Old Hippie

Who?

Gotta admit, this Mic knows the score...

I remember a meeting at Woodstock, when some guy showed up, young guy, nice enough (means he bought a round), but no one understood a word he was saying...turns out, he was from Scotland. Men in skirts aside, any country that makes whiskey that good/well is ok with me......

Hmmm...ok, I'll take a shot here...one difference is, people can choose not to drive, but they CANNOT choose whether to get sick/injured or not. As for SSI...it has been argued that forcing us to participate lessons the chances of a person becoming a total burden on society in their old age...not really sure which is more cost effective however...

A typical Scottish lassie. Not the ones I've seen... Though there was a girl in my University, lived on my dorm floor as a matter of fact, who was heavily into the scottish dancing thing...great body...but never shared it with anyone...that useless bitch!

Is that a Scottish katoey?

Or any of the conservative reps who get "caught with their pants down..." Who was the guy who said "morality and ethics have no place in politics...?" Churchill?

Well someone has to explain the concept to the conservatives...

His name was Lauhuli...not sure I spelled it right.

No, I do find you at all appealing. The fact that you want to appeal to me only reinforces my previous ruling.

Yep we are supposedly still pzying for Reagan's crap...most likely other presidents crap as well. Obama...well yes, we will be paying for his mess aswell as the mess GWB left for him/us. Now, I say you move over the border to Oregon or Nevada, they have Golden Corrals that we can meet at for lunch! I'll title my car there, and all will be happy! Seriously, you'd save a bundle moving to another state, Nevada among them...no state tax...

Rulings: USV: Gay suspect. ACOCKasian: Habanero Pepper gay!

No, I am referring to all the money Ronnie spent breaking the soviet union...we are still paying for it, and will be for a long time. Sadly, we didn't learn from the Soviet folly in Afghanistan, and are repeating their mistake. But that is all Obama's fault. If Obama hadn't created and armed the Taliban, none of this would ever have happened. Why do you stay in California if you hate it so much? no one is holding a gun to your head making you stay. You are free to leave anytime you want...so well, feel free.

Fuck-ups of epic proportion are costly. Our grandchildrens' grandchildren (the world over) will still be paying for GWB's damage. We are still paying for the damage Regan caused, so will our kids...the debt is not going away, EVER...no matter who is in charge...so Chapter 7 or 13 looks good... Funny thing, Cali has a cash crunch, so they may give out tax refund "I.O.U.s" this year, I owe state taxes, so am considering giving them an IOU, payment later, no idea when, and no interest, the same terms they set...

I went to wiki and got this... Link Might have been more of a deposition type thing...1990, so he was no longer president.

Ron definitely testified, I don't think he was president at the time. This was when he said "...I don't recall/remember..." like 137 times...I need to go back and check it all. Yeah, while I can see a dirty deal being done, as in it wouldn't surprise me either way, I also have some issue with how it could be pulled off or why. The Iranians had no way of knowing who was going to win, so why make a deal with Ron? As you point out, the Iranians were better off with lame assed Carter, then with Ron, UNLESS there was a deal made...of course a dirty Sanchez could have been pulled and it could have all gone to hell fast. I do know there were some law suits filed on this, but not sure if any are still current. I do recall that some of the hostages were suing trying to get some of the frozen Iranian assets as well as whatever they might get from any of Ron's dealings. But no idea what the current is.

"Teflon Ron" got away with a lot. Iran Contra really didn't come to a full head until later. In fact, I don't recall really hearing about the hostage thing until after he was out of office. If I recall, he was out of office when he testified and forgot things like how many times? True or not, it just wouldn't surprise me either way. I do seem to recall reading that a few high ranking Iranians claim it is true...if you can trust them to tell the truth. This is probably one of those things where we will never really know the truth.

I knew about the chemical gas stuff he used on the Kurds, maybe others? The big question is what else did he have between gulf war I and Gulf War II? bigger and better question is where is that shit today and who has it? Very real fear would be that he gave it to another country to be used against us later. Hostage thing...it is out there for discussion. In the end we have to decide what we believe based on the reports, and who is or is not credible in presenting these facts.

Your post inquiring about dancing boys in Afghanistan spoke volumes about you. This, coupled with the fact that "weapon of mass destruction" is a gay euphemism, can only lead us to where you are trying to go with this statement. As for Iraq having them...apparently they did not, other than the ones we may have given them...

Show me this. Here is a ton of crap to look at and get you started...what you consider credible is up to you. But there has been a lot said and published on the subject. True or not' date=' you decide. But would it really surprise you if it was true? In other words, do you believe everything the government (regardless of side/party) tells you? All sorts of dirty deals are done all the time, and this would not surprise me if it is true. Now let me get the foil in my hat... Link

Yeah, look that lousy socialist really fucked the country good...of course us liberal tin hats just don't get how bad...I mean, Iran Contra, The hostages...the wars, the economy...all becuase that lousy bastard wanted us to health care...what a communist thought...

You seem to have a distorted view of the reality of the October surprise...seems Old Ronnie arranged to have the hostages held a bit longer in excahnge for some "gifts" later on...but I won't bother you with facts and reality...Ronnie was a saint...never faced impeachment etc...no such thing as Iran contra or anything of the sort...no doubt Obama was behind it all anyway...

Carter lost for a lot of reasons, mainly because he was seen as weak. But that does NOT excuse what Ronnie pulled...If I were one of those held, I'd be suing the Regan estate as well as who ever else they are suing...like it or not, and I know it hurts you HH, but Regan fucked those people for his own gain, and he should have paid for it, and those hurt by it deserve compensation.

How so? elaborate please...
