Why not get rid of both at the same time? Impeach the whole damned regime!

Of course, I can't change your mind, but I can show you what I think of what you say

Yes, my response to your statement. Your point?

i find the President spilling a few tears in the Oval office over difficult decisions appropriate,

Monica Lewinsky's dress

Damn that Bill Clinton, doing to Monica what he did to the Republicans for 8 years!!

I just spat on my keyboard reading that:laugh:.

Geez, this doesn't sound like a healthy response to the work place..makes you wonder about psychological problem

for his own health, and the safety of the US, I would support his prompt resignation.

my only concern is for the well being of President Bush and whether an emotional unstable President is appropriate to have sitting in the whitehouse. I suppose impeachment proceeding based upon mental heath could be looked into. 2bin jokes about Bush having a "lighter side"

:roll:

Either he's a mental case for admitting to crying or it's a political ploy to humanize the inhuman.

The P&N debacle continues...

a myopic answer...a more appropriate comment might have been this thread has no place in P&N...

some one is trying to score cheap shots against Bush because he "cries" Well, he has to pee and poop as well. He also eats from time to time.

i tried (but failed, yet again) to point out to the reflexive Bush haters, that trying to diss on the guy for shedding bodily fluids at work, was hypocritical...

the real question is why i have a compulsion to to try and change anyone's mind (assuming they have one) about what their opinion is.....

Others of you share this compulsion (you know who you are)....

Seriously... inquiring minds want to know. Why is it okay for Bush and not for Souter? I mean a lot of people are hypocritical on here, but usually they try to spread it out enough that the two threads aren't on the front page at the same time. Jeez man, you should at least give us enough credit that you try to hide it.

Hmm, maybe because he made that thread as a sarcastic response to this silliness?

Just an idea...

Don't you think that you might also want to practice giving some credit? Surely heartsurgeon is having some fun, no? Hehehehe!

It's certainly possible that he made a sarcastic thread about Souter in response to this one, but if you consider how he normally posts its most definitely not outside of the logical gymnastics he must perform on a regular basis to write what he does.

I am willing to entertain the idea that his entire posting history is some sort of candid camera prank though. He and Butterbean might be modern day Andy Kaufmans.

I see a president crying in the white house the same way I would see a crying general on the battlefield... pathetic, weak and hopeless, praying for someone to save his skin.

I would agree but only if he is crying in front of other people (besides his wife). If he cries in private then thats his own business.

I cried a river when I heard about this Kindler Gentler war we were going to fight.

As far as people being killed in Iraq. They would have probably died under Sadam just as much, if not more. Sadam was a mad man and he would still be killing his own people if he was still in office. If you look at the war, more civilians are killed by Muslims, than by anyone else.

That's why it's ok to go shooting drug addicts and such. They'd probably just get shot by someone else if you don't do it.

Why, I'd say anywhere in the world bad things are happening, the US can go and kill any number of people, up to how many are being killed now, and say it's the right thing to do.

And even more. Remember, the problem with Viet Nam was just not 'winning' and the US casualties. The 2 million vietnamese killed were the price of a just war.

Well, OK, so the US made a mistake, and its war to prevent them from becoming a domino of Commie China left them looking pretty silly when Viet Nam then went to war with Commie China, showing they weren't exactly a domino pawn and we had an 'oops'. But at least the US was sure held accountable for that misdeed!

Oh, ya, no one was. Two million killed and zero criminal accountability. The Nazis have a right to cry favoritism.

And of course, Piasabird, you have been very careful to see that the numbers of Iraqi civilians killed haven't been higher than they would under Saddam, because you have a strong moral value about the violence our nation does, right? You would never just make up the facts to try and push your partisan view in a post, would you?
