    His deception was so good that he pretty much fooled everyone.

    That is an idiotic lie.

    I never bought it, nor did millions of other people who did anything to inform themselves apart from watching the mainstream media which was full on selling the war from the start. The UN inspectors sure didn't think he had any.

    In any case, we can do away with that whole "Bush lied to go to Iraq" nonsense. That was debunked long ago. Most countries agreed with the U.S. that Saddam had WMDs so the case cannot be made that, in the run-up to the war, that it was an intentional deception on Bush's part.

    No, we can't do away with that since it has been proven beyond any possibility of a doubt. It was never debunked, you're just an ignorant fool parroting the fascist party line in the face of all the evidence. I know it takes courage to admit you're wrong, so I certainly don't expect to see that out of the type of scum who support this treasonous regime but at least just STFU and quit repeating repeatedly debunked lies.

    The population has been misinformed by the liberal media, as I have said. The mainstream media parrots a bunch of Democratic party lines... not because the Democrats are right, but because the media is an extension of the Democratic party.

    Again, what color is the sky on your planet? That particular line of bullshit is so crazy that it's not even worth trying to convince you since you have a religious belief in it and so are beyond the reach of reason.

    The reason why support for the war in Iraq is so low is precisely because of the media. Consequently, Bush's low approval ratings are a direct result of the media's opposition to the war in Iraq.

    Batshit insane lies and nothing besides.

    The media's lukewarm support for the truth had been forced on them by the decent patriotic people who were smart enough and brave enough to stand up and call bullshit on the administration's spin which defined the media coverage of the whole Iraq debacle until very recently. My position and that of millions of other good people hasn't changed since invading Iraq in response to a bunch of Saudi Arabians based out of Afghanistan was first mentioned, and we've been proven right at every turn. That is why the media has to do at least a half ass job of dealing with the truth now after years and years of their lying bullshit which you keep repeating.

    Bush's low approval ratings are due to the fact that he has consistently failed to do anything worthwhile throughout his entire administration. He has made himself one of the worst traitors this nation has ever seen. He has destroyed our integrity and our economy.

    You're such a scumbag to by lying so blatantly in support of such a disaster. All because you're too cowardly to admit you were wrong. Grow up and act like a man.

    Again, if you think the media is conspiring with this administration, you're blind. Or so completely out in the left-field of the political spectrum that Democrats look conservative to you. The war in Iraq does have relevancy in the war against terrorism but people as far left as you will never admit it--heck, they probably won't even understand the reasons why.

    Ahh, yes, pretend that anyone who disagrees with your delusions *must* be on "the left". You would have lost all credibility as the partisan hack you proved yourself to be with that nonsense if you actually had any at this point.

    I hate to break it to you, Sparky, but hatred of Bush comes from all over the political spectrum. Hell, all you need to hate Bush is to be a decent human being.
    The idea that invading Iraq had anything to do with terrorism is something only an ignorant fool could believe given that the PNAC documents stated flat out that their desire to invade Iraq was based purely on economic goals.

    Wow, Dude. What color is the sky on your planet?

    The current administration started with lying propaganda from the start and the mainstream media was entirely complicit with the completely bullshit selling of this war on entirely false pretenses.

    So, no, it is nothing at all like "oh the poor innocent administration is just countering the evil media propaganda.

    It's not the government or the military fears the citizens of the United States, they fear the consequences of those citizens only being influenced by the propaganda of the mainstream media which is no more pure than that produced by the administration/military.

    Bullshit. They are scared to death of an informed population which is why we've heard nothing but blatant lies out of them. Why do you think there are still morons who think this war has anything to do with terrorism or protecting America? It's due to the government and the media conspiring together against the citizens.

    I consider the vast majority of what is broadcast as supposedly neutral "news" to be biased and, in many cases, the propaganda arm of the Democratic party.

    Then you are an ignorant delusional fool, completely divorced from reality. Not only is there no evidence for such a ridiculous idea, there isn't even a mechanism by which it could happen. The MSM is owned by large corporations and run in the interests of those corporations. War makes cash so that's what they support.

    I mean just spend a couple minutes thinking and the idiocy of your position becomes quite obvious.

    If out media were anywhere near *neutral*, then this entire administration would have been executed years ago for their many blatant acts of treason. That would be the result of a clear concise unbiased reporting of their chosen actions and nothing more.

    The media isn't neutral, they are far right wing as they have to be given who owns them.

    I have. I have never compared Clinton to Hitler. Unfortunately, it's not just the "FAR" left that does it. Take a look at MSNBC's highest rated commentator comparing [youtube.com] Bush to Hitler. At Huffington, you see comments like the following:

    The fact is that there a mass of very close comparisons to be drawn between Bush and Hitler.
    That's called rational thought. It's also called being aware of who he is, who he's surrounded himself with, and what they've done.

    Now, the first thing to keep in mind, since we both know that you will lie through your teeth and attempt to portray any reference to Hitler as a reference to the holocaust, is that our (the allies) declarations of war against Germany and our problems with Nazis had nothing at all to do with the holocaust.

    So given that the holocaust was entirely irrelevant to our decision to enter WW2, it's obvious that there were plenty of other problems with Hitler than the holocaust.
    In almost all cases, those are the things people are referencing when comparing Bush to Hitler.

    So, of course you haven't compared Hillary to Hitler because those comparisons do not exist to be made.
    The comparisons between Bush and Hitler are many and accurate. From the fact that his grandfather committed treason to aid the Nazis when we were at war with them to his entirely unapologetic use of Goering's philosophy to get the American people working against their own best interests:

    "Why, of course, the people don't want war," Goering shrugged. "Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

    The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

    Add in the fact that Wolfowitz got his PhD studying under the number one proponent of Nazi philosophy, especially "the big lie", and you see that not only are the comparisons to Bush valid, they're critical to understanding this administration.

    So your feeble attempt to try and claim moral high ground by not making bogus comparisons while you're attacking reasonable comparisons on a basis of total nonsense is typical of the cynical contempt for honesty which has become a defining characteristic of Republicans over the last 30 years.

    We're not stupid, and we're pretty sick of that sort of disgusting contempt for integrity, ethics, and morality. So just stop it already. Nobody but the dumbest of the dumb of our society buys it any more.

    You're right. Maybe I should have said "far left". You can not deny the raw hatred that comes from the far left of this country. Granted, I'm sure there is just as much from the far right (the KKK for example), but Republicans tend to distance themselves from that level of politics.

    That's nothing but batshit insane idiocy and lies.

    The whole hatred as part of politics is the triumph of the Republican party and the defining characteristic of their campaigns.

    From campaigning on a platform of gay hatred, to the redefining of "Liberal" to a meaningless slur, to comments like your nonsense about "the left" .

    There is no meaning or value to any of those statements, but you almost never hear a Republican speaking publicly without calling upon one of those demonisations.

    Heck, McCain lost to the most anti-American, anti-Christian coward due in large part to Bush spreading rumors about his black baby.

    So, seriously, that crap is old, tired and none but the most cowardly of the fools clinging to the shattered shreds of the Republican party still buy into anything that idiotic.

    Osama bin Laden and Bush/McCain are on the same side against us. However, Osama hasn't done much of anything to us compared to the damage Bush has caused and McCain has stated his intention to continue.

    Notice he didn't say that he WANTED to be in Iraq for 100 years. He said he would do what it takes to protect America.


    Ahhh, that's the thing though. Going into Iraq was a complete disaster form the perspective of "protecting America". There was no reason to go in nad there is no reason to stay.

    So, obviously, he does want to stay there for a hundred years since he has no legitimate reason to even be there, let alone remain there.


    So please, stop lying about McCain. I didn't even finish the rest of your McCain rant. If you can't be honest about what he said in the first two sentences, you've lost all credibility over the rest.
