(AP - Los Angeles) - Robert R

(AP - Los Angeles) - Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in character as the crusading Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post breaking the Watergate story that would bring down a criminal Republican administration.  Ironically, the lessons from Watergate were soon lost as another Republican administration callously disregards the laws of our great nation and drags us into a quagmire, much like Nixon did with Vietnam.  Where, oh where, are today's versions of Woodward and Bernstein?  Is there no objective journalist who sees the crimes currently occurring in the White House and feels the need to expose them?

Liberals make me want to puke.

You are correct.  The Kenned

WOODWARD:  Damn! I wish we went to journalism school. Writing fiction is very difficult, especially when it’s about the president and his men.

BERNSTEIN:  Yeah, yeah, I know. By the way, does Bradley still have Marilyn Monroe’s diary, or did he give to the Kennedys?

Woodward: I feel bad writing

Woodward: I feel bad writing these stories about Nixon, since he's such an honest guy.

Bernstein: Yeah, me too. But at least Redford and Hoffman will play us in the movie.

Woodward: Sweet.

That was pretty funny

Cheesy movies at the Sundance Film Festival

Hoffman:  What are you working on?

Redford:  I'm working on a movie script for the Sundance Film Festival.

Hoffman:  What's the Sundance Film Festival?

Redford:  It's a cheesy idea I have where a bunch of left wing actors who think they are really talented hang out, and act extremly stuck up.

Hoffman:  Sounds great! 

Redford:  Yeah, but unfortunately these stuckup left wing movie makers, haven't come up with any material as good as "Cannonball Run", but they're still trying.

 Redford:Yeh,Nixon made a mess of Vietnam. No president will ever screw up in a war as much as Nixon. We will learn from our mistakes.Imagine us ever attempting to force democracy down throats of people that don't want it.

Paralyzed By Fear

Has it ever occurred to you  the citizens of Iraq just might want democracy after all?  Has it ever occurred to you that it may take some time for them to figure out how to go about it? Has it ever occurred to you that the same fanatics that attacked us are the ones trying to prevent it from taking root there?  Has anything worth fighting for ever occurred to you?

Tell me my liberal friend – why are you and the rest of your kindred spirit paralyzed by fear of victory in Iraq?  I’d really like to understand.

Has it ever occurred to you  the citizens of Iraq just might want democracy after

how can we expect one there when we dont even have a democracy here. most of the country and congress doesnt want this war. have you thought about the real reason we are there??..if you say democracy, then we can say Chavez  loves Bush!...tdf

 Has anything worth fighting for ever occurred to you?

yes, in ww2 before the military industrial complex and oil companies took over the oil house!

chat with me again jimbo when youve been sucessfully deprogrammed.

Are you OK Rheyes?

Holy crap Rhayes. Are you OK?  I'm afraid you might try to hurt yourself.  Put the knife down. 

By the way.  I was watching Hillary today.  I'm begininng to think she may love bush too.

Jimbo says - "There is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason"

Stuff

It has occured to me that the citizens of Iraq don't want to cower in front of a deranged, lunatic dictator any longer.  Maybe that's the reason we are there.  And tell me, if we were'nt there who in the hell is going to go help those poor souls? What's your problem with that Rhayes or is this another attempt by you at botched humor.

We did not attack Saddam beca

We did not attack Saddam because of oil.  Were oil the overriding concern, we would have taken over Kuwait and/or Saudi Arabia under the pretext of 'protecting' them. 

We went to Iraq because the startegy was to plant a democracy adjacent to both Syria and Iran and so destabilize BOTH of those enemy regimes.  As secodary motives, we went there to kill Al Zarqawi's Al Qaeda cell and oust Saddam, a Stalinist dictator actively supporting and harboring terrorists as well as plottong to take revenge on the United States.

The evidence that this is true is overwhelming.  Care to debate?

NL207...

I sometimes think we should just agree with our liberal friends about the oil claim. Then we could blame them entirely for the war. Is it not the liberals that stop new drilling here in the USA, thereby making us totally dependant on foriegn oil?

Oil

I’ve always conceded the point on oil being a factor.  I see it as an issue of national security, not the ridiculous assertion that it is somehow to line the pockets of the President and his administration.

Jimbo says - "There is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason"

Either way the President coul

Either way the President could of used it for a mandatory order to start drilling here, and thrown in Katrina and disasters while he was at...high prices ect...

He has had numerous opportunities to order drilling done here for our own self-dependency and safety.

People would of agreed...the majority of this nation would of.

Drilling can be done underwater and ground so safely now without hurting the environment and with prices high and the war going on with the terrorist using us to help pay for their war against us with the oil prices...people in this country would of said go for it...I have seen numerous times that have been squandered at the bully-pulpit when it comes to this....and btw...the majority of congress would of had to pass it back then...

Oh well....

...although he has ordered Bristol Bay, Ak. opened!

Alaska

This is probably a naïve thought, but I wonder if the government can establish oil fields in Alaska that are tapped into the pipeline, and fire them up only when the cost of foreign oil goes above $X??  Produce enough oil during those times to offset the increased cost kind of thing.

Jimbo says - "There is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason"

I don't know, but why not...m

I don't know, but why not...most of Ak. is federal govt. property anyway, Nevada is second to it...so anyway, I dont know, but not a bad idea.

Hell, they were only one vote short in the Senate to get ANWR opened up anyway...again here last year...good ol' McCain anad his Global Warming and no-drilling theory, then you had your usual regular RINO's too, but there were enough votes from the dem's to offset it, we only needed one vote...my heart goes out to Ted Stevens he has worked and been promised that his would go through for over 35 years....it is pathetic for this country now.

Ah well...time will tell, the way the world is going who knows what is going to happen but windmills and woodchips aren't going to do it in the near future if we have a major emergency.

I guess we could honestly say

I guess we could honestly say that oil could be a factor if we are worried that the oil supply from the arab world got cut off because of a number of scenarios. One being Saddam eventually attacking Saudi Arabia with the threat of WMD's.

If liberals want us out of middle east oil troubles, why are they so against drilling here at home? They conveniently forget that the whole country (and most of the rest of the world) runs on oil. Even liberals like driving on smooth roads, ooops, it takes oil to make paved roads. Let's try another....liberals love fresh produce even locally grown, ooops again, it has to be delivered by trucks that need....guess what? yep...oil again.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Clear,

Care for a little giggle?  Here's a nice visualization of liberal hypocricy concerning oil....a site that has photos of all of their vehicles (with the manufacturer's m.p.g. attached) and their lovely "enviro" bumper stickers.

My personal favorite is the old blazer (8.7 m.p.g.) with the "BE GREEN" sticker on it.

These "war for oil" people are whack jobs.

Well, that is one thing I liked that Pres. Bush put in his speech the other night...about doubling our oil reserves here...now to the refineries, and our own oil!

So, do you like Bush's program to try and develop Fuel cell cars?

Also, do you condemn Ted Kennedy for opposing a wind farm near his home?

On the nuclear issue, what is your concern? The French use 'em, and the left keeps saying we need to be more like the French.

Ted has a wind farm? Great!

and how about converting some or your noxious gases into methane for fuel, free smell?

Free Stinker Says:

FreedomCAR - On-going gov't program to develop alternate fuel vehicles. This isn't something that just popped up for the election.

Ted doesn't have a wind farm, he blocked it. I was asking you what you thought of Ted Kennedy blocking it.

You also didn't mention what your opposition to Nuclear energy is.
