I remember when I turned on the TV and saw the news clips rolling in announcing the attacks on the tower. I easily sat there with a deer in the headlights look for more then several minutes , dazed and confused by what I saw. I remember wondering if this was all some bad nightmare I might soon wake up from. At that point I sat in my own living room. I didn't have to worry about how to respond. I didn't have to worry about what I may say in front of a room full of innocent children. I challenge anyone to tell me that their initial response to seeing that horror on TV was to calmly move on to something else. In reality I think he showed remarkable restraint at that time with the whole world watching. I challenge that fat pig who produced that documentary to show us how he responded when he first saw the news rolling in. Show us whether he calmly reacted appropriately. My instincts tell me he probably cheered the act since he hates this country so much. The day that dirtball catchs someones bullet I'll be cheering louder then anyone.

Rep Power: 226 | Re: UPS on MSNBC last night? I invoke Godwin's Law. If you look it up, you'll know what I'm referring to.
As far as the racist preacher bits... he DID say this man was a GOOD friend of his...now - I have plenty of good friends, sure we differ on issues - but we keep the basics basic. I could not befriend someone who was a bigot or a racist - It's not like we're talking music genres here - this is some serious shiitake mushrooms.
This isn't a dude getting cut off and screaming, "F**CKING HONKEY!!" This man is in DEEP. It's not a slip of the tongue you over look on occasion...
IN...
DEEP...
A president is not a man... or a woman for that matter - it's the people around him or her... those they associate with - those that back them up, with THEIR best interests in mind... I'M SURE YOU TOOK GOVERNMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL - it's as old as democraZy itself!
I don't have a say in these matters, I'm a registered Libertarian. I just await the outcome and give the FINAL vote.
But for a good HA HA.... here's something I picked up from a friend's post on another forum! This message is from the Donnell family living in Switzerland.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Americans living overseas, we are happy to be somewhat distant from current politics . All that said we wonder what all the fuss is about...
1.
A lawyer who's a bitch and married to another lawyer
2.
A lawyer who's married to another lawyer who's a bitch
3.
A war hero married to a gorgeous gal with a beer distributorship
Is this really a tough choice? |

If you can't see this, you're so far gone that I would say you're psychotic. You're clearly obsessed with his church on an unhealthy level, as if this has anything to do with running the country. I wonder if Ted Haggard paying gay men for sex while using illegal drugs got as much airplay on Fox News as this Obama church crap got? Haggard was Bush's top Evangelical (fancy word for NUTCASE) and an adviser to the Bush administration for years. So much for fair and balanced, eh Lieguy? | As a matter of fact Haggard's problem was aired on Fox news, for several days. But Griff, there is a huge difference in someone getting caught in illicit indiscretions (of which there has been no mention that Bush ever knew about before hand and Haggard tried hard to keep his personal life out of the media) and an over the top racist preacher that openly spouts hate, yes hate for whites and America that is obviously supported by a lying ( I say lying because of his statement that he had never heard Wright's hatemongering, yeah right) politician trying to gain the office of President of the United States of America. Griff I have watched news reports from all the news media for many years with an open mind and hope that what I was hearing was the actual news and not a cloaked agenda. I agree that Fox news does in fact lean to the right, but you can not deny that the others are all very liberal in their presentations of the so-called news. I have also come to the conclusion that Fox is closer to being fair and balanced as any of the offerings on air today.

When republicans look in the mirror, are you wooed by images of Ron Reagan and John Wayne complete with cowboy hat atop of myjestic white horses. Their marketing schemes of evoking bravery, courage, heroric warriors strikes such a patriotic nerve that many citizens have voted based on this imagery alone even when they flat out disagree with the GOP's position on key issues. Well, your marketing ploy has been time-tested, but is unraveling by avoiding debate on real issues. When they actually do voice opinions, its nothing more than a smear campaign of the supposed weakness and elitism of the Democrats. Now thats Absurd thinking "My Friend". |

When candidates have zero character, we "cowboys" just sit back and watch them self-destruct. "Weakness" and "elitism" will always, eventually, become evident. |

All our money is being spent in a  hole of a country, meanwhile OUR country is falling apart by the seams, that kind of financial plan would seem great to complete idiots. What makes that so funny is the fact so many "educated" Americans are getting right back in line for another 4 years of Bush policy by voting for McCain. Blindly following policy that only benefits the financial elite on the backs of middle America. I have an idea, why don't you guys start calling yourselves what you really are because you aren't conservative by any means of the definition -- you are masochists.
Tieguy wants to talk about cheering over someones death? I guess I'll do the same: Here's hoping for the next 9/11 to take place in the biblebelt somewhere. |

Your priorities tend to change when things actually start affecting you personally. I lost a dear friend in the 104th floor south tower and we have no business being over in Iraq. The "war on terror" is a scam and a joke sold to the American people under false pretenses, just like the rest of the fake wars that this country claims to fight. The war on drugs, the war on crime, the war on illiteracy, the war on aids, the war on cancer, the war on poverty -- what has been the result of all these wars? I'll give you a hint, they are still ongoing and always will be because they cannot be won. It's not our job, duty or role to spread Democracy to the world -- this is nothing short of arrogant meddling. |
