Is this true? What is the evidence of increased voter registration, other than word of mouth?

You're obviously not listening to NPR, or even reading all the stories on the FNC website.

So which is it? Are DEM voter rolls up or being surpressed? I'm confused.

Maybe both. Those are not inconsistent, club.

Headline: " Bremer: 'Not not enough troops' in Iraq after Saddam's ouster"

"(CNN) -- The former U.S. civilian administrator in Iraq says the United States "paid a big price" for not having enough troops on the ground after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime."

P.S. Holy Shit! Who knew? I thought Rumsfeld said we didn't need many actual soldiers.

Dunno, but I'm missing the relevance of that to the question we're discussing, which was "Man with a gun? Call 911!"

The NRA thanks you for your credulous regurgitation of its talking points, though. You are a very good boy.

The reason why you don't see the relevance is the same reason why you deserve to be shot.

Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski has slammed Dem president hopeful John Kerry for not recognizing Poland's contributions and sacrifice to the war in Iraq.

"It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience does not recognize Polish contribution. This is immoral," Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski told FACTS in an interview commenting on the US Presidential Debate.

"It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience underestimates Polish sacrifice, this is sad."

The Polish President added however that one should consider this was a part of the ongoing electoral campaign.

"I do not think this was out of ignorance," the president emphasized on the TVN Facts.

"There is one thing which should be stated clearly: this coalition is not just the United States, Great Britain, Australia alone; it also involves participation of Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Spanish soldiers who have died. It is immoral not to recognize the involvement we contributed based on our conviction that there should be unity in fighting terrorism, that there was a need to display international solidarity and that Saddam Hussein was a dangerous individual of this world."

"President Bush acted like a real Texan gentleman, he made sure to show appreciation for other countries' involvement in the coalition," Kwasniewski pointed out.

Kwasniewski bitching about Kerry.

This is the same guy who stated that Bush "sold them a bill of goods" on WMD, and recently said his soldiers would be out before Spring, 2005?

Prickly sort.

Excellent source. Clearly well vetted. I'm convinced.

Why not? Especially since the Dems will claim it happened anyway.

One of the problems with the gun control debate is that the people who feel passionately about either side just fundamentally view the world differently from each other, and view the other side as espousing a direct threat to their personal safety.

The NRA slogan "When guns are criminalized, only criminals will have guns" has always struck me as odd, because it could just as easily be a pro gun control slogan, if one goes to a far enough extreme.

If Kerry was President today - and his French and Russian buddies succeeded in having all the UN sanctions dropped - this very well might have been a possibility.

Well, thats a complete pile of steaming shit straight from Safire's ass, er, I guess they're calling that his mouth these days...

This would be true - oil would be much cheaper.

Next up, Jesus converts to Islam!

I imgaine Cheney threatened to eat Rumsfeld's young (if he hasn't done so already), because Rummy has backed off on this. Rumsfeld's timing was a bit, er, poor. A cynic might wonder if he was deliberately trying to screw with tonight's debate. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=6414697

I don't think Atticus deserves to be shot, but I'm willing to bet the victims don't see the relevance either.
