    Bush lied and ignored Hans Blix's reports from the IAEA which refuted all claims of WMD.

    I’m probably the only one who believes Bill Clinton because I went to a A party where they were doing cocaine and I didn’t snort!

    The Clintons paid even more to defend themselves against bogus charges arising from White Water. Plus Billy Jeff lost his lawyer's license.

    You paid for public schools? I like your suggestion give vouchers to the richest Americans who would be the only ones who could afford private schools because they would have to put up another few thousand dollars.

    Agreed public education isn't free since it's paid for with taxes, but disagree with "where ever they like" since most of those taxes are local and state with only 9% or less being Federal. Ergo, vouchers should only apply without county of residence or be determined by each state, not the Feds.

    Blix ?? They had no access. Read Duelfer’s book “Hide and Seek” and learn the truth.

    William Shirer plowed the Hitler topic so deep one felt like we were on the same path as Hitler when he exposed Adolph. Funny he left out the part about Hitler supposedly as a religious man. Shirer mentioned one religion and it was the Episcopalian. (connected to the Hitler family) I checked all references to Catholic and nothing at all about Hitler going to church. Wonder why some want him to be a Catholic?

    From an Iraqi General to your eyes.

    He admits Saddam had them. More, on a forum happens to be an Army officer who with his men located some WMD. He told the forum what he found and how he picked it up.

    My point was mostly over lying. Too many Democrats and republicans and intelligence types told Bush of the WMD. Bush would be nuts to deny all of their stories. Clinton told them as well.

    Taxes fund education and students with vouchers should be able to use for a quality education. The vouchers would come from state tax revenues.

    Here in California where I know our laws the best the school funding is taken from property taxes. The county assessor sends notices to the owners who see the itemized items on the tax bill.

    In California, it is county revenues and not the general fund.

    Dont you read a newspaper? Sanford and Vitter both apologized for their actions...and they quit and then the hypocrites re-elected them,. You know the party of family values
    You are aware that sexual abuse is done privately. The fact that Franken had someone take pictures makes it quite obvious that he thought it was funny. Even though it shouldn’t have been funny...i doubt if she was traumatized the same way a 14-year-old girl was and now as a woman not being believed. So you are saying that eight women who all had similar experiences are all liars. You are saying that the 30+ women who accused Weinstein and Cosby are all liars. You are saying that the 14 women who had similar experiences with Trump are all liars even though he admitted he did those acts. This is why women didn’t come forward and now they are coming forward and believed...Maybe not by men like you but by people who understand what circumstantial evidence is

    No, though renters do not pay the county taxes, the landlord factors in taxes in the rent. The school funds are in the county fund used to fund schools.

    The truth is in the middle or, more accurately, Bush didn't lie but he's guilty of confirmation bias although I think Cheney and Rumsfeld were more guilty of it.

    Therefore, each state should make the decision on how to dispense tax revenues.

    funny how certain politicians condemn Iraq and North Korea for not complying with UN resolutions on nukes but those same pols ignore Israel's failure to comply with other UN resolutions - on top of that, Bush ignored Blix's IAEA reports

    too bad that somehow it is divinely ordained that Republicans are not to be held accountable for their noncompliance

    The idea is to stop nuclear proliferation, once they have them, it's a done deal. Notice that no one is complaining about India and Pakistan either. OTOH, according to this link, Israel is only presumed to have nukes. They could be bluffing since there is no evidence they've ever tested a weapon or actually have any.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons
    Israel is widely believed to have been the sixth country in the world to develop nuclear weapons, but has not acknowledged its nuclear forces. It had "rudimentary, but deliverable," nuclear weapons available as early as 1966. Israel is not a party to the NPT. Israel engages in strategic ambiguity, saying it would not be the first country to "introduce" nuclear weapons into the region, but refusing to otherwise confirm or deny a nuclear weapons program or arsenal. This policy of "nuclear opacity" has been interpreted as an attempt to get the benefits of deterrence with a minimum political cost.

    Blix's reports were meaningless. The UN resolutions on Israel are garbage. That's why the US should get out of the UN. It's a waste of time.

    Moore is an anti-Christian fanatic.

    His perversion of Christianity is as virulent as his his depraved predations upon young women.

    His perverted pronouncement that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were a punishment from a God upset with the U.S. because “we legitimize sodomy” and “legitimize abortion" is sacrilegious as a matter of Christian doctrine.

    The Chrisitian God does not massacre thousands of innocent human beings, not even to demonstrate his contempt for molesters of teenage girls.
