   Scootter, they do not kiss the cheeks. The lips never touch the cheeks. So much for your knowledge on greeting etiquettes.

   Moonbattery is not a replacement for well thought out responses and common sense arguments.

   The mayor of Denver has told the cops to suspend the enforcement of marijuana laws during the Democrat convention. Yeah, that’s the tickets. Tell the cops to look the other way. A mayor with moral rectitudes.

   Yashmak, you gave bush the little armchair warrior another four years over a veteran, way to show support! Theres your reverence.

   – Scoot

   I favored a vet over a vet. . .that’s reverence? At any rate, I’d vote the same again in a heartbeat, if it was between Bush and Kerry. I haven’t forgotten how Kerry flipped and flopped like a fish out of water. Apparently you have.

    No, Scooter. You see, I favor drilling and using our own domestic oil and have the United States get out of the foreign oil dependency; especially from unstable countries. Again, and remember, use cogent arguments and intelligent responses. Meanwhile, I’ll get my popcorn ready for DNC.

    very good vicki!! but military service isn’t a pre-requisite for being POTUS no matter what your husband tells you.

    yes Kokonut, that should solve all of our woes. But just remember we didnt build 4 mega bases and an Embassy the size of Vatican City to do what you’re in favor of, we are there for the ME oil. Seems as though you want your cake and eat it too. Was that cogent enough for you?

    Um, Iraq broke the cease fire agreement in the Gulf War. The UN was “nice” enough to issue 17 UN resolutions to try and get Saddam to comply after about a decade. If the UN doesn’t have the wills nor the means to actually enforce their UN resolutions they shouldn’t be in the business of handing out UN resolutions to some despot country knowing they’ll never go in and enforce it. It took the U.S. and the coalition to get the job done, son.

    There were no invasion per se but it was basically the resumption of the Gulf War to enforce the cease fire agreement that Saddam broke…repeatedly.

    Again, like I said, please use cogent arguments.

    Well, that was a neat and tidy summation, Kokonut. But you did forget one thing. The “imminent threat” posed to the world by Saddam Hussein, due to his possession of weapons of mass destruction and his ties to al Quaeda.

    Saddam’s alleged possession of WMD was why the administration told the American people this war was necessary. It’s why we got talk of “mushroom clouds.” It’s why many, including John McCain, linked the anthrax attacks to Saddam. McCain played it coy on David Letterman:

    MCCAIN: I think we’re doing fine . . . I think we’ll do fine. The second phase — if I could just make one, very quickly — the second phase is Iraq. There is some indication, and I don’t have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may — and I emphasize may — have come from Iraq.

    You’d think former Saturday Night Live host McCain might have said this on a news program, since he’s not much for being a “celebrity,” but, alas, we’re just bound to be disappointed.

    The Anthrax and Iraq connection was most feverishly made by Brian Ross of ABC, The Weekly Standard, and the American Enterprise Institute, the latter two basing much of their argument on ABC’s “reporting,” which was based on 4 unnamed government sources.

    Unfortunately, none of these charges turned out to be true. By most estimates, Saddam ended his weapons programs in 1991 and may have only planned on resuming them if and when sanctions were lifted. (And finding scraps and remnants of long abandoned programs does not count, especially if you’ve sold the American people on “imminent threats” and “mushroom clouds.”) And Saddam’s ties to al Quaeda are suspect, at best. (As has been confirmed in countless ways, be it by the 9/11 Commission, George Tenet, the Senate Intelligence Subcommittee, etc. This has, of course, been swatted away with what I think of as the “Hitchens argument” which cites, ad nauseum, the harboring of Zarquawi in Iraq. And this argument was then debunked by a CIA report in ‘04. Not to mention the animosity between Zarquawi and Bin Laden, which would not exactly strengthen the argument that Hussein and Zarquawi’s “relationship” = ties to Bin Laden.)

    So, if it were just about upholding disobeyed UN resolutions, why then present it to the American people as much, much more?

    No, gotta include liberation and democracy. They wouldn’t have it without us. It wasn’t simply about removing a dictator. It was about freeing the whole country from him. And a good thing, too. I see you’re quite adamant on preferring that the Iraqis have less freedom.

    Gotcha.

    If this were a Hollywood set for a game show or awards show, it would be appropriate. But for a “green” convention for a party worried about “global warming” and “carbon offsets” (not to mention bizarre food theories), it’s far too much.

    Scooter, both President Bush and Senator Kerry are veterans by virtue of their having fulfilled their contracts in the military or being in a war zone. Lack of having been in a war is not a result of how good a soldier one is or how well one is trained. But, as been pointed out, THAT election is over. In the current contest, Obama has no military experience and McCain has years of honorable service in the Navy. Whatever one thinks of his political views and behavior, we all owe him respect for his military service.

    (And let’s hope that the RNC has a much more appropriate set.)

    I won’t comment (much) on the appearance of the convention stage, since the GOP’s may be just as flamboyant. Interesting how the top of stage towers literally over the people, though, a bit like Fremont Street in Vegas.

    Yeah, Michelle, how the heck did you get to be a part of this? Don’t forget your safety helmet. Earplugs might also occasionally be beneficial. I’m looking forward to your reports.

    It looks like the Dems have invited 50-60 students from each local high school to the Pepsi Center. My son’s school gave the invites to the AP American History students, if they wanted to go.

    My son asked me and I told him sure! What a great opportunity to hear their crap first hand! We’re sending a camera with him.

    So if you’re there Monday night Michelle, look out for Golden High School and say Hi.

    BTW, Denver has voted a couple of times to decriminalize marijuana or make it the lowest enforcement priority. This is nothing new.

    Just saw the rendition of the GOP convention stage on Hot Air. Scratch my previous speculation on its flamboyance. I like it. Clean, sharp, to the point. I also saw the other pictures of the DNC stage. Yeesh, kinda like M.C. Escher on acid. Very busy, almost headache-inducing. Doesn’t exactly evoke a feeling of patriotism. Also scratch my comment about not commenting.

    I wonder how much of the stage and it;s lights, etc were mad with a petroleum based product? All that stuff had to get to the Pepsi center somehow, and that was by truck, so in reality 100% of the stage was made with oil.
