I am so discouraged!
I have been a member on my hometown massage board for a couple years now and these people here are steadfast Bush supporters! I post links I think might get people to rethink their position but I see no progress! Anyway I thought I'd share one lady's response with fellow DUers. :hi:

snip/


"anotherbill, I am not offended. I simply do not have the time or the patience to listen to anymore rhetoric about "THE CONSPIRACY" or the "CABAL" or "IMPEACH BUSH" or "THE WAR WAS BASED ON LIES" the latter I can believe but, not that President Bush lied to the American people deliberately with malice aforethought. I believe that he sent our men and women over there based on the intelligence that he had, Now who fed him that intelligence? I do not know and neither do you. For what purpose? I do not know nor neither do you? All you seem to be able to do is go to these "kook corner" sites and it seems you believe all that they put out. You may be right, I don't know but, I choose to believe in the sanity of President George W. Bush. No sane person would send us into a war of this magnitude and without knowing (if not all) some of the cost of such a war. I think this man has been terribly maligned by those that spout these conspiracy theories and backed by George Soros and Michael Moore and this ilk!

I do not care for the way The Pres. ignores the border situation,
I do not care for his inability to communicate his actions to "WE" the people, But, then, I think "WE" the people think we have more of a right to know More than we should. I harken back to the day when there were slogans around like "Loose lips sink ships" (yes! I know that is rather telling) but I think our Media is totally out of control. IMHO these days the President does not appear to be running the country just as the Generals are not conducting the war, the media runs the opinions of the country and the Pentagon is sitting around a table in their 3 piece brooks brothers suits in Washington and conducting a war. Neither is good for "WE" the people.That is my opinion and it is just like yours " OHO! (our humble opinion) and changes nothing.
Now I respect your opinion, I do not agree with it and I do not know what you do about it other than "blog" the democrat/farleft
talking points. Myself I campaign during election years by talking one on one with people, discussing the pros and cons of the candidates and work the polls on election day.
And, to get an early start, I WISH JOE LIBERMAN WOULD GET IN THE RACE!!! "

5. Don't tell me that!
You've got so much experience hanging out in the dungeon to let a little thing like that discourage you.

:hi:

7. I'm sorry for responses like this. We the people. Who the
hell do we think we are anyway. She might be given you some clues. Some people's beautiful minds just don't want to be bothered, and they sure don't want you to think you are entitled to be bothered either.

8. For what purpose?


Maybe ... could it be ... for starters


Bush Brothers profitting from the war and inside information

(Of course, one would have to consider that prezbush maybe isn't a nice person.)
