  How would you know since you don't read my posts?

  Muslim nations must never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

  It's a little late for that. Pakistan, a country which borders Iran, already has them.

  Europe and just about every other US ally are presenting a united front against Iran, but I've never heard of any similar justifications used to…

  tkoind2/Sez....I've heard this quite a bit....the same people who insist the US is just about to invade are the same people who insist that the US cannot invade.

  The only thing I can conclude is that this is Bush Derangement syndrome in hyperdrive.

  This is, like the anti-Semitism card described…

  I am not anti-semitic, before you accuse me of it.

  This comment reminded me of Norman Finkelstein's Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History in which he notes the tendency of some defenders of the Jewish state to use spurious charges of anti-Semitism to deflect…

  Sen. McCain seems to be consistantly picking advisors with shady backgrounds and unfortunate connections......

  Gramm was a Professor of Economics at the University of Texas, as was his wife, before he ran for the Senate. McCain probably thought his academic pedigree would provide evidence of credibility in economic matters. But…

  Altria,

  Someone here told me I should read the Washington Times so I did look to see what Gramm had actually said. Among other observations, he feels "the constant drubbing of the media on the economy's problems is one reason people have lost confidence."

  Really? How about every time they…

  Sushi,

  Gramm is from Texas. His wife [according to wiki] called for deregulation of the energy industry. Previously, [Wendy] Gramm held several positions in the Reagan Administration, including heading the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 1988 to 1993. After a lobbying campaign from Enron, the CFTC exempted it from regulation…

  Gramm has revealed himself to be, dare I say it, an "elitist." He and his wife also made a tidy sum off of their Enron connections.

  “a nation of whiners” and suggesting the country is in a “mental recession.”

  No, I don't think so. I visited Maine recently where residents are concerned their 2009 winter heating bills could go as high as five grand. That concern extends all the way across the snow belt I'm sure:…

  Bush is using diplomacy with Iran.

  No, other countries which have diplomatic relations with Iran are the ones doing the talking:

  The Europeans have -- together with Moscow and Beijing and on behalf of Washington -- repeatedly presented Iran with a list of benefits it would receive if it agreed…
