Bush supporters give me a break!

I have just read through some of the info on the GOP thread and this will be my first time posting a discussion, so here it goes:

I truly feel like whenever I hear a Bush supporter speak, it is like listening to someone with Stolkholm syndrome, THEY ARE COMPLETELY BRAINWASHED!!! I mean, honestly, unless you are living in a cave (without internet, mind you) there is no way that the Bush supporters do not intake the same news that I do.

HE LIED!!! HE LIED!!! Let this serve as a newsflash to anyone who did not know. THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. IF THERE ARE, HIS DAD SUPPLIED THEM. This is something that they were aware of befor the sent us into Iraq. That is unethical manipulation of your position of power.

For those of you who were just about to argue that we went in for "humanitarian" reasons to collapse the tyranical reign of Saddam, let me just halt you in your tracks. Why are we not in any country in Africa, in which there are civil wars, AIDs epidemics, and feminist repression running rampant due to governmental proceedings? Why are we not in China? Why are we not in Palestine (oh wait, I forgot, we are, sponsering their killing by the Israelis)? Becaus they do not benefit us? So what's the deal, we fight for humanity contigent on how much money we gain from it? Give me a break!

I read another posting about how Republicans are frustrated with the Democrats focus on how George Bush cannot speak. A couple interesting points: It worries us that he cannot speak because you'd think that after a couple years at Yale, the University rated number one on the recently released Princenton Review, that he would be able to process a few words. I guess the fact that he graduated with like a D average just does not count. Additionally, I would just like to call to attention the fact that over and over again science has come to the conclusion that the major difference between humans and the animal kingdom is our ability to speak, and our advanced methods of communication which in turn lead to organization and technology, thus the advancement of the human race. If he cannot speak, then he is getting closer and closer to the animal, right?

Finally, on the GOP thread several posters commented on how although Dems were calling them nervous, they were actually unwaveringly confident. Yeah, I would be too if my party had just rigged the last election!!

People, women, get to the polls!!

Let's make it like father, like son, one term!

Good answer, we don't just follow Moore as if he is God, a lot of us realize how extreme he may be.

But is it undeniable that his info cannot all be false. If it is, then where is the lawsuit for slander on the part of George Bush?

Here is a question to everyone: Does non-compliance with an Invading country warrant death, destruction, and our own form of terror?

Would not the American people be outrageous if Iraqi forces invaded our country and tried to impose their own "international law" on us?

There have been several UN treaties broken by the US and if any one of the countries with which we had a treaty invaded us, we would be MAD. And we would probably not comply, but, if then they starting killing Americans, it would be a whole different story.

"Respect doesn't require understanding; it requires acknowledging our differences." That sounds really beautiful, but it doesn't mean anything. Why don't we all just respect eachother out here in the open.

How did the EC fail? By all accounts it operated just as it always has and just as it is supposed to.

Tell them to watch BBC. It is so funny how people in countries outside of the US know so much more than Americans about America.

The cease fire from 1991 permitted resumption of hostilities if the US or it's allies determined it necessary. The US and it's allies decided Iraq wasn't in sufficient compliance with the UN, and resumed hostilities per the cease fire agreement of 1991.

Futher the UN resolutions permitted action by member states to enforce the sanctions and resolutions against Iraq.

The Congress vested our President with resolutions necessary and appropriate for military conflict.

It's all nice n legal, and tied with a bow :-)

I did enjoy the comedy "Between Iraq and a hard place" if that helps, I believe it was a BBC product :-)

There are piles of cash in Dick Cheney's office, home, and bank account, should we assume he is selling WMD and attack and invade him?
