As for Grunherz, although I like him and I think he's a decent guy I believe he has just fallen lockstep, rank and file, into the orthodox whatever view that Bush is some sort of wonderful leader as great as Lincoln or Washington... That's pathetic.

Did I call you a murderer?  I dont think so.  Only the dutch UN who oversaw the srebrenica "selection"...

I really thought we went over this several times...

BTW i resent thgis stalking accusation, I only responded because it was another idiotic bush = hitler comparsion.  If anything one could argue you are the one more concerned with what I have to say -you claim to put me on yiur ignore list - yet somehow get the idea that I'm stalking you or that I particularly respond to your posts.

As I said before I really though we settled this UN thing a few months ago and agreed it wasnt worth bashing heads and getting upset with each other personally over my anger about the srebrenica massacre and dutch un force inaction. Did I misunderstand our informal agreement?

Bush isn't Hitler...more closer to Stalin, but not Hitler.

Bush is more like Jerry Mathers in "The Beaver" but a much more powerful Beaver.

Bush handled 9/11 better than I could have ever hoped, and made my vote in my mind correct. Gore in the situation would have been like a bad guest host on Saturday Night Live reading the cue cards, and painfully obvious. No conviction, no cause.

Bush came through in spades.

Groinhurts, saying "Al Gore has a point, I'm absolutely pissed off that I have lost my implicit right to carry a box cutter knife aboard a plane... is why I don't feel loyal to a particular party anymore. Each has it's diehards that will justify the ridiculous for the sake of politics.

I don't mind taking off my shoes in the airport or having to be scanned, but to think Homeland Security is doing any actual good beyond the obvious like airport scans is outragous.

It's purpose was a good idea, but the way it's implemented is just an excuse to rob 99.9% of Americans of their rights. I thought the NRA was crazy, now I understand why they fight any regulation. The government will take it all away, and I'm right. Just look at what's happening. Need examples? I'll crush you.

Gore just called them on one thing they are completely wrong on. Doesn't make him President worthy, just right in that case.

Get over it.

Yes I'm a die hard Republican - thats why I would have voted for Clinton in 2000... (if I chose to vote and he could run for a third term, I dont vote and I wont vote till watermelon changes - see below)

So no you are wrong in this case, I'm no hard partisan. I'm not even partisan really, I just agree on some issues with the right and others with the left and express that - jarringly at times. However at this time the left pisses me off more, just as the right pissed me off when they were actually trying to impeach a president a few years ago, wtf...

But yea I will agree with you 100% it is the ridiculous nature of partisanship I have noticed I this country as I grew up here that turned me off of politics and made voting seem pointless because it seemed they just attacked each other because of different party system.

As for my comment about box cutters, it's sarcasm - but I do feel honestly that we must make some sacrifices compared to how we were before beacuse the world has changed. So far I personally have not seen the evils of this, CNN even in their constant negativity hasnt shown it to me either and even the nuttiest left wing blowhards on this BBS havent come up with the good either unless it's  articles from extremly biased and unreasobale sources like the worl socialist website or something of that sort.

I like Bush because of his handling of 911, I like Bush for taking the big picture approach in Iraq and actually risking something for a long term gain and long term view for the mid-east. I hope it works out well. I like that he cut taxes because I'm a business major and I belive and have studied how lower taxes lead to greater growth and prosparity - it worked for Kennedy (who made a massive massive tax cut), it worked for Reagan and it seems to be working for Bush as recent numbers are very positive.

The Democratic candidates all seem weak and disorganized and basically have no ideas except vague procamtions of impending doom. Just think of it this way - Al Gore said we are less safe than before 911. This means that all the hard work, sacrifice and vigilance by millions of Americans in governemt and service and civil life has been worth nothing, in fact he states it has had a negative impact. He is spitting in all their faces and putting down their work, and why is he doing it? Because its an election year and they (and both parties do this)  need issues.  

Sorry Creamo, I'm not that simple to paint into a corner as some handy stereotype..

He would make a movie full of smart bellybutton critiques of all world events that bother him, do nothing about them,  and then just retreat to his multi million dollar mansion and rich lifestyle and make a fool of himself and everyone else at the oscars...

I thought his oscar speech, reproduced below, was rather good (although I don't know what an 'orange alert' is or where the duct tape comes in).

Ravs


On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to - they're here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fiction of duct tape or fiction of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much.

The speech was stupid.

But for entertainments sake why do you think Moore would make a good president, what policies would he enact that would be beneficial in yor eyes?
