You fucking amaze me. Time to step off of that soap box.
So now to prove he's a fascist you have to stoop to pulling Gitmo. The persons at Gitmo are there because they were captured in battle. I will not get off my soap box, until such time as there is actually an argument that holds some merit. You try to take the high ground but in all actuality you have no ground to stand upon.

You want to talk about voter fraud, then lets. How many times have Democrats rigged elections??? Pendergras in Kansas City, Daly in Chicago, the unions in the Kennedy election. Quite an impresive list. ANd of course wecouldn't leave off Tammeney Hall.

If we want to rehash the 2000 election, want of the votes that were stolen from Bush in Florida by calling the election before the polls were all closed. Talk about out and out thievery. Wake up and smell the shit you are trying to shovel.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

Brother Jeb was overseeing the count in Florida, keep that in mind as well.

Think about Bush's anti-Kerry ad campaign, he made Kerry out to be a fraud when he actually SERVED HIS TIME in Vietnam. Who cares that his purple hearts weren't well-deserved, that doesn't change the fact that he answered his call and fought with the rest of the guys. What did Bush do? He joined the Air Reserve; he didn't even qualify! A family with infinite connections is the only thing that saved him from serving his tour.

Don't get me wrong, Kerry's no better than Bush, but don't say the left's problem is that it has no new ideas. Do you think Kerry speaks for all of the intellectual left? The guy's an idiot!
The democrats made vietnam an issue. Kerry wanted to highlight his service because of the preception regarding his record on defense. His record in the Senate speaks for itself. SO you know complain because we did a better job. The democrats made it an issue, and it came back to slap them in their face. You're crying over spilt milk, milk that you spilt your damn self.

Name anyone on the left that actually has a new idea, that does not involve higher taxes or new government programs. ANYONE

Speaking as someone who knows, who has been to GITMO and worked in GITMO, I assure you not everyone there was captured in battle. Some of the people there were rounded up on suspicion. And some of those people are still their, despite the fact that many who were captured in battle have been released.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

So now you use election fraud to defend election fraud? What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm not a democrat, I know they are just as pathetic as republicans. That is why you should be advocating other parties and not defending this trash!

Wake up indeed.
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I don't care what the Democrats did, the point I'm trying to make is that Bush isn't a saint. Bush isn't even a decent person; he's a liar and his cabinet is full of liars. Kerry's work in the Senate doesn't concern me, why are things so black-and-white for you?

Anyone on the left with a new idea that doesn't involve higher taxes or new government programs. Well that sure does narrow the list down... So, to tell you the truth, I can't name anyone on the left who has a new idea that doesn't involve higher taxes and government programs. You know why? Because the only new ideas that don't involve higher taxes or government programs involve some kind of treachery against any various minority group. Oppression is the key word.

You support a lying, cheating group of aristocrats because in the end, the money trickles down to YOU.

How did it come back to slap them in the face? Oh yeah, because Bush supported an ad that was not only completely false, but trying to somehow belittle Kerry's service in a war that he was not even man enough to fight in? Yeah, I call that a real slap in the face.....

Not if "the system" is run by people with the same political agenda. "The system" has given Bush some of the tools to become a dictator. (Patriot Acts...) Most Americans are ignorant, or don't care enough to know what is going on in the government...or between struggling to make a living and taking care of their children they may be too busy to see what is going on.

Hell yeah! Well said. It is the people in this country who can not afford lobbyists and don't have the time to be activists that get screwed over the most, by both parties, but the Bush Administration makes it far worse.
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
