"You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror."


I wish he really would have taken the time to give the lefties a lengthy explanation that they could have understood on this one. Of course though, he did realize he was working with a 5 year timeline. Heh.

Iraq is the biggest bushism of them all.

QFT, and Iraq is no laughing matter.

CAD -- Here's a clue. I use saved texts because they save me the time and hassle of retyping the same replies to the same lies and apologies for your Traitor In Chief you and others have been spewing since he first disgraced our once great nation and the office of President.

The truth about the crimes he and his administration have committed hasn't changed. It's only gotten worse with time.

What's your excuse for not understanding that? If you had, and you and others had helped get rid of them, maybe I wouldn't need those macros to keep restating the truth, and we could all enjoy laughing at Bush's idiocy. :roll:

Well it should be fun over the next year as we get tons of these type of quotes from the Messiah as well.. and the left will dismiss them as just simple mistakes when you give as many speeches as the President does. At least Bush knows how many states are.. but - Thats different I guess when Obama does it.

In case you hadn't noticed, unlike Bush, Obama is quite literate, intelligent and well spoken. If he makes verbal gaffs as bad as Bush, it will be not only suprising but news making.

I notice you didn't say he was a good leader.. Probably because you realize he will be a failure far worse than Bush.

We'll never know what would have been if Gore or Kerry had won. We most certainly know what WOULD NOT have been:
  • As of 1/2/09, 4221 American troops are dead, tens of thousands are wounded, scarred and disabled for life and hundereds of thousandes of Iraqis are dead and wounded in your Traitor In Chief's war treasonous war of LIES in Iraq.
    rose.gif
    :(
  • The war that should have been fought in Afghanistan, against the REAL enemy that hit us on 9-11, would probably have been won, years ago if our military strength would not have been diverted, squandered and ultimately depleted in Iraq.
  • We would not have squandered trillions of dollars in current and future debt in your Traitor In Chief's war war of LIES.
  • We probably would not be facing the worst financial catastrophy since the Great Depression if your Traitor In Chief and his corrupt gang had not abandoned all oversight and regulation over their corporate Wall Street robber baron contributors.

    Even if you argue that the current downturn was unavoidable, we would have the money wasted on their war of LIES in Iraq to help finance the same recovery effort we now face.
  • We would not have suffered the assault on our Constitutional rights in which your Traitor In Chief and his criminal cabal spied on American citizens and imprisoned them without charges or access to legal counsel.
  • We would not have suffered the international humiliation of having a President directly active in committing torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity.
  • We would have had a government active in developing and promoting alternative energy sources and reducing pollution and global warming, starting with cooperation in the Kyoto Protocols.
  • We wouldn't have had the total incompetence shown by the Bushwhackos in dealing with domestic emergencies and failing infrastructure, including Hurricane Katrina, failing bridges and far more. We can't know if what would have been accomplished under a Gore or Kerry administration would have been sufficient. We most certainly know it could NOT have been any worse.
George W. Bush is arguably the worst, most destructive, most devisive President in American history. He and his gang should be tried and convicted for murder for each American death in Iraq. They should be tried and convicted for treason for shredding the rights of every American citizen under our once honored, once nobel Constitution. They should be tried and convicted, under both American and international law for committing torture, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I'd like to know how you can casually "*shrug*" and consider any of that better than "the two alternatives the Dems put out to run against him." :roll:

blah blah blah, more wondrous "wisdom" from our "elite" moderator. :roll:

Any chance you'll ever actually move forward with your life?





One week off for mod callout. You need to examine the rules to see what you can and cannot say say. This one you cannot.

True, maybe it would have been worse.

Worse than the Bushwackos' crimes, including treason, murder, torture and other war crimes and crimes against humanity? :shocked:

Worse than taking the nation to war based on nothing but LIES? :|

Worse than the thousands of American troops who died and the tens of thousands wounded for those lies?
rose.gif
:(

Worse than the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians killed, wounded and displaced for those lies?
rose.gif
:(

Worse than the trillions of dollars in current and committed future debt squandered for those lies? :Q

Please do tell us how it could possibly have been worse if Gore or Kerry had won. :roll:

Under a 1% chance of that IMO. It's a total joke to suggest it, and implicitly deny the terrible attributes of the Bush administration as if it's like any other.

? "There's an old saying in Tennessee ? I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee ? that says, fool me once, shame on ? shame on you. Fool me ? you can't get fooled again." ? Sept. 17, 2002, in Nashville, Tenn

Does anybody else think that Bush started to channel Roger Daltrey of The Who here?

Could've been a marijuana/cocaine flashback.

That pretty much sums up your and my argument.

I'd like to know how you can casually "*shrug*" and consider any of that better than "the two alternatives the Dems put out to run against him." :roll:

It's easy to play the 'what if' game and fantasize about where we'd be IF something else had happened. What IF Dubbya had died from choking on that peanut? What IF the flying spaghetti monster had returned to earth during his term? What IF an asteroid had crashed into Nebraska just before 9/11? What IF... You get the point.

You're an idiot to say that we would have definitely NOT done * IF so and so had been elected as president instead of GWB.

I'm not saying things would be the same. But you can't state with any kind of certainty, beyond the certainty that a five year old has in the existance of Santa Claus, that we would be better off today.

Maybe Gore would have passed some kind of radical environmental reform that pissed off the Chinese enough for them to fire a nuke at us... Maybe Kerry is so dorky on the international scene that someone kills him out of general principle. Who knows! I guess that's part of the fun in living in your little hypothetical word.

But back to my original point... Hindsight being 20/20 and all... What did the Dems offer at the time that was so much more compelling than Bush? Nothing. An environmental whacko and an elitist dork that the average american couldn't relate to.

Oh, it's pretty clear that Bushisms are indeed simple mistakes.

But they're funny mistakes.

Now the mistakes he made when he WASN'T giving a speech...aren't as funny.

And so they elected the stupid-but-friendly drinking buddy? Depends on your definition of "compelling", I suppose...I have different criteria for choosing my leaders, my friends, and my underlings. The person has to fit the task.

Um, yeah... He's such a bad leader he amassed record money/votes. What a loser! :confused:

For the record, it was a reported to be a pretzel. Had that happened, Darth Cheney would have been President and we'd all remember Bush as the "good ol' days" ... rather than the complete and utter failure he became.

You're obviously free to continue playing BushCo apologist, but I don't think any objective, rational observer would find any significant chance that Presidents Gore or Kerry would have anywhere close to as bad as GWB. Sorry, but Bush is in a class by himself when it comes to screwing over the United States, at least in modern history. While I think Kerry in particular was a poor choice, it is only denial or blind partisanship that led people to rationalize he was worse than Bush.

What do # of votes and money received have to do with Obama's leadership skills? In the senate he has done practically NOTHING to show he is a leader. I want RESULTS - I want him to follow through on his promises. Leadership isn't saying 'But Bush' for the next 4 years.. He has done NOTHING so far to indicate he has such leadership skills. That may change, but as of right now his time in the senate and illinois state politics has been pretty unimpressive. I suspect his time as President will be the same. Its time for him to start making decisions now - He can't defer to a 'present' vote. He's need to decide whether to possibly allow American citizens to die or launch that missile against a terrorist stronghold. I'll give Obama a chance, but he has a LOT of promises to keep that he made in this election.

Actually, I more-or-less agree with ya. I've been a Democrat my entire voting life (first voted in 1972) and I didn't care much for Gore or Kerry...and I don't care too much for Obama, although I think he's better than either of the other two.

IMO, if Gore would have shown as much personality during his campaign as he has with the promotion of his movie, we might be at the end of 8 years of a Gore presidency.(which of course, we SHOULD be anyway, since the first Bush election was stolen by the USSC) :D

The Dems just haven't been giving us any kind of decent candidates of late. NONE of the candidates in the past two election cycles have stood out...not Obama, not Clinton, not Kerry.
It seems like we've come down to voting the the "candidate we hate less than the other one" in recent elections...and that's sad.

Of course, IMO, the Republicans haven't offered any solid candidates lately either. Certainly none who would make me even consider crossing the line to vote (R) for the first time in my life.

BOTH sides seem to generally pander to the extremes in their party...leaving those of us who are more centrist wishing for more.

Obama at least SEEMS to be leaning toward the center instead of the far left...we'll see.

I'll ask you this... What is a community organizer - a criticism often aimed at Obama from the right during the campaign - if not a leader? You ask for results and follow through on his promises but he's still 2 weeks from taking office. You say you'll give Obama a chance? Right. Your post history and sig speak otherwise.
