tbone wrote im sorry but do you not remember sadam using chemical weapons on the kurds in iraq he certainly had them. do you not know that there is a difference between had and has does it not occur to you that his wmds could have been removed from iraq prior to our invasion nope and if you would look past your bias you would know that it would never happen either. furthermore if i were a dictator of a country the size of california i think i could easily hide both the wmds and the equipment neccessary to produce them within my own borders despite ground mapping radar etc but i think the stuff was removed from iraq. then you would be foolish. first of all while it is possible that he could have hidden this stuff so well that after years we still cannot find it then they had to be pretty much inaccessible to him as well and if you cannot use them then what difference does it make if they still exist furthermore why hide something that you can easily make again later. he had the knowledge of how to make then and knew what was needed to do so. why hide what can be later found and used against him when he could simply make new when they are needed. now you and other like you come up with this fantasy that they were moved out of iraq. where exactly do you think that they went do you really think that a man like saddam would hand over something that could and possibly would be used against him to someone else. are you really this stupid hidden and inaccessable are entirely different. an alley like siria would be a good place to move the stuff. many trucks went into siria before the coallition invasion. we dont know what was in them. the fact that siria may have the weapons and/or production facilities scares me. lets not forget that for quit a while the un had been threatening sanctions if sadam did not destroy his chemical and biological weapons. he produced a huge report meant to prove their destruction while drowning anyone reading it with data. even the un concluded that it was so much old information that was merely re-packaged and didnt prove anything. i figure that if the un isnt fooled its a good chance that the proof is bogus. its amazing to me that those who hate bush use the argument that no wmds were found thus he or his staff lied hence he cant be trusted. get real. he gave us a bunch of crap as to why we needed to go to war and here are some of the more popular ones. 1. saddam was in league with the terrorists. this has been provent to be complete crap. i thought they found camps that were likely used for training terrorists. i could be wrong. 2. saddam still had massive amounts of chemical weapons and the facilities to produce even more. once again we have found nothing even after years of looking in either weapons in storage or the facilities to produce more. 3. saddam was going to use these weapons against the us. lol since he didnt have them or has them so well hidden that nobody can find them how is he going to use them against anyone i restate that hidden an inaccessible are different. the simple fact of the matter is that the man liked living in luxury and was not about to forfeit all of that to make a pointless strike against the us or any other powerful nation. dont forget that he was also very sadistic and became president by means of terror and intimidation. i saw a discovery channel special about a highly placed scientist working in sadams weapons programs who was able to escape from iraq. his first hand accounts finally convinced me that the invasion was just and neccessary. the only way he was able to escape was to appear incompetent so that he and his family no longer warranted continual monitoring. even then the night they left was fraught with danger. im no fan of bush 43 but the no wmds were found line of reasoning is illogical and your usage of it shows your bias. sorry to burst your bubble ed but the truly biased on here is you. i dont like the man because he has done nothing in the past seven years that is positive for the common middle class person. he is an idiot and a fool and has made this country a laughing stock and a target. as for my line even the idiot himself now admits that there are no wmd;s in iraq and that he did not have them. the largest tax collection in history this past april at least partially as a result of his insistence in a tax cut doesnt count i freely admit that im a conservative and i disagreed with bill clinton on just about everything but i never called him an idiot or any other derogatory name other than philanderer because he was our president. i think the bias here shows quite clearly. of course this is like saying did not did too did not... neither he nor the usa are laughing stocks or targets in albania were bush was received as the greatest person ever to visit albania. albania is

theguy@whatever.net wrote think about what you just said. there is the problem. we all prefer a politician with values similar to our own. what you fail to realize is that this for many decades worked fairly well. the problem today is politicians campaign on a certain set of values. then once elected they toss those out the door. we no longer have politicians who stick with it. they stand for nothing in particular. i realize people all have different values. i guess my point is that when you elect someone today you have no idea what you will actually get. they just dont stand for anything. .

tbone wrote that was not a question miles it was a statement. sorry miles but it can be either. why should i is a question not a statement. what youre saying is that you asked the question but dont give a rats ass about any answer. no that would be you. but if you have a valid answer and i dont see one then feel free to say what it is ill listen. try to do something about this war but our president you referring to a horribly written bill that failed you referring to a horrible bill that included 20 billion $s in unrelated pork funny how as soon as the time limit was removed he signed it pork and all. it failed and was rewritten considerably better but the pork is still in there. even the dem congress wouldnt support it without that 20 billion in pork. thats what your dems care about. gotta have that pork. lol sorry to kill your spin miles but it would take more votes than the dems have to override the pinheads veto. you are also not making much sense. first you say that the dems dont support the pork and then you say that the dems just gotta have it. make up your mind already. i guess that they learned this trick from the reps who did it thru all of the clinton years. would rather get thousands of our troops killed than take responsibility for extending this war. i prefer to fight the likes of al queda and not return to the tactics of pre 9/11 as the dems wish us to do. the problem is that we are not doing that either. we are too busy wasting time and resources in iraq. they tried to bury 20 billion $s of unrelated pork spending in the recently failed war bills. please list them or provide a link that does. are you serious yes and as usual you are unable to provide it. are you telling me you have no idea what was in the dems failed war spending bill actually i expect this from you. you have never been one to look deep into any issues. just headline surface stuff for you but here you go even though youll discredit it without basis. $20 billion of unrelated pork in the dems war bill is fact. what is $74 million for peanut storage $25 million for spinach growers and $100 million for citrus growers etc. doing in a iraq spending bill anyways http//www.examiner.com/a-619204congressloadsup20billioninpork.html all i see here are headlines miles exactly what you are always whining about other people doing. where are the links explaining what these funds are actually doing and why they are not necessary. all i see are headlines and i would expect they were put into the war bill to get it passed as out current president only cares and gives money to those who need it the least. the reps were doing this all thru clintons terms and i didnt hear any complaints from you then. why is that miles -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote lol get real miles besides the obvious ones such as toyota and honda how many of these are actually manufacturing jobs and even with the ones that are not how many of these employees are hb1 employees and how many of these workers are simply displaced from other companies that have shut down or cut back due to these companies comming in perhaps you could explain why there are so many closed factories if the net insourcing exceeds outsourcing. then perhaps you could explain the economic sense of what you are saying. the fact remains that there are far more insourced jobs employing american workers at foreign owned subsidaries that outsourced. you fail to realize the numbers and argue without basis. because it is complete bs and makes no economic sense. another way around this is to redefine outsourced which seems to be what is being done. and these are just in california alone where they employ 714000 americans. fine miles now how about talking about the lost manufacturing jobs in new jersey new york pa ma nc and most of the east coast. did they all go to california. there are over 6.5 million insourced jobs in the usa. 714000 just in california alone. so no tom they didnt just all go to california. in reality people are moving out of california into az nv nm etc. fine miles but you still didnt expalin all of the empty factories. where exactly are all of these manufacturing jobs yes i do and despite your fuzzy math and time shifting far more manufacturing jobs have left the country. time shifting there are more jobs than just manufacturing. the problem miles is that manufacturing is where the money actually comes from. unless you are creating something all you are doing is shifting money around. however much is in manufacturing and plenty are in hi-tech jobs meaning not low paying as you have implied before. once again miles you are full of it. many low to mid level tech jobs have been outsourced as well ah the majority of manufacturing jobs. sure some of the really big stuff is still made here. too bad most of the parts to build them are coming from somewhere else outside of the us. please give me a list of high tech manufacturing that is completely made here in the us. where are just about all consumer electronics are built elsewhere. sorry miles but i know better than to fall for the right wing spin that you constantly drive home. i know far to many people that have lost their manufacturing jobs i see. you know a handful of people and thus you extrapolate that to the entire country as a way of proving more jobs are outsourced than insourced huh not really miles. i know many people in this situation and they know many. just look at the number of employees wall-mart has and then look up the average salary. then add in home depot lowes target k-mart sears and so many others like them and the average salary for their employees not to mention places like mc donnalds burger king and all of the other fast food places. these jobs used to be occupied by people as second jobs or the other half just bringing in vacation money but that is no longer the case. many of these workers are now depending on these shit holes for their primary income and health care. sorry miles but no matter how hard you try and spin it reality will not shange because you dont like what it has to say. the numbers i pulled are from readily available stats. then supply some links to show and educate us all. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

have the od on/off swirch reinstall f4jb9m$ql8$1@geraldo.cc.utexas.edu... hi folks- i recently bought a 93 dakota extended cab v6 4x4 auto to use as a work truck. needed new shocks in front and brakes which i put in without any trouble - its a nice roomy car to work on. otherwise its been pretty dependable engine-wise. its started developing an intermittent tranny problem though. when i got it on the highway after i bought it i noticed that it tended to shift down into third a lot when going up minor hills. now its started to not want ot go into fourth at all. ill get it every once in a while but mostly its driving in third. bad on gas mileage. the previous owner said he had the tranny rebuilt a year or so ago. i noticed that the transmission fluid level was very high so i pumped out a quart or so to get it into the right area on the dipstick. its made no difference. the button that should disable od is missing from the dash. the tranny shifts smoothly in every other gear and reverse. so any thoughts on what might be causing this ive read that the throttle position sensor can cause problems going into 4th gear. could this be the trouble for a 93 or maybe the speed sensor any procedure on how to test them first dodge - still learning my way around it. tia chris in the land of rust central ny .

tbone wrote no what im saying is that the dems have to play the game just like the reps. what a complete copout. youre telling me the dems wont take a hard stance and do what they said they would do and you blame it on the reps. good grief!! now youre making excuses for the dems failures. too funny. lol not true. you are the one spouting headlines with no substance to back any of it up. you keep screaming thatthey increased spending but have yet to say on what. they have only been on power for a few months and if the reps couldnt do it in over 12 years and seven with a republican president. why do you expect the dems to be able to do it in a few months. lets see what happens when they have power for a year and have time to correct what they feel the reps have done wrong. sure they will and look at what happens when they do. funny how you seem to forget how the reps kept changing the rules to stop it and even went so far at to threaten to eliminate the filibuster. you have a very selective memory miles. it is fascinating to watch how it twists and spins the truth. the dems tried the same exact thing several times so why do you praise them so really name what and when. oh ya you agree with their dirty tactics. the dems havent even made a stance. sure they did with the war budjet but your hero would rather lets thousands die then take responsibility for the mess he got us in and how long it will continue for. they said that first thing they would cut spending. instead the very first thing they did was put up increased spending bills and you defend their action. because you have yet to declare exactly what those increases are for and how they are not necessary. and the reps seemed to vote them in as well. exactly. that is what i said. both parties are horrible. quit defending the dems. they increase spending since taking control. it is no different than what you do miles. you make false claims against the reps but continue to stick with them. i guess its like having your cake and eating it to. too bad that cake has shit for icing. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote how about the senate miles. its a tie i believe. then you would believe wrong as a tied senate would belong to the reps. the dems control it by 1 seat and that is the slimest of margins. but the real thing to look at is the reps and dems voting record with regards to spending prior to and after their gaining control. prior to they voted right along with the reps and adding their own pork riders to bills just the same. and this was done for the same reason the reps do it. the reps created and passed a balanced budjet under clinton but did little to follow it. since the reps controlled both houses and the office of the president what real choice did the dems have. when they tried to stop things the correct way the reps kept changing the rules. after they increased spending bills not decreased. once again you do what you whine about what others do. you spout headlines with no substance to back them up. congress as a whole is a mess both reps and dems. the entire bunch is worthless and their plummeting approval rate says it all. its not a rep vs. dem issue. its a bunch of worthless politicians. on this we can agree but unless you are willing to separate yourself from the party line nothing is going to change and people like you never will. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote how stupid can you possibly be. yes its worth going but if the area is deadly and they dont have the equipment to deal with it then they should not go in. i see. on 9/11 nobody knew what the dangers were. weve never had a disaster such as this to even go by. so how long after the 9/11 attacks do you feel it would take to get all the studies done and proper procedures in place in order for the workers to go in delay days weeks months what tom once again miles when you are on the losing side of an argument you begin spinning in a rather ignorant way. it is getting sad to watch. since it was a disaster you would expect people to get there asap and that is exactly what happened. once you realize or even strongly suspect that the situation is bad for the rescue personnel you take whatever precautions that are necessary such as breathing equipment safety suits and warning the workers of the possible dangers. talking about studies being done first really shows just how ignorant and biased you really are. unbelievable you are sitting here saying the workers should have stayed away until sufficient information was gathered to know all the dangers and what equipment was needed and get all that together. within hours condi had a report showing both possible and likely dangers so dont give me this crap about gathering significant information taking to long and once the report was given it should have been distributed intact to the leaders of the rescue personnel not edited for content by someone who doesnt have a clue. im not talking about that miles and you know that. i was talking about sending our men and women to iraq with no real proof of anything. you brought up 9/11 emergency workers and rice hiding information that the area was dangerous. keep up with your own argument tom. geez. lol once again you attempt to use creative editing to back up a non-existant point. my point was that this administration declares many things as fact when in reality it ismt like the reasons for going to war in iraq but when it comes to saving american lives here the truth can simply be ignored such as the report edited by rice which lead to the injury of hundreds of rescue workers. they got there when they got there. the report came out in less than a day of the possible dangers and was altered to make the site look as safe as possible which any way you try and spin it was a fucking lie. the day old report was an idea and nothing more. bullshit miles. it was a compilation of probable conditions by scientists and people of knowledge based on what was known and expected to be in the building at the time. no data was collected analyzed and studied. once again incorrect. many of the materials in the building have been studied under fire conditions so the results were known or at a minimum expected. it was a comment about a possibility not proof as you seem to claim. there were people in the rubble. emergency crews are going to show up no matter what. once again miles it had nothing to do with it being either possibility or proof. it was the reputation of tha administration and nothing more. had that report came out intact people would be wondering why the required equipment to protect the rescue workers was not provided and the administration would have to answer for it and admit thast they were every bit as bad as they accused the left of being when it comes to dealing with terrorism or protecting the people from it. then when the people began to get sick from working for so long unprotected in hazzardous conditions that the administration was aware had a high likelyhood of existing they would be held accountable for that as well. people would also be demanding such equipment be made available for any future situations and that equipment is expensive especially with bogus taxcuts for the rich. then you would know that this is an old comment yes i know your use of foul language and name calling in an argument is old! once again you show your ignorance. how many people do you think were rescued miles what difference does that make there were several rescued on 9/11 both inside the towers before they fell and after from the rubble. what are you saying it was too few people to bother before the towers fell was not the issue. the report did not come out until after the towers fell and the likelihood of people surviving that was slim and only a few did. were their lives worth more than the hundreds that are now suffering from prolonged exposure to the toxic vapors and chemicals that the admin knew most likely existed and hid the knowledge of. more spin and complete bullshit. assessments are made on the spot and if information becomes available that things may be worse than they appear changes are made immediatly. that is true. the emergency crews did their own analys

i just thought id let you know what ive been reading into the crusader spam. i dont want to post this to usenet because somebody might try to tie that in to my posts in some way someone already has in uk.misc. first of all id like to ask you to believe that my phone line in my apartment is bugged and has been for many months. i have moved a couple of times this year but they have faithfully been on my trail. anyway lets suppose my phone line is bugged. now when i talk to my internet service provider its over a slip now ppp connection. so if you wanted to bug what was said either youd listen in over the line and have to decode the transmission or you could go to the service provider more difficult and ask them to decode a particular users connection. ok so now theyre listening to everything i do over my slip/ppp connection. a couple of months ago i was messing around with faking articles through nntp servers and through anonymous remailers. i chose a nice inconspicuous group for my little tests something no-one would ever notice. guess which group i chose yes fish!!! or rec.aquaria to be precise and guess what articles i tried to post goldfish koi carp and youll never guess... piranha!!! the goldfish article and the koi went through but the piranha didn;t appear. by now you probably think this is too silly for words. but if you look in the papers a few eeks ago you will find john major tonny blair and paddy ashdown sharing a private joke about majors sunburnt goldfish. we havent had anything about koi yet they must be too dull . now sent by someone who clearly knew what they were doing they chose an italian backbone site for their launch point we have many thousands of messages to people all over the globe. all about piranha and with the punchline that gives you something to think about doesnt it the way it works is that theyre trying to kill two birds with one stone again. i dont knoiw why they should be against these national alliance people but my interpretation is that they simultaneously try to discredit them and stem the flow of corley articles. ================================================================= mike corley bu765@torfree.net wrote john j smith j.j.smith@ftel.co.uk wrote b we do know who you are. or are you someone else we dont know about you are currently known as that bloody persistant net nutter whos expanding from uk.misc to the rest of the world. i think the point i was trying to make is that i could tell you things from my personal life at home and at work which would add credibility to my story. but if i named people then a they would object violently to being included in this shenanigans and b i would be revealing my identity which would be bad for my personal life and my work life. of course some people in my personal life and at work do know who mike corley is. but at least were observing a studied silence for now. people can always be called mr x to save them being named. im completely perplexed as to what you mean by b. revealing identity to who and why would this be bad for any part of your life when you already have a less than respectful reputation here ill just enumerate one or two things that i can still remember. sometime around august/sept 1992 i was living in a house in oxford and coming out of the house was physically attacked by someone - not punched just grabbed by the coat with some verbals thrown in for good measure. that was something the people at work shouldnt have known about... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of me about yeah i heard he was attacked. again one i went for a walk in some woods outside oxford. the next day at work someone said you know he went to the forest yesterday. i dont want to put details on usenet of what happened because to do so would be to risk it happening again. if you put ideas in peoples heads then you can find them reflecting back at you and i dont want that. also i cant remember that much from three years ago. from november 1992 i started taking major tranquilizers and just blotted the whole thing from my mind. this is a feature time and time again that the security services presumed get at you by manipulating other people around you to get at you. if you have their contacts manpower resources and technology then you can do that sort of thing. but why are you a threat they pretend they have to get at me. after the first few weeks they had to find a reason to spy and abuse. you cant abuse someone unless theyre in the wrong in some way. what i did wrong was to be ill. so it became nutter and monster and hes going to attack us coupled with ha ha ha he cant do anything to defend himself it was so funny. that obvious contradiction within their propaganda is something they blithely ignore. so the security services never *actually* appear and you assume that they get someone else to

tbone wrote you are kidding right!!!!! the problem is that she is directly responsible for the needless injuries and illness of so many rescue workers. the workers arrived on 9/11. should they not have bothered going how stupid can you possibly be. yes its worth going but if the area is deadly and they dont have the equipment to deal with it then they should not go in. if they decide to do it anyway they at least need to be informed of the dangers and if they are allowed to attempt it then thise giving them the authorization knowing the dangers should be held responsible for the outcome. you really do sound like an idiot. is this really how limited the intelligence of the right has become if you are going to send people into a situation where they might be hurt or killed then you had better damn sure have positive proof that the reason you are sending them in is valid several large buildings collapsing is a valid reason for sending emergency workers. im not talking about that miles and you know that. i was talking about sending our men and women to iraq with no real proof of anything. condition of the site that should have been reveled and used the excuse that they didnt have positive proof they did not have positive proof. they didnt have positive proof about iraq and yet away we went. there were workers already there. so tell me tom when should the workers have arrived 9/11 9/12 oct nov when tom they got there when they got there. the report came out in less than a day of the possible dangers and was altered to make the site look as safe as possible which any way you try and spin it was a fucking lie. they were there for weeks with no protection from what proved to be a very real hazzard. you dumb fucking asshole here we go with the typical liberal foul mouthed tantrum! too funny. lol perhaps you need to read thread following 101 for dummies. then you would know that this is an old comment although you have more than shown its validity. the only thing funny is how you call just about anyone tha disagrees with your viewpoint a liberal as if being that is a bad thing anymore. no tom. you are a radical liberal but are afraid to admit who and what you are. yes i know liberal is a bad word and you hate to associate yourself! hahahahahahaha you have no clue as to what you are talking about but with your extreme right wing bias i can see why you might think this. administration look good by getting the rescue workers there immediately planes hit two buildings several buildings collapse and thats not justification for sending in emergency crews. liberalism at its finest!! once you see that sending them there will get them killed or the conditions are much worse than initially assumed then you make adjustments to protect them. instead this lying bitch hid the truth which will cost many of them there lives. not without the proper equipment and minimally they should have been told of the dangers once they were suspected. tell that to the people who were rescued on 9/11 and the days that followed. unbelievable! just leave those people to die huh how many people do you think were rescued miles how many now have their lives destroyed please explain to me how the lives of the ones in the towers are worth more than those of the rescuers only a retard could come up with spin so lame. once the dangers were suspected proper precautions and equipment should have been provided to protect those workers and not only was that not done all mention of these dangers was removed from the reports so they had no idea. the fire and emergency teams conducted their own studies tom and made adjustements they deemed necessary!! however by then they had already been on the site for a considerable amount of time. ya i know they should have delayed going to the site until oct. when the first studies were released. more spin and complete bullshit. assessments are made on the spot and if information becomes available that things may be worse than they appear changes are made immediatly. information was hidden from those that need to make those decisions and those lies have and will lead to many more deaths than the number of people that were saved and nobody is willing to take responsibility for it. how republican. no but are you gonna tell the many rescue workers that are now sick and probably dying that the administrations reputation was worth more than their lives those rescue workers put their lives on the line daily as part of their job. with an event like 9/11 they will be there even if the report came out 1 minute after the attacks saying the site is a dangerous toxic place. they would go anyways. then there was no reason to remove the warnings from the report so why did she do it. a lie by ommission is still a lie. i guess that you feel th

tbone wrote lol more half truths. sure the dems voted for some of the reps bs and usually because they had no choice. if they always voted everything down do you think that they would have even a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything done i see. so what you are saying is that the dems have no balls! they wont take a stance. just all talk. now that they gained control take a look at spending since. they dems have increased it through their own initiative spending bills. ya its the reps fault the dems are all talk and no action. just the facts and solid reasons why it was not necessary. you already qualified your defense of any spending i may list. why it was not necessary to you liberals anything you do was necessary. the fact is the dems said they would start by immedietly issuing spending reduction legislature. they have failed to live up to those words. pelosi is bser. the dems did not start out with spending cut legislature. they went in immediately with higher spending bills than prior. they took a bad situation and made it worse and you defend them. .

tbone wrote do you have any idea just how ignorant you sound. while i agree congress is also to blame who has been in control of it for the last 10 years the dems voting record speaks for itself. most of the spending votes was not 100% reps to 0% dems. it was very much a joint effort. lol more half truths. sure the dems voted for some of the reps bs and usually because they had no choice. if they always voted everything down do you think that they would have even a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything done or getting the reps to vote for anything of theirs. this is politics miles like it or not. the dems said they would correct that once they took control. they have done nothing of the sort. they have created even more spending bills themselves. i agree the reps have been awful but the dems are not the solution. they are even a bigger problem when it comes to spending. more half truths and complete bs. exactly what spending are they doing and dont give me the right wing headline crap that you complain to me about doing. just the facts and solid reasons why it was not necessary. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

diamond dave wrote as a percentage of gdp the national debt is running about the same as it has for 30 or more years. http//www.heritage.org/research/budget/bg1820.cfm that is true. as a % of gdp its actually just slightly lower than during the 90s. that means there has been significant economic growth. the problem is that everyone talks about run away spending. but people completely disagree on what areas should be cut. no matter anyone suggests large cuts be made its going to hurt someone. there will never be consensus on where to cut. there never has been and therein lies the problem. people are ok to cut from someone else but never themselves. .

same reasons the usa did. its a poorly written pile of trash. how much then still having trouble with that simple question youre still having trouble with how much debt is yourself and youre asking me you keep referring to bush spending 9 trillion he didnt have. dont imply something that you have no clue about. educate yourself on the matter then get back to me with an informed question. bull fucking shit. they republicans and their values have you snowed. oh geez. typical liberal use of foul language when they are clueless. bush cant spend money. that was your statement. dont change it to republicans when you said bush. typical clueless bush bashing. educate yourself and make informed statements! some peoples kids. all spending bills created by republicans were signed off by bush. and voted on by the vast majority of democrats. a fact you seem to be uninterested in. you dont know nor care what the voting records of democrats has been. why not question. most of those bills were created by the congress at bushs bidding especially concerning the war. pork was added and boom! yes pork was often added by dems and they voted for most of the spending bills you have trouble with. the dems never took a stance against any spending. they wanted even more and since taking control their voting has proven this point. i never said it wasnt important. its those good ole republican values im taking issue with. 9 trillion dollars spent that we dont have is not conservative and it certainly isnt a value id teach to my kid. here you go again with this 9 trillion figure put all onto reps. got for you. that 9 trillion is over quite a number of decades with most of those decades being with a dem controlled congress. no worse than you side stepping tough questions about the guy you voted for and throwing out red herring arguments about other politicians. tough questions you fail to ask informed educated questions. you seem to think congress was dem controlled during clintons years and you seem to think bush or the reps spent 9 trillion in the last 7 years. its impossible to debate with someone who is so non-politically educated. that makes two of us. only i was never snowed by their promises of good values. you were. nope. i havent like the republican party for quite some time. they left their conservative values many years ago. the difference between you and i is that i dont view the dems as being the solution. none yet unless you consider the iraq spending bill. you mean the one that the dems added $20 billion in unrelated pork spending ya dems are trying to cut spending huh bull. dems wanted to put a time limit on bringing troops home. you cant tell the enemy when you are going home. that is just plain absurd. what the dems need to do is come up with a solid plan for dealing with terrorism rather than just use iraq as an excuse for not doing so at all. if they wish to end the war in iraq then they need to come up with a better plan for fighting terrorism. so far their only plan is to return us to the days where terrorism was dealt with as a police type action. no thanks. part of the reasoning in doing that was so that we could quit spending money on a failed war. the sad part is they gave in and porked it up. unacceptable. the dems added massive pork to attract votes from dems to try to get it passed. even dems wouldnt approve it without the pork. well gosh then makes bush as bad as ... i cant think of anyone that bad. can you clinton. yes we didnt have iraq but we also didnt have 9/11 to deal with. he was at war with iraq as well but that seems to be ok with you. not at all. clintons plan to pay down the national debt was a start in the right direction. it included input by republicans. for that i am pleased. input the republicans controlled congress. they are the ones that created the very bills you so praise. i do think they could have done better but at least there was movement in the right direction. the debt increased every year clinton was in office. not one bit was payed down as you seem to state. all bush had to do was continue following the plan. but no ... first thing tax cuts. when the economy is going down fast the worst thing for it is to hold taxes high. the economic growth following the tax cuts resulted in far more tax revenues being collected. a fact you cant seem to understand and think revenues follow tax rates. you still have not given me any valid numbers. you still havent based your question on valid facts. you keep stating bush spent 9 trillion and you tried to state that clinton and his dem controlled congress had it right. percentage of gdp is not an ethical way to look at it. bull. making $1000/yr and have $900 in debt is far worse than earning $100000 and having $10000 in debt. gdp is the economy and

sounds like your exhaust to me . might be a loose exhaust hanger or something. i could be wrong though. hello long time lurker/leaver/justcame back for help recently when i start my truck 2000 1500 4x4 i get this rattle in the i think transmission about 5 seconds after i start the truck and then it goes away after 3 seconds. i makes this noise no matter if it is in park reverse moving forward etc. just when i first start it. i fell no performance issues it shifts fine drives fine just a loud rattle when starting up then it smooths out. the only time i can make the sound change is if i change the shifter for the 4x4 but it still does not go completely away. if i rev the engine at first start it waits untli the rps drop back down and then it does the rattle. any clues thanks .

yes i accidentally found out today it was definately coming from the exaust somehwere. was cleaning the chrome pipes and i heard the rattle. maybe not the cat but somewhere along that line. i think when 4wd was engaged the vibration was just different so it did not rattle as much. thanks! if the noise alters with the 4wd lever check the linkage to the transfer case. otherwise my first thought is also the cat converter shield or the cat itself. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author hello long time lurker/leaver/justcame back for help recently when i start my truck 2000 1500 4x4 i get this rattle in the i think transmission about 5 seconds after i start the truck and then it goes away after 3 seconds. i makes this noise no matter if it is in park reverse moving forward etc. just when i first start it. i fell no performance issues it shifts fine drives fine just a loud rattle when starting up then it smooths out. the only time i can make the sound change is if i change the shifter for the 4x4 but it still does not go completely away. if i rev the engine at first start it waits untli the rps drop back down and then it does the rattle. any clues thanks .

tbone wrote rudy will not or at least should not get any support from the religious right both for his stance on abortion and because he was cheating on his wife and without that.... cheated well technically i suppose since he was still married. i thought they had been seperated at the time. nope he separated after it became public knowledge. plus rudys relations with the other woman were hardly secret. he didnt hide a thing. not after he got caught red handed but that is not the point. it still shows him to be a man of not very high moral values. rudy will appear to many moderates from both parties. honestly i dont think any of the current candidates are worth a crap including rudy. you are probably right and what we need is a smart moderate from either side to balance the country out and bring the parties back together in some fashion. they are so far apart now with the current admin that we are a divided nation and that makes us weak and it is hard to defend against just about anything when we are like this. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote while i agree that it may be a lousy election what exactly are you looking for when you say nobody has stepped up as a leader. the current idiot did just that and look where we are now. this is not an attack but an honest question what exactly are you looking for depends on the issue you are referring to. youre issue with bush is pretty much just one issue. that would be as usual for you incorrect. i have many issues with bush such as his horrible foreigh policy his total disregard for enviornmental issues his invalid tax cuts that have done damn near next to nothing for the middle class except raise their cost of living as well as the war that never should have happened. bush has never been a leader on anything else. then why did you re-elect him. you are hear whining about leadership and yet you re-elect an non leader. with regards to immigration there isnt a single politician from both sides that has really stepped up as a leader. theyre all pandering for votes. luckily the fact that almost 80% of voters were against this latest bill it looks like its going down in flames. do you really think that it wasnt planned to happen that way they know that there is no low cost way to fix this and
