1. I resent the implication that I gave them a first chance.
I knew he was a deficient little creep from the moment I first heard him speak. Sucks being right.

6. Cardinal crimes are being committed against Americans
en masse continually as the media is literally damaging the brains of many who watch their filth. This propaganda effectively disables
the victim's ability to make objective, logical decisions about the things the see and hear. Instead, they are programmed to respond exactly as the controllers wish. Never question our authority,
don't believe or do anything unless instructed to do so by us.

I am talking about millions of people being turned into "zombies",
waiting for their next instruction. I am talking about real crime, real damage to the brain. I'm talking about murdering people's brains,
while allowing the body's to stay alive for slave work. And I'm not exaggerating. If anything, I'm understating the magnitude of the crimes.

10. I know. But, I trying to define the issue down to the most
precise level I can think of, rather than beat around the bush.
Sorry if I wasted a second or two of your time.

17. The main point I'd like to get across is that those in power
are using the media to insert real psychiatric poison into the brain in ways that are most definitely criminal. They call it entertainment and news. If people could be made aware that they are being converted into philosophical zombies, perhaps that could take evasive actions to preserve their ability to think.

13. I think the Right should listen to DU
We have been essentially correct on the predicted outcome about BushCo's activities, especially the big ones:

1) Iraq invasion would be a disaster

2) Innocent Iraqis would die en mass (100,000+)

3) No WMDs!!!!!!!!!!!

4) The world would not support this

5) BartCop predicted War and Recession as soon as W hit the WH!

And doing the same thing again, in the case of BushCo, and expecting a different outcome is a sign of insanity!

19. It sucks for those of us who were wrong too
I actually believed he'd run as a moderate, focus on domestic policies, not meddle with other countries, and be a uniter. There had been a lot of press about how he did a good job working with TX Dems, and I thought that would carry over. I really was hopefull after the post 9/11 national unity, and am very disappointed to see the military escalation that has happened since then. I voted for him in 2000, but not in 2004.

24. Texas Dems are a special breed of Cowboy Dixiecrat leftovers.
Or so I am told by my friends in Texas.

8. I resent the implication that they're only on their second chance
They used that up with the "White House trashing" non-story. I can't even imagine what "chance" they're on now. High double digits? Triple digits? And the media whores keep falling for it, like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football.

14. A few points to be made
1. The growth of the Clinton era was the result of policies put in place by Reagan and Bush I.
2. bush II's policies will require millions of Americans to focus their efforts on becoming better people and taking responsibility for their lives - this will take time.
3. We are just beginning the war on terror. It took years for America to get up the courage to pre-emptively strike out at these savages. It will take many more years and lives to live peaceably in this world.
4. His tax cuts have only had 4 years to work. We'll see real progress after they become permanent.

Now if you've gone this far without throwing your monitor out the window or cursing me - I'd like to call bullshit to bush's policies.

If you have to look around or ask others if you think these policies are helping us "turn the corner", you are a complete fucking moran.

Why do these idiots even post these questions? They should be fined for taking up bandwidth on the internet.

22. Yes, sort of, maybe, well...
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as us squishy hearts tend to do, that he can extricate his head from his ass and reverse his mistakes. Granted, I won't be betting on this, but anything is possible.
