    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I really wish you would make up your mind. First, my "tone" was an insensitive jab at people that have health issues, and now my "tone" was directed at the next people that will be complaining about President Bush, people that may or may not be facing a serious illness. And you know what...

    An interesting look at what happened to the pentagon on 9/11

    It took me about 8 minutes on a dial-up, PinWizard. It's basically a few minutes of video laying out all of the "evidence" that Flight 77 didn't really hit the Pentagon.

    An interesting look at what happened to the pentagon on 9/11

    I'm glad that you are so certain about how large of an area would have been damaged by the strike. I would like to add that pictures of the site can also be deceiving, if you've never seen the Pentagon in person. It is a HUGE building, and there was a very large damage area. Unless you can...

    An interesting look at what happened to the pentagon on 9/11

    I just got back and I'm trying to load it now, but if the gist of the video is that a large commercial airliner didn't hit the Pentagon, then that's just bull. I SAW the plane hit the building. It wasn't a small plane, and it wasn't a missile. It was a large airliner that was flying low and...

    Six minutes later, and it's still loading - could someone throw me a clue while I wait?

    For some reason, nothing came up. What is it?

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I certainly hope that you aren't planning on becoming a mind reader, because if so, I'm worried that's it's not really your forte. My "tone" was directed squarely at one person and one person only - Senator Clinton. And it had nothing to do with her husband's illness or her feelings about...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I respectfully disagree. I certainly have an opinion on how Senator Kerry would react to a 9/11-type event, and that's why I can't in good conscience vote for him. As I've said many times, it's about time and place. Had President Bush called for an invasion of Iraq when he gave his...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I think there must be something wrong with my computer, because while I can read everything I wrote, others apparently can't. Let me re-post what I wrote earlier, and maybe this time it will show up on everyone's screen the way it does on mine. As I've said ad nauseum, for me, it's about...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Apparently, you are easily insulted, and I can't help that. But I stand by my belief that when a person is coming out as a private citizen to make a statement about a personal crisis or issue, I expect that person to stick with that and not launch into a political point. How did I...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Then perhaps you should learn more about what constitutes character assassination. I think what she did was wrong, and I said so. That doesn't mean I'm calling her character into question. I know plenty of people that do things I think are wrong, but that doesn't mean I think they are of...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    You've got to be kidding...:rolleyes: No, I was simply responding in small words and short sentences to a couple of the posters that have said that they couldn't believe I had brought up what Senator Clinton said. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Not only would that be...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    We don't know for certain how he would handle, but based on his statements and his history in the Senate, we can certainly hypothesize. Though I disagree with her, I admire her for standing by what she believes in. But I think it was the wrong time and place to do it.

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Speaking for myself, yes, absolutely. I think she could have made the exact same point, at a different time, in a different venue (such as a political rally, during a campaign speech, etc), and I would have thought it was a great way to get the point across in a personal way. But to say it...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I just want to make sure that I've got all of this straight... Senator Clinton using her husband's illness to score political points - Good. Me pointing out that she used her husband's illness to score political points - Bad. Does that about sum it up?

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    I don't hate her - I don't even know her. I disagree with almost all of her policies, because if I wanted to live in a socialist country, I'd move to one. But I don't hate her at all. I think you need to calm down and re-read what I've written. I think it was the wrong place and the...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    To clarify my position, I didn't see anything out of the way at all about her or her statement prior to her statement about the insurance. I thought she looked relaxed, and she seemed very confident in the doctors, the hospital and prognosis. As I said before, she was very gracious in her...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Let me see...talking about a national tragedy in the midst of a political campaign to point up the differences between how two different candidates would handle such a tragedy vs. using what was billed as a personal statement from the former President's wife to update the nation on his condition...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Really? You don't believe that making a political statement during a statement about her husband's condition is politicizing his illness? ***ETA I could absolutely see her making a statement similar to what you just made, after the surgery, i.e. "During my husband's hospitilization, we...

    OK, the next time that someone complains about President Bush politicizing something

    Oh Abs, good to see you back - I guess you posting an obscenity here on the DIS yesterday didn't result in your banning. Too bad. How is my posting this going to score any points for Republican Party? The people that don't see anything wrong with using a spouse's health to shill for a...
