I would like to post what I just posted on a similar thread
(The moonbats are out tonight)
Ill say it again whether these people are on the right or on the left doesnt matter ,they are seriously disturbed.
One question I have for them is about Dick Cheney ...do they consider him a leftist RINO? an idiot ? was he asleep at the switch for 8 years allowing GW to destroy the GOP and the nation ?
Again ...the sickness around here is simply amazing.
I have wasted enough time on you. Now you can have the last word.
Forgive me for asking, but isn’t president Bush still the president? And wasn’t he president when he negotiated with congress the massive socialist transfer of wealth to the Federal Reserve and Wall street he falsely names a ‘bailout’?
I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re left or right when it comes to this administration. The outcome is the antithesis of America’s founding principles no matter what.
Yes the conspiracy theory nuts have been out in force for a while on this forum. Their idol is Pat Buchanan and people like him. We waste time debating them because they are irrational people.
LOL! Now you’ve pulled your last punch, you’ve brought out the typical trash talk because you cannot refute the last eight years of economic degradation brought on by Mr. Bush and his political appointees in the executive branch. You’re a propagandist and nothing more.
LOL, you’re the only person who has mentioned Pat Buchanan, you clearly care for the man.
You don’t waste you’re time, you’re most likely are paid to blog propaganda.
