Yeah- the association of having given money to ALF

You're sure about that ?

"He could find Ben Laden, end the

the budget, get rid of the deficit and give more tax relief..."


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

Personally, I think he represents the absolute worst aspect of the
American capitalist system...a system that is supposed to reward hard
work and enterprise, but also one that lets this party-boy ride his
daddy's coattails and inside connections through life. Shrub got handed
every possible success that most Americans work their assess off for
their whole lives for, and never earned one cent of it, including the
Presidency. I got no beef with self-made success stories...I hope to be
one myself some day. I also got no beef with socially-minded
bluebloods, as I believe a bit in the Ayn Rand philosophy that these
folks are the batteries that the system runs off of. I think that most
of them recognize their responsibility to the country, But for C-
deadweights with a sense of entitlement.....no way. For him to be
president is the ultimate insult to the American ethic. The only saving
grace to the entire Bush presidency is the fact that, as my Grandmother
used to say: "idiots and the truth will out"...about now, pretty much
the whole world realizes what a doofus Bush is. Everyone except Bush.

Hate him? Not at all. I despise what he represents. I look forward to
the day he gets let out of his bubble by his handlers and realizes how
the majority of the world really does feel about him, and that he ain't
been fooling no one but hisself. Not even his daddy is fooled, which
says something.

Heck, if they're willing to openly **** on the Fourth Amendment, I don't
expect they'd see the 22nd as much of an obstacle. Hell, keeping the
sitting President in office is vital for our national security in time of
war. I'm sure Gonzales can twist the Constitution another notch to find a
way to justify it (or at least the RNC can find some memo where Clinton
discussed the possibility.) I wish I were joking.

It´s Yiddish. the literal translation is "Don´t knock me a teakettle", but
it means more or less, "you don't have to shut up completely, but I'd really
appreciate it if you'd stop rattling on about the same damned thing all the
time."

.like Scott said, it all came
down to a lie over sex. Bull**** stuff, compared to the stuff brought up
here about Bush. Don't you view the sacrifice of the rights and freedoms of
American citizens, treatment of military prisoners, lying to go to war, etc,
on a different plane, David??

Like I told Scott, a lie under oath is a lie. There is no difference
from the lies Clinton told than the lies told by other men *on the
same subject* who served time for perjury.

What rights and freedoms have you lost, Tom? Treatment of prisoners
was an isolated event and those that were responsible for it have been
tried or disciplined. And, prove that anyone lied to go to war.

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. We're all gonna lose our
civil rights and die. If there is any bull**** about this, Tom, it is
on your side of the aisle. Remember, your side okayed everything that
has gone on.

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

You have also just described Al Gore and John Kerry. 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, but yet he managed to give a
paltry $300 of it to charity. Is that what you are like too? I doubt
it. Bush won the presidency two times, so get over it.

I got no beef with self-made success stories...I hope to be
one myself some day. I also got no beef with socially-minded

Kerry's background was basically that of Bush. Came from money.
****ed away four mediocre years at Yale. Ran for president.

Hate him? Not at all.

Perhaps you don't, but there are many roffian who do and would not
give him credit for anything, hence my post about balancing the
budget. ending the war, etc. They would still find something to hate
him for.

Let's do this one more time. Clinton lied about a blowjob. Many believe
that Bush lied about intelligence he had in his pocket so he could start
a war. If the last turns out to be true, these are not the same crimes.
Clinton's actions trashed Monica's dress, Bush's resulted in the death of
2,000 American citizens and 30,000 Iraqi bystanders.

Let me try this again? Does God punish you more if you break the 2nd
Commandment or the 3rd? They are both sins. A lie is a lie, and
Clinton lied and was *GIULTY*. If Bush lied and is proven, then he
too should be impeached and if *proven* like Clinton's was, should
suffer for it.

I believe around the age of 7 is when children who are asked about a
situation where a hungry person with no means steals a loaf of bread to
feed himself or family starts to differentiate, flipping from "stealing
is wrong" to "maybe stealing isn't always wrong".

And your point. A president lying under oath is wrong. Period!

Bush Senior (remember the "I don't know nothing about selling no weapons
to Iran" Bush?), when asked if he were having an affair, pointed out in
no uncertain terms that it was wrong of the press to ask that question.

To follow up on your earlier question, I firmly believe that some sins
are worse than others. Stealing the hard-earned money of the American
working class to give it to your buddies is worse than lying under oath
about a blowjob, or cheating on your wife. So is cherry picking
intelligence to start a war. So is rounding up Middle Easterners in the
US, and holding them uncharged and incommunicado. So is letting poor
people get even poorer trying to keep warm while the oil companies rape
them. All of those are higher up in the list of sins than spying on
American citizens, but if that's what we can get him on, so be it.
That's how the right treated Clinton's blowjob, and that's how I'm
looking at this.

You and I have had some interesting and polite talks over the years.
I respect you and hope that you respect me. I am despised by many on
this foruum because of my opions on Kerry. 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.
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. 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.

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.
