[QUOTE=Esten; 416028]Dems held Congress since 2007.
Wait a sec. Oh crap, you got me. You win! Your in-depth analysis has defeated me! LOL[/QUOTE]
Oh wait, you are onto something! Obama's February 2011 budget deficit is greater than the entire budget deficit for 2007.
I haven't read up much on the Supreme Court justices, but this guy's wife is quite interesting.
Apparently Virginia Thomas is:
- a consultant to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank;
- the founder and president of an advocacy group associated with the Tea party, Liberty Central;
- the head of Liberty Consulting, Inc.
Liberty Consulting promises to give 'voice to principled citizens and the tea party movement in the halls of Congress through governmental affairs efforts'.
And I'm supposed to believe that such political activism by a Supreme Court justice's spouse doesn't pose a blatant conflict of interest? Oh my.
Thanks for bringing that to my attention Moveon.

Wait a sec. Oh crap, you got me. You win! Your in-depth analysis has defeated me! LOL[/QUOTE]Come on Esten, you got to do better than this? You started this conversation with you're statement that Bush was responsible for the deficit. Right! Both the democratic house and senate have set and passed the budget (until recently) since 2007. As WW points out, the exacerbation of these events have escalated dramatically under Obominations watch. Please elaborate how it's all W's fault. Inquiring minds want to know. Yes dude, sometimes the fastest way to get from point A to point B is a straight line. The dem's have been setting the country's operating deficit since 2007. Don't ya just hate the facts buddy? Tick! Tick! Tick! Regime change is just around the corner. Happy Mongering All. Toymann
Take your pick, America.
Poster boys for fat wallets and gigantic egos.
That has had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of Justice Thomas. From my limited interaction with him, I found nothing that would contradict the fact that he is a good and honorable man.
Esten, Moreon and the left hate Justice Thomas because he is black and a conservative. If either of you has anything substantive to share about him, please do, but spare us a continuation of the racially motivated attacks of the left.
He's black, conservative, appointed for life and married a white girl, get over it.
[QUOTE=Wild Walleye;416023]But if we're looking over the maps for a place to put boots on the ground, I (once again) vote for Libya. They have shit loads of oil.[/QUOTE]____________________________________________________________________________________________.
Once again, you have proved your self to be another neocon with a hand gun up your ass and cow dung between the ears. It's your type of hillbilly, gung-ho mentality that got the US in a needless war in Iraq that cost our economy trillions of dollars and needless loss of life.
Sure, it's easy to say let the U.S. put "boots and the ground" without thinking of the long-term consequences, the diplomatic implications, and the perverted morality of such a decision.
Just because Libya has oil reserves and their central government has been weakened, it's ok to send troops into a sovereign nation and start exploiting the oil reserves of another nation and people?
Dude, get back to your horse ranch in Montana or whatever backward state you're from. I would be embarrassed walking around Buenos Aires near you or any other city in the world hearing such nonsense.

Libya only has 20% of the population of Iraq and the world's 9th largest, proven oil reserves. If we can steam roll Iraq in three weeks, we should be able to do the same to Libya in 4. 2 days. All we then do is cordon of the oil producing areas with a border fence (like the one we are not building on our southern border) and start pumping that black gold out as fast as we can.

I'm surprised such spousal activities are tolerated at the level of a Supreme Court justice.
Your claims of hate and racial motivation here are about as feeble as your previous posts that I hate the poor. You are grasping at straws.

[quote=IBD]Energy Policy: As the White House goes to court to defend its self-imposed drilling moratorium, it floats the idea of tapping our strategic petroleum reserve to lower rising prices. How about the oil offshore and in Alaska?
Listening to mainstream punditry, you'd think $4 gas is due solely to Mideast unrest and global demand. Those are factors, but so are our self-imposed restrictions on supply.
The administration at least acknowledges that the law of supply and demand exists, with White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley telling NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that the White House is considering tapping into the nation's strategic petroleum reserve to counteract upward price pressure caused by fear of supply disruptions from Mideast unrest.
"The issue of the reserves is one (option) we are considering," Daley said. All matters have to be on the table." All options? Does that include opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, ending a de facto drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico and lifting a seven-year ban on drilling off our coasts?
We think not, for as Daley was uttering those words the administration was speaking out of the other side of its mouth by going to court to appeal a judge's order to act on several Gulf of Mexico deep-water drilling permits. That appeal was made Friday, the same day the national average for a price of self-serve unleaded hit $3. 51, up 32. 7 cents from two weeks earlier.
The Obama administration appealed an order by District Court Judge Martin Feldman, who on Feb. 17 gave the administration and Interior Department 30 days to decide on five pending deep-water drilling permit applications. He later added two more permits to his order.
It was Feldman who issued an injunction against the administration's total ban on deep-water drilling after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, calling it "heavy-handed, and rather overbearing." The administration had even doctored a report by experts it convened on offshore drilling safety to make it seem as if they approved of the moratorium, which they later said they did not.
When the administration rearranged a few words and phrases and reinstated the moratorium, Feldman found Interior in contempt. In his current order, Feldman said the delay in issuing permits since last year's oil spill was "increasingly inexcusable."
As for a possible oil crisis, it is we who have dug the hole we're in. We could in the short term start issuing those drilling permits being held hostage and in the long term exploit the domestic oil and gas reserves that dwarf anything Saudi Arabia and OPEC may have.
As Jane Van Ryan of the American Petroleum Institute states, the SPR "was established to protect the United States against an interruption of petroleum supplies, such as occurred after the hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
It was not established to respond to or mask the consequences of a deliberate administration policy to have energy prices "necessarily skyrocket" in a futile pursuit of so-called "green" energy, a policy designed to create an artificial shortage orchestrated by an energy secretary, Steven Chu, who once said gas should be at $8 a gallon.
The administration's energy policy, or lack of one, is inexcusable and outright hypocritical — admitting we need to increase supply to mitigate price hikes at the same time it works to restrict supply to make prices go up.
