		<description>NDT, I think there&#039;s a bigger picture. For every dollar spent on welfare, only about 27 cents actually reaches the recipient. The rest is swallowed by the bureaucracy.

Bureaucracies are staffed with government workers, most of whom are too incompetent to be employed in the private sector, and many if not most are unionized. Whenever the socialists take over a segment of the economy, they get a new voting bloc and new union dues paying members. The primary function of unions these days is to launder contributions, voluntary and otherwise, to the Democrat party.

Which is a big reason why they are so greedily eying health care. 1/7 of the national economy. Also a big reason you don&#039;t see the socialists pushing for tort reform, no matter how much the trial bar rips off its victims. Those huge donations to the DNC are protection money.

They claim the Bushes are a crime family, but no one has ever devised a better protection racket and extortion scheme than the Democratic party.</description>

		<description>The reason why is simple, V the K; economic independence means that you can vote against them.

Democrats support welfare programs because they know that, given the choice between working and not working, people will choose the latter -- and doing so, they then are enslaved to the government and helpless. The Dems state bluntly, &quot;Elect us, or you won&#039;t get any welfare; you&#039;ll have to get a job and work&quot;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with you, Pete. The condescending treatment of the left toward our soldiers is insulting. If they&#039;re not helpless children, then they&#039;re depraved rapists (as Brian de Palma tries to resuscitate his career with a soldier bashing film the Hollywood crowd coos over.)

But, truth to tell, the left treats everybody as children. The S-CHIP expansion being pushed in congress would define people as children up to the age of 25. WTF?

It begs the question of whether lefties project their stunted emotional development onto everybody else.

The socialists say, &quot;It takes a village to raise a child.&quot; In their mind, the village is Washington, the child is you.</description>

		<description>#11 - Well put, Shawmut.  And what really freaks out the MSM and the libtards is that the troops believe in their Commander-in-Chief, who is much more respected by them than his predecessor.

The fact that the President visited Anbar, and the additional fact that he received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from our fighting men, triggered the usual hysterical rage from the libtard left. They prefer to consider the American soldier a victim and a child. The fact that these children/victims have had the audacity to bring Iraq back from the brink of disaster is bad enough. The additional fact that they seem to like their Commander-in-Chief is almost too much to bear for the libtards.

Simply put, the libtards will be hard-pressed to find any way to dispute the amazing progress in Iraq. If the Dhimmicrats are smart (big assumption), they will stop trying. Look for their rhetoric to change from “It’s a disaster – bring the children home” to “The mission is almost accomplished – bring the children home.”

And that is why Bush&#039;s call for &quot;possible troop reduction&quot; is being met with additional howls by Those Who Must Not Be Named.

Peter H.</description>

		<description>Funny to see Katie, with all the fuss and ado, making a &#039;guest appearance&#039; in Iraq, upstaged by The President who just plain believes, and shows he believes, that it is just part of his job.
And those troops know the difference.
Gaawwd, I feel good to see that!</description>

&lt;i&gt;Now, if only Katie could slip on-air during her broadcast…&lt;/i&gt;

She did when she read a WSJ Op-Ed as her own. But the liberals circled the wagons around the plaigerist and few noticed.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;...and No corporation left behind were no small matters that defined the failing of our president for millions of people...&lt;/i&gt;

Ummmm....Who wrote the legislation?? And it still beats the hell out of the liberal policy of No Child&#039;s Behind Left Untouched.

&lt;i&gt;(oh heck, let’s throw in that hair-brained senior prescription plan for good measure). &lt;/i&gt;

You mean the one the liberals want to &quot;negotiate prices&quot; (read: gut) so that medications that seniors need are stripped from the formulary? The one that enjoys 80%+ approval from seniors? The one that veterans are switching to so the medications they need are covered as opposed to the VA?

That&#039;s the &quot;hair-brained senior prescription plan&quot; you&#039;re talking about, right?

&lt;i&gt;You all wonder why there is so much Bush-hatred going around (including the ever growing numbers in the Republican party).&lt;/i&gt;

Such as.....???</description>

		<description>Schadenfreude indeed, and to think it happened right here, in the socialist Republic of Santa Monica CA.
Meanwhile, I must say that watching our President, with the cheering and whooping men and women in uniform made my heart sing.</description>

		<description>Piers Plowman responds:&quot;..... as I ordered my &#039;special assistant&#039; to make a mad wheeled dash to the lift.&quot;

&quot;Ordered&quot;! Such a benign and expressive word denoting grace and humility. How does one get a job as Mr. Plowman&#039;s special assistant? It would be so rewarding to be his dog yearning for an organ rupturing kick from the master.</description>

		<description>#2 - Kevin, there is a difference between disliking a person&#039;s policies and out-and-out incoherent vitriol that takes the form of a derangement syndrome.  I suggest you reconcile the two before making an assertion like the one you did above.

And for the record, I can&#039;t think of a single conservative who has flung a quarter of the excrement towards a polarizing Dem like Obama or Hillary that has been flung at the President.  If you can name at least one, let me know.

Regards,
Peter H.</description>

		<description>Revenge is a dish best served cold!  As I always say, what goes around comes around.  Now, if only Katie could slip on-air during her broadcast...

Look at some of the pics at how proud our soldiers are to be posing with their Commander-in-Chief.  No matter how many times W has made me mad with his hare-brained schemes (No Child Left Behind, Immigration et al), he still makes me proud.

Rock on, Mr. Prez!
