How about "economy"? "North Korea"? "Homeland Security"?

So when's this moron's term gonna be over?
What a scum sucking, low life, butt munching, piece of crap.
1. From where I sit, the economy is fine.

2. Nuke North Korea on the way home. Dump a couple on Cuba and end that headache as well. China will self implode. I'm confident of this. It's like an economy that wants to grow, but can't. Can you say civil war???

3. Homeland Security... Reminds me of Military Intelligence. After serving for 10 years, I can tell you, there is very little Intelligence in the Military. Too many people with too little common sense. CIA, FBI, ATF, INS, and Coast Guard all rolled into one. Not a bad idea. One big organization from 5. Sure it's big, but it's a pretty lean organization at this point. God help us when the bureaucrats get in there and take over. Ever wonder why Bush wanted those positions to be at will? In time, this will be self explained.

4. How the hell did we get on this topic. I thought it was about Markey?

You talk about detonating nuclear weapons in nearly the same thought as common sense. Glad to see you thought that out.

Well, the first question to ask here is whether any of your "loyal subjects" really want to fight a war...

Markey ran unopposed along with half of the other represenatives in Massachusetts. I was desperately hoping somebody would beat him. Seems like any competant citizen can become a representative there.

The 2 party system is messed up. Far right wing republicans are too traditional and literal christian and far left wing democrats have no agenda, spend all of their time bashing republicans, and trying to fit in with other democrats.

It seems that our pal has finally gone over the deep end. Rep. Markey was recently committed. Hopefully he'll find the help he needs.


In my opinion, we had two choices. I voted for the guy with a personality who had the ability to pull people together. He has done that time and again, both prior to 9-11 and after.

So, you voted for Bill Clinton?

Grr.... Mr. Markey, you're making a mockery out of my home state. Give it up, and deal with something important, you half-assed, selfish, uneccesary waste of a politician. No one likes you, and you only got voted in because you're in the smallest, most ass-backward county of MA, and had enough money to buy everyone off.

God Bless Ted Kennedy; the only senator from MA with any sense whatsoever (despite his drunkenness).j

Proof possitive that politicians know it is now the validity of an issue that eventually makes it a law, but rather how hard you push for it and who makes the most noise. This may one day become a law just because congress is tired of hearing about it.
