"only 6000 Americans killed"?everyone is our friend but Al-Qaeda.

in far away places

If this is "isolationist"!

people are having a hard time articulating...because we have been spun so hard about TERROR.

are as angry as we are at the administration?? No! They love torture and outsourcing and rich Middle East countries whose rulers hold hand with George Dubai, don't they?

But I will today, in hopes I can get lucky.

they are finally tired of being mind-raped.

:rofl:

"we need to be isolationist until we get our own house in order"

own house)

Ethics Committee? What is wrong with this picture?

As in a wholesale replacement. With people who understand about ethics and share the public's concerns. They have all sold out to the dollars of their campaign financiers and really aren't terribly concerned about their constituent's worries, little thing, like, say, the Patriot Act!

They were sooo convinced that to have an independent group overseeing the legalities of taking bribes would violate their own chances of proving their worth by doing it themselves. As with an alcoholic, they can't bear to acknowledge the fact that they can't control their addiction by themselves and need support.
Typical, sadly and unfortunately.
There was one vote (aye)for such a committee, but I missed who it was. Lautenburg, I think.
There will be no real major reform. Even the dynamic Ms. Slaughter seemed less than enthusiastic about a lot of the public scrutiny measures.

upset by now? At least he's quit asking people if they are sure that they are a Republican.

Bush: U.S. Should Welcome Competition

Bush: U.S. Should Welcome Competition
President Bush Urges Americans to Welcome and Not Fear Competition From India, Other Countries

By DEB RIECHMANN

HYDERABAD, India Mar 3, 2006 (AP)— President Bush urged Americans worried about a U.S. job drift to India and other countries to welcome, not fear, competition with this rapidly growing nation of 1 billion.

"The classic opportunity for our American farmers and entrepreneurs and small businesses to understand is there is a 300 million-person market of middle class citizens here in India," Bush said Friday during a discussion with young entrepreneurs at a business school here, "and that if we can make a product they want, that it becomes viable."

The meeting with business leaders and an earlier tour around the dusty campus of an agricultural college were aimed at showcasing ways the United States and India can cooperate to spur innovation across industries.
India's exploding economy has created millions of jobs. India's outsourcing industry alone is expected to bring in $22 billion in revenue this fiscal year, much of that generated by U.S. companies.

"People do lose jobs as a result of globalization and it's painful for those who lose jobs," Bush acknowledged. "Globalization provides great opportunities."

a lot of people begin to find it hard to cover for this criminal bunch.
