As for Guiliani...
WEll.. he didnt do what any other mayor would have done (it goes without saying they would have to be a conservative)
And as for GWB, He has been a great president and this war has been the best thing.(when you said dangerous president, i assume you are refering to the war) | You have to be blind, deaf and dumb to think the war in Iraq is just or the best thing. It has hurt our country globally, economically, and decreased our saftey against terrorism. | The 'War on Terror' has done nothing but to spread terror around the world. George Bush is the worst terrorist the world has ever seen. All he has done with this administration is turn out to be the best weapon Osama bin Laden has in his arsenal. | I think calling him the worst terrorist is utter stupidity... He has definately made bad choices in this war but his intention was not to murder millions of innocents. | I'll admit it was an extreme statement meant to over-emphasize the point. |

Even as a Republican I am not going to agree with everything the Administration does and that means supporting a war that should never have happened. I know Bush had good intentions but the bottom line is he fucked up...

Level up: 56%, 142 Points needed | | FLrep, you are exactly like I was when I first started debating, I was an ignorant Republican only set upon my ways and that of the party. It took debating people like this to open my eyes and realize that you shouldn't stand for everything that your party believes. Last year I never thought I would be calling this war unjust but the truth is it's just that. If you continue to debate you are going to pick up more moderate positions on things. I never thought in a million years I would agree with a Liberal on anything...

Would you like them to be higher?? | Being that we are the worst polluter in the world, yes I do wish they higher. It would promote public transportation which would help perserve the environment. Quote:
And we know that the war in "IRAQ" doesnt really have anything to do with 9/11. look at some of the archives, i think the iraqi's are glad some one is finally helping them 
nitenite ha
| We all know? I guess what you are saying is "the democrats were right"   
Why are republicans so gullible? So easily lead? Is it lack of education? I really would like to know. Democrats aren't far behind...
I still think we need more parties in the mix for a true democracy. http://www.chrisgates.net/irv/ Instant Runoff Voting is still the future of a true American democracy | The Republicans are not gullible just ignorant...They don't want to admit that there was no direct connection between Al Quaida and Saddam, you know basically anything to prove what Bush did was not the worst thing that could have happened.

It's good to know that our little niche' on the web is doing some good. | |

Our government was set up to centralize power between the two parties and I for one think our democracy is lacking because of it.
