bushrocks1,

I'm glad that you realize that you cannot "command" your son, but why don't you go? You could go out in a blaze of fascism. Maybe even be awarded a post-humous medal?

[ganjaman22]

Yea, I don't care what your "white washed" polls say. They lean farther left than my johnson, and my johnson leans left A LOT.

[bushrocks1]

Would I send my son to this war? You might ask would I send him to WW II? Or Vietnam? Maybe you would distinguish those conflicts and whether you would send your son to fight in them. But that question is misdirected in a very important way: I can't command my son to go to war. He has to make that choice. So the better question would be: would I volunteer to fight in Iraq, WW II, Vietnam? Would I volunteer to fight in any war? Respond if drafted? I don%u2019t know. I'm not equivocating, only addressing that it is a hypothetical. As a hypothetical, I can say, sure I'd fight. But I have nightmares of battle (from my past life as a Jacobite). So how do I feel toward those who do volunteer? Impressed but maturely knowing that many things go into their decision. But I do strongly believe that a country who can't find those men is doomed. The fact that we can find them is one reason why I say there is no failure in Iraq. Objectively, I also believe it for other reasons. An attempt to establish democracy in the Middle East is a bold, brilliant, noble effort, facing a high chance of failure. That's why I greatly respect and admire those who have made the attempt--the Bush administration. They have been resolute, something I have not seen in my lifetime. They may not succeed, for reasons outside their control or fault: traitors on the home front, being a big one. But now those traitors have apparently occupied the high ground. Yet... we're still in Iraq. Why?... I'm waiting.

Re: "obviously the liberals are the ones who buy into the 9/11 conspiricy theories"

As I have already demonstrated, only 19% of Americans (Bush regime dead-enders?) believe the official 9/11 whitewash conspiracy.

The Bush Butchers are responsible for the deaths of 655,000 Iraqis, and the humiliation, wrongful imprisonment, torture, and rape of millions more. The Bush regime has already eclipsed the abuses that Saddam was able to inflict over decades, in just a few short years.

Does the boogie-man scare you too?

I'm telling you, man- ease up on the dope! You'll be glad that you did!

[ganjaman22]

Right, it'd probably just be easier to say *In British Accent* You engange in beastiality.

You know, regardless how much you do or don't like Bush or the republican party he represents right now, saying that a vote for the democrats is a vote for Al-Qaeda is ridiculous. Al-Qaeda is a terrorist organization, period. Neither Democrats nor republicans are part of any terrorist group that I am aware of.

I feel this vote represents something else.
When Clinton lied about getting a ***, the republicans were the first to cry for President Clinton%u2019s impeachment citing that lying like that called into question his morals and his ability to lead this nation.

Now it seems that President Bush lied about Iraq%u2019s weapons of mass destruction. We all took it on faith from the President himself that they had these weapons because he told us all he had solid information that they did and now it turns out they really didn%u2019t have any weapons of mass destruction whatsoever. He told us all to trust him on his word and that trust has been broken..

[sylld]

In addition to that:
* the national budget went from a surplus to a deficit in a short amount of time..
* we are now fighting a war many question..
* a lot of people question the motives for going to Iraq in the first place.. (there is no such thing as too much money, come on)
* Osama Bin Laden (who was behind 9/11 after all) is apparently too hard to find despite the fact that he%u2019s an old man on dialysis..
* people didn't like their (assumed private) phone records being collected by the government..
* people didn%u2019t like the plan for the privatization of social security..
* people didn't like the way that plan was being pushed..
I could go on..

[sylld]

Suddenly nobody I know recalls voting for this President.. Suddenly a lot of republican candidates went out of their way not to be associated with President Bush and his policies to the point of rejecting funds for their campaigns out of fear that it would harm their votes.

I think for everyone this world feels a lot less stable and a lot less safe and a lot more threatening now than it did 8 years ago. This isn%u2019t all due to the President, but I think it%u2019s clear that most people feel that he didn%u2019t help the situation. Worrying about an uncertain future makes people wish for better times in the past and obviously the democrats represent those better times during the Clinton regime. How can anyone be surprised the ratings of President Bush have dropped like a rock and that people have massively voted for the Democratic party instead?

By now Iran *is* developing the nuclear weaponry and I think people have lost faith that this President will be the best person to handle this situation and hopefully not plunge us all into an atomic war if it at all can be helped. I think that%u2019s why people who normally might have voted otherwise now voted for the democratic party on such a large scale. That, or maybe we all really did suddenly and inexplicably become in favor of terrorism, but I really doubt it.

Please realize that you represent the American people to the world when you say something stupid.

Re: "Maybe we should have another election and have another president and vice president elected."

We already did that, twice. What good would that do?

Uhm...I was being sarcastic, obviously the liberals are the ones who buy into the 9/11 conspiricy theories. Are you unable to detect sarcasm. I already told you my political stance.

Yea. Why don't you go tell Al-Qaeda to love thy neighbor. I think you'd last all of 10 seconds before they lop your head off for being a freedom loving infidel.

What a charming enemy.

As far as Iraq...Sadam was a power hungry dictator who refused to comply with U.N. weapons inspectors, claimed to have nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons against his own people, slaughtered 10,000s of his own people as well as invaded Saudi Arabia and caused the first Gulf War.

Yeaaaa we should never have gone into Iraq.

[feelfree1]

ganjaman22,

Re: "Yea, I'm sure the 9/11 attacks never even happened, I'm just paranoid."

If this is your belief, I would say that you have moved beyond paranoia, over to dillusional.

Sounds like you have gotten ahold of some bad ganja. All the better reason to ease up on your consumption.

[bushrocks1]

Add one more standing beside the President... They threw out Winston Churchill, too... President Bush will be a legend for for his courage, his willingness to actually do something. Liberal nutjobs will push the Democratic party back into McGovernesque obscurity soon enough, but we now have the model for a politician who gets elected not just for power, not just for adulation (Clinton) but because living life means doing something with it... America is doomed without more like the President and fewer belly-licking liberals...

[nestacal]

I can tell that a lot of readers are NOT listeners.

Have you seen our motion pictures of our president GWB in a classroom on his VACATION after only being in office a matter of 71/2 months reading to some third graders, and that dumbfounded look that came over him after he heard about the second aircraft that hit our WTC.

Have you missed the times that he was on vacation, at home, or golfing when the people of the United States really should have been able to get a hold of him?

And then to find out that the people in Iraq were NOT responsible for what happened to US on September 11, 2001....

Maybe we should have another election and have another president and vice president elected. Maybe we should elect a half way good man who went through war and knows how to fight the enemy, with Goodness, Purity, and Love like Jesus told us about 2000 years ago. Love God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength. And Love thy neighbor as thyself.

[ganjaman22]

Yea, I'm sure the 9/11 attacks never even happened, I'm just paranoid.

[ganjaman22]

The Dems have a history of cutting defense spending, and being weak on national security.

Loss of freedoms? What freedoms have you lost?

[feelfree1]

ganjaman,

Maybe you should consider easing up on the ganja, man.

It might help you to think a little more clearly, and reduce your unhealthy level of paranoia.

[ganjaman22]

Ermmm, if you can find me a right wing extremist news source that would be great. I always enjoy good reading.

[feelfree1]

ganjaman22,

No questions. But it sounds like you feel threatened by women as well, in addition to Keith Olbermann.

Just because some people aren't frightened of everyone and everything, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that they are not interested in defending our country.

The biggest threat to our nation currently comes from the terrorist appeazers that insist that we must surrender our hard fought freedoms and rights, in exchange for the illusion of security.

Re: "hopefully not from fox news."

Ha,ha! Agreed! See? We are providing a public service, for free? Why would they eliminate that?
