MD, once and for all answer this….which party is the one that doesn’t believe in government expansion? Because the two parties who are relevant are both all about it. This has been firmly and finally established and its really beyond any reasonable debate.

Smily, did you hear Obama’s speech? Because I thought it was excellent and he made some good points. I also thought the plan he laid out for the Guantanamo prisoners made sense. Further I learned that most of the prisoners who have been released thus far, and the vast majority of those who have returned to battle were released by the Bush admin. That was news to me. I did not hear Cheney’s speech so I can’t compare the two.

But I know Cheney’s a buffoon, so I can guess at it’s content.

PS, I just moved all this to the MD/RY political page. Add anything to this thread that’s funny, even if on a political bent, but take the politics over there. Should be fun to have a continuing thread on all this.

What happened to the RY sense of humor anyway? This thread had a lot of potential for awhile.

Speaking of getting names wrong. did anyone hear Obama mistakenly say his secretary of defense was William Gates. I guess he gave up on Microsoft. If that were Bush, we’d all be hearing what a moron he is. He sure ain’t much without a teleprompter. Usually comes off like a bafoon. I’m also getting tired of the phrase “previous administration.” WTF! Get sum nuts and come up with some new excuses! I ain’t no Bush or Cheney fan but Cheney wiped his butt with Obama today.

Thanks LATO.
I don’t care if Oscar the Grouch, Andre the Giant or Paris Hilton said it—-it is true and certainly something for all of us to keep in mind during these times of the massive expansion of governmental power.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

It is more dangerous that even a guilty person should be punished without the forms of law than that he should escape.

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.

I like Jefferson too.

LATO, thanks for the suggestion, but I prefer beer and/or Jack to cheer me up.
