The only reason she wanted to meet with Bush was to embarrass him.

It think it also might have had something to do with her kid being killed in wars that he presided over.

Now, see these last two quotes .... look, it's ridiculous to think that Cindy Sheehan was slighted because she couldn't talk to the president. It's not like you're going to chat with the City Council. But the realities of this don't matter to us, really. When we talk about Cindy Sheehan, we're talking about the war, pro and against. But instead of actually examining and talking about the war, we end up just talking about some woman who lost it after her son was killed in it.

People talk often - especially since the shooting - about how both sides need to calm down the rhetoric ... the problem isn't the 'heated' rhetoric ... because, as long as I've been alive, I've always heard about how it's never been so heated or divisive, etc. The problem isn't the intensity of the rhetoric, the problem is the rhetoric itself. It's mostly just general nonsense ... from the low brow parroting of Dawg Duty up to the more intelligent and thoughtful discussions, in the end you're still just discussing philosophy that's confined under assumptions that simply don't exist.

Barack Obama is not a liberal. He's not even close to a liberal. And yet all I hear about is how he's taking the left father than it's ever been before, he hates rich people, etc., etc., etc.

George W. Bush was not a conservative. It wasn't close. And yet all you heard about was the the 'neocons' are pushing us farther to the right than we've ever been and selling off America to corporations, he hates poor people, etc., etc.

Ronald Reagan, the shining prince of the 'right', was not a conservative. It wasn't close.

BIll Clinton, not a liberal. And on and on and on and on.

The issues themselves are often skewed and manipulated, and there doesn't even have to be a whole lot of manipulation...for the most part, which camp has suckered you, which guy has presented a persona that you like.

The issues themselves aren't really relevant -- there's this whole discourse that goes on in the vast differences that Obama and Bush have on foreign policy, and it gets put over as this hawks vs. doves, pro v. anti thing, and everyone talks as if that's the case ... but in the end, these guys have handled foreign policy, or rather let it be handled by others, almost exactly the same way. Very closely.

And yet the notions have already been set, so the conversations continue on in their stunted fashion as the always do.

Meanwhile, they rob us blind and sell us off.

But let's keep talking about the family who didn't get the call from Obama or Sarah Palin's bullseye poster.

I'd settle for reducing spending and telling the truth.

So please stop being overcritical... Obama could capture Usama, walk on water, and raise the dead and half of you would haven something negative to say.

Try not to slip in that big puddle of irony on the floor there.
