Actually, I think it's about time there was a legitimate populist movement in the US. People, in general, are way to apathetic about their own government...so kudos to those who are willing to finally make a stand for something.

"I got $50 in bailout cash that says they're clueless about Socialism. Or for that matter, Democracy."

If you find someone stupid enough to take that bet, lemme know. I could use some easy cash too.

They may as well all have the same two words on all their signs: "We're bitter!"

Politics makes me hate people.

I agree with defeat...its not all Bush's fault, he is just an easy scape goat, just as Obama will be when he leave office, and just as Clinton was when he left of certain things. You bring up the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction found, however, no one ever mentions the tons of Yellow Cake material, which is sead material for Nuclear weapons that was shipped out of Iraq last year and reported by MSNBC. Here is the link if you would like to read it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334/. Of course this never gets mentioned because all Bush bashers want to continue to bring up that no WMD's were ever found. And yes, this is not a WMD but, at the very least this could have been used to make a dirty bomb.

Richie, I think your a great reporter. One of my favorite sports reporters. And while I am not saying you should not have an opinion on these things, sometimes yours and others hatred of all things Bush is a little bit disgusting to me and many others. While I am not a fan of everything he did, which includes running up a huge deficit, I do feel like after 9/11 we were live in a safer place. And, after all is that not one of the things we should expect from our elected leaders, regardless of the party the represent?

No, I gotta go with it's, ummm, pretty much all W's fault. Unless of course being competent has been removed as a competitive category. Then I'll go with any Republican.

Just a couple of thoughts RDUB

Men in girdles ... Dude.

The balanced budgets and surpluses of the 90's. Please thank Newt Gingrich. Bill went along and won praise for it. (The same way Bush went along with the dems in Tx and won praise for it).

WMD's -- why do you think we and the Israelis have renewed interest in Syria? Hello .. they have Iraq's uranium.

I know I know ... if the above were true, why isn't the main stream media talking about them?

@pdetx

you are an example of what's wrong with the bush apologist. despite not finding any WMD you instead reference the ingredients of such aforementioned weapons and make a weak attempt to defend the purpose for engagement.

here's a question for you: would have you endorsed the war effort if only on the basis of going after the "yellow cake?" acutally, don't answer that question until you read the rest.

and oh by the way, you might want to do your homework before you post this kind of material and evidence again.

first, yellowcake is uranium pentoxide which is the naturally occurring ore of uranium. Its not "weapons grade" and can be found all over the world.

second, both the UN and IEA knew of the yellowcake allocation. it was a legal amount at that time.

using the "yellow cake" as your "gotcha" moment is at best, disingenuous, and, at worst, an insult to anyone who actually researches information and doesn't use the electronic baby sitter (fox, msnbc, cnn) as their information gatherer.

turn off the TV and read! it actually works.

Richie, I am actually more interested on what further insight the tea party might have given you as to The Ticket's "last supper" (as we are still waiting...).

this is the kind of shit i come to sportatorium to avoid.

when i'm feeling especially masochistic and i want to be preached to by partisan fuckface idiots (not talking about you richie), there are countless websites i can visit. i'd rather not count this one among them.

@pirate

One last thing, I am not a Bush apologist. I did vote for him at the time because I believe he was the better of the 2 in both elections. Also, I voted for Obama this last time because after examining both sides I felt like at this particular point Obama was the better choice. I do not agree with all of his policies, just as I did not agree with all of the Bush policies. I do however stand by my statement that we were safer at the end of the Bush presidency then we were in the begining.

I think history will look much more kindly on the Bush years then we do now. Only time will tell though.

Sorry, I just can't help from poking the Bushies every now and then. They're just so easy. Back to sports in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

Is it me or are all the so-called conservatives in this country gone even more bats**t crazy than usual since Barack Obama was sworn in?

@pirate and the other idiots

If anyone thinks Iraq and the Taliban wasn't trying to build a WMD and wouldn't eventually have gotten there; your an idiot.

Now with Obama, we will have to wait for a mushroom cloud over an NFL city before we take any action against an aggressor. Good plan!

I'm moving to Central Iowa!!

They used to say that Dick Motta's approach to coaching was to roll the ball out onto the court and tell the team to play.
This is neither criticism or complement RDub but sometimes your approach to blogging is to thrown out a that-sumbitch-George-Bush.

Richie - Thanks for bringing out the real ugly side of Americans. This whole rant is because you choose to talk about politics in a sports forum.

Listen, I voted for W. twice, and would do it again. I don't think he was even close to being a great president, but he was a hell of a lot better than the options. Either Gore or Kerry would have castrated this country, just like Obama is trying to do. Watch him go on another "apology tour" around the world and bow down to other nations.

What we need is a stong candidate that will pledge to cut taxes, reduce the size of goverment and slash spending! Americans need to take responsibility for their actions and quit expecting the government to bail them out.

'Nuff about politics. Back to sports.

@Pirate

If you think the Taliban wasn't thinking/trying to get a WMD, your way off. Don't you watch 24 ???

But on your word, I will henceforth ignore the numerous Pakistani Taliban leader speeches where they claim 'WMD's are needed to strengthen the sword of Islam' and the Martyrs that show up from time to time with Masters degree's from American prestigious Universities. They are obviously not thinking about it and are all third world idiots who can't even add numbers. What was I thinking?

Thanks, I will sleep better
