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!

I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE USA'S ACTIONS ON THE REST OF THE WORLD, THAT WE DON'T LOVE OUR COUNTRY.

Just because I don't think are actions are suitably justified when we attacked another country under false pretenses, does not mean I am any less of an American. It just means that I have ties to humanity that are stronger than my ties to this country.

Please don't imply to me that I am on the side of the terrorists. I am on the side of the Iraqi people, the ones we are bombing and killing everyday in the scatterbrained search for terrorism.

Maybe that is this countries problem, people who are so content with their own position that they denounce every other one as wrong. Sounds like the rhetorics of racists, sexists, ageists, and so on. It is the US superego that is killing the citezans of the world. and maybe Pres. Bush is simply the embodiement of it.

I can't stand it when people use endearing terms to talk down to me . . .

I don't know if we could date, from the way she sounds, she probably is deathly afraid of anything homo, and well, I am a woman.

Oh, you meant Palestinians instead of Pakistani's? Much is now explained.

"You beef up on histroy and you would know that the US confiscated Palestinean land and handed it over to the Jewish people after WWII, another wonderful action of US foreign policy."

You might want to go back and check that again. Britain had been in control of the region, and relinquished it to the UN. The UN favored a partition of the land, the US didn't, but we didn't "confiscate" anything.

But, as long as we're on the subject of Israel, I'd love to hear more about those "Israeli suicide bombers".

"Please try to stay focused on this one, if we are enforcing against Iraq for these reasons, why not other countries that are in similar violations of UN policy?"

I did explain it, though perhaps not as specifically and directly as you would like. In short, because our considerations of the various factors and issues involved don't reveal some of those other countries to be as much a threat as others. And given limited resources, you prioritize, and go with the most important first.

Okay, I did not know why you were asking me to do that but know I understand.

However, the discussion has moved away from what was said in the GOP thread, and like I sited in my orginal post, they are quoting things from the DEM thread.

Your claims in regards to "war heads given by Bush" or something to that effect was false, and your insinuation that if any did exist they were there because of Bush is false as well.

I thought with that we were past it all as well.

You are talking in circles, Israel and Palestine fight over the West Bank and Gaza, not Pakistan.

So now, I am just going to say, ok, whatever.
