"Worshiping our god?"

Try we will be worshiping W's god. He's a born-again, remember. Only one religion makes it to see God. He keeps telling us how holy he is and how he prays, therefore people vote for him. Do you think he tells us that so he can get your vote? The way I see it, the religous right is neither religous nor right!

Kerry picking pockets! What happened to that budget surplus Clinton left us with? It seems to me the right has mastered the pickpocket game. Conservatives are supposed to be conservative, especially with money. Almost anytime democrats are in office, things get better for Americans. Prove me wrong!

They are supposed to be for small federal govt, leave it to the states. What's with this national gay marriage amendment they were trying to pass? How about leaving the 2000 Florida election problems to the Florida courts? Nope, take it to the Supreme court before a recount.

How about the huge tax cuts for the richest of the rich, plunging us into debt?
How about refusing to raise minimum wage?
How about rewriting American history to make this a "Christian" nation?
How about changing the reasoning for the Iraq war?

They launched their 2000 campaign from Bob Jones University for Christ's sake. Isn't that a red flag to anyone but me? That's not even a real school!

The righties have had 4 years of total power and look where we are.

They have convinced the public that Republicans have the working persons interest in mind. The republicans were a huge factor to the death of Unions. They have convinced people they are "moral." They have "values." They are "Christian."

If your Christian morals and values are represented by the war mongering, hate filled, big W, go ahead support him. I don't think Christ would have done these things

Do you really believe everything they say? "The media has a liberal bias!" Really, explain Brush Lintball and the countless righties on the radio. Explain Fox News. I watch CNN and they are hardly biased.

They repeat things over and over until you all believe it.
Drink the red Kool-Aid everyone!


His supporters mostly care about 4 issues; guns, god, gays, abortion.

This pres. has been the WORST pres. in the history of our country. He should be in prison for avoiding the war, lying to us constantly.

I loved the Clinton years. Living in the Mid-west, nonstop attacks at Clinton. "He's a draft dodger!"

Now their boys are in. Nobody talks about draft dodgers. Their names and wealth kept them from fighting. How dare they question the Kerrys brave service. What a collective group of neo-con a-holes!

How could so many people be so mis-led?
I believe George Carlin described the president best, "a pathological liar."

Yes, I think we may have gone off topic a bit.

[rszappa1]

buget surplus...he should have spent some ot it on terrorism...how many hits did we have while he was in office...and what did he do..nothing...

[CREWZIN]

Apparently you were on the wrong side of both the popular and electoral vote, Arthur. Better luck with Hillary in 4 years.

Is his face getting red?

Maybe this will provide a clearer understanding as to why Kerry did not win the election:

John Kerry's "Job Application" for President

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including one in Washington DC, worth multi-millions. I served in Vietnam (four months).

EXPERIENCE:
Law Enforcement. In my career as a U.S. Senator, I've voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA, and Defense bill. I ordered the city of Boston to remove a fire hydrant in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire. I served in Vietnam (four months).

MILITARY:
I served in Vietnam (four months). I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I served in Vietnam (four months). I then returned to the U.S., joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I served in Vietnam (four months). I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book " Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier", shows how I truly feel about the military. I served in Vietnam (four months).

COLLEGE:
I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:
After College and Vietnam, I ran for the U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except marrying very rich women and running their companies vicariously through them. I served in Vietnam (four months).

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
As a U.S. Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against their budgets, thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself. Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected. I served in Vietnam (four months).

My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make little or no charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in Massachusetts, despite family wealth in excess of $ 700 million. I served in Vietnam (four months).

I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those Countries, although I blame George Bush for sending all of the other jobs out of Country. I served in Vietnam (four months).

Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts. I served in Vietnam (four months).

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
None. However, I served in Vietnam (four months).


Kerry ran for the highest office in the land, and, based on his past record he lost [B)] because the [u]majority of Americans</u> decided that he was not qualified and they did not want him to lead this great country. [|)]

Now this is impressive!


Bush Resume


I ran for President in 2000. My campaign was destined to be a miserable failure until I used a whispering campaign of lies in the South Carolina Presidential Primary organized by my chief political strategist, Karl Rove, to destroy genuine war hero and fellow Republican John McCain, claiming he had fathered an illegitimate negro child was emotionally unstable due to his torture as a POW in Vietnam and a possible brainwashed Manchurian Candidate.

In July 2001 I appointed Harvey Pitt to be the chairman of a "kinder, gentler SEC" to ease regulation of foreign businesses. The results have been the largest and most miserable failures of corporate accountability in modern corporate history: Enron, Worldcom, and now Fannie Mae.

I am the first President to unconstitutionally restrict my opponents' First Amendment rights by allowing my supporters to remain at the venue while restricting my detractors to "free speech zones," fenced-off areas up to half mile away from the media, the audience, and especially myself.

I've communicated less with the American people than any other president in the history of televised news, holding only one White House press conference every 3.25 months, compared to my father's 1.6 per month.

To prevent activist judges from rewriting the constitution to serve an agenda that Congress would never approve, I attempted to rewrite the constitution to serve an agenda they never came close to approving. My campaign for the Federal Marriage Amendment was a miserable failure: it failed to pass either house of congress. In the Senate the cloture call to end debate yielded only 48 votes, not the 67 required to pass the Senate, not the 60 votes required for cloture, not even the 50 votes of a simple majority.

My 2004 budget set the record for the largest deficit in history: either $477 billion or $521 billion (CBO and OMB numbers, respectively).

The value of the dollar has collapsed 30% during my term.

Nearly every major economic indicator has deteriorated since I took office in January 2001. Real GDP growth during my term is the lowest of any presidential term in recent memory. Total non-farm employment has contracted and the unemployment rate has increased. Bankruptcies are up sharply, as is our dependence on foreign capital to finance an exploding current account deficit. All three major stock indexes are lower now than at the time of my inauguration. The percentage of Americans in poverty has increased, real median income has declined, and income inequality has grown.

POLITICAL EXPERIENCE (FOREIGN)

As president I ignored Clinton's warnings about Al Qaeda, mentioning that organization only once in public statements on national security between January 20, 2001 and September 10, 2001. In the same time period I mentioned Saddam Hussein 104 times and missile defense 101 times.

On August 6, 2001 I received a briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" which warned that "the FBI indicates patterns of suspicious activity in the United States consistent with preparations for hijacking." For one month I dealt with numerous other issues until the unfolding of the most successful terrorist attack in US history on September 11, 2001.

With broad international approval I temporarily disrupted the Taliban government, which has now re-emerged to control much of southern Afghanistan after I abandoned this campaign for Iraq.

I campaigned strongly for war in Iraq. I claimed that:

Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction (none have been found).


Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda (Iraq opposed Al Qaeda and successfully kept their operatives out of the country before September 2001. The strongest claim to support a connection came from Czech intelligence services and is now retracted. The 9/11 commission "did not believe that such a meeting occurred".)


Iraq would give their weapons of mass destruction to terrorists (A secular Saddam would never give his "ace card" to religious elements he opposed thro

[amazingarthur]

Saying Clinton had a bad strategy on terror is simply uneducated. Join the blame Clinton bandwagon.

The left blames the terrorists for attacks the right, Clinton. It's the Blame America First crowd.

The fact is Reagan had the WORST antiterror record ever. More Islamic terrorists killed Americans during his run than any pres. He sure did his part for terror. Supporting death squads in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Guess who supplied arms to Muslim radicals like Afghani Mujahedeen and people in Iraq and Iran.

The Clinton administration thwarted attack plans to kill the Pope, and blow up 12 US jets. Not to mention attacks on UN headquarters, FBI building, and the Israeli embassy in LA, DC and Boston. Lot's more I won't list.

His first 2 crime bill had antiterrorism legislation.

A report by the Washington Post (probably biased, right?) said, "Clinton left office given greater priority to terrorism than any president before him."

On August 6th, 2001, CIA Director Tenet gave Bush a report titled, "Bin Laden determind to strick in US." It mentioned potential plane hijacking. Bush did not follow up.

Ask Richard Clark, natl antiterrorism headperson (not actual title, but something similar), he was with Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. tried warning the president about Al Queda attacks months in advance.

Despite these pleas from Clark, Ashcroft sent his Justice dept. request to Bush the DAY BEFORE 9/11 included a total of 0 programs out of 68 to deal with terrorism.

Still feel safe with W?
BTW, how do you like these post war gas prices? That's nothing to do with DUBYA, huh?

Sleep tight America! The president is on for four more years!

Recount? No. He won fair and square (for the 1st time).

Does anyone remember the 8 years of peace and prosperity under our last democratic president? I miss those days.

My new motto.....
Next election-turn left.

Mmmmm, I remember Whitewater, Vince Foster's suicide where blood ran up hill and his files on Whitewater mysteriously disappearing, getting a BJ in the Oval Office ("I did not have sex with that woman."), the famous cigar, lying, infidelity, extreme budget cuts in our military and CIA that left us very unprepared in intelligence gathering, had a chance to take out Osama Bin Laden during his presidency but didn't, I could go on and on. The man has no morals, lies through his teeth, cheats on his wife, etc, etc and you miss those days! No wonder Democrats just don't get it. If Bill Clinton is a prime example of a Democrat then I sure as he!! am glad I am a Republican. [?]
