Post #352,279 by lincoln 12/22/11 7:55:19 PM Reply	how is being in the Cabinet = being in the White House? I do not agree with that equation. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Post #352,303 by lincoln 12/23/11 5:26:57 PM Reply	I took it literally and it would be pretty much impossible for an incoming president to remove EVERY member of the opposing party from all leadership positions in the federal government. But this only goes to prove my point: Dubya CONNED Democratic politicans, along with the American people, over Saddam's possession of WMDs. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains.

Post #352,317 by Another Scott 12/23/11 8:52:41 PM Reply	You're missing the point. Beep is playing his "both sides" card - that is, in his view, both sides contributed to the problem. (Of course, the amount of blame isn't equal, but that is rarely a subject of debate in Beep's posts. ;-) There was a Democrat in Bush's administration (not a career government employee - a political appointee appointed by W), and many Democrats in Congress supported Bush's policies. Those are facts. I agree with you that the Republican party is basically insane now and I agree that they are responsible for most of the damage done during the 2000s. But you need to be more careful in constructing your arguments if you want to persuade anyone. Don't bludgeon your readers. ;-) My $0.02. Cheers, Scott.

Post #352,345 by beepster 12/24/11 11:40:39 AM Reply	Not really the "campaign" on WMD possession started during a DEMOCRATIC administration, before W was even President. So unless the point is that W did all of this whitewashing when he was Gov of Texas or part owner of a baseball team...then all this is revisionist history.

Post #352,356 by lincoln 12/24/11 5:13:25 PM Reply	Re: You're missing the point. Don't bludgeon your readers. ;-) That comes from 15 years of living in Texas with all of the Birthers/Tenthers/ultra-conservatives/Fox News only watchers. I've tried for years to reason with them, to no avail. Thus I turn to the nuclear option as first choice. Besides, it's more fun that way. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains.
