So, you know the numbers, you also must know the language.
(a) Authorization.--The President is authorized to use the Armed
Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and
appropriate
It wasn't a vote "for the war" (maybe you're enough of a simpleton to see it that way), but an authorization for the President to use the armed forces based on his judgement, assuming he has any (that was the biggest mistake right there).

Public is unhappy about this war.
Democrats ain't running this war.
Those running this war will be held accountable no matter what the right's spin guys try to pin on the minority party.
I'll be damned if I expect an election day reprisal. I watched the last two major elections get fumbled away by folks who were given AMPLE scoring opportunites.

Bush & Co. have called every shot and completely screwed the pooch from day one on this.
Since many of the Dems voted to give the President the authority to conduct this operation, it's their fault, and they should be held accountable for not realizing from the beginning the the entire administration was a bunch of fucked up morons. Said fucked up morons, since none of it was their fault, can't be held resonsible.

No, I wasn't concentrating on bumper stickers. Please read further...I mentioned rhetoric too. But that's ok....you must have missed that. I guess I was speaking in generalities in that it seems like the Dems have been overrun with the "F*** Bush....after that, I don't know" crowd. That's just the national vibe I get. And no, I'm not going to go digging for Joe Biden's or Al Gore's or Hillary Clinton's proposals (props for not being as lazy as me). I'll trust you that they're out there but I watch a lot of news and just don't see too many alternative ideas proposed by the Dems/left.
You are correct in that many are unhappy about the war and that the Dems aren't running it so therefore, those in charge will be held accountable. In 2004, the presidential was essentially gift wrapped for the Dems. And they lost. Ditto the situation for 2008. It's theirs for the taking and this should be a lay-up. Question is, can they trot out a candidate with a pulse? Gore? Kerry? Now Howard Dean's running the show? Good luck with all that.....

Nice to have further proof that you're completely indoctrinated.
Always nice to see a lockstep partisan fuck refer to someone else as "completely indoctrinated." Mirror check needed some?
RACK PSU and Mustang for the solid takes. It's not that Democrats are incapable of winning a legislative majority or the Presidency, the question is can they raise the level of their game when it counts or will they continue to be the Peyton Manning of politics as they have been since 2000 or so.

I criticized them plenty during the election. What's to criticize now? They've been completely locked out for six years.
Everything, good or bad, that any branch of the federal government has done since 2000 has been 100% Republican driven.
You did know that, didn't you?

You want me to criticize a Democrat? OK here goes...
I think Phil Angelides is an asshole. After the way he and Westley ran their primary I don't think I could vote for either one of them.
Luckily, I'm liking Ahnold more and more. I still think he's been pretty disingenuous regarding his finincial ties to big business and "special interests" but I think he has good intentions and he's learning to be his own man. At this point I (shudder) will probably vote Republican in the CA Governator election.
Please don't tell my wife.
(of course most of the Republicans now think of him as a RINO, but that's their problem)
With oil inventories high, refiners that turn oil into gasoline are expected to cut production. As refiners cut production, oil companies increasingly risk getting stuck with excess oil supplies. There's already anecdotal evidence of oil companies chartering tankers to store excess oil.
Remember Dick Cheney's claim that the reason for high gas prices was because there weren't enough refineries? He pinned the blame on pesky liberals and environmental laws.
This is the same asshole that sat down with execs from Big Oil behind closed doors to formulate our national energy policy.

Back to our favourite topicmvnumbskull:
Today, the prosecutor is leaving the door open to the possibility that the vice president's now-indicted former chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, was acting at his boss' behest when Libby allegedly leaked information about Plame to reporters.

All our trouble might be over if we could just get Cheney to take Iraq on a hunting trip.
Chevron's headquarters is 100 miles from here and we still pay slightly under $3/gallon.
I would love to see that ex Exxon CEO get beheaded by one of those hell-bound muzzies. The irony would be epic 'bode shit.

Fuck those guys on both sides of hell's entrance... ours and theirs. Bon Scott is prolly sitting on a hot rock with a bottle of booze to point them to the fire pit of choice.
$3 for a gallon of fucking gas still???? Fuck you mother fuckers in office for letting these ass bandits to get away with this shit for at least 2 years.
Too bad the Demos don't have any solutions in place so I could vote for them. Nope, they have bullshit commercials about the Governator being aligned with Bush. That's all they have. I guess we'll get more Repubs in until you fucking tree hugging, dope smokin' hipies send up credible candidates.
Until then you fucked up liberal wanks... get your own party in gear and come up with solutions and quit being whiney bitches.
It's still almost $3 a gallon here and I live in a Democrap state. You fucking libs going to blame Arnold for this? Go to Iraq and get beheaded you fucking dumbfucks that buy that shit.

:whatever:
Gas prices have dropped. Too bad all those vendors that sent us "considering the high price of gas" letters to justify their price hikes haven't dropped prices, as well.
Suddenly, almost overnight, the lack of refineries, the glut of environmental laws, the surge in demand from China, the threat of hurricaines, the heartbreak of psoriasis, and all the other bullshite "market force" excuses don't hold water anymore and gas prices are magically on the plunge.
Meanwhile, Bush's poll numbers are creeping up, consumer confidence is rising, and elections are looming.
Pay no attention to the Republicans and the Oil companies behind the curtain.

I who works for a company who supplies workers offshore to the gulf rigs and can say that business has been up strong lately meaning that all of those rigs fucked up by last years storms are getting back on line. Prices are inevitabley coming down.
No hurricanes here yet mean prices going down. Read into it all you want. We've even discovered the largest reserve in the gulf in 40 years.
Quit bitching. Your gas prices will be going down...
