I think that she gets a fax from the Republican party every morning with talking points. She drives me nuts.

Actually, I think she's admitted that she does receive talking points from Republican strategists every morning.

Anyone who holds those yapping freaks in high enough regard to take their political views into consideration needs to reexamine their lives.

This is why I think anyone who votes needs to pass a basic civics exam.
Please tell us your civics exam score.

LOL
never said that, nor implied it. stick to topic.

p.s. unsubstantiated hyperbole that is fed from the same stupidity that got them there in the 1st place; though greed mostly as the majority of them were picked up by rivaling warlords or entrepreneurial types trying to turn a buck by turning in their neighbors.

Good question. Not sure what to do with 'em? Political fallout/fallback? Host countries don't wan't em? Many may have not been terrorists going in, Gov't worries they will be when they leave. Still OT.

To think that Bush and Co. were just picking up random, innocent cab drivers and BBQ chicken stand vendors, and sending them off to Git-Mo to take up bunk space.
Waste of dollars, imo. Let 'em do what they will; they make more money and rally more support my our presence there.

so YOU say they areunlawful incarceration...yet the POTUS Obama says they will fry.....who do I believe...hmmm a city-data poster, or the president....hmm
Good thing it's not an either/or. I never said 'they' as in all. I said 'majority'. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed deserves to fry

So how is that contrary to anything I wrote or facts I've cited. You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. Obama, Gibbs, and a city-data poster would tell you that... I would imagine.

nonsensical inference #59. Welcome to the club, and good luck on your test... hopefully no reading comprehension involved there.

Beside the point of the thread, but terrorism will never cease. And overthrowing countries to the tune of billions of dollars to find a couple dozen people in a cave will never be the smart choice, and will ultimately bankrupt the U.S. if continued.



AFA the View; agreed, none of 'em make for quality political discourse. But Elizabeth is the most self righteous (and IMO, the most ignorant) on these matters.

Those that are being charged have some of the most frivolous charges after years of unlawful incarceration that trying them in a Military Tribunal would be insult to injury. I posted about this in vivid detail before from the folks on the ground at Get-Mo!

See:

Why do these ignorant pundits feed the stupidity so much? Why would they talk about something they know nothing about and just feed off blind emotions?

You make a statement like that and dare to call anyone dumb? You get the Moonbat of the week award!

The View would lose ratings if Elizabeth was not on the show. She is eye candy. And it's even better when eye-candy has an attitude. I don't think she is very knowledgeable but I certainly don't think she is any less knowledgeable than Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar. Barbara Walters is the only one on that show that seems to have any clue what is going on.

She is often ganged up upon because she is the only conservative. And I think most of the time she makes valid points but her tone and approach is so offensive that you end up wanting to disagree with her. When she gets ganged up upon, she gets defensive and can be very aggressive in attacking. Sure, you could argue, she has a right to do that if she is being picked on. And I agree that she does have that right. At the same time, it doesn't serve her well because in her angry retorts, she just comes accross as being vindictive and mean. She doesn't know how to be graceful in these situations.
