Did we look much further than Cindy, to see what was being said here?I admit I didn't at first (because of my lack of respect for Cindy). However, when I later read the actual article, I think this is a cause worth noting. It is not about the Iraq war (at least this particular protest). It is about real people being pushed off of their land.I don't know if using Cindy was a good idea here. I

Anybody know what Cindy Sheehan's appearance fee is? I'm serious. Obviously her life is that of a professional protester.

Lew,You may be right (as in opposite of wrong) on the Tax thing.The numbers I can find do indicate that tax revenue has increased since the tax cuts.I think maybe I should sell some more stock before the end of this year.

While I am no fan of Cindy Sheehan and her tactics, she does serve to remind us all of the Administration’s deceit and incompetence in Iraq. Her effectiveness can be measured by the fact that she cannot be ignored by the Kool-aid drinkers who are now choking on the Kool-aid and find that they must lash out at her. Just read this blog.

Spelling errors are often used to draw attention to the sign. It's an old ploy and gets the message noticed.Still, while Sheehan has every right to do as she is doing, I still feel she is wrong and paints a false picture of her deceased hero son. I also think the left and the lamestream media enable her to continue.Rarely mentioned is that he voluntarily reenlisted and volunteered for the mission

Lew,I get the general economic concept, where putting more spending money in people's hands can stimulate economic growth (almost makes me want to go shopping again).I just am not certain that decreasing the tax of the top income groups really does this. I know I am not likely to increase my spending based on what I save in taxes. I am likely to increase my savings. (I am not in the top income

Overall, coboble, they work to raise revenue by encouraging job creation. Each of us has more money to spend, we go spend it, causing business to manufacture more goods, hire more people, build new plants which employ even more people and all of them pay taxes.This doesn't mean we can do away with taxes, just get them to a fair level.Many claim to debunk cuts, and cry about no jobs and lousy

Lew, I agree that you add a valuable perspective on many subjects.How is lowering taxes going to increase tax revenue?I realize that sometimes by lowering the correct taxes the economy can be stimulated, causing job creation, leading to more income to tax. But I am not certain that the proposed cuts accomplish this. One can spin the numbers to make it look like this. I guess the real data I would

Cindy's pathetic, and I feel sorry for her. Unable to accept her son's decisions, she spits on his grave and is glorified in the media. Her husband divorced her over the antics, and all she has to cling to are her leftie cohorts and hope for more media exposure.To me, she's like O.J. - the less of her, the better.

There is one thing fizzi has said that I agree with... Congress should have debated and then issued a formal declaration of war. To win we must be fully engaged and fighting to win not as we are currently fighting not to lose.The change in direction that we need in Iraq is not out but a change in how we fight. We need to take the PC way of fighting the war and flush it. We need to go after the

There is hope Fizziwig. What with the election, Rummy’s finally gone, and Bush is starting to listen to his father and his people. It appears that Lew and his kind (30 per centers) who defend the status quo in Iraq are being abandoned by the very administration they have supported.

You are right Lew, I have not lost anything in the Iraq war.1. I have not lost the respect of the Congess that gave Bush carte blanche to invade Iraq rather than exercising its consitutional duty to debate and declare war.2. I haven't lost the respect of this lying and incompetent administration.3. I haven't lost my self-respect for being gullible enough to believe Bush's reasons for going to

On C-Span every morning, compassionate conservatives call in to suggest that we "nuke" the Iraqis or "mow them all down." They have apparently lost track of the Bush administration's current lie to justify this disaster, which is to "bring democracy" to the Iraqis. The callers let the mask slip, and reveal the true face of the Republican Party.In fact, the American people do not give a crap how

The belittling is going both ways. I don’t think either major political party has a monopoly on compassion for others. I don’t think either party has a monopoly on selfishness. It is NOT true that the Left only cares about their own freedom. There are other reasons people oppose the war (some just because a Republican ordered it). However Lew, You do have a point. It is an ALL VOLUNTEER

fizzi, our "prestige" in the world went in the toilet long ago, thanks to the cut and runners. The whole world knows America will never stand with an ally again, as we did in WW2 and thanks to the last election, we are poised to abandon another.But, since when does the left care about a few million foreigners lives? Since when do they care about freedoms, other than their own? But, let me ask you

Belittling those who oppose the war is about all that is left for the supporters of the Fiasco. Didn't the last election teach the stay and payers anything. Stay and pay with the blood of our soldiers, our treasury, and our prestige in the world. Stay and pay, and pay, and pay, and pay.

It is not very nice to pick on people for being dyslexic.Maybe that sign has some meaning we are not getting. I didn't notice it was spelled wrong (but I can read and write backwards anyway, so I think my brain just switches things to something logical automatically).

lew,I agree that Casy reenlist against her wishes. There lies the problem. The person she is mad at the most is Casy for he is gone and she cannot yell at him for the choices he made.Everything else is her poor reaction to a situation that she never had any control over.

Lord, can't this woman see her 15 minutes were up long ago?Casey embodies everything heroic we have ever produced as a nation. He was a grown man, not a child and decided against her wishes to reenlist voluntarily and volunteer for a dangerous mission where he gave his life for others.What she is pulling is against his grown adult choices and makes amockery of those choices.
