I mistype "the" as "teh" all the time. It's like a typing mental block. I'm sure secretly in the back of my mind I really want "the" to be spelled "teh". It's my little subconscious grass roots campaign. :roll:

I think there are probably less independents, but we also aren't as loud as a group.

If you actually read my post you would have realized I was talking about everyone that has "their guys."
America needs to have good open debate on all issues, but in this era of "my side, your side" we get no debate only two equally stupid and worthless sets of talking points.
What two equally stupid sides did you think I was refering to? :roll:

:roll: Typical FANboi, can not admit when he is wrong. Grow up.
Why not? He and Cheyney can skip the tendering process to line the pockets of their Haliburton friends right?
If there was a gleaming 1776 foot tower standing in New York right now our enemies would be the ones making excuses about why they could not defeat American spirit.

Er...huh? You do realize that's exactly what I was implying would be the criticism the President's detractors would immediately jump to?
I don't really care if there's a hole in the ground in NYC or not... I just think it's extremely silly to put the reconstruction effort on the President's plate. There's nothing the guy can do to speed up reconstruction. Let the people and governments of NY do as they wish, WTF is with this sudden five year timeline that had to be beat?
What is wrong with you people? Can you quit the partisan babble for ten seconds to look at anything objectively anymore?
If you don't care then you have no pride as an American.
Nothing the guy can do to speed up the construction huh? Yeah, you're right he's only THE LEADER OF THE FREE FVCKING WORLD.
It's not a five year timeline that needs beat either. It's an IMMEDIATE timeline. If it was under construction five years later I could understand. These things take time. The fact that NOTHING has happened is a national.. no GLOBAL JOKE.
I wonder if they they are going to let Trent Lott's house stay leveled flat for five years? Stop making excuses for your boy. He sucks and people will do anything to support him.

"Yep, it's easy to sit back and criticize. It's much harder to actually do something about it. Just look at this forum. "
Uh, it's our role to express our opinion and vote accordingly.
Are you suggesting that everyone should become the leader of the country and implement policy? It doesn't work that way. There's room for one president.
Most Americans are in the role of contributing by offering opinions and suggestions.
Or maybe the forum members should just go build their own building on the site, implement their own foreign policy in Iraq, etc. Your criticism makes no sense.
And it's a total whitewash for any accountability for the administration. It's American to push for good government, not to silence those who do.

The president is the only person in the country who is allowed to take any action at all? Start a non-profit organization or a charity. Become a lobbyist. Run for office. If you don't like the way things are being run, change it.
"Somebody oughta do something!"
Yeah, somebody oughta. Just not you. If the only role you want to take is every few years at the ballot, and whining on the internet in between voting years, don't be surprised if things don't go the way you want.
You miss the point boberfett. The point was that citizens were critized for stating their opinions on what should be done.
Since this is not a country of anarchy, but one of government where the society acts cohesively with a representative government and unified actions - there will be one plan for the WTC area, for example, not many different buildings built there - the role of the citizen is not to build the building, but to speak out with their view of what should be done.
You talk about starting a non-profit - fine, but that, too, is neither a replacement for what the one government will do, nor is it something everyone can do - 300 million non-profits would be meaningless. Non-profts can do good, but they are no replacement for the government and citizens ruling the government.
You also suggest running for office. Uh, fine, but again, there is exactly one president, one representative in the House for each citizen. It's not as if everyone should run and then the one person who wins ignores the public. There will always be many citizens and their role is to speak out.
My gosh, are schools still teaching civics?

Your excuse that the president doesn't have the power is weak. He made arrangements for the rebuilding of an entire country in a few months notice. Why can't we get even one brick laid at ground zero?
It's five years later and nothing has been done. There are no excuses left and there is no argument that ANY of you can make that will withstand this sad fact.
Let me repeat that for the dim-witted in the audience:

Go ahead and reply. Go ahead and say ANYTHING you want. I'll just copy-paste that sentence and it will trump your argument.
