I believe the spiral coils reduce accuracy when aiming for an opponent's eye. I would suggest going without the coil, for better penetration.

Also, go telescoping; they're concealable, and you don't need a permit.

I hate to support a tax increase, but we can't keep borrowing, so we have to do something. My dollar needs to quit declining, because I live mostly month to month, and can't just "get out" of the dollar, if you know what I mean.

We would be better served by wrapping it up (as cleanly as possible) in Iraq and Afghanistan, but who knows how long that will take. I highly doubt that will happen before Obama's first term.

Plus, if I am understanding this correctly, most people are getting tax cuts, am I right? I'm game (I'm not rich).

Nice one.

If you had some sort of swatting device, like say, a car antennae, couldn't you just bat the grenade back out through the window, killing the intruder?

"I'm not saying it will but it will be a first step in that direction. To restore the dollar it will take sacrifice on the part of America, the sacrifice which should have been made when we went to war(s) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now we have dug a deep hole which will continue to weaken the dollar until we pay down some of the debt. Certainly though, making those tax cuts permanent as McBush wants to do will only further undermine confidence in the dollar and probably bankrupt the government as well as all of us."

Posted by danni

If he allowed them to expire in order to not have to borrow so much more money for other ventures, I would be more optimistic about it. But using it for new spending seems like we won't be seeing much in increased revenue; we'd be breaking even and still having to borrow.

I think to really see our dollar come back we'd be better served by both wrapping it up and Iraq/Afghanistan and NOT toying around with Iran, something which both parties are actively supporting (the Democrats much more subtle about it). That second part is why I cannot vote for McCain, because he sings and dances like a creepy leprechaun about bombing Iran, which is the opposite of what we should do.

"It may just be that Wall Street prefers a return to an economy similar to the Clinton economy over watching the dollar lose all of its value and that will require allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire.
Wall STreet support for Obama says little about Obama but MUCH about their fear for the economy under McBush. Had Hilary been the nominee they would be supporting her."

Posted by danni

Please explain how allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will restore the value of the dollar, especially when the money that would be collected is already committed to "new" spending should Obama be president.

"I will gladly give you a knife and take out your eyes with a car antennae then whip you till you cry like a little girl."

LOL! A car antennae?

I can see boob now: He hears someone breaking in, so what does he do? He swiftly runs downstairs into his garage, and promptly starts trying to yank off his car's antennae. At this point, his only chance of survival is to have forgotten to close his robe, and scare off the criminal when he turns to face him.

If McCain is making his service part of his qualifications for the presidency, then scrutinize it hardcore. It was fair for Kerry and it's fair for McCain.

Nope, until further notice, these are pro-Hillary Democrats.

FWThom and Danni debating each other is like two midgets competing in the high jump.

"I already did, twice:

--DANFORTH

Your notion that they can help Bush fuck things up with Iran for no other reason than to win more political power and still be sincerely anti-war is pathetic, to the point that I think you just want to argue about it for no good reason.

A dictionary might help, but I doubt it:

sincere [sin-seer]
1. free of deceit, hypocrisy, or falseness; earnest: a sincere apology.
2. genuine; real: a sincere effort to improve; a sincere friend.
3. pure; unmixed; unadulterated.

"Nonsense. They're showing their desire to gain the WH is paramount, just as I stated.

It's like someone one point ahead in a Q&A game, answering every question the same as the opponent, just to assure a victory. The current Dems have no spine; we've known that for an age."

Posted by Danforth

I don't deny that they're trying to gain the WH at all costs.

But if they're willing to sacrifice their anti-war positions to gain the WH, by supporting escalating operations in Iran, doesn't that show that they "are not sincere about their anti-war positions"? Would you like to explain how they can be both sincerely anti-war, and willing to go ahead with the Bush administration's escalation of covert operaitons just to gain the WH?

"dis squat" = "did squat"

obviously...

You're free to show where I claimed McCain's demands "dis squat" to legislation in the HoR.

You're also free to take a course in reading comprehension.

"I wouldn't say that."
--DANFORTH

With their support of messing around in Iran, they are showing exactly that.

From another thread:

The wiki article, for example, states
"With the added transferability provisions for continued military service, Sen. McCain has said he now supports the bill because it encourages additional service beyond three years, mitigating his earlier concerns."

Posted by Danforth

Not quite the same as "he supported the bill once he knew it was going to pass".

"Democrats lack enough votes to get it stopped SG2. Of course a trool like You wouldn't understand that."

Posted by LarryMohr

What a doofus.

First Iraq; now Iran.

Should the republicans be blamed for Democratic support of escalations against Iran?

Will you be one of the doofuses claiming the Democrats were lied to by the republicans when the coming Iran war goes south?

History will repeat itself.

The Democrats as a whole are not sincere about their anti-war positions. The little guy at the bottom of the party ladder might be, but your precious leadership isn't!

I can see it now; sometime in the next decade, when the Iran war is going very badly, all of the "anti-war" Democrats suggesting that Bush/McCain lied them into yet another war.

In other words, some members of the Democratic leadership—Congress has been under Democratic control since the 2006 elections—were willing, in secret, to go along with the Administration in expanding covert activities directed at Iran, while the Party’s presumptive candidate for President, Barack Obama, has said that he favors direct talks and diplomacy.
