"...So CBS News did an investigation - asking all 50 states for their suicide data, based on death records, for veterans and non-veterans, dating back to 1995. Forty-five states sent what turned out to be a mountain of information.

And what it revealed was stunning.

In 2005, for example, in just those 45 states, there were at least 6,256 suicides among those who served in the armed forces. That’s 120 each and every week, in just one year..."

I had already read those articles you referenced, when they actually came out. but you haven't read the books i suggested you read. it seems to me you'll have to read "1984" first, as a primer.

I voted for JFK, but i suppose i would choose hitler, if only to put him on trial for his war crimes.

hm good point. well they don't have to have any. perhaps its better to ask, "until everybody who wants firsts has had..."

My racist what?

so basically, you completely concede on all the facts. you have relegated your arguments to ad homonym attacks, that have nothing to do with the subject matter at hand, and so in the end, you will walk away, just as much a victim of the right wing economy destruction machine as you were before. you will have learned nothing, and you will still proudly imagine you're right, because you have done nothing to bother looking at the actual facts. your head is squarely in the sand.

how are you actually any different from them? blind from facts, violent, name calling, bigoted... can you really identify any differences between them and yourself? maybe you should change your ways if you're ashamed of your type.

ya go to google news to see what they've shut down... hundreds of smoke belching steel plants and the like... i'm sure some people run a tight ship, but without regulations, anything goes in china. its sad to think they have to resort to shutting down industry to give the illusion of clean air.

well he never flip flopped, really. he still would tell you he'd have voted against it. he'll still take credit for it. its more of a lie than a flip flop.

as for va funding, that's what is more directly affected here. and of course he has been strongly against that as well.

and also he has been against funding for vests, boots, support materials.

there is hardly a shadow of the support system that was in place in the wake of WWII due to constant republican cuts in the non-crony parts of the military budget.

unfortunately there is not much room in the question to cover all that.

thank you for pointing it out though :-)

see, this is a typical problem with right wingers such as yourself.

The tax policies are thieving. they are stealing trillions from us that we must pay in interest. every single dollar bush gave as a tax cut had to be borrowed, because we were already in 6.5 trillion of debt the day he got into office. we were finally starting to pay down that debt under clinton, but bush took care of that immediately.

do you know how much it costs to borrow a dollar as the federal government? i bet you never bothered to figure that out since you're spending too much time making silly attacks on anybody who bothers to dig up the actual facts. and of course you won't find anybody disputing the facts from david cay johnston's books, because the numbers speak for themselves and come straight from the government, when its being truthful at least.

the fact is each borrowed dollar bush has spent, (and that means every dollar he has ever spent) costs $4.85 more in interest alone, just to pay back. that's an astounding amount to pay, just so that we can give tax cuts to people making more than $10 million a day. that's why his policies are thieving. everything bush does is to help some small group of cronies. you're not in one of those groups. so he has cost you dearly in ways you will never imagine.

but as a good nazi, you will not care what suffering you must endure. you would do well in burma, which is the endgame of rightwing rule... take a look at conditions there. its what your party wants for the whole world. 1-5 rich families, and billions in abject poverty. the right wing utopia.
