Lance Armstrong has openly called George W. an idiot for invading Iraq

traitor?

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.

So why is it being posted here?

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.

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:

That's because there aren't 150,000 Europeans who can spell Europe.

in spite of the fact that he IS an idiot, as well as a liar,

Don't forget acquiring not one but TWO DUI's and being a deserter for
the National Guard. Oh, and insider trader, too. If the SEC strings
up Martha Stewart, Bushy Boy should be next, the crook.

He may have tried it, but I don't believe he was ever addicted to coke,
and I've never heard of any insider trading charges. Where do they come
from? BTW, Joining the National Guard to avoid being drafted is hardly

The insider trading charges come from his time in one of the companies
he was helping run into the ground in Texas. He was on (chairman?) of
the audit commitee and sold his stock before the news went public and
the stock value tanked. His connections, as usual, kept him out of
trouble.

I didn't say her dodged the draft (read my post). He was enlisted in
the National Guard and DID NOT SHOW UP FOR A YEAR. Thus, he qualifies
as a deserter. Again, Daddy's connections kept him from facing
serious court martial proceedings. I think Clinton was a snake, but
if he had done these kinds of things, we'd never have heard the end of
it. What is it with Teflon Bush?

See this analysis for some info. on his "service." Although in this
site it does not mention the length of AWOL qualifying as "deserter."
I don't recall right now where I read that, but the record is bad
enough.
