Lance Armstrong: True American?
"Zippy the Pinhead" wrote in message s.com...

Any credible quotes there MR Laura Bush aka transvestite ? What he said in the french magazine "L'Equipe" : Snip frog-babble "I am not a fan of the war, but I am not either a fan of a dictator like Saddam Hussein and obviously not of any form of terrorism. However, I think that it would be an error to go there without the support of the United Nations and Europe" Which falls somewhat short of calling President Bush "an idiot". Armstrong is as entitled to his opinion as any other American, and his opinion bears no more weight than anyone else's. Maybe, but he's been abroad more than once. |

The quote fell VERY short of calling him an idiot. Armstrong is as entitled to his opinion as any other American, and his opinion bears no more weight than anyone else's. So why is it being posted here? |

Lance Armstrong: True American?
if Lance Armstrong ceased to be a "true American" because of his
disagreement with the substance of President Bush's policy, then surely the USSR was correct in the imprisonment and execution of political dissidents, undesirable elements, counterrevolutionaries, and class-enemies? it amuses me to see the "patriots" employing good, old-fashioned democratic-centralist practice in the running of their policy--hold a debate, ballot the people, and expel anybody who doesn't agree with the line thus taken. Lenin would be proud. don't know about Patrick Henry, though. -=Luigi |

An idiot who continually cleans Democrat's clocks politically. Enjoy 2004! Jeff I'm sorry, who was it that won the popular vote last time? Oh, that's right, Al Gore. You know, he's a Democrat. Imagine that. More people voted for a Democrat. Hmmm. |

BTW, Joining the National Guard to avoid being drafted is hardly
draft dodging. The issue is that didn't serve his full term of duty. See: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030411.html.

So, yes, more people voted for Gore, but Bush won the Whitehouse because he carried more electoral votes. Make sense? Jeff |
