Artful Dodger: It just seemed pretty fishy to me that the prices dropped that fast!

Artful Dodger: this board would be really boring if we all agreed,lol

Tuesday: ask the jews and the polish that question about wwII

Vikings: their lives aren't being destroyed...why don't you go take apoll over there and ask the ones who have had family members killed,lost the only home they have ever known if their lives are being destroyed...They are being liberated...but at what cost??

tazman7474: Oil prices are down due to world demand being down as a result of the economy, they were dropping before the election starting with Bushes declaration to the end of the executive order on the drilling ban

How about a new slant on here? Back in August, I was paying $4.25 a gallon for gas. Now it's down to $1.80, could that have anything to do with the new president NOT having ties to the oil companies?

Tuesday: their lives aren't being destroyed, that is a liberal media slant, they are being liberated now without fear of retribution for innocent actions as they were before, but that won't be reported until the end of janruary,

Tuesday: Gravy in the spaghetti? That must be another one of those Ozarks things, kind of like fried bologna sandwiches *1*

Tuesday: no it is not, Bagdad is under control of the Iraqi's, their crime rate is lower than chicago's,

Tuesday: at least Bush won't be in office to much longer to make anymore of his ignorant jokes about the war over their...

Artful Dodger: now who is putting words in peoples mouths?? I didn't think she implied that at all...a bit touchy,are ya?? so...let me get this straight...YOUR words..."but you said that even though he was doing good in Africa, he was also destroying homes in other countries. That's not accurate" ok,so it's NOT accurate that he is destroying homes...BUT you also say in the same post..... People killed, property destroyed. That is true. These things have happened. ummmm,NOW I am confussed..... "Israel is killing innocent civilians. It's inaccurate." so the lil 12 year old boy,or however old he was that I just saw on the news that was KILLED...he was not an innocent civilian???

Tuesday: Did you see the hundreds of thousands of people being murdered and maimed before we went in?

Murder rate in Bagdad is now lower than Chicago

Artful Dodger: she never said that he went for the SOLE PURPOSE of destroying homes

Oh please.... not another Bush in the white house.

The problem with Blagojevich is that I believe he was planning on bigger and better things (like a President run at some point), so this "scandal" has really thrown a wrench into his plans.

Of course I don't think bigger and better things are possible, but by resigning or running away, it will make him look guilty and will most defiantly be little chance of him moving on to bigger & better things - and the only hope (small one now) that he has is to deny & fight back.

Jim Dandy: ROTFLMAO!!!!

Artful Dodger: Not only was he one of your best Presidents,he appreciated a good cigar,a mans man

Tuesday: Karma came around on Richardson for throwing the Clintons under the bus.

Tuesday: who knows....she just dissapeared, saying she couldn't get the internet where she is or something like that, but no doubt a certain person will put us all straight LOL...can't mention names on a public board, hahahaha

Tuesday: I was meaning AD.....using the word "BLACK".....SHE REPORTED ME TO THE GLOBS ONCE FOR IT, WHEN i WAS REFERRING TO THE nz FOOTBALL TEAM.... They are called the "all blacks"....oops caps LOL she was paranoid about colour ROFL

Artful Dodger: arent you lucky that Srnity isnt here any longer......she would be up you like a rat up a drain pipe LOL...talking about "blacks" like that

Czuch: Blimey .. If politicians stopped taking 'bribes' there might be some actual honest.. ish government.

Czuch:i don't know, they already had him under investigation for other stuff, now everyone has abandoned him,His party shuns him like he has leprosy, the media has him guilty and the feds want him bad enough, then he's going down , fair or not.

Tuesday: What is it called when you discount someone who is a qualified candidate simply because you dont like the guy who nominated him?

BTW, I think this guy bloggo, or whatever his name is, is not going to be found guilty. In politics there are always some form of payment for everything. It doesnt have to be money, it can be clout or even a meeting can be considered "payment" of a kind.

When you are considering an appointment among many qualified people, its part of normal politics to get something in return for it... you pat my back I pat your back, who can pat your back the best?

But it doesnt mean that he waqs actually going to accept cash money from the highest bidder and give them the nomination?

Anyway, I hope the FBI has him actually accepting a true bribe and acting upon it, or else it is all circumstantial conjecture, and if they dont have him red handed taking bribe money, then I think it will just be another bad example of politics as usual!

Vikings: A very stupid power thing. We've had interpol for ages.
