Reply to The Problem With John F. Kerry in Politics JoeUser Forums

Well-stated, P_F. I believe your summation is quite accurate. The fact that Kerry can be eloquently vapid does nothing to persuade me that I should reconsider my preference for President. President Bush is solid and resolute, if inarticulate - unlike Kerry, he has core principals and beliefs to be inarticulate about, his actions and clearly sincere Love of Country speaking much louder than his words. In the all-time "political chamel

COL Gene - There is no eveidence that Bush "failed to obey orders" - that is a bit of wishful fiction that some won't allow to die. The reason he did not fly after April '72 is that he was not qualified in (trained to fly) the aircraft used by the Alabama unit, which is the reason he didn't complete his flight physical - he knew he would have no opportunity to fly again before he left the Guard. He was not AWOL. But enough already. What di

Reply to How did 'The Left' become associated with left? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think TheFazz is onto it. I'm pro-choice, for stem-cell research, believe the war on drugs is the real wrong war, and have no problem with gay marriage, either, all of which happens to be totally consistent with being a Goldwater Republican, which is the closest thing to an appropriate "label" I can think of for me. So us righties are more like you lefties than you think (at least some of us; actually a lot of us, I suspect). I also happen

Don't you find it interesting that someone with the handle "liveletlive" is such a sanctimonious jerk? I would have expected someone soothing, reasonable and tolerant of others' views. Just shows you what a distorted image some of us have of ourselves. Cheers, Daiwa

stevendedalus - Here's the problem, at least as I see it: There is no perfect method of knowing the specifics of when, where and how terrorists will strike us or of knowing who's harboring &/or supporting them. Note I said perfect. The terrorists will make sure that is as difficult as possible, with all their strength and cunning. 9/11 happened. I don't want to see 9/11 The Sequel. You are simply wrong to

drmiler - That was intended as a small joke, obviously not a very good one. I meant to convey that since Furry Canary had nothing to say about the topic, he changed the subject to your formatting. I think little_whip's vote for Bush is safe. Cheers, Daiwa

people that see themselves as Republicans, feel compelled to support their Rep. nominee, regardless of whether or not they truly like him. This is a false & facetious statement, not to mention insulting. There are any number of issues on which Mr. Bush and I hold differing views. Some of my vie

First, let me apologize for going overboard there just a tad. Not very PC. True, but not very PC. I'll try to do better, use asterisks or something. Bullshit!

And now we learn that CBS never had the original documents in their possession. There are no original documents for them to submit to independent examination. Dan Rather is an even bigger idiot than we thought for running with a story he could not even come close to confirming. Cheers, Daiwa

Personally, I am convinced that these are forgeries, and I am convinced that they were planted by Republicans, or with the cooperation of the Republicans. (If they are reasonably smart, it will turn out to be the latter.) On the basis of what evidence , exactly? First the documents are claimed to

That's hysterical, Messy!! Great link!. Here's their line of reasoning: IF it is possible that some 1973-73 vintage typewriter somewhere could type a proper superscript, and IF it is possible that some such typewriter could have used a font similar (or identical to) Times New Roman, and IF it is possible that some such typewriter could have accidentally gotten the hea

"And you can only be impeached for acts committed while in office, so you're gonna have to try claiming the Iraq war was an impeachable offense, or something else - I have complete faith you can come up with something." I'll retract that part - you're claiming he lied while in office. OK, not good enough (& not proven), but OK. Cheers, Daiwa

if the whitehouse believes cbs owes bush a retraction, i doubt theyll be shy about demanding one. until they do, this is all so much noise that's ultimately distracting attention from much more serious questions, not the least of which is bush's honesty. if its an impeachable offense for a sitting (or possibly standing ) preside

CrispE, you're really reachin'. 1) The evidence is inconclusive. It is not conclusive that YOU can duplicate the document with Microsoft Word. This only says the technology to forge is available, but is not a smoking gun. The "technology to forge" would be a typewriter in use in 1972 & 1973<
