A successful election in the arab heartland, a stable Afghanistan, a budding peace process in Palestine, a rejuvenated if still sluggish economy, new ideas on broken entitlement programs, advancement of a black women and hispanic into top roles in the cabinet....

Obviously if this continues it will be catastrophic to the nation...errr the Democratic party.

"A successful election in the arab heartland,"
Yes, there has only been about 40 people killed in suicide bombings since the election. woooohooooo!

"a stable Afghanistan,"
poppy crop coming in ...

"a budding peace process in Palestine,"
Hahahahahahaha

"a rejuvenated if still sluggish economy,"
the economy has been 'rejuvenated if still sluggish' for about 4 years now. Some day it will actually happen.

"new ideas on broken entitlement programs,"
sounded like old ideas to me

"advancement of a black women and hispanic into top roles in the cabinet...."
Hahahahaha, thanks for the pick me up.

Ok, so basically your point is you can find kernels of negativity anywhere in the world...GOOD JOB convinces me that GWB is a total buffoon.




a) scores of people are being killed in random acts of violence instead of 10's of thousands in Saddam's programs of ethnic extermination, ill fated wars against his neighbors, and random rapes and murders perpetrated in fits of psycopathic rage-paranoia...

b) Afghanistan is better off by almost every measurement of human living standards, its women have been freed, ethnic friction has been suprisingly low,elections a success, and the future is very bright. Oh but they grow poppy in a poor country where it has been harvested for centuries....strike all that good stuff- GWB is a monkey ...

c) Well, time will tell though Id say the substantial and tangible steps taken by Abu Mazen to secure Gazas border is a legitimate reason for optimism. You skepticism here is understandable...

d) The economy is fine. Unemployment/wages are historically good. Equity markets are good. Home ownership is very high. The deficit is troubling...but then again it has been for decades now and the sky hasnt fallen yet.

e) Wow, hard to respond to stupidity that dips quite this low....

Sen Byrd (DEM. WV)- "We used to call them n*gg***, and we didnt like them much at all where I was from."

Jesse Jackson (former dem candidate for president and well known democratic activist)- "Everyone knows who runs NYC.....its Heimeytown"-paraphrased

I dont know if that clan member was a GOP member or Bush supporter ....we do know these two men are Democrats.

I tend to stay out of the fray in most of this, mainly because around here it's a good show just to watch. But I think I can clear up the "minorities in power" a little.
Neither party has done this. Yes Reps. has Condi, but condi is black only in skin color. She's culturally white (i.e. she isn't a facsimile of those she's supposed to represent). That's the reason that most people still view both parties as run by "whitey."

Congrats on your new "Race analyst of all 6 billion humans" job. Im glad you can differentiate who is black from who is only skin deep black...keep up the good work.

OTOH Alot of blacks I know look at someone like LIL John and think he isnt really black. These blacks happen to be from Africa..
