Well, here's one that's bought into the hate rhetoric of conservative talk radio and Fox News.
For the record, it is GWB who has allowed Osama Bin Ladin to escape. He took troops away from Afganistan to go attack a country that was not even a threat to us.
I do love America and believe in her greatness. Unfortunately with every passing month, the Conservatives destroy all that is great about this country. The destroy freedoms through the Patriot Act. They destroy allied relationships by breaking international law. They rape human rights by abusing prisoners.
Topic: RE: Accuracy in Media
Ok.. and what would YOU consider a real, non-partisan news source?? Democratic Underground?? CBS? Yeah... we make up stories based on forged documents and just hope there may be some truth.. OOPS... there wasn't..
Seriously, though.. The president (AND John Kerry, And most everyone else in this country for that matter) DID feel that Iraq DID have WMDs..it was only after we invaded that we found no WMDs.
Personally, I think Iraq DID have WMDs.. but the mistake WE made (Yes, I admit our very own Bush administration made a mistake..).. I think we gave Iraq way too long to get rid of, actually more like HIDE their WMDs.. probably somewhere in some neighboring country. If you remember, we were threatening them and threatening them for months before we finally attacked, giving them plenty of time to hide the weapons. It's kinda like if you thought your child had cocaine or something. You'd say "Son.. I know you have drugs in your room and your going to be in big trouble! NEXT WEEK I'm going to do an inspection of your room and if you have it, you're grounded forever". Now, if you give him that long, what do you think he's going to do?? Hide it.. maybe at a friend's house.. if he gets REALLY desperate, maybe even flu**** down the toilet. But that doesn't mean he didn't have the drugs or won't have them again in the near future. You just gave him way too long to hide the evidence. This is exactly what I feel happened with the WMDs in Iraq. Saddam still had 'em, just not where we could find them.
I will agree that I don't agree with everything that President Bush has ever done. I don't think he is perfect. And to be totally honest, I'm not against all democrats. Back about 10-15 years ago when I lived in Pennsylvania, we had a governer named Bob Casey. He was a democrat, and a great man. Had I been old enough at that time (I was only about 17) I definately would have voted for him. The point I'm trying to make is that I usually vote based on the person, not always on the party. It's just that I happen to agree with the republicans 90 times more than I do the democrats.

... just pointing out the ridiculous nature of the source... If it had come from a legitimate source I would have taken it seriously and either agreed or argued each point. It's the political equivalent of US World News, that checkout stand rag that always has headlines like "Grandmother gives birth to alien twins."
There are some legitimate sites that highlighted truths about both candidates (one put out by the Annenberg Foundation, I think), that try to present a balanced picture. This certainly isn't one of them. The bottom line is I don't care if Kerry lied about where he was some Christmas. We have a President who lied to us about getting into a war! That's the number one news story of 2004!
What was presented wasn't the truth and it certainly didn't hurt.

Yeah, Kathy..
Sidestep the issue, why don't you?
I've noticed in your post that you didn't deny ANY of the many valid points on the post that M H posted..
Truth hurts when it's flung back at you, huh??

Congratulation Karl Rove. Another pidgeon bought your lies. If the Democrats had one, then the burden of unification would be ours. Conseervatives won, so the challenge to unify the country is YOURS.
It's because I love America that I want to see it thrive. I don't want us to be less than the world power we were before W took over. Why do you feel everyone must agree with you? That's the way Hitler felt. Are we there yet?

All I had to do was go to the website and read the "Who We Are." Thanks I got a good laugh. I've never seen a site that publishes the CV of the Mailroom Manager. What a brain trust you found! If ever there was a site of "Who's not Who" in media, you found it. ...and their average IQ is what? 80?

Excellent post, M H!
...Hmm... I wonder where No Surrender is now??
Maybe eating some of that shoe leather she likes to recommend to all those who disagree with her??
Be careful, No Surrender... Shoe Leather is NOT good for your pouch!

This simplicity of the Democratic plan of unity is so simple it evades you. Bury our heads in the sand, worship satan and turn the country over to the great democratic idol Osama Bin Ladin.
It is real simple either you believe in America ar you hate America. It seems the Democrats haver chosen the latter quite strongly.
Topic: RE: get a life
Sally,
There's no need to apologize for hurting someone's feelings. All these people (No Surrender, Kathy, Kelle, etc) have ever done to me since I began posting on here is say rude things to me. And not once have they ever, ever apologized to me. So I think it's pretty "ironic" that those same individuals were so offended by your comments. You were just making an observation, that's all. With all the postings No Surrender has been posting lately, it would appear that the only life she has is to bring down the Bush administation in any way she possibly can.
She really does need to get a life!
