Too many right-wing jackasses seem to think of politics as some sort of game where you want your team to "win" no matter how wrong or ineffective they are. So congratulations -- the Bush team "won" -- too bad the US military, the US public (huge deficits), the world public (less secure world due to US adventurism) and lots of other groups are losing. You're the winner. Yeah, go team! JT Nope, not true. It was the elitist name calling that I'm refering to. Go back and read my posts John. I respect the process and the direction that the country decided. You do not. Bull****. Bush is the president and I recognize that. But you don't seem to understand that it is is my right to denouce his policies as president because they are wrong. That is not whining. That is doing what is right. If you think that just because the guy won the election people should roll over and take his bad policies w/o complaint, and that dissent is whining, you are even more anti-democratic than I thought. In fact, dissent of bad policy is not only a right -- it's a duty. JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |

Please let me know when you have your head removed from your ass and start thinking clearly again. My point has been clearly proven over and over again..those that don't agree with you are stupid. I really thought you were smarter than that John, I hate to admit I was wrong because you are completely clueless about where I and likely many voters stand on the issues....I can't believe I just wasted my time typing this. Enjoy your fantasy world. Danny Callen A hint might be due: JT's not the only one, and his head's not up his ass. It's one thing to be conservative, intelligent and sincere, but variously misguided. Thinking liberals can work with people like that. We're willing to win some and lose some. But it's another thing entirely that enough people voted to re-elect our *amazingly* inept and wrong presidential administration. The reasons people voted the way they did, gleaned from reading between the exit polls, are not acceptable. They are cause for alarm and deep discouragement. I view the recent presidential election as being won/lost due to too many voters abandoning critical thought and instead voting based on emotion, misinformation and/or their own personal moral grounds (which are largely contradictory to the morality set forth in our founding documents). This is why you see people deciding to leave the country. The thought's crossed my mind. It's not cutting and running, it's not weakness necessarily, it's a realization that the nation you've grown up in, worked for and love, has drifted away from common sense and moral values. It's a sense that this place has gone to hell and you don't belong here anymore. I don't presume to suggest what you should do with such information. -- -- Lynn Wallace http://www.xmission.com/~lawall "We should not march into Baghdad. ... Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerilla war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever greater instability."

I completely respect your perspective and point of view; that is not my beef; however, when you started calling those that voted for Bush "stupid" and "duped" that's where you crossed the line. Go back and read the goddam thread and note one time where I said democrates were "stupid" or "duped". I disagree with your politcally perspective 100% but have never had to stupe lopw enough to call you stupid or duped.. You can not seem to accept that there are just people that disagree with you unless you can justify it by calling them a name. That is completely childish. In fact it's laughable... Danny Callen |

Please let me know when you actually look at politics based not on the basest and lamest of instincts that the right wing pandered to in the recent elections. My point has been clearly proven over and over again..those that don't agree with you are stupid. Not on everything, but in the recent election the people who voted for Bush are. Except for the greedly, the duped, the marriage-haters and the anti-choice crowd. I really thought you were smarter than that John, You were right all along and still are. The problem is you're so reactionary in your anti-liberalism that you let it get the better of you. so I've taken the gloves off and am speaking more frankly than in the past. I tried to be polite with people who have bought the Bush nonsense in the past but I can't take it anymore -- it's just wrong. So I'm speaking more freely now.
