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!

-not michael moore,
"As to defending ourselves from being attacked, I completely agree with that. And therefore I also agree with U.S. intelligence agencies, the foreign policy analysts and others who point out the obvious: we were not attacked by Saddam Hussein. There’s no know connection and very unlikely to be a connection between Saddam Hussein and al-queda. They’re all monsters but they’re totally different kinds of monsters and they hate each other. If we want to raise the probability of an attack on the United States, the best way to do it is to invade Iraq. That has been pointed out over and over again even by the CIA. It’s possible that if we attack Iraq, Saddam Hussein will use the only weapon available to him namely attacks in the United States."
-again not michael moore, both quotes are Noam Chomsky
"Since his arrival, Ashcroft has rushed through the U.S. legal system with the same rampaging rage as a Baghdad looter, thoughtlessly shattering artifacts in looking for things of instant value. What remains are pieces of Americana, like the presumption of innocence and due process, that lay in shards after only a two-year period." --Jonathan Turley, Appetite for Authoritarianism Spawns an American Gulag, May 2, 2003
how about the fact that the invasion of Iraq is illegal within the framework of the laws of the United States Constitution and the United Nations Charter???? I am not quoting, I am just able to think and figure these things out.
If you don't like these then maybe it is not michael moore you hate, but the truth itself....
Err just flat out wrong, the US Congress gave the President all the authority he needed to take action against Iraq. Further by terms of the Gulf War I instrument, which was agreed between Iraq and the US after Iraq invaded Kuwait permitted resumption of action if the US felt Iraq hadn't complied with all sanctions fully.
There is and was absolutely nothing illegal about the invasion of Iraq. (edited, my apology, needed that first cup of joe this am :-)
The humanitarian catastrophe was the many children and citizens of Iraq dying due to a despots refusal to comply with international law, the invasion liberated them.
As pointed out earlier by myself in other discussions on this forum, check the 9/11 report page 66 paragraph 3. There was an evolving relationship between Iraq and Al-Queada indeed Saddam offered Ossama sanctuary in Iraq as late as 1999. The 9/11 report also indicates Iraq and Al-Queda worked together against the Kurds, demonstrating an evolving operational arrangement (not against the US, but undoubtedly this would occur eventually). To the extent Iraq had an evolving relationship with an enemy who has and plans to kill Americans, and is hostile to America... we were within our rights to take action.

Don't you hate when all of the Democrats facts come from a movie? (farenheit 9/11) and then they say we're brainwashed....

I'm a newly registered Democrat. I've also observed other Dems posting on this board for a week or two. So, who's saying what as fact from Moore's movie?
You wrote: "And as I said before, things said in the party threads are not open for debate, even in a new thread outside of the party threads."

Then what would be the point of having those threads if what is said is open for debate on the whole board?

I don't think I've had the chance to personally welcome you to the board yet. Thanks for joining in our discussions. You're posts have added to the quality of the board.
