I took Stringfellow's comment to mean that CLINTON was an idiot (He was president at the time), not an attack on Bush. Perhaps a false alarm?

But look at his last sentence... "A nation can be measured by the leaders we have in charge. Right now I'd say we're a nation of 'compassionate conservative weenies'. " He's talking about Bush and his administration, not Clinton.

You guys have come in rather late to the conversation. I'm not going to explain it again, so if you want to understand, go to the beginning.

It's one thing to diagree vehemently with the President, and quite another to start calling names. Perhaps something a little less inflammatory such as: "We're not going to win unless our leadership starts sealing the borders and taking a hard line."

There, we've said the same thing and haven't insulted anyone.

Granted. I'll sit back and watch from here on out. hehe

OK. I see. You object to the political games that he's forced to play. It's understandably frustrating, but it's part of the process.

The democrats have never made a sweeping victory to institute their socialist beliefs. They made a series of small victories that were speckled with defeats and compromises. Personally, I think we have to be willing to face the same. We'll never undo the damage all at once.

Oh hey!
John "Bugout" Kerry would have made a GREAT leader, right?
Mr. "Let's have a Global Test for U.S. policy!"
Mr. "Let's surrender now!"
Mr. "Oh, 9/11 and terrorism is ONLY A NUISANCE."

John Kerry who never held a real job in his whole life, has never done his own yard work, who snowboards, windsurfs, or rides his 23 thousand dollar custom Serotta bicycle when he should be in Congress.
John Kerry is a LOSER SLACKER who committed treason and admitted to it, committed war crimes and admitted to them, and who'd run things the way Chirac and Shroeder would like the U.S. to be run, not as WE THE PEOPLE would deem fit!

Tell me what worthwhile things Kerry has done AT ALL.

I'm sure nobody here uses insulting words ever. Everyone is as pure as the driven snow.

When you're angry about something, you tend to use language that fits your mood.

If we want to be in Mr. Roger's neighborhood, I'm sure moderators could fulfill our wishes.

"
Think U.S.S. Cole, where they had our brave men and women manning guns with no bullets in them and terrorist monkeys coming along side the ship with tons of explosives in a boat.

We'll never win the war on terror with an idiot for a leader.

A nation can be measured by the leaders we have in charge. Right now I'd say we're a nation of 'compassionate conservative weenies'."

U.S.S. Cole happened during Clinton's stench in orifice.

NOT during Dubya's.
OOPS, you forgot that, didn't you?

And we disagree where?

haha, you really need to start from the beginning rather then jump right into the middle of a conversation.

I did read your entire conversation... (or maybe you think I'm an idiot too???!!!)
You may not like everything Bush does... I personally don't agree with his immigration plan, but that's besides the point.. however, you bring absolutely nothing to the discussion by calling Bush an idiot and calling his administration weenies. Name-calling is what liberals resort to when they run out of logical, reasonable arguments. You don't have to do it here.

Its time for Bush to make an announcement! He should have stayed with his 15 Million! Charities must stop giving now! We must be armed there. These savages don't deserve one dime! Let the Muslums take care of their own. Take back the money and get the hell out of there. The whole world has come to their rescue and they give us the "finger". The Bible tells us to turn our backs on evil!

Hey string, the Cole was attacked when clinton was president. It was clinton that put happy feelings of the Yemenis ahead of our sailors' security. Right now we have a strong leader in charge who will stand up for his troops, and will allow them to defend themselves without interference.

You really need to read from the start, you are embarassing yourself.

" I'd rather question then follow blindly, which seems
opposite of what some of these posters would rather do."

I just don't see where calling President Bush an "idiot" helps
the cause.

You need to correct what you said.

Come on! It's human nature to do things like that. I'm sure you're the only one in the whole world, in all the existence of human kind that has never insulted anyone! Right?

Get over it, I insulted Bush because I disagree with him on several things. It's probably not the best way to go about discussing an issue, but hey, as it turns out, I'm only human and prone to make mistakes like anyone else.

As for everyone else jumping in late, read everything up to this point before you reply, it's funny to see you talking about stuff I've already explain a hundred posts ago.

I think you are right. I think India had many more deaths than they report, 15 thousand last I saw. But when you consider they have about 3-4 times the length of coastline effected than Sri Lanka (which lost 48 thousand), and they being the second most populous country in the world, I'll bet they lost at least 100k.

Since everyone else is piling on, I thought I would also.

You said in one post that you follow the Constitution, not someone who calls himself a Republican. Is it fair to say that you were characterizing our President as a RINO?

Two posts down, you predicted conservatives would leave the GOP.

Now, I know none of us are anywhere near as smart as you are, but if you are one of those "conservatives" that is ready to bolt the GOP, you really can't call anyone a RINO, can you?

Now I have three reasons to be very glad I voted for and support our President: He's a great President, Kerry would have been a disaster, and extremist malcontents like yourself might do all of us a favor and go join some turd party. Frankly, it would be addition by subtraction IMHO.
