gee - and all this time I thought the economy went through an incredible boom at that time

unlike now, when the boom you hear is the economy crashing

(and it's not specious - it's absolutely true.)

No. I think you clearly lose on that one.
I'm a military family and we certainly don't and I don't know of any in the military that do.

Off to Camp Lejune this weekend.

What are you doing to support the troops and the mission?

Your lack of knowledge could fill volumes of libraries ...
The polls I quoted previous are real.
Your ignorance is not counter-proof.

Post them again with links to the actual questions. When was the last tiime you were on a military base to see first hand what the support is or isn't?

What have YOU done to support the effort and our success?

The polls speak to a reality you obviously do not know about.
If you not knowing offends you, then maybe you should take it upon yourself to correct that situation.

No.
I've already posted them, and I saw what feeble response you gave last time.
You are more than happy to comment on WHAT IS ALREADY THERE.
I'm not going to jump through any hoops just because you're lazy...

You'll note NO answers to this question.
One of the really annoying things about this "war" is how the president has "deceived" the nation by REFUSING to place the burden for PAYING for the war at the feet of the American people.
Cause they know that if they WERE to do that, the repercussions would be huge.
Repercussions (politically) on a lemon war with a huge price tag that we were lied to about.

I want an HONEST answer from some of the die-hard Republicans around here as to why Bush has NOT put more of the war effort cost upon the American tax-payer.
The thing they refuse to address over and over again is the question of whether or not it is WORTH it...

What's really lame about this argument that falsely pretends there is a "liberal change" is that the White House administration KNEW THE TRUTH.
They KNEW that they could NOT tell us the truth about what this war would be like, cause otherwise we WOULD NOT GO ALONG WITH IT.

THAT is why they hyped the claims on "WMDs" and "al Qaeda" connections, cause they knew if they went with the "let's liberate Iraqis for $1-2 trillion" argument, IT WOULD HAVE FAILED.

And to claim that a "$1-2 trillion" price tag is about GREED??????

I would find it hilarious if you were in a position of giving McCain's speaking points, cause you would THEN get to see exactly how fast his popularity would plummet if he tried saying junk like this!
