I will defend guido on this one. I believe that he does give significant amounts to many charities. He may be confused and wrong on many things, but he does have a good heart. With a little proper therapy, he could be a liberal.

Thanks for the back-up. Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma will get a little more help (I really appreciate their hard work). And I agree with RA and warterboarding, and perhaps also this:



Or make me watch a marathon of The Backyardigans (I have to watch that b/o my son). Maybe that explains my conduct sometimes?  :P

O/T This thread has been going for a while. Below is a link giving state by state unemployment rates. Oklahoma is doing fairly well.

Sounds like it'd help if everyone would rally 'round the president then.

If it worked before it could work again.

It's unfortunate, but I believe that ended with the Iran/Contra scandal and White Water which was little more than retribution for I/C.  It gets worse with every change in leadership with either legislative house or the big white one on Pennsylvania Ave.

Which was retribution for Watergate (Iran/Contra).
Notice the pattern there?  The Republicontins actually committing crimes.  The Dummycrats getting blamed for committing crimes, but not really doing them.

If everyone would just listen to The Asteroids Galaxy Tour band, everything would be all right!!  And drink a Heineken while we're at it!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

On the job malfeasance is something the citizens should be concerned with.  If we did a poor job vetting a real estate crook and sexual predator prior to him becoming president, I don't see where that's worth a multi year multi million dollar investigation, but I think Gingrich envisioned himself as president some day if he could bring down Clinton.  Turns out, personal pecadillos and moronic aides aside, Clinton was actually a very successful president.

I have no doubt some very loyal people took a fall on behalf of Clinton.  It's their fault for getting so caught up in his ambition that they failed to blow the whistle properly before he could even secure the nomination.  I think it's probably impossible to rise to that level of power without some sort of power issues or being completely corrupt on the way up.

The whole process of Whitewater was nothing but vendetta.  It was paybacks for Watergate.  It was fraud on a massive scale, but NOT by Clinton.

And the whole idea of an impeachment for getting a BJ in the Oval office?  Well, that was brought to us by the guy who was in the middle of a decade long affair, followed by dumping the wife he was cheating on, then marrying the whore he had been hooking with.  See the hypocrisy??

And now, Newt wants to be President.  And he has plenty of support from the "moral majority".  Yeah, right!

There's little doubt the Clintons were dirty on the White Water deal, they had the power though to pardon co-conspirators so they bargained their way out and got others to obfuscate as much as possible.  As far as the BJ, that wasn't the issue.  Instead of being honest, Clinton perjured himself, plain and simple.  Was that a waste of time and money?  You bet it was.

Oh, puleezzzeeee...Whitewater was a cheesy little attempt to "sell" the Arkansas equivalent of desert "ranchettes".  If someone is stupid enough to buy 20 acres of desert with no infrastructure for 100 miles, then so be it.  They should investigate the situation first.  Like selling swamp land in Florida, it is not a crime, it is just a cheesy little scam on people who don't want to do any due diligence.

Here is some info about it;   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater_controversy

And here we come to the selective morality portion of the play.  Is lying about having a little boom-boom action in the Oval office worse than the lie of more than a decade, not just to his wife, but also to the American people, about Newt's whoring.  Which one is worse??  The answer to that is the selective part.

Not to even mention the hypocrisy of starting an impeachment in the middle of his big lie!
Well,...maybe to mention it...

I'm not cutting Billy Bob any slack, I'm just not cutting Newt any either.  So since action was taken against Billy Bob, where is the corresponding consequences for Newt.  Goes to personal accountability - one of the Republicontins favorite catch phrases.

One other thing about Billy Bob and Hillary - their lifestyle would appear to be somewhat in keeping with swingers and swappers.  Hillary never had any intention of dumping Billy Bob for this stuff.  She very well could be an active participant in the lifestyle and enjoy it as much as he.  She had to show some indignation for the press...but probably not really.

Newt's wife WAS NOT!  As shown by divorce!  There is a huge difference.

Random coincidence.  There's no way Obamacare is a job killer.
Hmm, I get this graph...



That is a neat trick, though! Adding jobs in a recession. Oh Heritage.

You might be interested to know that we're adding private sector jobs at about the same rate we did in the Bush Administration. You wouldn't know that from the headlines, though, since government layoffs are bringing the overall numbers down.
