    You didn't listen to the question did you? :lol:

    He didn't ask Bush to define tribal sovereignty. He asked . . .

    "Mr. President you have been a governor and a president, so you have a unique experience looking at it from two directions. What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century and how do we resolve conflicts between tribes and the federal and state governments."

    A perfectly straightforward question asking the President about something he should have had a grasp of.

    again, he was simply asking him to define what words from the dictionary mean.

    No, he wasn't. Read the damned question! He was asking what indian tribal soverignty means to state and federal government when conflicts occur.

    You blundered and you can't talk your way out of it.

    you should choose to be critical of his actual policy. this sort of thing makes you appear to be a partisan hack.

    but he is a partisan hack,

    Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone.

    it takes one to know one.....you call him a partisan hack and then quote Ayn Rand? Are we supposed to believe that you are the iconic image of impartiality?

    ayn rand represents a consistent philosphy. a partisan hack sides with a party regardless of the inconsistency of their philosophy. ayn rand would favor the lower taxes of the republicans while also opposing their social controls. having a consistent philosophy is the opposite of being a mindless partisan hack. lasalle attacks politicians because they are republicans. thats hackery. attacking a politican for their philospohy is not hackery. thats the whole point.

    lasalle is far more likely to post a youtube vid of a republican doing somehting stupid. this is not because democrats dont say stupid things. it is because lasalle is a partisan hack.

    the non-hack is aware that everyone says stupid things all the time and doesnt care. hacks are not concerned with issues, just stupid tribalism "my team is better" nonsense.

    No it doesn't. Once again you are contradicting yourself, Martin. If LaSalle criticizes the Republican party what in the hell do you think he is actually criticizing? To criticize either the Republican or Democratic party is to criticize their philosophy of governance. So, to restate my previous statement: It takes one to know one. If criticizing the Republican party or their philosophy of governing makes LaSalle a hack then, by that same standard, Frogleg is also a hack. Think before you speak.

    Ayn Rand is like red meat for conservatives and you know that as well as I. She opposed all forms of government, unemployment insurance, support for the poor and middle-class, regulation of industry and government provisions for roads or other infrastructure. She also insisted that law enforcement, defense and the courts were the only appropriate arenas for government, and that all taxation should be purely voluntary.

    Sound familiar? So, to go back to my original statement: Frogleg quoting Ayn Rand in a political forum tells me that Frogleg is a conservative and for him to quote Ayn Rand and in the same breath to call LaSalle a partisan hack is like the pot calling the kettle black.

    Frog, Now you can't vote for anyone that drinks sodas cause it is linked to being obese. Plus it is addictive and you wouldn't want someone in office that has an addictive habit would you? Guess you won't be voting.
