Bush addresses the nation on the economy and the stock market tanks. Irony

The only thing typical CostaMesa is your response. It’s typical of someone who hates being questioned.
I expressed neither preference nor affilitation toward any type of political/social group, party, organization. But you start tossing out labels when there isn’t really anywhere to be tossing them.

I suggested early on that you know how things work (the context was the structure and responsibilites of the various branches of the federal government) before you start making statements (adds validity to your position not necessarily a bad thing is it?).
I then stated that unless you seek information from another perspective (the other side of the coin or edges and giving the concession of forgoing objectivity) that the your reasoning and therefore any conclusion is faulty.

Why does that threaten you?

That is “slamming” someone? If you think this is “slamming” someone then you must live a very sheltered life. Your response actually adds validity to the point I was pursuing.

Please what? I said I am no fan of G. Bush, am I am Democrat? I questioned the (implied!)premise that the Clinton Gore administration was a paragon of governmental excellence so I’m a Republican?

CostaMesa, if you truly are an engineer (and I’m not saying you’re not), then you would know the technically correct answer to the half full/empty question: The glass has margin. The other answers are just touchy-feely social science crap. ;^p

“Typical talk-radio-conservative crap. Slam others for precisely what you’re doing – insist that they’re the ones with the problem as a way to distract attention from your own activities.

Example: The phrase “Leftwing Media Bias” Conservatives seem to believe that any information that runs contrary to their talking points is inherently biased. Well, duh! ”

I read this as saying that I (sdns) was espousing “conservative crap” and therefore a “conservative”
The example “Leftwing Media Bias” I read as validation to the former. Therefore tossing out labels. I am incorrect?

If you are an engineer then why so adverse to my stating that you should know how things work and look at it from all sides and applying it your political/economic views?

What do you expect of your engineers are they “slammed” because you expect them to know how things work in their given discipline, to evaluate their work and to approach a task or problem from a different perspective?

Whoa… Lets all take a breather!

Raybyrnes posted the comment (I think about why can’t the democrats field a successful candidate vs. why have the Republicans (GW) destroyed everything our country stands for and we have worked for as a nation… (Note I am paraphrasing!) The Republican’s pick a leader and get behind him. They use fear mongering and hatred… all the time they are picking our pockets. They also play the religion card, the birth control card, the abstinence card, the abortion card, the scary Mexicans card, etc. And with our sheeplike population, it’s easy to find something to be afraid of. The Democrats just intellectually destroy each other during elections until the final victor is so beaten down that the Republican’s can finish them off.

I vote Democratic because the Republicans don’t espouse the family values and core values that I believe a thinking, caring person should care about. Most of their ‘family values’ are actually anti-family anti-society values. Thats the hipacritical part. That doesn’t mean that I like most of the Democratic higher-ups… It just means that I think a large majority of the Republicans are hypocrites, and their cult worship hurts my country and my family.

I think Clinton was a pretty good president – he was a little weak on execution. I can’t even come to grips with what a dangerous and poor leader GW is. You couldn’t write a story which would have a more pathetic dangerous idiot at the helm and be believed… Its almost Kafkaesque.

A recent article I read states that if the United States gets behind any leader in the Arab world, they automatically will lose their election. Thats how bad it’s gotten. We are the laughingstock of every civilized and uncivilized country out there… They would be laughing much louder if we weren’t so dangerous.

That being said, we aren’t too dangerous anymore… The imbecilic prosecution of the war has left us pretty weak and puny. Imagine if we did need to take action against a North Korea, Iran, or Belgium? (Just kidding about Belgium – the US population would find out that we might have a chocolate crisis and would immediately capitulate!

If GW really cared about this country he would abdicate. He is so protected about what people think that he actually thinks that he is doing well. Its frightening.
