Don't like the man? That's cool. Anybody don't like you? Probably. That's cool.

So what's your point?

DWI is a serious offense. Perjury is a serious offense...in fact, it is a felony. W's predecessor lost his law license due to his inability to tell the truth. Maybe W lied too..any court going to press the matter? Doubt it. Get over it.....

21% of Americans describe themselves as "liberal", 34% of Americans describe themselves as "conservative". The rest are somewhere in between. This is why most states are controlled by "conservatives". This is why most governors are "conservative", otherwise they would not be "governor"....see Georgia where the incumbent Democratic governor Roy Barnes outspent his totally unknown Republican challenger Sonny Perdue by over four to one and LOST. Georgians simply did NOT want a Democratic governor regardless of his competance or track record.

Most state senators are Republican.

Most state representatives are Republican.

Most US senators are Republican.

Most US representatives are Republican.

You got a problem with this? Move to Cuba.

Anon 3553 -- Barnes lost Georgia by a small margin mainly because of the Confederate flag issue. The old state flag of the State of Georgia was predominantly the Confederate battle flag (old Stars and Bars). It was adopted in 1956 as an "F-U" during the first stages of the civil rights movement. Barnes changed this with the full backing of most of Georgia industry and civic leaders. This really pissed off about 10% of the state. Sonny Perdue promised to let the people vote to bring back the old flag. This promise basically won him the state. He then, after the election, reneged on his promise and did not give the option to bring back the old flag. Rather we have a new one (3d flag in 5 years) that strongly resembles the pre-1956 state flag.

To say that Barnes lost because the people of Georgia do not want a Democrat is just stupid. The people of Georgia have not changed much in the past 20 years and they had elected Barnes only 7 years ago and an uninterrupted string of Democrats for 130 years before that. The next governor will probably go back to Democrat.

Do not make the mistake of confusing Georgia Democrat with national Democrat or making untrue blanket statements based on your political wishings. And do not speak of that which you do not know.

Terrorists are so afraid of Bush they keep right on blowing shit up as if Bush was not a threat to them at all.

Yes,your right Beast.What you are not thinking about is where they are blowing stuff up,over there.It will not take long for the people over there to tire of this and respond by drawing lines between them and the terrorist.As long as we are not being hit with attacks I have to count it a plus from the fear after 9-11.Osama talked of many attacks to follow but it never came to pass.By the way hes dead if you didnt allready know that.Nobody is even trying to say hes alive anymore,most of you just accept it because it fits your agenda but not common sense.First the man is palistinian which makes his statements about Bush seem fabricated anyway.Its not like the prime minister from one of our allies said this.Alot of Christians interpret Christ as their conscience,if by chance he was missinterpreted as being led by his conscience I would understand and not think it crazy in the least bit.Even non-christian people have a conscience so you just have a lack of understanding and Im not mad.You do have alot more work to do because you have to get everything that Bush has said to the head of Iran,N.Korea,China,Somalia and some other countries that hate the U.S. before your job is done.

"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious... they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." -- Aristotle

John Stone has a good point. Anybody with some basic reasoning skills would have already debunked that "I'm on gods' side" BS. And DID YOU READ ANY, ANY OF THE PATRIOT ACT? Didn't think so.

Hitler worked for god and country too.

I can't REALLY belive Bush said that. That is INSANE!!! FOR SHURE, WE ARE ALL DOOMED IF CHRISTIANS MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE U.S. That's just like the "44 killer" in the US in '78 saying that some 2000 year old dog told him to kill.

If the BBC is more credible than any US news agency, that doesn't say much for the US agencies, Beast. The BBC is frighteningly biased towards the left - so much so that stories critical of the left are often unreported by them...but that's what you want, of course and you're only hearing what you want to hear. ITN presents a much more balanced view in the UK.

The BBC is biased ? Hahahahahaha. You mean the BBC doesn't have their stories fed to them by government.

The american media is so concerned that they will be shut out of presidential, centcom, and governmental briefings that they report exactly what is said by government officials verbatim as if everything were true and did not need to be checked for accuracy.

The american media has become a propaganda machine for government. They are the new voice of america (VOA).

You poor, deluded and gullible idiot, beast. The BBC is funded by a licence fee set and collected by the government. Its senior officials are appointed at the behest of the government with the lure of nice government sinecures when they retire. Anyone who rocks the boat by criticising the administration is hounded out (Andrew Gilligan being just one example) Ministers interviewed by them are asked only non-controversial (and usually pre-agreed) questions.
...and you think they're not biased?

DCBeast believes what he wants to believe. Since the BBC says what he wants to hear, they must be right, mustn't they? Naturally, he knows more about our national media than we do.

BS. They can criticize foreign governments all they want. That is why their credibility is greater outside Britain.

I do know more than mainstream media wants you too. Or more precisely, what the US government wants you to.

I just said that the BBC is correct in this instance. It's on tape and verified.

Maybe all media should just start reporting only raw news and do no editorializing no summaries and no explainations. Maybe just reporting what the government said verbatim is the best way to go and allow us to draw our own conclusions form that alone. Think that will happen, not a chance. All media like their bias and will never stop with it and just report the news. I really thing the majority of people in the world are smart enough to have their own opinions and will not allow the media to sway them and the ones who do get swayed by the media are in the minority.
