Where did I say Bush pulled the trigger?

You didn't. But it was implied in the way you wrote the little piece. Is English your second language by any chance?

WTF? I didn't imply he'd pull the trigger. Why would he do that? At the least he'd get some supposed communist sympathizer to do the job.

So how come Bush Sr. "doesn't remember" where he was? How come Nixon was in Dallas that morning? You have way too much blind trust in politicians.

You were certainly impling that he was responsible in some way for the murder of JFK. Now seeing as most people who aren't paranoid conspiracy theorists now accept that the murder was commited by one... ma... oh

I take it you don't know much about the JFK assassination. Ask StatesRights, I think he blames it all on LBJ.

He's not the Bush who did a lot of drugs. He was 39 at the time. There's something wrong with pretty much anyone who was 39 then and can't remember what they were doing when they heard of the JFK assassination.

JFern,

Is the casualty rate the only measure of success in a War? I realize that you Democrats would never pass up a chance to score political points at the deaths of US soldiers, but surely there is more than one criteria when you analyze how well, or poorly, a war is progressing.

The measure of success that matters is obviously the amount of graft, corruption, and war profiteering that can be done by the cronies of whoever is in power at the time.

JFern,
So, it is your position that the President of the United States would willingly kill 2,000 American soldiers to gain hold of a good political issue, that is what you're saying, right?

I think this is clearly one purpose, though the aforementioned profiteering and corruption is equally important.

Mark,

It doesn't surprise me that Miers is not worth much.  A lot of us including myself were all over her on day one her the boards.

I have been getting a very bad feeling about the Special Prosecutor these last two days.  So it doesn't shock me that some one might get indicted soon.

Dark days?  Maybe.  But its always darkest before the dawn.  Perhaps some demons need to be excorcised before the party can get its bearings again.  And we had lost our way long before Quagmiers and Rovegate.



I have to agree with you here, John.

The Republican congress has behaved disgracefully on spending, and stands for nothing at this point beyond the maintenance of its own power.  Denny Hastert has become our own Republican version of Tip O'Neill -- big, fat and out of control, at least with respect to government spending.

Of course, I hate the Democrats, and view them as a worse alternative.  But politics should be about a little more than choosing the party you hate the least.  Every party needs a good jolt occasionally to wake up those who have led it astray.

I just want to confirm to all newcomers that Mark is a reliable source.  He gave  us the John Edwards information 12 hours before the mainstream media broke it.

So you don't find it strange that Nixon was in Dallas then? He spent almost most all of his life in CA, NY, and DC. Why was he in Dallas that morning?

No. It's a free country. There's no law against going to a big city in the United States.
I don't think anything else even remotely points to him being involved in the murder of JFK anyway.

My personal favorite is aloe vera.  It's all natural so it doesn't burn at all during urination afterwards.

Let me ask you a question; is there any evidence pointing towards a conspiracy? (and no, that film by Oliver Stone doesn't count as evidence. Films and reality do sometimes differ. I understand that this may be a difficult concept for you to grasp).

Let me guess, you actually believe lawyer Arlen Specter's magic bullet theory?

I actually saw a show on the Discovery channel last Saturday in which they recreated all three shots that occur in the single-shooter theory using carefully-molded models out of gelatin and a material used to simulate bone.  Supposedly, when stored at the right temperature, this gelatin perfectly recreates the physics of an object travelling through human flesh.

For the third shot, they painted the target on JFK's body, set up models to simulate Connolly's body, arm, and leg, and then had a professional marksman make the shot.  The shot went through JFK, through Connolly's body, hit the bone in his wrist, and deflected just so that it turned enough to hit Connolly's leg.

It wasn't a perfect recreation because they later found that the bullet was half an inch too low and shattered two ribs in Connolly's body instead of just one, lessening the bullet's velocity enough that it didn't pierce his leg, but the trajectory was absolutely dead-on, and with only a single bullet.

Was the bullet then found in near perfect condition?

2. BUT...the Patrick Fitzgerald investigation is about to EXPLODE in our faces in a bigger way than I ever could have imagined. Despite no real hard evidence beyond inference and "common sense" supposition, Fitzgerald will proceed with a host of charges against a host of people up and down the Bush administration. This issue will not stop at Rove and/or Libby. Get ready for the 2005 version of Iran Contra.



Do you believe that Fitz may go as high as the President and Vice President?  I doubt either could be indicted, but maybe unindicted co-conspirator?

Do you think that any of the charges will stick or will most be dismissed?

Thanks.

From what I've read, the case against Delay is very solid and he will be found guilty on at least one of the charges.

Baby oil's good as well.  If it sat for a while, baby oil's the worse alternative.  Anyway, wlecome back Mark.  It's a shame you have to be such a jerkoff to us Dems.  You act as if we're trying to ruin America.  Get off the high horse you rode on, please!

I mean there were all those charges and everything but I can't remember how many went to jail.
