cleared, then busted

Didn't someone here say that most pilots are Republican? I assume a large
percentage of those voted for the current administration, right?

I call it as I see it: this administration is screwing GA big time, and
their record in other areas doesn't look much better.

I like it when there is some degree of gridlock in Washington, like the
White House in the power of one party and Congress another. This tends to
slow down new legislation, which is almost always a good thing. But now
with one party in control, things seem to be getting worse rapidly. A
number of posters told me a while ago (when I made a similar comment) that
it would be better if the Republicans had complete control. I'm waiting.
Just when are things going to get better? Or at least stop getting worse?

I wish there was something *effective* we could do.

Based on the posts I've seen over the last few years, I'd say that the first
sentence should be in the past tense and the second sentence is correct.

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians (ie. inducting a gay
bishop) are an affront to Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that
the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, and his
wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves,
and his wife Katherine Howard, and his wife Catherine Parr are no longer
here to suffer through this assault on traditional Christian marriages.

I did not vote for Bush, I would rather have a president in bed with his
intern then in bed with Big Business and screwing over the little people.

Why is this the choice? Have we become so polarized politically that we will
put up with any amount of corruption from anyone who claims to represent our
own point of view?

Maybe our first choice should be people of impeccable behavior, regardless
of their political leanings.

My first choice would be someone honest and thought about the people instead of
filling their wallets - I think it would be hard to find someone like this in
politics

Hell, our city council woman is under investigation by the FBI for taking money
to vote a certain way on a strip club issue, its funny because this is what
congress does all the time, but they call it lobbying and its legal - thats why
nothing gets done in DC unless your a big company with alot of donations to
give.

My first choice would be people of impeccable principles. You got any
candidates like that? John McCain is the closest I've sean, and even he
tends to follow the political winds.

There are no such candidates left, if there ever were any. The political
parties are so obsessed with power that only the corrupt can survive.

I don't think the parties are directly to blame. Rather, it's the people
that vote for the corruption that best lines their pockets. When it comes
down to election time, politicians advertise their pork jobs. Look at
interviews of voters: many cite such "projects" as reasons to keep senior
politicians in power.

The parties are working to stay in power, true. But it's the voters that
empower corrupt government.

For all his "impeccable principles", McCain is a statist thug.

"There can be no doubt that the old regime in Iraq was horrible. The Hussein
regime was a classic example of how the worst get on top of any system where
the government attempts to control and plan the entire economy. As FA Hayek
taught us (1945), those who are best at wielding power are the most brutal,
rather than the most humanitarian, people among us. President Bush surely
means well in his efforts to build a new Iraqi government and in supplying
billions in aid to it, but he will likely empower a new political elite with
this policy. This new elite need not be as tyrannical as the Hussein regime,
but it may not be much better, and will hardly be capable of promoting
economic efficiency."

Yeh, but there is no place in politics for people with those qualities.
People with those qualities would rather be dead than a politician.

Politician never lie. They just tell their own truth.
