    I'm starting to believe you're right as I watch this drama unfold before my eyes...

    Sure OR, the bad loans were the only thing that tanked the economy. There was no other contributing factors...

    Even if that is true, why didn't our Republican president sound the alarm or do something prior to Hank asking for $700 Billion? That was being responsible...

    The OP states (emphasis added):

    Derailing?

    Patience getting thin, CTB?

    What? No apology?

    Seems like fair game to me..... T/Y Sag...for your input!

    I think obamas done enough about abortion, he's made it worse by allowing babies to be stabbed in the head with scissors.

    Well, Ctb, they probably feel that they have no choice as some conservatives are trying to defend the undefensible - torture.

    We do not all agree that this particular form of waterboarding is torture.

    Not all Christians agree that God is three Persons in One. That doesn't change the fact that God is three Persons in One.

    Refusing to admit that waterboarding is torture doesn't change the fact that it is.

    So then this particular form of waterboarding is torture is doctrine to you?

    If only a few drops of water had been used instead of a few cups would it still be torture?

    If you say "yes" then it is obvious that you are not engaging your mind but are only controlled by your political leanings.

    If you say "no" then you need to tell me where the line is between a few drops of water and a few cups of water.

    If you can not draw that line with any degree of certainty and with stated reasons for where you draw that line - then you can not say that this particular form of waterboarding is torture.

    Who is defending torture?

    Speak for yourself KenH "I'll vote for Ron Paul.....no..... make that I'll vote for the socialist, anti-constitutionalist, we'll fund all your needs.....even abortion, and permit late term abortions and live babies to die, Obama, who will make volunteers mandatory, and insist that doctors and nurses train and perform abortions or their funding for school or pre-natal services and delivery will be cut off..... ......Hey, you know...... everything against what Ron Paul stood for."

    If sissors tearing into the back of a babies skull isn't torture.... or tearing a baby into pieces, limb by limb through the opening in the womb..... isn't torture......

    And you voted for this mamouth....... Then there is no description which you can impress me with which come close to being torture as I've yet to hear.

    I don't understand the emotional level of concern over alleged torture of a few thugs and the callus denial behind the attrocties of abortion.

    BTW: LB, just saying something is legal doesn't make it right nor is it a defense for supporting it....... that goes for abortion and it also goes for abuse and torture.

    BTW: I voted for Chuck Baldwin!

    1) It is murder.

    2) I would like to see anyone who performs an abortion to be tried for murder.

    I am also opposed to human cloining, embryonic stem cell research, and in vitro fertilization(if more than one baby is created).

    Your statement reminds me of centuries ago and witch trials - if the woman sank and drowned in a pool of water then she wasn't guilty of witchcraft...if she floated and didn't sink and drown then she was guilty of witchcraft.

    I can't help but notice that you didn't even try to answer the questions - so here it is again.


    If only a few drops of water had been used instead of a few cups would it still be torture?

    If you say "no" then where the line is between a few drops of water and a few cups of water.

    You are wrong again LB. Waterboarding was supported by the legal authorities in the Bush administration. Waterboarding is illegal to those radical leftists who are also rabid abortionists like "bho" and I must assume those who supported him.

    Why not pick on the new Attorney General who was part of the Clinton administration who simply sent people over to Egypt or Jordan for questioning.

    1. Is pulling a baby from its mother's womb and stabbibg it in the neck torture?

    2. Is dismembering a baby in its mothers womb torture?

    3. Is scalding a baby in its mothers womb torture?

    4. Is allowing a baby born alive to die by neglect torture?

    The hypocrisy of those who whine and cry about the water boarding of three terrorists to save an untold [because "bho" won't release the info] number of lives while supporting the continuation of the above torture of the unborn is disgusting and a poor example of following Jesus Christ.

    So? Abortion is supported by the legal authorities on the U.S. Supreme Court. Does that make abortion right?
