i've got 99 problems but a b1tch ain't one.

 

[Gaard]

68. Refusal to condemn Israel's murder of American peace activist Rachel Corrie.

Sorry to say I had no idea what this was about so I did a google.

If, like me, you don't know about this...link

 

[Crimson]

I, as a neo-con, actually agree with a lot of these.. let me point some out:

8. Donald Rumsfeld. <-- Should be Vice President.
13. 400 billion dollar defense budget. <-- Should be $500 billion.
52. Executed 152 prisoners, including the mentally disabled, as Governor of Texas. <-- Should have been higher.
69. Refusal to negotiate with Yasser Arafat, elected leader of the Palestinian people. <-- Should have him assassinated.
70. Support for development of "non-lethal" weapons systems. <-- Should only be developing lethal weapon systems. The more lethal the better.
77. Taxpayers' tab for 2-hour Baghdad visit: $1 million. <-- Should have been 4 hour visit and 10 million dollars (More Turkey).


What a joke of a list.. most of them are just bull****, but many of them are the exact reasons why I SUPPORT Bush.

[Frdm51472]

one of the more credible conservative radio talk show hosts <ie. not Rush> called this organization and in the course of the conversation asked the girl who was the first president of the US?, she did not know. Later some guy that is somehow involved with the group called back and complained that she was ambushed. It was hilarious.

That was the Sean Hannity show and he asked if the girl knew who the current VP of the US is.

and what makes Rush not credible? as long as ive listened to him [for a long time, between 7 and 10 yrs] hes usually right and has his sources cited. perhaps its his interpretation you disagree with?

 

[Cerb]

It's like Dean. We want him to win as much as the leftist whackos, because he can make Charles Manson look like a good candidate. Babes Against Bush are doing the same thing.
1. Oh, let's not go into detail, or even condemn it, just call it stupid.
6. Probably in Pakistan.
7. Oops.
8. OK, another entry that's just a name will prove no more than the fact that they have issues trying to find any actual problems with the administration.
9, 10. OK, they did.
11, 12. Slogans are a reason to hate him? Great, you gals are really showing some character...

15. It works. Take Econ 101, Pol Sci 101, or even High school level civics! Long-term no, but he's getting booted in '08.
17. Boo hoo. Neither did many presidents.
18. idiocy at its finest. The Supreme Court DEFINES whether he wins the electoral vote or not. Damn, there are idiots around.
21. Yeah...there is that.
23. So he's to be hated for a news channel he has nothing to do with. If I only I could keep from ranting...
The rest of the list pretty much sucks.
