Too bad Bush is hidden from the true opinion of the country.
How can the uproar of quarter million people be totally blown off by someone supposedly representing all of us.
Some uniter, send this guy home to la la land texas
your Daddy can not cover your ears and protect you from the screaming voices of half a country and just about a whole planet.

Care to tell us what you did to lose your pussyhood? :Q
If the vote is between a war monger and "liberal pussie"--I'm voting for the latter.

The sad thing is that Bush is the bigger pussie in this case. After all, he was a male cheerleader!

[/quote]So if we get attacked again is he going to hesitate to retaliate? You would think that of a peacenik. What is Kerry's selling point anyway, besides not being Bush? I don't particularly like GWB but, heck, Kerry is just a cardboard cutout of a man.

Please clarify. Do you mean hesitate for seven minutes with a blank look on his face like Bush did? Or, do you mean hesitate long enough to retaliate against the right country instead of one that had nothing to do with the attack?
Where do you get the idea that Kerry is a "peacenik" in any case? Because he protested Vietnam? Here's a news flash: Kerry was right. Vietnam was a mistake. Because he raises objections about the way Bush bumbled into Iraq? Once again, he's right. Bush has finally even acknowedged this.
If your definition of "peacenik" is someone who resorts to warfare only when necessary, bring it on. That's my kind of President. I don't want an impulsive war-monger with his finger on the Big Red Button.
Like there is anything substantive from the Fearless Liar Regime the last 4 years?
8-29-2004 More Than 100,000 Protest Bush in NYC
Police gave no official crowd estimate of the day's protest. One official put the size at 120,000, although it took nearly five hours for the procession to pass Madison Square Garden.
Organizers claimed they had turned out roughly 500,000 protesters.
In all, about 100 arrests were reported, with no major outbursts of violence. At mid-afternoon, a small fire erupted along the protest route a half block from the Garden. Police quickly doused the flames, then handcuffed two people and led them away.
Thousands of police, some dressed in riot gear, others bearing automatic weapons, watched as the protesters passed.
You must be one of those conservatives who see everything in black and white.
I don't dislike Bush simply because he is Bush. That man worked hard to get the attention hes getting today. In fact, you probably believe that Bin Laden hates us "Because of our freedoms", that protesting against a war is protesting against our soldiers, disclosing abuses that put the US in a bad light as "undermining the war on terrorism", and finding a couple liters of serin makes the declaration of hundreds of tons of WMDs fact.
In fact, I distinctly recall the conservatives getting their panties in a bundle over Clinton's sex life. You know the attack dogs went after him mostly because he was Clinton (especially considering millions was spent just so they could find something to accuse him of) so don't give me that BS. Liberals may be partisan but at least we can bring facts to the table instead of giving stupid "America is safer" or "Remember 9-11" blanket statements every 2 weeks.

Chief, I hate to hear you making remarks like this. That's a particularly vicious and unwarranted personal attack.
FWIW, I think it's interesting, if unsurprising, that this year's RNC has attracted more dissent than any national convention since Vietnam (the NYPD have apparently estimated the number as perhaps as high as 500,000) - I don't think that's coincidental.
Civil disobedience is a fundamentally important part of American culture (remember the Boston Tea Party?), and if the Founding Fathers had taken the attitude that protesting and resisting what they perceived as an unfair, abusive government was wrong, or whiny, or counter-productive, there wouldn't be a United States of America.
IMO, as long as the protestors are peaceful and nonviolent, they are, in my view, acting as patriots, and I have no problem with them or their activities.
It's the circle of hate. UQ quite simply hates those who hate Bush. I'm sure it all makes perfect sense in ultra partisan right-wing land.

In all fairness, they can't win for losing.
If the protestors use violence, they will obviously help the President, IMO, by effectively making his opposition look like unstable wackos who hate the US.
Nonviolent protests are inherently a mass activity, and they don't have an opportunity to collectively make the statement: "We support the war on terror, but resent President Bush's use of force against Iraq, which was an illegal, offensive attack against a nation with no demonstrable ties to al Queda, when there were and are more important fronts for the war on terror. We also resent his domestic agenda, which has included huge, irresponsible tax cuts, combined with unprecedented defecit spending, and made him only the third President in US history to finish his term with fewer, not more, jobs for Americans," or whatever it is they'd like to say.
There really isn't, IMO, any effective way to send the message they want to, without alienating someone. I for one would much rather they continue in peaceful protest.

Well my view, like it matters to a man of action like yourself, is doing nothing is way better than scrapping the consitution in the name of terror, making enemies/distrust of our cultural brothers/seemingly forever allies in europe, and being in wars perpetually agianst the third world. No plan is better than a bad plan. Americans can take care of themselves just fine w/o government being so heavy handed and pervasive in our lives. So maybe nothing is the plan so wall street and business can stop worrying an get down to business again.

You do not remember or know about the 1968 DNC in Chaicago. Where people demonstrated against the Viet Nam war. It was on TV. People watched Dalely's thug cops beat up and mace demonstrators outside the convention.
Now the Republicans control the federal government. People were and are demonstrating against Bush's foreign and domestic policies.

Thanks for the image. It is my wallpaper now. I know somebody who is going to NYC today. He said was going to be holding up a sign that reads "A$$ HOLES FOR BUSH!"
