Well, by your logic the US gives money to terrorism. US buys oil from countries in the middle east such as Iran and Iraq. Iran sponcers terrorists, so we sponser terrorits. Good logic there...
Fox news spreds FUD when it comes to this issue. I prefer a new organization that isn't openly partisan.
I'm not misrepresenting anything. You're regeritating the same same stuff the bush campaign is spining out. They can't win based on the facts, so they need to win via fear.
I see you didn't actually see the debate and just took the quote out of context. He was saying unwavering certainty can blind you to the truth. If you convince yourself that you are right, then no matter what evidence you see, you won't change your mind. That is Bush in this case.
Don't comment on things you don't know about.
Also, it isn't your job to vote for someone you can relate to. Someone who is 'down to earth'. It is your job to vote for someone you feel can best represent America both domestically and in the International community. Personally, I'd rather have someone who is educated and can go 10 seconds without bumbling something up...so I'm voting for Kerry.
The independent commission investigating 9/11 proved that Saddam had no connection to it. No cash sponsorship! You want that, look at Iran and N. Korea and Lybia. I wonder why we didn't invade there? They are more of a threat than Iraq ever was. 2 of those countries actually have atomic bombs or the capability to make them.
I don't understand how people can take a side in this matter and not know / do reseach on the facts.
Bush is praying that we all just take his word for it to win this election. Read up on this. Learn his actual policies! You'll see all the lies.
Clinton lied under oath about SEX! This is something the general public has NO business knowing about. I hate it, HATE IT when politicians are called out on this. It happens all the time to many people...in many countries...in many walks of life... But OMG, a president did it! *Gasp* Let's impeach him!!! Come on. It was immoral, and wrong, but it in no way impacts how well he leads.
Bushed lied to the UN. He lied to Congress. He lied to the American People. Worst of all, he had no reason to lie! The American public rallied behind him, the international community supported us. All we needed to do was carry out a just war on terror and none of this would be an issue today. Bush would be re-elected in a heartbeat and the world would be supporting him and the US all along the way.
But instead he lied. Destroyed our credibility and split the country in two. I don't think the US has ever been this bi-partisan. BAH!! How can anyone support such a man. On top of it all, he's about as intelligent as a 5th grader.
Now then, you blame Clinton for the 1000's of deaths? Too bad it was Bush who cut the anti-terrorism budget when he took office. It was one of his first acts before going on a 4 month vacation.
Get your facts straight and open your eyes. This was is no longer about protecting Americans...it is all about the pocketbook.
Education. I personally would rather be educated than have a job. I would rather have my kids (I don't have any yet) be able to get the best education available than me having a job.
I can always eventually find a job. Times might suck for a while, but I'll get through it. But I cannot get through it without knowledge. I would be disgusted if I saw someone screw over my kid's education just to get some money.
At the end of the day knowledge is the most important thing. If you have a good education, you can go out and do just about anything you want.
Ultimatly that is why I'm not concerned about my job. If I lose it for whatever reason, I know that I won't be too hard pressed to find a new one. Yes, I might be unemployed for a while. Yes times might get a little tough. But I know that it will only be temperary.
Knowledge IS indeed power. And with that power, you can lift yourself above and accomplish anything...assuming you have the determination to do so. And to a point, I think those two things go hand in hand.
Perhaps not to you. But what about everyone who doesn't want to spend an arm and a leg to get digital cable?
I for one have no plans to get digital cable any time soon. I'd rather not drop that much cash on TV. There are more important things. I personally already think I'm overpaying for standard cable...
This deal, however, appeals to me greatly, and I'm sure there are tons of people like me who are happy about this.
I keep my windows box turned ON. I don't worry about getting viruses, worms, trojean horses or other forms of pestilence. If you have a couple of brain cells, you shoulnd't have to worry.
Oddly enough, I do worry about my Linux box being compromised...
It's funny that you started out by saying that you didn't want other interests sticking their nose in the US election, yet you like it when the US does it. Hypocritical.
I will give you one thing. Our interest does lie in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait...but it does in Iraq too. In any country with oil. By the way, Saudi Arabia has more ties with 9/11 than any other middle east country except Afganistan... I wonder why we didn't 'liberate' them?
But you mentioned a nation's peoples being oppressed and murdered. Well, that happens in a lot of counties all over the world all the time. The US doesn't step in and help them...even when the citizens DO SPEAK UP AND ASK FOR HELP. I remember shortly after the war started when an African nation asked for US help because of the regime in power there. What did the US do? Ignore them...we have no interst in that country.
What you're talking about wouldn't be bad if it were an all or nothing policy. If the basis for action was truly to help the nation and the people of the nation, I'd have no problem with it. Unfortunatly that is far from the case, so it is riddleed with hypocrisy and decete.
No. What I'm saying is where do you draw the line?
Its ok for the US to involve itself in that county, but oh no, not that other country because we don't have interests over there.
Besides you cannot compare Hitler to Saddam. They are two totally different people and situations. Last I checked Hitler invaded other countries and threatened the entire world. Saddam invaded a country once and was taken care of. He was a horrible dictator (yet I can think of numerous other horrible dictators in power right now) and deserves to die. But why is it the US's responsibility to do that? Esp. without international support?
What I'm saying is it isn't ok for the US to butt their noses in ANY other countries business unless asked, or reaching the concesses of the world community.
That's interesting. The last I checked the US has stuck their (and when I sai their, I mean our) noses in other's affairs quite often.
Lets see if I can get a list going... Russia, Almost every country in Europe, China, Vietnam, Korea, Korea again, Mexico, Canada, Russia again, every country in the Middle East, lots of African countries, Iraq again...
You did? ATI released a beta version at the same time as the game. Worked great for me.
Too bad I got bored with Doom 3 faster than the time it takes for Paris Hilton to say something stupid on camera.
Looked awesome, but the game was redundant. HL2 IMO, looks every bit as good as Doom3...just in a different way. I'm excited, and can at least hope that the game will hold my interest.

Indeed. GO PACK...may my friends never know that I will, just this once, go against the long Chicago tradition of boo-ing the Packers.
2nd post?
Bruce Campbell!!!!! w00t!
I said Iraq had no connection to 9/11. None.

I'm so worked up, I'm forgetting to say things.

And don't get me started on his domestic plans...

I've always thought of republicans as greedy and self-centered.
I've always thought of democrates as caring and optomistic.
I've knows both poor and rich democrates. In my experience it is more of a state of mind than social class.
This isn't true. Kerry wants to lower taxes on the middle class and raise them on the upper class.
:) And so will all these CS undergrads!
Last I checked, I wasn't making 200,000 plus a year, so I'll actually save money with Kerry's plan...
So, take your own advice and stop making up news.
w00t!
Education. I personally would rather be educated than have a job. I would rather have my kids (I don't have any yet) be able to get the best education available than me having a job.

Meanwhile Kerry voices his opinions to open bilateral talks in hopes of a peaceful solution...
Funny show.

Wow. What a waste of money.
shush with you fud.
I keep my windows box turned ON. I don't worry about getting viruses, worms, trojean horses or other forms of pestilence. If you have a couple of brain cells, you shoulnd't have to worry.
Oddly enough, I do worry about my Linux box being compromised...
...meanwhile, the GOP would like to strip you of all your freedoms while calling it 'Patriotic'.
I just read this today, there is a movement in the party to start monitoring people who pray at mosques. Why? Because of their religion.
Yea, since when do we need freedoms to be free anyway?

hmmm...
How can a news agency quote a website that quotes news agencies?
Is anyone else confused by that?
That really is funny.
Almost as funny as the way the FL misshap was handled.
Almost as funny as Gore winning the popular vote.
Almost as funny as several states wanted to get rid of the traditional electoral college system.

For George Bush,
What is it like knowing a 5 year old is more intelligent than you?
I'd rather have intelligence over personality. It isn't the presidents job to be charismatic, it is his job to better life if America.
Mr. Bush, what have you done in the past 4 years that shows you'd be an effective president? Cuz I sure can't think of anything...
Fair enough. Definitely something to consider. I'll be in the market for a TV shortly, and i want to do it right.
