4. frisco, are you for real?
Not meaing an ad hominem attack here, but,

Have you done ANY research into ANY of these topics?

You have quite an impressive number of posts, here, so I know you're not just a disrupter, but find it hard to believe you actually can explain away all those "coincidences."

Or maybe Old and In The Way's sarcasm meter was left on during your post.

Yeesh!

5. ok, I'm sarcastic tonight
But besides the Trifecta question, which I plead ignorance, the rest were all pretty much close. It's time to drop the recall crap..it's like argueing that the Chicago vote put JFK overthe top against Nixon. Yes there was some foul play but the fact is that it was just too close to figure out.

Argueing that the majority of folks who can't figure out how to properly punch holes in a card were all on our side is not that great either.

The Islamisists just bombed the friggin UN. Can we just agree that the majority is going to think less of them now and think that taking them out was a good idea? Even Bill Press asked if maybe Bush did the right thing for the wrong reason?

6. Can the ends justify the means?
The family and community values I was taught is that the ends do not, cannot justify the means. Ever. Period. End of moral debate.

So, tell me, please, frisco: Can the ends justify the means for you?

The problem with the rabid repugs is that everyone acts as though the ends can, and should, justify the means. On everything.

If we don't like Bill Clinton's politics, set him up and impeach him.

If we can't figure out the ballots in Florida easily, have the Supreme Court intervene even though that is totally NOT the Constitutional solution that was carefully crafted and laid out perfectly clearly and had been followed many times in the past.

If we can't convince the American people -- we won't even talk about the world -- to overthrow a cruel dictator, we'll scare the people with talk of WMDs, smoking guns being in the form of mushroom clouds. Afterwards, they'll have no choice.

If corporate cronyism rips off people and leaves public utilities bankrupt, it won't matter because we'll already have robbed the riches.

If we're caught telling lies -- take your pick of the many -- we'll simply deny we said it and then tell everyone to "move on."

If we get 240 people killed or wounded in a single day because we've brought massive instability into an already volatile region, we'll just say it proves our argument.

They've turned logic and morality on its head and they expect us to go along. Well, I'm sorry. Bill Press is dead wrong. The ends cannot justify the means.
