Well, that 100% bull****. And you had the gall to call me a liar? Wow. How you weren't banned a long time ago is beyond me. Latinos voted 53% for Kerry in 2004, 9% better than Bush was able to muster. If it weren't for "whitey" (as you so gracefully put it) Bush would not have been re-elected. 58% of "whitey" voted for the village idiot (a whopping 77% of the vote was white). Blacks and Asians also voted for Kerry (88% and 56% respectively). But hey, why let the FACTS get in the way?

No - I don't think he's evil either. And the middle class in America is doing far better now than they were under Clinton. Not to mention the poor people - no one left behind legislation. Bush is not as far 'right' as most people think.

Again, more bull****. Here's the truth from a organization who focus solely on defining on how the middle class is doing.
Eighty-four percent of Americans worry that the middle class is living paycheck to paycheck, and being left behind in general.
The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 may have improved the corporate bottom line, but not that of Americans. During the first two years of the president's first term, Americans' incomes declined by more than $1,400.
Middle-class Americans are experiencing long-term unemployment. In 2003, those employed as public administrators, teachers, and retails sales workers, earning anywhere from $488 to $1,124 a week, experienced average periods of unemployment as long as eleven weeks.
Following the last recession and "jobless recovery," it is estimated that the newly created jobs of 2004 paid $8,000 less than those lost between 2001 and 2003, and were less likely to offer health insurance to their workers.
Working Americans are paying significantly more to hold onto their health insurance. In 2003, working Americans with employer-provided health insurance programs saw their premiums increase by nearly 14 percent. It's no wonder, combined with the increase in unemployment, that more than 40 percent of the 1.4 million newly uninsured in 2004 were middle class.
In 2003, more than 90 percent of the 1.6 million American families that filed for bankruptcy were middle-class--more than half named job loss, a health emergency, or divorce as the reason for filing.
To cover their monthly bills more American families have turned to credit cards as means of payment. In 2003, the average American family held more than $2,295 dollars in credit card debt.
More than 640,000 family homes were in the process of foreclosure in 2003, and more the 53,000 families actually lost their home.

Disregard for law? Now what is that? Potential and reality are two different things. When brownshirts come to your home and lock you up or kill you for the drivel you post here, I will be the first one to defend you. But in reality we are no where near that. not even close.

The Patriot Act allows for them to do just what you suggest. That is not where the admin doesn't have to worry, as they managed to hoodwink the congress into passing the bill that would allow these unprecedented powers. Where the Bush administration continues to break law is in the areas of domestic spying, illegal detainment of non-American citizens, the on-going torture in secret camps, , the outing of a CIA operative (treason), the potential lying to garner support for war, and the illegal invasion and occupation of a foreign nation. These are the issues that will lead to the impeachment of Bush.

What are you, dense? The Bush administration holds a press conference saying that the terror level has been elevated, even though it has not be raised by DHS. At least not with State or Federal agencies any ways, and they are the ones who would know of the terror level has been elevated. Just like the fudging on the CIA reports on WMDs, the Bush administration seems to read what ever they want in regards to "intelligence" (that's polite for making garbage up). Any elevation is passed along to the Federal and State bodies responsible for public safety, NOT to the media. Do you have any idea what a release would do to the agencies responsible for the public safety function if that information were willy-nilly released like that? The avalanche of BS calls would make administering the public safety mechanism next to impossible. That is why they are kept quiet and compartmentalized.

Its FACT that the supreme court gave the election to Bush.
As to the 2004 election, there were voting machine irregularities in both Florida and Ohio. Clint Curtis, a programmer from Florida, stunned the Ohio Commission investigating irregularities in the 2004 election when he told them he had been approached to write code to alter the votes made using the machines.

This link goes through to another discussion board that is dedicated to voting machines. As you can see, there are a great number of irregularities, and they just happen to be in states that Bush just managed to carry, and happened to be the swing states that carries the election.

And yes, I do believe in global warming. If you don't, you likely still believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny. How can you even question that at this point?
I'm not afriad of Bush - because you are doesn't make is that everyone is Lanny.[/quote]
You're not in politics, and you're not in America. Some of the things you say are just plain stupid, and this one is at the top of the list.

Certainly. I find both to be immoral in many ways.

Isolationist my butt. George Bush wouldn't know an isolationist policy from an imperialistic one. The guy is a blithering idiot. There is a huige difference between being an isolationist and being ignorant of the world around you. George W. Bush is the latter. 9/11 changed nothing. Bush is still a complete moron when it comes to pretty well anything. He's Dan Quayle with a dedicated handler.
