![]() | Hard to believe ANYbody these days. I think I believed John McCain more than most others (even though I don't support republicans). But I'd be glad to see Bush out of office.

![]() | Tell me, when did Bush lie? I assume you are going to use the WMDs as your excuse for calling Bush a liar. Just because we haven't found them doesn't mean they aren't there, or that they weren't there. |

![]() | He also lied when he told everyone that Saddam had a connection with Bin Laden and therefore was responsible for 9/11. One of the many lies. If you truly don't believe he's ever lied then either you are a party hack, or you are misinformed. Oh, and by the way, pointing to the WMD argument is not an 'excuse'. The fact that he said Iraq was an *imminent threat* to the US was a lie. After the fact, they have tried to come up with one justification after another for invading iraq when the WMD's were not found. One of these 'justifications' was the 'humanitarian cause' - also a lie. He doesn't give a $hit about the Iraqi people.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I would believe what my X told me over GWB any day and if you knew her you would know how much of a stretch that is. The problem with both my X and GWB is neither of them even know they are telling a lie. With that being said Kerry gets credit over both.

![]() | Bush administration tried their best to prove there was a link. They were unable to prove it. They went so far as to fake evidence. It's all there. You just have to look. Why should we NOT be angry at that?

![]() ![]() ![]() | Well, if you're NOT polarized enough now, here's the two wings: Liberals, Progressives, Greens, Socialists, Democrats http://www.democraticunderground.com/ ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=24682 Libertarians, Conservatives, Fundamentalists, Republicans http://www.freerepublic.com/ Personally, I don't even consider that lying, thieving, immoral deserter AS the President. But I did get the Republican nomination for my office ![]() Kerry was my 5th or 6th choice in the primary, but I would vote for a "yellow dog" before I'd vote for Bush (hence the origin of the term, Yellow Dog Democrat) so I will be campaigning for Kerry. In fact, I go to a Campaign School TOMORROW! |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | The way I see it is that politics itself is a big lie so you cant use lies as an excuse to not vote for someone. Campaigning is used for a reason, I think the reason is that its proving that they know what the people want. If they can say that they are going to do what you want then give em your vote..thats as far as its gonna go anyway. People are always complaining about Bush, the way I see it is that at least he did something, might have been stupid but he did do something that he thought was right. Why did we bomb them? Well yea I disagree with that but why didnt Saddam just turn himself in? Why didnt he just agree to let the searches be done? He wasnt hiding anything..or was he? If he wasnt tell the idiot to just let the UN search the place and its all over with. Another thing is why was everyone so happy that Saddam was captured and all I hear is protests that we shouldnt have to do this war blah blah blah. I think the removal of Saddam was justified by the fact that he was killing innocent people. So in conclusion to my babble, I dont think Bush is that bad at all, I dont think anyone else is that bad or any better cause politics is a bunch of lies anyway and if you think that its not you better get back to reality here. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=24682 Thanks for reading...that is if you actually read it.And if you want to say I am stupid go ahead..Im not even old enough to vote so what do I know.

![]() | AHH, not MoveOn.org! *evil* Just because we haven't found WMDs yet doesn't mean they aren't there. And what about the Mass Graves. Anyone who has killed THAT many people doesn't deserve the right to rule a country. He was a tyrant, and it is our obligation to the world to remove tyrants. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | A lot of this is 20/20 hind site. I originally supported our presidents decision to go to war. I don't now. I now realize that we are NOT safer. We have stirred (or re-stirred) a hornets nest. Our actions in the middle east are resented by the people who live there. When are we going to learn that we need to come up with an energy policy that does not depend on middle east oil. (economics - oil is the bottom line as to why we are still messing around with the middle east.) Leave them alone. We do not understand them and they do not understand us. Kicking their tails, acting like a school yard bully, won't change things. And, it does not make us safer. Additionally, I suppose that many on this forum forget that Saddam had put a contract out on the life of Bush senior. The real reason for our action in Iraq is not WMD. It was and is to avenge that contract. Bush Jr. took the presidency with this action as a personal priority. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=24682 So, do I believe Kerry. Not a bit. He is playing politics just a Bush does. Who are we going to believe. Neither! Ask yourself - really ask yourself, not your dad or your grandad, form your own political opinion - ask yourself, "am I satisfied with the course our society is on"? If you are vote for the incumbents, if not, vote against them. But, don't ever belive them. Action is what counts.

![]() | You honesty don't think we are safer? Many of the Iraqi ARE glad we are there, just as the Afganis were. While there is not as much support from the Iraqi people, many are truely glad we are there. |

![]() | The afghanis were/are not glad we are there. Nothing happened there that was worthwhile to them. They lost thousands of lives and nothing has really changed. The US appointed government controls only a small portion of Afghanistan and chaos still reins in other parts. Their situation has not improved, and thats after thousands of deaths. Why would they be happy? As I said, this war had nothing to do with what Saddam was doing to his people. Bush couldn't give a rat's A$$ about that. The humanitarian argument just doesn't work when you look at the history and look at the fact that there are many other places in a similar situation and nothing is being done about that. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=24682 You seem to keep recycling the one argument you have even though we've shown you the other times Bush has lied. Blind support of a president is bad for everyone's interests.

![]() ![]() ![]() | On the issue of "immenent threat," that is so often misquoted by those uninformed: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...030128-19.html
What were the conditions Bush laid out for Saddam? http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0020912-1.html
Did Saddam end suppot of terrorism? No, he continued to provide direct financial support to Palestine by rewarding the families of suicide bombers with $25,000 each. Did Saddam end the torture of his people? No, he continued to torture and persecute his people up till the end. This disputes the claim above that Bush did not care about the welfare of Iraqis, when clearly it was one of the five conditions Saddam *could* have chosen to abide by, but did not. Did Saddam fully cooperate with international efforts to resolve issues with his Kuwait invasion, as required by Security Council resolutions? No, he did not. Did Saddam end all illicit trade outside the oil-for-food program? No, and as is being reported this week, it appears that there was mass corruption in the oil for food pogram within the UN. As the scandal continues to develop about the UN and it's role in taking kickbacks from Saddam in the oil for food program, there is no doubt we will learn even more about the corruption of the UN and leaders of other countries that were bought out. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=24682 These were the conditions Saddam chose to ignore to prevent war. Saddam made the decision not to cooperate, Bush made the decision to force him to. Let's visit the WMD issue. If Bush lied about WMD, he did so long after Democrats have been supposedly lying about it. Let's take a look at the Democrats that were convinced Saddam had WMD: http://www.rightwingnews.com/quotes/demsonwmds.php Low and behold, we have John Kerry pesuading Clinton to go to war because HE thought there were WMD:
Here's a good one:
In all five cases, Saddam chose not to cooperate with the UN (and we are starting to see the corruption behind that) or with the five demands to avoid war. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

![]() | "Republican rhetoric"? Just because some Republicans are saying it doesn't mean we don't actually believe it? Or did you mean we are basically reading from a script? Besides, there is nothing wrong with quoting people. In fact, it can really be a strong way to show an opinnion. Also, Demicrats ALWAYS use "Republican rhetoric" as an excuse when they are trying to get off-topic because they KNOW that they've been cornered with facts. Well, they have other stupid things they say, like that woman on NPR that always says stuff like, "Listen to him, isn't that the weirdest vioce?!" I mean, the way someone looks or sounds really shouldn't matter. For people who "don't discriminate", you sure do a whole lot of name calling and political correctness towards minorities only. |
