War Turns Southern Women Away From GOP

"it is sad that you seem bitter about an awful lot of things."

Mostly, I'm bitter because it's hard to differentiate today's "Republicans" from Dummicrats. When the choices are tweedle-dum and tweedle-dumber, why bother to make a choice.

[Señor Zorro]

Most likely, this is propaganda. what do you all think?

When all is said and done, it's irrelevant. Bush can never run for president again and most likely will never run for anything else.

I suppose I will be classified as a non-thinking bushbot by you, but I think the Iraq war was the right move to show those in the Arab world who might wish to do harm to the United States, just what will happen to anyone that supports such an attack. With great ease we kicked the a** of the world's most powerful Arab army, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the other Arab countries of the world.

The gain of all this however I fear has been squandered by those in this country who have attacked our Iraq plan for whatever reasons, political or otherwise. We now come across to our Arab enemies as being just as weak as when Slick Willie Klintoon cut and ran in Mogadishu. Or when Slick Willie further compounded the Arab world's impression of the United States as wussies by having Christian boys and girls fight and die to protect Moslems in Bosnia. A true sign of weakness in the Arab world.

Given the above mentioned moves by Slick Willie, among many other examples, I find myself amazed that you would call President Bush the worst President in history.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

My apologies. Upon a closer re-read of your original statement, I see you used the phrasing, "among the worst in history".

"I suppose I will be classified as a non-thinking bushbot by you, but I think the Iraq war was the right move to show those in the Arab world who might wish to do harm to the United States, just what will happen to anyone that supports such an attack.

We all know that Saddam Hussein was a monster who richly deserved to be overthrown. What ticks me off is young Bush's Woodrow Wilson-like insistence on "making the world safe for democracy" and spending countless billions of OUR taxpayer dollars to rebuild a country we had just kicked the crap out of. Those freakin' Muslims wouldn't recognize democracy if it came up and bit 'em in the butt and with their oil riches, they can afford to rebuild themselves.

I don't know how or why it became the fashion in Washington to convert the rest of the world to the American model but IMO, there is more than a grain of truth in those charges of "American imperialism". Screw the rest of the world, I say. We have far more than enough on our plate to take care of without worrying about Joe Sixpack (or whatever they're called) in Muslimstan.

My descendants and yours, and THEIR descendants, will be paying for the bills run up by America's politicians for probably centuries to come and that pisses me off.

and spending countless billions of OUR taxpayer dollars to rebuild a country we had just kicked the crap out of.

So you think we should have just pulled out of Germany on May 9th, 1945?

[Steve_Stifler]

Googling "barbara knight macon" brings up hits for an active librarian and board member of the League of Women Voters in Georgia. I'd say those are two suspect classes when someone "self-identifies" as a Republican for a news article.

[girlangler]

I'm in the South, am a woman and have women friends all across the South, and I don't know anybody that feels this way.

Bet they looked REALLY hard to get a cross section of opinions here.

[goldstategop]

More AP DNC fishwrap.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

[Sooner1938]

"So you think we should have just pulled out of Germany on May 9th, 1945?"

Yep - Japan too on Aug 15, 1945. And why do we still have troops in Korea more than 50 years after that little dustup ended?

You see, gatorman, as a career soldier, my philosophy is "to the victor goes the spoils". Losers cry and winners laugh is another adage I like.

[dfwgator]

I guarantee if we left Germany on May 9, we would have been back to fight the Russkies.

Just as if we leave Iraq in shambles, inevitably we would have to return.

[neocon1984]

Choices are difficult. They call for information, judgment and discrimination. I think you are missing a lot of information if you cannot discriminate between Republican administrations/Congress and Democrat administrations/Congress.

Note that my screen name reflects when I started to see things more clearly. Prior to that, I voted for George McGovern and Jimmy Carter. Now I wonder how much better the world would be had Gerald Ford (a semi-RINO) been re-elected over Carter.

[Sooner1938]

"I guarantee if we left Germany on May 9, we would have been back to fight the Russkies.

Just as if we leave Iraq in shambles, inevitably we would have to return."

You know the biggest problem we have with politicians in this country?

We have the means to totally defeat any potential enemy in this world, to the point we never have to worry about them again. What has always been lacking is the political will among the governing classes.

Where's George Patton or William T. Sherman when we need 'em most?

[Allegra]

Most likely, this is propaganda. what do you all think?

I agree.

None of my southern women friends (myself included) who were in favor of the war in '03 have budged off of their original convictions, despite the media's fervent attempts to paint it as a failure.

[Sooner1938]

"I wonder how much better the world would be had Gerald Ford (a semi-RINO) been re-elected over Carter."

Not much, IMO. I think we need more Ronald Reagans, George Washingtons, Thomas Jeffersons and Andrew Jacksons.

[lowbridge]

You freakin' people are hopeless and deserve the screwing you're getting. Do any Bushbots do their own thinking or does Karl do all of it for you?

Karl calls the shots around here. I'm surprised that you didn't know this. Though I'm proud to say that I do have my own personal set of keys to the Rove Weather Machine.

I'm beginning to understand why I decided to become a Libertarian.

A Libertarian? Suuure you are.

[lowbridge]

I did some further research and discovered that back in 1996, she donated 200 dollars to John Isakson...a Republican.

The mainstream media must've gotten to her.

[lowbridge]

Teresa Cranford, 39, also of Macon, said her support for Bush was lukewarm in 2004, but she ultimately voted for him so he could finish the job in Iraq. As the death toll has risen, so has her discomfort.

-snip

"I'm not a straight party-line Republican anymore," Cranford said.

Really? What has this "straight party-line Republican" been doing with this pro-Democrat group?

Debates

Please join me to watch the first of the debates between John Kerry, a brilliant prosecutor that exudes intellectual curiosity, and George W. Bush, a man who can't read a teleprompter properly and admits he doesn't even read newspapers. This should be good.

Er, we did, Mrs. Knight.

I think we are still working in Afghanistan.

[lowbridge]

I think we are still working in Afghanistan.

I'm well aware of that. Still working, but we did go into Afghanistan first, knocked down the Taliban and did to Afghansitan in two weeks what the soviets couldnt do in 10 years.
