    Anthony - What, you copy and paste your old comments into every thread? Lame.

    btw, we're still waiting to hear any proof at all that teenagers were behind the anthrax letters....

    Mel - "but given that the electorate might well re-elect him given the chance, I'd say the problem remains with us."

    Clinton served two terms. That's it for him. Got more hate?

    Natalie -- My point is that the US press (and populace) has far more reverence for high office than do the Brits.

    I don't think it's necessarily a good or bad thing. It's just different. I do wish that US officials were forced to be as transparent and available to grilling as are their UK counterparts.

    And I absolutely love that the UK Prime Minister must stand before Parliament at regular intervals to take questions from all comers.

    Can you imagine Bush doing that even once?

    Bennett, what, you go back through all the posts to find a flaw.

    You still didn't answer my question on your opinions on the supreme court rulling, or your probabally not up to date on current events. You probabally get your news from MTV. Do you still believe Bush will still insert the draft? Or has MTV let that news go?

    Yes, Mr. Berlin, I understood that. I am quite familiar with the governmental workings of your country and the UK. And, no, I can't imagine the Shrub doing that.

    No Anthony, I remember that talking point from one of your earlier comments. It jumped right out as something you had *written* before.

    Does your insulting attitude get you what you want from life? Hope so.

    Re: Supreme Court Ruling. I'm not happy about it. But what does that prove or disprove? You don't know me, or how I vote, so what does that question have to do with anything about this thread?

    Is eveyone who writes or comments on blogcritics a "Liberal" to you?

    ...and where's the info on them anthrax teenagers?

    I am glad to see that you you agree with me on the supreme court ruling. The reason I asked you about it is because you a democrat I thought you could tell me why all four democrats on the supreme court ruled that way.

    And yes everyone on Blogcritics is a liberal. When was the last time you saw a support our troops or a pro Bush post.

    P.S. Dave Nelle is a liberal. He supports killing babies in the whom and dudes marrying dudes, therefore he is a liberal.

    By your definition, Mr. Grande. Many, many others see things differently.

  • 83 - Bennett

    Jul 16, 2005 at 5:14 pm

    If eveyone on blogcritics is a liberal, and you are posting on blogcritics, then YOU are a liberal?

  • 84 - Anthony Grande

    Jul 16, 2005 at 5:20 pm

    99.9% of people on blogcritics are liberal. I am sorry for the inconvenience I put on you Mr. Bennett. I hope you are o.k.

    if dave nalle is a liberal then al barger is a hippie.

  • 86 - Natalie Davis

    Jul 16, 2005 at 5:27 pm

    Your assertion, Mr. Grande, is patently false. Of course, having been banned for egregiously bad conduct, you probably have not had the opportunity to read all of the postings and see the myriad of non-liberal viewpoints expressed here.

  • 87 - Anthony Grande

    Jul 16, 2005 at 5:28 pm

    What you think Dave is a Conservative?
    Yeah right. And if Dave Nalle has to be considered a moderate than he is a moderate that leans on the liberal side.

  • 88 - Anthony Grande

    Nancy, you don't know why I was banned.

    Secondly, point out another conservative besides me.

    If all you read on BlogCritics is anti-Bush politics posts, it's easy to conclude that BC is a liberal hotbed, Bennett.

    Besides, we've all seen how thoroughly Anthony researches what he writes about. [/sarcasm] Why let his opinion get your goat?

  • 90 - Anthony Grande

    Comment 89, if the Sarcasm was directed at the Anthrax thing, I have found the site that proves the culprit is an American instead of a terrorist.

    I will give it to you in a second.

    Is Ms. Nancy taking part in this thread?

    If anyone is having trouble finding it then type in keywords "anthrax" and "culprit"

    I have found the site that proves the culprit is an American instead of a terrorist.

    More excellent reasoning. The acts perpetrated make someone a terrorist, not his/her nationality. Whoever perpetrated the anthrax attacks is a TERRORIST, even if s/he is American.

    Now, what about those pesky teenagers?

    It's been almost 4 years since the attacks. Why aren't those kids in jail?

  • 95 - Bennett

    Jul 16, 2005 at 6:07 pm

    DrPat - Knuckleheads? Get my goat? Not quite. He's somewhat amusing in his narrow-minded barely-schooled rants.

    Seems unable to create a clickable link as well.

    Still waiting for a link to a credible news source that indicates "teenagers" are responsible for the anthrax letters...

  • 96 - Anthony Grande

    Jul 16, 2005 at 6:09 pm

    You obviously haven't been to the sight.

    I remembered teenages when I wrote that but that turned out to be wrong. Though it was an American like I said I apoligize for that post.

  • 97 - bhw

    Jul 16, 2005 at 7:15 pm

    Okay, so it wasn't teenagers, or at least that's what investigators think. But the American who sent the anthrax, if it was an American, is a terrorist.

  • 98 - Bennett

    Jul 16, 2005 at 7:22 pm

    That's cool Anthony, appology accepted. Ya see, what most of the adults around here knew is that anthrax is a highly controlled virus, not something teenagers could get their hands on.

    That the source was an American has been out there for a while, and as bhw says, whoever did it was a terrorist.

    Home grown, or foreign.

    Clinton's accomplishments as president:
    Four terrorist attacks(1st World Trade Center Bombing, Oklohoma City Bombing, U.s. Embassy Bombing in Kenya, and the Us. Cole) and our great president refused to start a war over them, which led terrorists to believe they can get away with 9/11.
    Also, the Waco Texas incident when U.S troops bllew up a building with close to a hundred kids in it, just because a few men were suspected to be armed.
    Also, Clinton made sure five year old Elion Gonzales was sent back to Castro's Cuba.
    Then, Clinton became the first president to become impeached.

    Bush's Accomplishments as president:
    One terrorist attack thanks to Clinton.
    Took out the terrible Taliban, with it's oppresive Islamic Government which caused it's people to starve.
    Destroyed the power of Al Queda and is close to eliminating it.
    Took out Saddam Hussein who had the potential of Hitler, paid suicide bombers in Palestine, massacred entire cities because they chose to follow a different religion other that Sunni Islam and very dangerous to his neighbors.
    Set up the first Democracies in both Afghanistan and Iraq, which it's cobined population of 60 million overwhelmingly voted for.
    Ended suicide bombings in Palestine, which caused major terror among Israelis.
    Is in process of taken out Mousoui's terrorist organization in Syria.
    Pissed off France and Germany, but made up for that with the new close alliances with Iraq and Afghanistan.
    Made the U.s. the first country to occupy a country without stealing it's resources or raping it's people of independence. And for what? World Peace.
    Set a record numbers for fewest casualties in combatical war.

    But of course Clinton was by far the greatest president(sarcasm).

    Tony: You hold your own well in a politically hostile environment. I see that you quite effectively silenced the liberals for one week since posting the Clinton v. Bush accomplishments. Might I add one further accomplishment to Bush's list: National patriotism.
