Hah, thats a worthless statement. I just don't believe that he could do
any of these things, so we'll never know.


It was an illustration. IF he did all those things, the haters of
George would still bitch and moan about him.


...Kerry is part of
the Massachusetts Royalty. He takes and takes and takes, and doesn't
even support a charity. A few years ago it was discovered that he had
an income of over $300,000 per year,....


The difference, of course, is that Kerry is a decorated military veteran.
It's an honor thing.......you wouldn't understand.

well, what the hell, it's christmas......you give 'em what they ask for,
right? :)

Oh, I see. It is ok for a Dem president to lie under oath, but Joe
Slobbo that does it goes to jail.


Like "Joe Slobbo" gets called upon to discuss oral sex under oath.

Glad that you asked. During the impeachment procedures, the news
networks brought out that there were indeed people behind bars, both
men and women, who lied under oath about sexual conduct. What is good
for Joe Slobbo is good enough for any president.

End of thread for me.

Dave, you're like Nigel in Spinal Tap.

Your amps go to 11, and we're Rob Riner.

It's because that's all they have, which is also
why Dave keeps parroting them as well.

Dave is undergoing a traumatic experience. 20 years of his life he spent in
fighting the evil empire, the red hoard. We were taught they were the most
evil despicable regime to ever exist on the planet. We beat them and now we
find we are them. If he was in the same armed forces as the rest of us he
took an oath to protect the constitution , he sounds like he forgot that
part.

You and I have had some interesting and polite talks over the years.
I respect you and hope that you respect me.


Sure do. I think despite the fact that we've both got our respective
pushable buttons, the discourse hasn't gotten particularly bitter. I
wouldn't write anything to you I wouldn't say in person.

I am despised by many on
this foruum because of my opions on Kerry.


I don't know about the "despised" part, and even the milder "hated" would
be over the top, I think.

I have no regrets for
anything I have ever done or said. And I say this: Bush is the man
to lead us through this difficult time. We did not fight the
terrorists in the 90s and we are now stopping them from hurting us.


Just keep it in mind that, aside from the payments to suicide bombers'
families, the Saddam regime had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.
Thus, every time we're told that this Iraqi action is a war on terrorism,
many look at it as a lie. Even now, by most accounts, the number of
"terrorists" in Iraq is much smaller than the number of "insurgents", but
I suppose that when you're wearing the uniform, an enemy is an enemy. One
could possibly argue that doing whatever we need to do to create a stable
democracy in the region is good for the world, and bad for terrorist in
the long run, but that's not the case that was presented to us, because
you can't justify going to war and taking down a government on that
basis. Personally, I think the world situation at the beginning of this
nightmare pointed to encouraging a progressive takeover of government in
Iran to encourage free democracy. Instead, we've got an Iraq that seems
to be going the way of the worst of Iran.

How do you think things would be if everyone was pulling for this war
(and Iraq is but a battle in a war) instead of undermining it all the
time.


For me, that's almost the same question as "How do you think things would
be if Rumsfeld were fired one year into this mess?" I've seen absolutely
no sacrifice to support this action, aside from a monstrous debt which
encompasses this war and more. I've seen not enough troops, not enough
equipment, not enough planning, no definition of a victory, not enough
accountability. The only thing this war has plenty of is money being
funneled to contractors. The fact that Rumsfeld has launched this
cluster**** and still holds his job does little to convince me that this
Administration is doing what it needs to do to clean up after itself.
So, when the government starts cleaning up house, maybe I'll stop
questioning the motives.

Ain't it wonderful that Al Jezera broadcasts on a regular basis
Deans words, "We can not win this war." I hope that the extreme left
does not make this war (and I'm not talking about Iraq) another
Vietnam.


The Admin seemed to be doing all it can to turn Iraq into a Vietnam, and
used the war on terrorism as a justification. Unfortunately, this does
very little to establish the US as the credible guardian of the world
from terrorism. Now, Bush FINALLY seems to be saying "some of this is my
fault", but not addressing the important stuff. If you have some time,
read Jimmy Carter's book on the subject.

End of thread for me. My words will not change anyone's belief, so
why argue about it. I have to get ready to go fishing down south.


Happy Hanukkah.


And I hope you enjoyed Christmas. Have a good time down South, and have
a wonderful New Year.
