13. happy??
How can you talk shit about freepers and then act like one? You actually think that Bush is happy that soldiers are dead? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you're just exaggerating because you're emotional or whatever, but please.. quit saying things like that. Everyone's going to think YOU'RE the moron.

unless! - you are a freeper, and you're acting like an asshole on purpose. grow up.

18. I'm sure Bush is very happy.
Those eleven hundred corpses won him reelection. Why do you think he had them killed in the first place?

24. And You Have
Proof that Bush isn't happy about dead soldiers? If you do please share it with the rest of us, because you see he's going to be sending in more soldiers that will be killed and wounded, and only someone who gets a kick out of death, like George did with Carla Faye Tucker would continue to send troops into the jaws of death because of his personal beliefs.

Show me one incident where Bush even attended one single burial for any soldier that came home in a box. Yes we know he does great PR work by going to Walter Reed and handing out medals, and he visits military bases to pump up the troops.

We also know that his words are bereft of any real feeling about these young men and women tha he keeps sending, and as long as his daughters don't go he could give a shit.

By the way the VA will be losing over 500 staff positions in the 2005 budget, and the proposal for the 2006 budget will take away about 510,000,000 dollars from the VA.

So yes I would say that Bush is happy about soldiers dying, because if they die then they won't have to use any VA benefits, and he can give more tax breaks to his rich pals and family members.

As a former soldier I think that Bush is happy that soldiers are dying
because with their deaths he can push his agenda forward by making the sheep and kool-aid drinkers feel guilty about not "supporting the troops", by not supporting him. The man is a butcher, and I think that he would kill his own father if it would gain him something.

George Bush The Butcher of Iraq, just like Saddam, only he's Christian.

38. Sorry, but I think that is a completely ridiculous thing to say.
Bush may be showing a lack of compassion and caring for these dead soldiers, but that hardly means that it makes him happy when soldiers die. Do you have proof that he IS happy when soldiers die?

I'm sure I'll get shit for saying this, but he IS human. He might be the least intelligent, most evil, corrupt, and wrong president we've ever had, but he's not SAURON, for God's sake. He's not SATAN himself. Do you think he reads the news from Iraq every day and says "Excellent" like Mr. Burns? I'm sorry to disagree with you, but I just have enough faith in mankind to believe that George W. Bush, despite all of his shortcomings, has enough of a conscience to not have the same reaction to seeing dead soldiers as a child does to seeing puppies.

And I think that is a logical way to feel.

49. Actually I stand corrected.
I think you're right. He just doesn't give a crap. Being happy about it would require too much effort for the tinhorn dictator.

46. I DO believe Bush is Sauron
By his own admission he does not read the daily papers, he prefers that one of his aids reads and filters the news for him.

I don't know if Bush feels glee at dead American soldiers but I don't think he loses a lot of sleep at the prospect of more dead American soldiers. After all most of them come from the working class and he sure does not interact with the working class! No one his daughters know will be going to Iraq. It's a situation that does not touch him personally (and this is true of most of the politicians, as Michael Moore demonstrated in F 9/11)

42. Yes, I say bush** is happy about dead soldiers
he's closing vet hospitals, he's still not armoring them or sending them bullets, he let al qaa qaa be looted because he did listen to plans about sending enough troops to guard THE EXPLOSIVES we know about.

that asshole LOVES DEAD SOLDIERS.

10. Did some freeper hijack your account?
Bush did NOT win in a landslide, not even close.

He barely got the necessary 270 electoral votes.


Walton O'Dell and Diebold came through for Bush, just like he promised.

28. F 9/11 Made This As Close As It Was
Without F 9/11 and Dean, Kerry would've ran a Dukakis campaign and gotten a REAL beating.

WITH F 9/11, Kerry went after Bush and Bush had to turn to Rove and his vile gay-baiting to the evangelicals which was the real cause of the loss of this election.

In case you didn't know.

Do you think that MM's support might have hurt Kerry's campaign or something, or that F9-11 might have energized Bush's base? I'm sorry, I don't fully understand your comment.

And $120 million in box office receipts pretty much say Moore is also a winner.

What are you expecting? He did everything he could, he is not a loser and he fought to the end. What did you do? Kudoos to Mike Moore, he does not need to be raked through the mud. He worked his heart out, sorry whoever you are, go fly a kite with the shrub.

14. No the reason we lost is because we don't have ENOUGH Moore's..
The left has Coulter, Hannity, Savagae, Boortz, and any number of flat out insane, lying loose cannons who get to pollute our airwaves and our media every day. Humorless fuckers who are allowed to not only lie but to have those lies eaten up and spit back out by the mainstream media, while our side is represented by apologetic, wishy washy, mealy mouthed "liberals" like Susan Estrich or Pat Caddell.

Fuck that. Michael Moore helped get us many more votes than anyone will ever be able to calculate.

23. Michael Moore turned on his camera and recorded Bush in action.
He held up a portrait of a man so morally bankrupt that he sent
our young people to die in order to pump up his demented ego. He
had this war planned as soon as he took office and the tragedy
of 9/11 gave him an excuse to implement his desire for war. HE
needed a war to look like a man.

He showed the American people the face of their fearless leader
sitting frozen to his little chair reading a book about a goat
after being told that the WTC was attacked. He turned his camera
on an inept, frightened puppet in way over his head.

Michael Moore is not the enemy. The enemy is the horrifying stupidity
and religious fanaticism of our fellow citizens who would desire a
morally unfit bully to lead them to some sort of religious salvation
by legislating against anyone who is not like them.

No, Michael Moore is a hero. The people who are too stupid or
unwilling to see the truth are the losers.

Unlike all these anonymous posters (inluding, of course, myself).

He's a goddamn hero. He told the truth as he saw it.

in North Carolina who is always supporting Bush and tring to justify the war in Iraq. If she really is proud of Bush then she should put it on her nightstand and wake up to this every morning. Then let her try to tell me that I am wrong about George Bush.
