Your cock-suredness about the public's reactions to Bush's policies is the result of your narrow, and self-centered view of the real world.
Not really. Just haven't talked to anyone except the cheerleaders on this board that agree with you.
Most are like me. Bill Gates father really doesn't need regular folks paying for his drug coverage. But, he qualifies. The few seniors I know don't support it.
Not scientific, but they do vote. And they aren't Dems.

Hey, I'm in better company not fearing the Patriot Act than you are in condemning it based on your ignorance of its provisions. In the 98-1 vote for the Patriot Act in the Senate, you are in a select group with that uber-conservative (/sarcasm off) Russ Feingold, although that other uber-conservative (/sarcasm off) Bernie Sanders has been making noises against it similar to yours. Of the Democrat Presidential candidates, only Kooky Kucinich shares your views strongly enough to vote against the Patriot Act. Oh, and Al Gore is against it too, which means it MUST be conservative, right? (Please see:
http://www.moveon.org/gore/speech.html, if you have the stomach for it). Some "conservative" you are, LOL!

I ignore points ?? I repeat phrases that mischaracterize positions. ???
Yes and yes. You'll do it again before the end of the post. I have been attacked .. I have been called names .. I have been slandered and I have been insulted in more ways then I care to count from some ... and yet I have always tried my best to put that all aside and discuss the issues at hand No matter how hard I tried .. it didn't work
I've given you the benefit of the doubt on many occasions, and have defended you on others. And here comes the strawman: I give up .. you want Kerry FINE!! GO KERRY GO!!!
That is not my position, and you know it.

I WILL do my best in Ohio.
The damage that could be done to this country by a Kerry administration is frightening.
We cannot let this happen! The left has NO prinicples, NO values, NO morals. They must be defeated for the survival of this great nation!

That (post 539) was a repost on the post you excised and called an endorsement?
Geez...
How fundamentally dishonest are you willing to be to score a cheap point...?
That's really sad.

You didn't get the point of my post, which is, I don't care what you think. You and your ilk have proven you are incapable of seeing the big picture, so I've decided not to pay attention to your whining. Don't vote for Bush. Who gives a rat's patootie what you do. I'm sick of people around here trying to reason with unreasonable people. Go off to "El Pee" and sulk.

To: OWK
Glad to see you still putting up the good fight. :)
I wish I had your self control. I can't argue with these bozos for very long before I get the urge to choke them. They rabidly defend their president as being a conservative savior, despite the fact that he is more Marxist than any president since FDR, and most surprisingly, more so than Clinton, if judge by accomplishment alone.
Since both major parties have gone commie on us, I will be voting 3rd party again, and secretly hoping for a gridlock between the white house and congress. A least when the two branches are at odds with each other, nothing gets accomplished, which is better than the alternative.
The Bush bots promised us thsat once they had a majority in both houses, we would see years of tyrannical government regulation evaporate in a storm of conservative house cleaning. I'm still waiting for someone to break out the Tidy Bowl.
The New American ranks congressmen on a conservative index. My republican congresswoman is a 0%er. Only Ron Paul is a 100%. More democrats (47) than republicans (28) meet or exceed 50%.
I wish these morons would show me where the record proves that I should give a republican my vote? Only an idiot could look at the numbers and think that Republican = Conservative = Constitutional restoration and smaller government.
Stay well,
Jim

Bill Gates father really doesn't need regular folks paying for his drug coverage.If you'd read the bill, you'd know there are means tests for the drug benefit. But, as is typical, you folks don't want to be confused by the facts. You're balled up in your Bush-hatred, and nothing is going to convince you otherwise.

You didn't get the point of my post, which is, I don't care what you think. Which is of course why you keep jumping up and down and waving your hands in front of my face telling me how little you care with these inane posts.
Gotcha...

To: Sabertooth; Howlin
Notice how Howlin missed the conclusion of my remarks to kuma:
GWB, #289: I'm not trying to steer you one way or the other. Given your two major criteria, you may need to give Bush the benefit of the doubt. Or look at ways to elect more conservative congressmen to help him govern better.
I virtually endorsed Bush to kuma, based on kuma's two main issues. But even that's not good enough for Howlin. Wow, what a vicious bushbasher I am!

If you'd read the bill, you'd know there are means tests for the drug benefit... Means testing?
Well hell son... why didn't you say so..?
Everyone knows that conservatives are supposed to support big fat leftist social programs as long as they have means testing..
Geez... what was I thinking?

I've given you the benefit of the doubt on many occasions, and have defended you on others. And I have done the same for you
As for my stating you want Kerry .. Yes you are correct you didn't say that
As for the strawman ... I don't care any more ... I REALLY don't care!! ... what's the point of caring if as you state is true .. those voters will sit out and throw the election
They will have screwed us over in more ways then Kerry

To: Joe Hadenuf
Never in recent memory has so many, been so fed up with the two party system. Who gives a flip what you think. Go off in a huff and vote third party. You're a pimple on the arse of the body politic. The only thing that gives you any sense of self-worth is that people around here get upset with your stridency. Well, I refuse to let you and your negativity ruin my day. You're opinion isn't worth squat, as far as I'm concerned. Do what you feel you must do in this election. I really couldn't care less, because in the end, you and your fellow-malcontents won't merit a footnote when the history of this election is written. I, for one, hope you and the rest of the coercive naysayers who haunt these fine discussion threads never darken the door of the Republican Party again. I'm asking you to storm off and vote for your flippin' third party! Please! Leave the rest of us alone so we can actually fight for the big issues facing this country.

Who gives a flip what you think. That whole "I don't care what you think" schtick, would be a lot more credible if you weren't jumping up and down with your hair on fire trying to get everyone to see how little you care what they think.
Just an obseravtion.

"What makes you think I directed this at you, personally? "
Well let's see, you put my name in the To: box and repeatedly used the word you. That would lead me, and the others, to believe it is directed towards me.
"You should feel glad that you're on somebody's list...."
I have been on someone's list since I was born, so I do not feel glad, priviliged or otherwise. It has become common, in fact I could care less if I am on a list (sh!t list or otherwise).
