Was with a bit of amusement that I saw the Republicans in here has a thread that we are supposed to stay out of (see Republican Treehouse)....guess they feel a need to have secret meetings, and might even have a secret handshake to get through the door, so thought those of us on the side of reason and intellect should have our own little hide-away as it were. So, kick your shoes off, pour yourself a drink and lets discuss the issues.

Sometimes, war is a necessary evil, but it should never be your first choice as it seems to be with President Bush, but instead used as a last resort when all other efforts to resolve the conflict have been exhausted.

I have heard that sometimes people sew Canadian flags on their luggage when travelling abroad becuase of some of the anger towards americans out there. Just don't say you're Canadian in the heart of Bush country. Our stand on the Iraq war hasn't made us too popular down there. Also not popular is our commie pinko healthcare system.

I work for Halliburton, on my way to Iraq. There are men, women, ex-military, and people from other countries here waiting to be deployed. I have noticed a few things:

1. About 95% of the women I have talked to are voting for Kerry.

2. The older ex military guys are voting for Bush.

3. The younger ex military guys are voting for Kerry.

4. The people that are from other countries(Kenya,England, France, Germany, Brazil, El Salvador) all say that they wouldlike to see Kerry in office. (I talk to everyone!!!)

I just thought this was some interesting demographics.

Hi Sondra:

I have actually formed some wonderful real life friendships with people I've met online, but you are right, this is a board, so try not to take it serious. As for saying things to deliberately rile people up...would I do that?

It seems there was this Republican bartender who hated Democrats coming in and telling Republican jokes. You know, like, "How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?" "None. Republicans don't know they're in the dark."

Anyway, this Republican bartender got sick of the jokes, so he bought a gorilla. He trained the gorilla so that when he waved his finger, the gorilla would grab the guy next to him and throw him out the door. After the gorilla did this, the bartender would give him a banana.

Well, one night it got really hot and heavy on the Republican jokes, (It may have been their convention or something) and the bartender gave the ape a beer. Well, the ape really liked that beer.

So the gorilla is standing at the bar drinking his beer, and in walks a short, scawny, little sawed-off Irish Democrat. He walks up to the bar, leans in, and says to the bartender, "Say now, would like the hear a Republican joke."

Well, the bartender waved his hand. The Irish Democrat doesn't see this, but the ape does. The ape slams down his beer, grabs the little Irish Democrat and heads for the door. The Irish Democrat reaches up and grabs two hands full of hair and he and the ape both go through the door.

The building shakes and the plaster falls off the wall and trash cans in the alley go flying, and soon everything it quiet.

In walks the little Irish Democrat, dusting himself off. He walks up the the bartender and says, "Now that's the trouble with them Republicans. Get a little hair on their chest, a little beer under their belts and they think their fighters."

I agree. I'm not a total pacifist. I was in agreement for the first Gulf War when Iraq invaded Kuwait....I was for the invasion in Afghanistan to root out Al Quaida. This Iraq war is a different kettle of fish entirely. Completely unecessary and the deaths and injuries a terrible tragedy....a PREVENTABLE one.

I understand the good intentions of getting rid of Saddam (seeing as all the other reasons they gave to invade has proven totally false)....but the war to hell is paved with good intentions and the price for this has been way to high.

Bush is not overly bright, but he is shrewd, sort of like the carnival shucksters that talks you out of every last dollar in your wallet before you even know you are broke.

That's funny but I liked the joke within the joke even better.

"How many Republicans does it take to change a lightbulb?" "None. Republicans don't know they're in the dark."
