""He's (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that."

Bad thing to be extolling to a high school honors class, since it's a lie.

When I said this in the previous comment, "You are a partisan as indicated by the posts you make here on Olyblog." I am basing what I think by what you say here. Here you have the option and the ability to set the record straight, but instead you seem to choose to change the subject. I don’t know you personally, nor have I known you long enough to know what you said in the past about the Clinton administration. I don’t argue that, and I clearly was not my point.

You are supporting the use of tax payer monies to be used on something that is clearly going to go no where. I think an honest person would see that although it may be meaningful to those who support such a use of money, it will not end with any impeachment hearings. This was pointed out to you, and you have so far ignored the point made, by me and by ‘Paul’. There’s other more pressing and important issues than the ‘state impeachment memorial’.

As I said before, I don’t buy for a second that your intentions are altruistic. You do not ON THIS BLOG treat liberals and conservatives the same. If I am wrong would you please show me where I missed a post of yours that would demonstrate this? I would gladly take back my claim that you have a double standard when it comes to holding judges or politicians or community members accountable. Until then, I have no reason to stop pointing out that you are a partisan operating with an ultra left agenda.

As for this comment from you “I seriously question your willingness and ability to listen Chris. You're free to disagree, preferably in a respectful manner. But I don't appreciate being chided for my beliefs and views.” Robert, I am asking direct questions and getting no direct answers. Yet you think I am not listening. I do not appreciate your suggestion that I am being disrespectful. Disagreement is not disrespect, but you know that I am sure. There is nothing uncivil in asking about your motives and your past behavior. Lastly I don’t appreciate your beliefs and views wasting money of the Washington State tax payers. If what you support uses tax money, people have the right and obligation to understand why that money is being spent. None of us is above scrutiny or criticism.

One of the great non sequiturs of the left is that, if the free market doesn't work perfectly, then it doesn't work at all-- and the government should step in.

Thanks for the bit about honesty. I do make a sincere and wholehearted effort to be honest and truthful - period. I think it's critical to living a good life.

I will have to disagree with you about impeachment. I think it is critical to the future of the USA to hold thorough and impartial investigations into impeachable offenses alleged to have been committed by Bush/Cheney et al..

Chris, do you work for the Republican Party?
