psychx, Bush did not draft dodge. He joined the National Guard, trained on jet fighters, and then was denied a tour of duty in Vietnam for the Air Force because the equipment he had worked on was obsolete.
psychx, we went to Kosovo under false pretenses too, remember that.
Everybody says that Bush went to war over oil. Well if that's the case, why don't we go to war with Brunei, because they're a lot smaller country with a more pitiful army than Iraq, and they have as much as Iraq does!
Sorry about that double post, my computer said there was an error....
BulbousHead, you don't like people lying to you about our overseas affairs. Please tell me, then, how you were able to stand Clinton's 2 terms?

Presidents can't win a campaign by not firmly establishing their plan of action. In 2000 I paid attention to the news and read up a lot but I still couldn't understand what Gore was actually for. I remember that he was a very boring man like Kerry, and that he lost the election after several recounts which still showed him losing. Yes, Bush sued to end the recounts, but that was most likely due to being tired of hearing recounts every day. The liberal
BulbousHead, we were indignant about their role in the Iraqi war because they weren't willing to fight, but they were damn well ready to step in and rebuild Iraq for a profit. I think that's horseshit myself.
I'll concur that the freedom fries thing was going a little far. Wahkonta, we pulled France's ass out of the fire on several occasions, including WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. Even after that they're unwilling to assist in the Iraqi war until they get a benefit out of it (they sent several contractors to help reconstruct Iraq, but were turned down in favor of Halliburton). Yes, France's assistance in the Revolutionary War was needed for our victory, but if w
I believe that people don't get interested in politics because they don't care. I work at a McDonald's, and every person I asked about the election said they didn't care who won, and they weren't excited about the election at all. How sad is that, when people stop caring about the future leader of the country? All I think the media has done is create a jaded population who just doesn't care anymore. Nobody cares about the president's view on finance re
Who cares? Nobody cared when Kerry was getting money from a Communist general.
Ok, there are other dictators in power. But do they have a habit of throwing children in jail? Torturing and even murdering Olympic soccer team members? We've found mass graves in Iraq, and that's more than we can say in Kosovo. Please, tell me what Kerry will do when he's president?
Don't think that I'm going to start talking about how much I dislike this country. This country is the best one on the planet and I'm damn well pleased to be living here. I can have my own opinions, make my own decisions, and even open a business if I have the inclination and motivation to do so. People say how much the rest of the world hates America, and if that's true, why do we have the largest immigration rates in the world. Plainly put: people kn
Why are people so Anti-American? People say that $88 billion dollars is like a lot of money, and to them I say pshaw. That's small potatoes compared to the rest of our budget, and it was for a war that was more necessary than the Kosovo one. I find it funny that it's only been a few months after the war and people are complaining about what a failure it is. Geez, it's like we have to have all the problems solved the day after fighting ceases.
I just love how people who hate Bush won't even say why they particularly enjoy Kerry. His whole campaign has been 'Get Bush Out.' If he gets elected, let me tell you how fun it's going to be when we have no idea what he's going to do in the White House. People bring up the Iraq war 'failure' and I have to say that's crap. There was a tyrannical dictator there who was throwing kids in jail (not 17 year-olds, 7 year-olds), and we ousted him. The last ti
Drugs need to be gotten rid of. Period. I have had around 10 friends I have watched go from some of the smartest kids in school to the biggest drug addicted losers. You wanna know how fun it is to watch your friends throw their lives away? This wasn't cocaine or heroin, it was pot. Yep, harmless old pot ruined my friends' lives, and now they've dropped out of school and work at gas stations, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyer, and Safeway. Funny, I thought this drug

Thank you, Messy Buu, for understanding my qualms.
Yeah, I realize that America was at the conference when Hitler was starting to take over countries, but it wasn't our problem. We were trying to let Europe solve their own freakin problems, and they obviously failed.

Yeah, I'm embittered because the teachers have no control over a lot of the students. It bothers me that my learning is stunted because the teacher has no control over the kids and can't do a thing about it.
I'm really sick of people hating America. Yeah, we've messed up, but not as badly as Europe. Hell, they let Hitler take back the Rhineland without so much as a peep, and let him build up his army without doing a damned thing about it. Now, however, people are content to sit back and blame everything on America. It seems like we're damned if we do, and we're damned if we don't.

I'm a high school student right now, so I can tell you the problems that teacher's unions face. I know a lot of teachers in my school are just downright incompetent, they either (a), teach a completely worthless class (health) or (b) they don't know what they're doing, and for some reason they are allowed to 'teach,' even though what they say is worthless and all anybody does is learn to cheat the teachers' system. I just find it a joke that my parents
Teachers' Unions have effectively crippled the American educational system. No longer can teachers be fired for being incompetent. Now they get to stay unless they do something like molest a student. That is bunk, no matter how you look at it. In addition, the fact that teachers have little to no control over the kids in their classroom is garbage. I like particularly how a ridiculously large amount of 'learning disabilities' have been staple
Zergimmi, one question: how do you expect the Jews of Israel to treat people who have for many decades blown themselves up to forward their cause?
I think it's funny that the left is crying about how Bush 'lied,' and it seems to be their primary focus as we head into the next presidential election. Where were these people when mass graves weren't found in Bosnia? I don't remember the media screaming about lies then. The fact hasn't changed that Saddam is a MONSTER, okay, he had prisons for kids. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that's probably the most messed up thing I've ever heard of in my li
Alright, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me on this, but I don't care. I think that instead of welfare sending the person/family a check every month, they should have their bills paid with a portion of the money they're alloted, then they should get coupons allowing them to get about a months worth of food. I think giving people money is a bad idea. There are a lot of impoverished people in my town (recent layoffs have killed over 100
