New CIA Docs Show Bush Ignored Seven Different Warnings About Imminent Attacks

Utterly sick and disgusting that bush thought his time off was more important than our nation's safety. Once again, I can only imagine that if Gore hadn't had the presidency stolen from him then we might never have had to endure this tragedy - or, at the very least, we would have kept some of the terrorists from bordering the planes and would have responded to whatever might have happened appropriately. It still makes me sick what bush did to this country after allowing this to happen.

this guy is insane

Of course, this might make slightly more sense if there was any gun control laws even being considered at this time. And, of course, Obama has not even talked about wanting any gun control laws (even after horrific shootings).

People like "Joe" are just loony-tunes...

my first thought upon seeing this headline was "wow, boehner wants to end the tax cuts to the rich, too?!"

Boehner: Obama must act on taxes to help economy

Weird how the repugs think that things that have not helped the economy since they were implemented will suddenly now start helping the economy....Isn't that one of the definitions of insanity?

The crazy conservatives on the court won't legislate by the law - the let their insane political views get in the way of justice. Any wonder why the current court has such a low approval.

George W. Bush’s favorable rating lowest of any living president, poll shows

No, people still have not forgotten how much bush f'k'd this country. Yes, I wish Obama had done more to date to fix bush's f'k-ups, but at least we're moving in the right direction as opposed to the downward spiral we were in under bush.

you would hope so, but somehow I doubt it

Is the GOP ready for its own gay candidate?

Considering that most repugs are rabidly and violently anti-gay, I would be surprised if he is accepted, but you never know...
