He was once someone I respected until the Bush mob got hold of his brain. Obama should kick him to the curb.

I'm not sure they (Gingrich et al) ever really got a hold of him. Why do you say "Obama should kick him to the curb" ? I've never heard that phrase before.

harveyc · 10-22-2008, 01:16 AM

"Kick him to the curb"??? Sounds like something an intolerant idiot would do!

momoese · 10-22-2008, 09:10 AM

It's a slang phrase meaning to disown. or get rid of.

momoese · 10-22-2008, 09:29 AM

Sorry Richard, I guess i should answer your question. Everyone thinks he's so patriotic but in reality he nothing but a liar who helped Bush to lead us to war. I'll never forgive him for that.

harveyc · 10-22-2008, 09:30 AM

I see that it's an urban term, apparently:
Urban Dictionary: kick him to the curb

Also, regarding such lies, there's plenty of other directions fingers should also be pointed.

Harvey, you come to expect some people to lie, but this was huge let down for me when he did.

It would be o.k. with me if you didn't exaggerate quite so much!

It might have been a widely held belief, or at least a stereotype presented on TV news programs. Certainly there was widespread respect for the man, and I think there still is.

I can empathize with your unwillingness to forgive him. I have seen evidence of serious personal remorse on his part, so I really in a way feel sorry that he made such a grave mistake. I don't feel any rejection towards him.

However, I think you give G.W. Bush too much credit by saying he "lead us to war". I don't believe he has ever had the money or the clout to run his own office! Instead, he had to do the bidding of the GOP central committee, which is basically owned by N. Gingrich.

I wonder if anybody can get to these positions of power without lying. Part of it is our own fault, I suppose, as we want to be told things we want to hear. Who would accept a leader saying "I have no idea."? Clinton appointed the CIA Director (name escapes me now) and I guess Bush thought he was good enough to keep in place. I wonder if we should subject them to public interrogation.....

Good observation.

Once again, you must consider the source of the article. Truthdig.com is a collection of far left-wing liberals, and they admit this in the "about us" section of the website (when they say the code word for liberal - "a progressive point of view").

Is this information on an impartial, non-partisan website with at least some shred of credibility, or just on this one?

momoese · 10-22-2008, 01:53 PM

I can post plenty of non partisan links showing he lied. It just happened to be the one I was reading when I thought I'd share my sadness over the matter, but the source in this case does not discredit the info.

Also I have no issue using either word. I like them both.

I just want to edit this post to remind you that this article is from a liberal website speaking out against the lies of Colin Powell back when he first admitted to them. For all I know they probably support him now seeing how he endorses Obama. You see I'm not posting this article because it supports the liberal agenda, actually just the opposite. I'm being completely non partisan here in telling you I have issues with Colin Powell. Ok, I think that should clarify things for you.

I really don't like how the word "progressive" was hijacked in the previous decade by clearly non-progressive individuals.

In the late 1980's powers-that-be in the GOP party began a campaign of divisiveness, over-generalization, and often misleading hype -- which still continues today. In response to this, the organization MoveOn.org took up the same tactics, equally repulsive. Somewhere along the line folks in MoveOn started calling themselves progressive -- which they are not. However, the word has now become associated with them and has lost its original meaning.

damaclese · 10-23-2008, 07:31 AM

this is all so not a revaluation at this point in time!!!!!!!!!!!!

there not going to do a Damn thing about it Bush is going to retie on a big fat presidential pension and will go down in history as an ideate but hes leafing all the way to the bank and the worst part is he thinks hes right!
and with the economy so bad its the perfect way to distract every one form doing any thing about it RIGHT!? if iv learned any thing in my life is that bad people do always get theirs in the end it may not be what i or you think is a comupins but its what the Universe thinks should happen maybe under a new administration they will focus for the first time in decades on what the real problems of are Nation are and we can move on to a better place. perhaps a state of grace hmmmm what a thought!

modenacart · 10-23-2008, 05:59 PM

The economy is not his fault, its failed Bill Clinton housing policy. Bush tried to get congress to investigate FannieMae and FreddiMac back in 2001. Nobody would listen to him.

momoese · 10-23-2008, 07:13 PM

Bush also pushed for loans for low income people. I don't hear many GOP'ers fessing up about that though.
