Iran is a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Th New England Journal of Medicine conducted a survey that found that 30% of all doctors in America will retire if this health car bill pass. We will lose a third of all our doctors. I wonder what that will do to the price and availability of health care

I don't really care. I dont have kids. If I did, the schools out here are pretty good. They still have dress codes and rodeo teams and teach real history without liberal or conservative activists trying to indoctrinate our kids.

most folks here in Texas West think the folks in Austin are a bunch of city folk idjits and imported yankees claiming to be Texans and whining because Texas isn't more like California.

people believe what they want to believe and see everything with a sort of tunnel vision where everything is distorted to reinforce their preconceived beliefs

"How many legs does a dog have if you count the tail as a leg?

Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg"

-Abraham Lincoln

there is no debate or discussion of ideas anymore. just bashing and demonizing

and by saying stuff like that YOU BECOME Limbaugh/Glenn beck/Sean hannity

what they are is a just left wing version of O'Reilly and Beck. Propagandists using half truths and manipulated facts to bash those who believe differently, There's no difference between them and the right-wing propagandists

You took it upon yourself to come into this thread and insult Texans so don't be surprised when the Texans tell you to fook off

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998


"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
-- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

I was born my papa's son,
when I hit the ground I was on the run.

no one seems to be able to answer why there is such a rush to pass something that won't take effect until after the next Presidential election four years from now

this sounds like a job for Jose Cuervo
