This time the subject will be: "Building a Future Together: Alternatives to the Israeli- Pa ...

532 [lbo-talk] good news: most Americans don't think God caused hurricanes -- rank: 1000

I have always been confused by this. How can someone who is religious say that Mr.Non-existent is NOT the cause of global warming or hurricanes, if he, in his non-existence, is the cause of everything and IS everything (though he is nothing)? If you believe in god, you are obligated to think everything is his/her, her/his, or their fault... I say so!!!!! Else you are just contradictory...which I guess is par for the course in believing that nonsense about Mr.Non-existence existing anyway... (sor ...

534 [lbo-talk] Mr. Whoring Sour-Grapes Peres has proved me wrong -- rank: 1000

Though I have always said that Peres was a political slut par excellance, and would join any coalition that would have him... Well, I just thought that explicitly backing Sharon's against his own Labor Party candidate was stooping too low even for Peres... But I was wrong... He did it.... I still do think that there is a long way to go before the elections and we can't be sure how Peres' backing Sharon will impact Kadima's numbers. Of the electorate, Kadima's constituency is made up much more of ...

"The surveys must be treated with caution, as they comes in the wake of the euphoria over Sharon's dramatic quitting of the Likud. Past experience has shown that new parties tend to drop after an initial period of success in the surveys, and that voters tend to return to familiar patterns when it comes to election day." --------------------------- http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/648262.html Polls: Sharon beats Labor, secures third term as PM By Yossi Verter, Haaretz Correspondent, ...

539 [lbo-talk] Sharon shakes things up -- rank: 1000

I agree with Michael that it has been becoming increasingly apparent that Sharon would do this. It is still up in the air whether Peres will complete his transformation into a political whore of the highest degree and join up into a new (one term) party with Sharon. My thought at the moment (flip of the coin) is that, in the end,Peres will think better than to make this move to the "National Responsibility" Party. Even if he does join and it becomes the Sharon/Peres ticket, I think tha ...
