Didn't you know, all along, that the goal of U.S. policy in Iraq was about accessing oil?

Not oil as in those production levels at the onset of the Bush era incursion in March, 2003. But newer, stronger, American-style production levels. American oil companies had been forbidden from exploring and developing new oil fields since the nationalization of Iraq's reserves in 1972 and those American oil companies have long contended that Iraqi estimates of their potential reserves are grossly underestimated, by perhaps as much as a couple of hundred billion barrels.

Likewise, didn't you know all along that Republican opposition to current health care reform is about maintaining the unconscionable monopoly that insurance companies have in the American economy. Why? For the same reason Bush went to war in Iraq, spent money we didn't have, pushed the country into financial ruin and did more to threaten our long term national security than any modern president. The GOP needs contributions.

Pretty much everything by the Huffington Post and far leftist radicals from Hollywood is garbage and not worth listening to. Baldwin is a notorious ******* and will always regurgitate partisan garbage.

Why does the left look to actors for their doctrine?

ALL of the Iraqi oil was already contracted out and the US received ZERO, NONE, ZIP, oil.. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING..

What Monopoly would that be?

Why? For the same reason Bush went to war in Iraq, spent money we didn't have, pushed the country into financial ruin and did more to threaten our long term national security than any modern president. The GOP needs contributions

The insurance companies donated more to Democrats than the GOP..

Ooh I'm not going to even continue, why bother, you liberals will ignore facts anyways.

Yes, and haven't they noticed that, without exception, an actor's best work is always something he did not write himself.

Who the hell cares what a bunch of freaking actors say and who the hell starts off a fresh post with a quote from a different thread.

They have equal value to a talk show host, commentator or anybody else who wants to state their 2 cents. (that includes you and me)

And they have just as good of chance of being right or wrong.


Hmmm, wasnt one of our presidents, a actor? Guess the same goes to him and all he said too.

Notice how all of the attacks are based on who the messenger is. None of them bother to actually address the message. I guess conservatives are quick to judge others for what they do for a living; substance doesn't matter.

I see no problem with listening to voices from different walks of life. Unlike the Republican Party, the Democratic Party is a big tent.

But since you brought it up, why does the right look to entertainers like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck?
