1. I need help! (Campus debate)

Hello,

I'm sorry I could not start my own topic--I haven't made enough posts on here for them to let me. Tomorrow Night, us College Democrats will be in a debate on campus here at the University of Mississippi against the Republicans and Libertarians (I couldn't find it in my heart to exclude anyone). I need to get some facts straight--I hope someone can provide:

1. I heard before Clinton's speech at the Boston convention that he was introduced as "The administration where more people moved up into the middle class than ever before." Is this true? Where can I find this cited?

2. Does anyone know how many House Democrats voted for the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (It raised interest on student loans)? I can find the Senate record, but the House is a pain in the neck to locate.

3. Same question for the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (A sinister giveaway to big drug companies).

4. How many troops do we still have in Kosovo? Is the casualty level still 0, after all these years?

5. What kind of alternative energy programs did Jimmy Carter have in place that Reagan dismantled? Whatever figures you have on this I would appreciate.

Thanks for the help guys, and as I piece stuff together, I'm sure there will be more!

5. You'll probably be better off waiting until you can start threads.

Then you can take these topics on one at a time.

And welcome to DU!! :hi:

12. I started a thread for you. Hope it helps.

15. You don't need all that many posts to start a thread.

Just keep "kicking" everything you see for awhile like everyone else does to bloat their post count.

21. Prescription bill background here

http://pharmawatch.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_pharmawatch_archive.html

You might also want to google prescription, bill, DeLay, vote to find the story of arm-twisting they went through to get this pathetic giveaway to the big pharma passed.

2. He is conditioned to expect obediance.

[carolinalady]

3. I thought he was having a temper tantrum.

Rummy will resign within 30 days IMO. He sounded just like this on the Dubai deal. I think he is mad because he can not find someone else to take the job.

[rodeodance]

11. temper, yes that was for sure. But this issue is gettting to him-that is

evident.

[KAT119]

33. Rummy/Dummy is co-founder of PNAC & as Illuminati & Reptilian as they

come. He would be most difficult to fire as he is appatantly implementing all of the WH's PNAC goals for world domination through endless war - fear - and intimidation ! ! WORLD SLAVERY TO PNAC = Project for a New American Century (think Rome/Cesar).

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. When he's pissed, I'm estatic. Screw him and the bunch he hangs with

What a bunch of fools they are.

[WI_DEM]

7. He's always angry, bitter or petulant

[Crankie Avalon]

8. HE is the "decider {sic}" and he "decides what's best"...

...that's why everything has become such a hopeless mess these last 5 years.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Wow! What a collection of arrogant and condescending facial

expressions. Seeing them all together like that is unnerving. This guy really thinks he's all that and more. That last one freaks me out. :hide:

[driver8]

26. No kidding! That last shot on the right is his "I am lying out my

ass but I gotcha convinced" face.

He is despicable.

[Inland]

19. The last one is at the end of every sentence

It's the "nothing you can do about it" look.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Clearly the meaning behind the facial expression. Arrogant to the max!

[sallydallas124]

28. His contempt for the American people

is so clear in those pictures.

[latebloomer]

31. How can anyone look at those pics

and have any respect whatsoever for that creature?

Boggles the mind.

[bdamomma]

9. bush is like a rabid dog

when he is angry, he is not a well man. Very sick indeed.

[BuyingThyme]

10. Rummy clearly owns Bush. Whatever Bush did, Rummy knows.

This is all about blackmail. That's how it works in Republican circles.

[Inland]

Not blackmail, but keeping buried bodies buried.

New guy might uncover something. Old guy is complicit, will keep mouth shut as long as he's in office.

[Inland]

13. He sure sounded angry on radio.

Taking it personally in two ways: that someone he personally chose for a position is held responsible for results, and that someone has the gall to second guess his decisionery. Maybe they are the same thing.

[carolinalady]

20. Decisionery---LMAO.

Decisionery was based on knowns that were not knowable and unknowns that were unknowable. Therefore, the impordant strategery is being adjusted.............and WE ARE MAKIN' GREAT PROGRESS.
:patriot:

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. He was his normal pissy self when anyone questions his judgment.

He also said Rumsfield is doing a "fine" job. Oh boy.

[Poiuyt]

18. Why is it OK for Bush or McCain to be angry but they use it to smear

Hillary

[bdamomma]

22. can we all start calling the WH

and tell these jerks to FUCK OFF. Well, not those words specifically but just leave please. take rummy and the rest with you.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

23. He WAS angry......

He's being attacked in an almost unprecedented fashion. His approval numbers are at history-making lows, his brass (albeit retired) are openly revolting against his foreign policies, federal scandals are legion and his economic plan is in the crapper. And now he's threatened to use the Bomb. I really don't know how much longer he'll be able to retain enough credibility to remain in office.

We're coming up on the point in this admin. where we threw Nixon out of office in '74. Someone really needs to explain to this man that his retaining the office is not only hurting the office of President, its also injuring the rest of the world and killing this country.

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Not as angry as I am at the way he has &%#*-up this country

[Ksec]

27. This is great. I hope he sticks to his bullheaded ways

The problem is that its bad for the poor folks fighting illegal wars under Rummy. They pay for bush rumsfeld incompetence.

But if there was ever a Pres that was good for us politically, this is him.

[bscottsmith]

29. he cant resign

karl, cheney, and rummy are the "decider's" bush is the spokesman.
