  • You don't have to be a Republican to like this...

    ....but it helps. Probably been around the email circuit for awhile but its the first time I saw it and thought I share it with the rest of Apolytoners.

    The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money.


    A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:


    A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.


    A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.


    A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.


    A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.

    The Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking but consider this:

    It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

    It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

    It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick.

    It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!!!

    Man our military is GREAT !

        I didn't realize that the raid on the Branch Davidian compound, Hillary's tardiness in producing the Rose Law Firm records, or Ted Kennedy's losing his oldsmobile cost the American tax payers billions of dollars, nor did I realize that thousands of people died as a result of said events. Ah well, I guess you learn something new every day.

          Bush II is putting Reagan to shame in terms of deficit spending. The dif with Reagan is that the national debt grew a much higher percentage because it had been relatively low before Reagan came in.

          Bush will really have to work hard and get a second term to increase the national debt the same percentage as Reagan, but he's skinning Reagan in the raw numbers.

              It's a lot easier to kill people who you don't consider equal then it is your own citizens.

              How long's it taken you to find Osama?

              It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick.
              WTF does that have to do with anything?

                  Uhm, you haven't signed a peace treaty yet, right? Therefore, you haven't taken Iraq.

                    I didn't know that there was a bounty on those records.
