Dig into this article to see what an untrustworthy backstabber Powell is.

The article also coveniently points out the pressures from Powell and company at the State Dept. against Bolton's nomination. Do you truly believe that the State Dept's current and past records of decades of bungled diplomacy and non-objective interests is the place to look for the leadership of the US? The thought actually makes me sicker than the little fluffy bunny implied.

And Powell has become a wimp in the fight against America's enemy, Islam. He no longer follows through on any of the tough words he uttered back in the days of the Gulf War. He is barely a shadow of his old past. He is not made of the right stuff for leadership, not even for his current position. I hope that you never have to mark my words.
Oh, really? Why not?
Such as?
Nothing like a winning Republican senate!
Which is what was excellent about him. In fact, Bolton is reminiscent of the late Jean Kirkpatrick (RIP). Incidentally, Kirkpatrick said of John Bolton last year, regarding his failed nomination:

"one of the smartest people I've ever encountered in Washington."

You can have your Republican loser senators - the whole lot of them.

Here's the latest article about Bolton (2 pages): Ousted Bolton puts world to rights

Bully! Bully!

And here's an appropriate almost immortal and prophetic quote for you:

"We stand equally against government by a plutocracy and government by a mob. There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with "the money touch," but with ideals which in their essence are merely those os so many glorified pawnbrokers."
- Theodore Roosevelt, letter to Sir Edward Grey, 1913

One more appropriate quote, representing what Bolton has very much stood for throughout his career:

"Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. If a nation shows that it knows how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters, if it keeps order and pays its obligations, it need fear no interference from the United States. Chronic wrongdoing, or an impotence which results in a general loosening of the ties of civilized society, may in America, as elsewhere, ultimately require intervention by some civilized nation, and in the Western Hemisphere the adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States, however reluctantly, in flagrant cases of such wrongdoing or impotence, to the exercise of an international police power."
- Theodore Roosevelt, Fourth State of the Union Address, 1904

Bully, bully, Bolton!

Where did you cut and paste that from? :hmm:

Something more to think about. This should clear things up: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

Care to comment?

Edit: I have removed my quote above of geetrue's text/post as per his request via PM today and in light of his retraction of an earlier post concerning United States Senator Barack Obama.

I love Snopes. :yep:

Growing up doesnt happen between the ages of 6 and 10, he didnt grow up in Indonesia. So far so good with the exaggeration, then?

Why should a candidate's religion make a difference? And surely the point of being a "born-again" Christian is that a fundamental change ocurred?

Right.....:shifty:

And Dr John Reid, the British Home Secretary is a pinko commie who is plotting a Communist takeover of power here in Britain. I know this because I attained the information from a source which regrettably I cannot reveal to the public as I don't have permission. But all you need to know is that in his youth at university he was a member of the British Communist Party. Give me a break. :roll:

I know you didnt meant it to be, but thats the funniest thing I've read all day....
:yep:

Yes indeed. :rotfl:

There are even a few right ring blogs who have even been highly critical of the Debbie Schlussel fact challenged ramble:
http://baldilocks.typepad.com/baldil...ing_to_th.html
http://www.thepoliticalpitbull.com/2...sein_obama.php

That first link does a good job of pointing out the blatant ignorance and, frankly, prejudice and bigotry that hes been displayed by the people who want to see this man lose. Good for the writer of that blog. I'm not sold on Obama, nor anybody for that matter, but I respect the man, and I think he deserves that, at least.

It could be worse - 'Hilary'. Now that is a scary word. I see visions of Hitler when it is said.

-S

Was that a conparison of Hilary Clinton to Hitler, or just a comparison of the sound of their respective names? :hmm:

I just read that Obama has officaly thrown his hat into the ring. Will be interesting to see the response, and who else will be putting there hand up!:hmm:

Quote from SUBMAN1:
"It could be worse - 'Hilary'. Now that is a scary word. I see visions of Hitler when it is said."

I'm not sure I'd go that far but She was strongly in favor of the Government keeping track of us and taking care of us. I would prefer a President that is more focused on protecting us then treating us like we're helpless and hopeless.

True, that was Hitlers goal too but I'm not sure I'd still go that far as to compare them to each other. After all, he had Military asperations and a civilian job before office.

It takes a village...


...to make sure we all remember to take our naps and vitamins.


:nope:

and don't forget to back up and defrag is good advice too ... but
back to "Who's hat is in the ring?"

This is about who the next president of the United States is, but how
do I separate me and the article? Color doesn’t work …
So anything big is me and small and in quotes is them, okay.

This is kind of new to me … the rules say you can’t post an entire article
So if you want to read a prophecy on the next president of the United States
You have to go here: (That is one long link, uh?)

Excerpt from the prophet Kim Clement on the Larry King show

Quote:

So when Larry King got that, you know, it was like a challenge to me. God saying, "I'm going to show you where kidnapped children are. I'm going to show you when the next great storm is. I'm going to show you who the next president is. . . " -- I KNOW who the next one is -- I'll show you things that are going to happen. Kim Clement

Odd that’s about kidnapped children the end of September, 2005
Or you can go here to Kim Clement’s web page and type in anything you want on his search engine:

http://www.kimclement.com/words/words.html

Now who is Kim Clement? He is a prophet out of South Africa that moved to the United States.
Kim prophesied 9/11 five years before the event
(“planes will come low over long island for the purposes of destroying America”)

Kim prophesied the election for 2000
To be the farce it was in Florida (before the count)

And Kim prophesied that America would make a mistake (proven to be in Iraq) but that God would defeat The God of the east anyway …

Signs of the times from a prophet coming true

Quote:

Kim Clement was born September 30, 1956 in South Africa, In 1991, Kim moved with his family to the USA.. He was in a nightclub in South Africa and someone walked up to him and stabbed him in the chest. In his confusion, he staggered out into the street and collapsed. That night, his life drained from a knife wound to his chest. After scores passed by, a stranger picked him up, carried him to his car, and drove him to a hospital. The stranger was a Christian. He remembered then what an Anglican minister had said to him when he was 9 years old. He said, “Jesus walks the streets still today. One day you will need him, just call on him and he will touch you.”

Tell me you dont believe in prophecies...

i prophesise that there will be a reply to my post.:shifty:

for crying out loud, i still lived at home on sept 11, my mother came and woke me up saying "you remember what you said about a big terrorist strike a few weeks ago, it just happened".

Does that mean i can tell the future too?:88)

Also, that whole "god would defeat the god of the east anyway" thing is complete and utter crock.

Without looking to go on a religious trend im saying this wholly and solely to refute a comment made by this 'prophet'. (please PLEASE if you wanna start harping on about religion do it in one of their threads)

the 'god of the east' which this bloke has taken to be allah, is one and the same as the christian god. He also happens to be the jewish god. They're one and the same, to destroy one is to destroy all. and therefore that comment is, to me, proof of his bull****e-ery.:down:

So says the Israeli necon warhawk :roll:

Gee......... and I thought being a housewife was a full-time job. :hmm:

Slur away!

You say that like it's a bad thing... :huh:

Personally I think Powell's gone soft myself. Can I be a neocon warhawk too? Please?

:arrgh!:
