in this case, it's not an issue of 'politicians are hypocrites'. at issue is the fake patriotic rhetoric of the entire rightwing that pilloried clinton for Kosovo while US troops were active over there and are now wrapping themselves up in the flag claiming that anyone who speaks against the president is a traitor and actively undermining the troops. here is the american legion doing just that, compare the 2 statements: http://billmon.org/archives/002107.html

so called 'reality tv'

the most amazing part is that someone supporting regimes that have murdered 100,000's in latin america would make such remarks. and for the record i have never supported any such regimes or any other that look like them. there, it's settled, we can move away from the smears and the wingnut rhetoric!

chavez won the vote in 1998, 2000 et 2004 with ~60% of the vote so i am not sure what you are talking about. Venezuela's Voters Have Spoken Hugo Chávez won fair and square. BY JIMMY CARTER and hitler came to power with ~ 1/3 of the vote.

doing the ice face and the top of the north ridge is imo way more classic. there is something to be said for mixed climbs. though, the shrund may be out of condition. in any case, both lines are worth doing.

"it's because they hate our Lance"

a 200k snaffle problem? i have had the occasional stinky ones in the walls (posums are worse), now i trap em (live )

how did you know before the study was finished?

so which way did you go on that first pitch (right or left?). i remember thinking it was a harder lead than 5.6 with boots and a full pack (i eventually went left)

so according to this clown of the American Enterprise Institute (neo-con/libertarian think-tank/PP's best friends), when only 50% of the people can vote and effectively own property (the US in 1900), you have democracy.

hey dipshit, you are not going to answer my question?

not once but multiple times in spite of our funding of a recall. it'd probably be difficult to find a more representative gvt in latin america today. oh! you mean it's not the defense of individual liberty ... pinochet style

yeah, a right wing extremist who would see president carter as a chavez supporter because he thinks land reform is better than oligarchic rule and you think your rightwing-goon-finger-pointing-on-the-internet style makes you look like what? i have always been clear about what i stood for: i am for agrarian reform, for democratic rule, against rule by the oligarchy and military. as i said chavez may have napoleonic tendencies that have to be kept in check but he is way better than anything that venezuela ever had or any of the murderous puppets you support in latin america.

per usual, your paranoia leads you to overstate your case with grossly inflated numbers (it's 100,000 guns). if there was less saber rattling on the colombian border, and incursions by paramilitaries perhaps venezuela would not feel like they have to increase troop numbers? duh! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4377481.stm exactly what rumsfeld said. you are in good company

a what? don't bother to try providing credible evidence we know it's inexistent. don't forget your pal pinochet is now facing jail.

are you referring to the coup d'etat against an elected government that the bush administration was supporting within hours? never so many people have voted in venezuela and chavez is ever more popular. he may have some napoleonic tendencies that have to be kept in check but he is a vast improvement over the rule of the oligarchy. if you don't give him the opportunity to centralize power for fear of a military intervention, it may just turn out all right. but this isn't what you care about, access to the 2nd largest heavy crude oil reserve in the world is what you want.

both. but how many moderate alpine rock climbs are better than the Beckey-Chouinard on Howser in NAmerica? Bear DNB is more remote and has more of a wilderness feel.

which shows the depth of your anti-democratic beliefs. shame ...

bullshit, he is saying exactly what you were thinking and advocating the policies you have consistently supported.

indeed, you do, which is why the personal attacks are even more incomprehensible.

your "the end justifies the means" real politic is bankrupt and will always bring us blowback of the worse kind. instead of fostering democratic movement in the developing world, as you should have if you ever believed in democracy, you have agitated the spector of communism and now terror to keep access to resources and markets. the rest is just pretense.

succintly argued . you keep calling me an idiot but you never told us why. perhaps today you'll grant us with an explanation ... i now fully expect you to ignore the question.

the way i post is fine, even though it doesn't suit your extreme right wing point of view hey Piss Pot, being progressive doesn't mean being spineless and responding with restraint to your lies. you support islamo-fascists when expedient, you support drug runners when expedient. you support thugs when expedient (and even support training them). basically, by association, like your agents you are a thug. let me also note that you failed to provide any evidence to support your assertions, and for good reason ... because you were lying.
