You can scream it until you're blue in the face, but they still wont
hear. Rest safe in the knowledge that when it all comes back to hit
the US citizens they will find someone else to blame.


Just a reminder: 49% of us recognize the truth. Unfortunately, 51% didn't.


And something you should continue to remind people. Sadly it is the
51% that is forming the image of the US at the moment, and it is not a
pleasant image, not one that you would want to be associated with.

Not really. The liberals give freely with other peoples money for any
and all causes they see fit.


Exactly as the Republicans do.

Why do you keep making utterly ****weak statements that just don't
standup to the obvious? There is no difference between the 'liberals'
and ANY other government in that regard.

How much of other people's money have the American republicans given
so far to their cause of creating chaos in Iraq?

Interesting to see that one of the results of that particular cause is
that women in Iraq are now more afraid to go out on the streets as
Bush's actions have led to an increase in the levels of murder and
sexual abuse of women. It seems women are withdrawing from public life
there. No surprise of course, Bush removed a secular police state to
replace it with a chaos in which islamic fundamentalism has
flourished.

2. The administration paid bribes to journalists so they'd write
favorable
opinions of controversial administration policies.

They are not bribes and are consistent with their long held and
expressed beliefs.


If they are not bribes, what are they?


A payment.


Gosh, and it's no wonder the bloggers have gotten the journalistic
world so worried. Who the hell would take a journo seriously that had
received large amount of money for the story?

And the existence of groups like Concerned Women for America sure
doesn't help.

Note their tireless obsession with try to control how people have sex.

Strange how he switches his views back to how they were prior to his
running for president. You admire that?


Why would you think I do? Do you assume anti-Bush=Democrat?



What kind of a stupid remark is that? I think that because YOU said it:

"What I admire is the way the Democrats supported the war in Iraq"

Uh, no. Hardly the same at all. Liberals vote to tax the crap out of
the wealthy so they can give it away to others in a form of oppression
and call it compassion. They see the wealthy as greedy and a bottomless
pit for all their needs.

They call people 'liberal' thinking it
is an insult, which really is hilarious.


Liberals hate being called what they are. They want to get rid of the
word and use a meaningless word like progressive instead. Liberals are
afraid of being called what they are. They defined themselves over the
decades and now want to hide from it. That is what is hilarious.

What a pile of leftist leaning propaganda crap. At their election woman
flooded the polls and were proud to display it publicly. Several woman
ran for political office. Something unheard of. Women have formed very
public social groups for various causes. Withdrawing from public life?
Geez, its just amazing how closed the left is.

What I said was:
---------
What I admire is the way the Democrats supported the war in Iraq, yet
Bush's re-election was interpreted by him as the electorate approving
of his decision.
---------

I know that you're an American and all, but how could you NOT see that
as sarcasm?

Hey maybe we can send your ex - Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers to Iraq to
"investigate" the female situation...
