Then if you didin't take the time to see the differences between the candidates, then you have no right to bitch and moan.

He wasn't bitching and moaning. He came and defended Carenot.

I don't know what is 'Clintonian' about anything that I have posted. I happen to know carenot fairly well from the RFR chat server, and can say with certainty that she is neither a fraud nor trying to be 'pseudo-coy' as you suggested.

Furthermore I take issue with your suggesting my conscience is not clear, or that I am doing anything 'Clintonian'. Can't people have a discussion here anymore without resorting to jabs and personal insults?

Got to tell you man, piss off the Base and you will LOSE the election as their support evaporates. The next election will be TIGHT. Partly because the Democrats feel they were cheated out of an election. They will muster every single member of their base...

Bush seems to enjoy alienating his supporters.

If I were a Vet I'd be pissed too. Their "care" by the Vet. hospitals is appalling. If you want to live you MUST get your own insurance and seek medical help elsewhere. It's equal opportunity at its WORST. Anyone who can't practice privately goes there to mistreat patients.

Instead of honoring his promise to Vets, who risked their lives for us, what does ole George do? Throw BILLIONS of dollars to Africa for their aids epidemic. To hell with Americans here who really deserve our respect and proper medical care. Ironically the people in Africa HATE us and don't appreciate the BILLIONS we throw at them for their epidemic. Bush is a disgrace on this issue and some others ... .

Yeah right, you have been on FR complaining about Bush since day 1 of your registering, IMO.

Prove it! Back that up or back down.

Who did you vote for, or are you afraid to admit who you voted for.

I voted for Harry Browne.
I had 4 choices.
Bush, Gore, Nader or Browne.
No place for a write in. :(

FYI I also know retired Vets and they are PISSED as HEll at George for breaking his promises to them. Their medical care sucks at V.A. Hospitals and MOST must pay for their own insurance because of this and money is not easily found by them for this. We really have screwed the Vet.

You are NOT free to come here after you have been banned with a new id and pretend to be a new poster who "supported Bush but now sees the light."

'Er ya nuts?

And a good response question would have been why. That would have initiated a debate on Bush's policies, good or bad, agree or not

So I guess anybody criticising a person who won't even tell who they voted for in President in 2000 for the sake of political debate is a pariah to you.

Sorry, but it the person who won't admit who they voted for President is the one who is the coward, IMHO, and would find mutual succor with the liberal media reporters who wince when the same question is asked of them.

Yes, it is. It is none of your's or anyone else's business and demonstrates your desire to use it against her rather than a true desire to have an honest debate

Like I stated above you are parrotting the liberal media line when they are asked that question of who they vote for.

No, we have loyally come to defend our friend. That is not Dems behavior. Your's on the other hand, requiring everyone to toe the Bush loyalty line, does strike me as Dem behavior

Oh yes it is dem behavior, IMO, most Liberals in the media get indignant when asked who they voted for.

and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld earlier this month told lawmakers that the president would veto any bill including the change.

This Rummy guy is a major part of the problem.
I haven't paid a dime to Tricare and don't plan to either.
I'll just die young.

Rumsfeld is a flunky.

Rumsfeld only does or says things that he has permission to do or say.

President Bush is the one who said he would veto veteran benefits if Congress passed them, just as Bush is the one who said he would sign a bill to extend the "assault weapon" ban.

There are 1000 veterans of WWII alone dying everyday. There number is dwindling. So where would the remaining ones find a leader they could support? Hillary? Dean?

Most of the vets I have spoken with (and my system seems to be as scientific as this author's) think of 9-11 as a siren call, just like December 7, 1941. There is more to agree with Bush than disagree with him. Furthermore, restructuring of social security and medicare is going to be the focus of Bush 43-II.

[Dane]

I voted for Harry Browne

Finally an answer.

Ok the political debate goes on now.

You voted for the person, Harry Browne, who on national TV basically said that 9/11 was America's fault and during his campaign in 2000 longed for the days in the early 1900's when an 10 year old could go into any pharmacy and buy a bottle of heroin.

Now wonder you were reluctant to admit who you voted for.

[carenot]

You're motives are kinda transparent, too, fella.......

You are so cute when you get all red in the face when you are mad!

Hey, y'all, look how cute little ohio is!

[VRWC_minion]

Keep your promises or lose my vote

Which promise did you base your vote on that Bush broke ?

[carenot]

JMO, carenot was a Gorebot and is now worshipping at the footsteps of Terry MaCauliffe at the present moment.

Why do y'all just attack people?
I am always nice.

[Notforprophet]

That is about the dumbest post I have seen today. Why start taunting people?

My conscience is clear, what about yours. I voted for Bush and proud that he is my President, rather than the other realistic contender in 2000, Gore.

Her right to privacy should not be something that opens her up to your unfounded assumptions.

[carenot]

He's also a bit confused.........which supports the gorebot theory......

I wish you well.
