9. Is he secretly giving them free drugs? sex tours of Bangkok?

It is incomprehensible to me that so many pacifists seem so convinced that it is in the nations best interest to solidify the transition to military dictatorship by installing a general who does not rule out nuking other countries and whose main claim to fame is destroying the Serbian infrastructure while leaving the army remarkably intact (and a remarkable number of Kosovars remarkably exploded) and enshrining Sloboism as a kind of holy cause and entrenching the occupation of Kosovo.

(for those who are unaware of current conditions in the Balkans, Kosovo is still occupied, and Slobo's party is the most popular in Serbia, much more so than Slobo could ever have dreamed, and his ethnic cleansing squads are about to be deployed to Afghanistan to do what they do best)

Serb paramilitary troops who last saw action in the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo in 1999 are being trained for anti-terrorist duties in Afghanistan beside some of the US forces who helped expel them from the Yugoslav province. The 1000-strong force comprises some former members of the "red berets", a feared military police unit which helped lead the campaign to drive the Albanian majority out of Kosovo and wipe out Kosovo Liberation Army resistance fighters.

31. It was the intial breaker
Then I learn this other stuff. I dont discuss it much but its true. I opposed Kosovo, with NAFTA and Welfare Reform, Clinton's biggest folly IMO. Did you know that Dennis opposed that war? Isnt that couragious, I like a man who opposes a war no matter what party concenus is.

But then again, maybe he's gotten good at that.

Edited on Fri Jan-30-04 12:28 AM by Rowdyboy
any of our candidates by the media ...Yes, his supporters complain, but they have good reason. I think Clark supporters share and understand their feelings; at least I know I do. I, too, feel like I've been screwed and didn't even get kissed...

16. True.
On a purely absolute numerical, objective, social scientific basis, the Deaniacs probably win, but there's a lot more of them and they have a genuine grievance.

But in terms of whine per candidate's chances ratio or whine per candidate's well-grounded complaints ratio, Clark is way ahead.

23. Oh, man, it's totally the Dean supporters
I love Dean, and think he would be a brilliant president, and would happily and readily vote for him, support him, and give him money, but holy f-word people, lighten up, would you?

Bunch of whiney minging cod pullers.

They're either whining about dean being treated unfairly, or whining that Kerry might have done something bad with an office supply voucher when he was working during college or something insignificant like that.

25. Oh my GAWD, it's the Dean people
I've had the Dean people tell me what my feelings and motivations are, and what I "REALLY" am thinking about things, just because I don't agree with something they've said.

Dean supporter says, "I like pepperoni pizza."

SGW says, "I like mushrooms better."

Dean supporter says, "MY GOD!!! The LENGTHS you Dean-Haters will go to!!! Now you're saying that my candidate is a vicious murderer because I, as a Dean supporter, eat meat on my pizza??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Don't you understand that Dean is the only REASONABLE candidate, the only SENSIBLE one who makes INTELLIGENT ARGUMENTS?? JESUS, take your Dean-hating elsewhere, will you??!?!?!?!?!"

SGW, who is only exaggerating slightly.

28. LOL!
Don't forget these gems:

"You're just a Rove plant parroting GOP talking point memes!"

"You are just a sheeple who believes all the media lies!"

"DON'T BASH MY CANDIDATE!"

(Then 2 minutes later, they bash someone else's in a new thread.)

"Independent swing voters will help Dean beat Kerry!"

And so on... you are not exaggerating at all.

42. A Dean "supporter"
was claiming that no seniors would vote for Clark. When I simply noted that my 91 year-old lifetime Republican mother was ready to vote Clark, the Deaniac immediately replied - in a post:

"She's probably senile and might die before the election."

36. I really wish I could say WHO I'm a supporter of.
I have issues with every one of the candidates, but each has my respect as well. (OK, except for Lieberman, sue me) I just don't like bashing them or their supporters either. Like most of you, I'm voting for Slappy White.

What?
