I guess Misterb can add "delusional" to your list of qualifications.

He beat you like a rented mule, Steve.


Pretty amazing for a guy who basically addressed nothing I said. How did

So, you don't mind if people suffer. Got it.


Nope, you missed it. Seems you don't want to understand another point of
view. In case I'm wrong about that: We each have to look around at our
own environment as a major part of how we evaluate how the world is
going. This evaluation is the only one not relying on second hand
information and the only one we are direct witness to, hence is the most
reliable. You directly asked me about how I thought things have been, so
I answered with this direct evidence. Do you think this evidence from my
life and yours doesn't matter?

It's about the suffering going on due to Bush's insolence and corruption.
I'm sick of his pandering to the right-wing religious nuts who want gov't
to stay out of their lives, but who want to turn this into a
religious/fascist/fundamentalist state of their own design, but not that
dissimilar to the Taliban.

Haven't seen a bit of this. Has the govt been getting more into your life
lately? This struggle has gone on at the fringes for as long as I can
remember. Nothing new.


In your mind, nothing is new. Got it.


In my life as an American citizen there has been no more interference
than ever. This also holds true for all my friends and anyone I know who
I've questioned, including you, apparently.

I'm sick of him starting and then perpetuating a war of choice (Iraq) vs.
one of necessity (Afganistan) and lying about it the whole time.

Everyone thought Iraq had WMDs, not just Bush. There was no lying.


BS. He lied, Cheney lied, and Powel went along with it. Everyone? Really?


Well, the vote in Congress was, what, 400 to 1 to go to war? Close enough.

I'm sick of him ignoring and being so out of touch with what's going on
in this country that he thinks everything is just fine with the economy,
the lack of affordable healthcare for those worse off than people like me
and you, and ignoring the people in desperate situations (e.g., New
Orleans).

Again, nothing new here. The economy goes up and down. We don't have
socialized medicine. What's new? I can't remember it ever being any
different, can you? Bush isn't to blame for any of it.


Again, you don't care. Got it. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth or yours I
suppose.


Didn't say a word about caring or not. I said I can't remember the
economy not going up and down. Can you? We've also never had more
socialized medicine ever. How do you blame Bush for that? Did you change
the subject because these points are obvious and you don't want to admit it?

Don't think I'm absolving the formerly Republican controlled Congress
either. They are at least complicit. The Republicans are holding fast
even though the Dems are not in charge, basically preventing anything
meaningful to get done, because it's an election year. And, don't think
I'm absolving the Dem leadership in Congress either. I'm not happy that
Pelosi refused to consider impeachment. It was just fine to put the
country through an impeachment trial because Clinton lied about a
blowjob, but it's not ok to put the country through an impeachment trial
because Bush/Cheney lied about an unnecessary war? Absolutely
unbelievable. Even one of our own Senators (Feinstein), a supposed
liberal, refuses to consider it.

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. You know that, right? And even
Bush's former press secretary who wrote the tell all book said he wasn't
lying about WMD's, just giving the information he had.


Bush lied repeatedly to the US public. He and his cronies have been lying
for the last seven years.


Any facts or evidence to support this?

The gov't in this country is spying on its citizens, detaining people
without trial (not just foreigners, but it's own citizens), and generally
trashing our civil rights.

Nah. There have been some changes due to the war on terrorists. It's a new
type of war requiring a new type of surveillance. No new president will
change that. If they do, *they* should be impeached.


Like I said, it's a slippery slope. I know you don't mind being on it. I do.
Overseas, even with the grudging funding of HIV programs in Africa by the
Bush Administration, there are so many strings attached that countries
are barred from using their own money to promote safer sex with condoms
if they want to receive money from the US.... all of this due to the
religio-fascists who have a strangle hold on that jerk in office.

I'm not very fond of the idea of giving money to governments for AIDs when
there is no accountability about where the money goes. Why do lefties
always think dumping more money into a problem is the best solution? I
wouldn't mind so much if it was their money they wanted to dump, but in
fact they always want it to be someone else's money, not theirs. That's a
big part of why it's wrong.


Sure. They should all die. Got it.


Again, you are ignoring what I'm actually saying. Maybe you can read it
again and see if you can answer instead of me spelling everything out
for you. Here's a hint: Why do you think it's good to force others to
pay more for AIDs research? How much have you paid? How much more are
you willing to pay? Have all diseases been cured when more money was
paid for finding cures?

As for Obama vs McCain, I'm relatively ambivalent. Obama doesn't seem
stupid enough to change course in Iraq, no matter what he says. When he
continues the war on terror, as he must, more people will understand that
Bush isn't to blame for Islamic extremists and even gentle liberal lefties
need to wipe them off the face of the earth before they do the same to us.


Bush and Condi were warned about 9/11. They went on vacation.


Again, you have failed to address my point. A clear sign that you have
no answer for what I'm saying. Maybe you were just in a hurry when you
wrote this? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and trying again.

I am confused.

When Americans state "In God we trust", which God are they referring
to? Obviously not the Christian God. Sounds more like Camaxtli, the
Aztec god of war.

Do you propose that the Christian extremists get the same treatment?


Of course. All extremists of any type who threaten and carry out
violence targeting innocents should be investigated and stopped by any
means necessary.

What about the gun-totting, survivalist, anti-government extremists of
places such as Montana?


Well, cultists and extremists should be and have been caught and stopped
from hurting people.

Do you propose to invade China, Russia, Venezuela, Pakistan (suggested
by some at present) and any other country that you consider poses a
threat to US interests? What about Cuba? Oh, I forgot. You tried that
once and lost.


We should remain somewhat lackadaisical about those who only threaten
and never seem to be willing or able to carry it out, like we did with
the Islamic extremists; but once they show the willingness or ability to
hurt people we should rain holy hell down on them, just like we did with
Al Qaida.

Your response is unreasoned, abusive and blustering, typical of
someone who cannot accept Vail criticism and who has no other means of
refuting the statements.


The only abuse I level at people is toward those who level it at me
first. There has been none toward you so far, has there? You should not
consider demolition of your arguments as "abuse."

What are you blathering about? The economy is in shambles, in a large
measure because of the cost of the war and Bushco's stated agenda to remove
Federal funding from just about every program including Social Security and
Medicare.

Sounds like a rant to me. I think I'll pass. You don't care about people
with aids and you think that we really shouldn't be spending money to help
them. You didn't address one of the points I made, then accuse me of doing
that. Sounds like a right-wingnut methodology to me!

As for Obama vs McCain, I'm relatively ambivalent. Obama doesn't seem

Yeah, we "rain holy hell down on them" like with did with bin laden... a guy
trailing 300lbs of dialysis equipment over hill and dale. But, we sure "got

I love this part:

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said the United States needs to move before
Saddam can develop a more advanced arsenal.
"Giving peace a chance only gives Saddam Hussein more time to prepare for
war on his terms, at a time of his choosing, in pursuit of ambitions that
will only grow as his power to achieve them grows," McCain said.

I guess his vast foreign policy experience didn't help him this time....

The really silly thing abut the whole mid-east affair is that they all

Don't overlook what happened in the next election following that vote. So
many
of the idiots who voted for the war were sent packing, it changed the
balance of
Congress, which had been tightly held by the Republicans for quite some
time.
Apparently a majority of THE PEOPLE who own the joint, disagreed with that
vote.




True, but unfortunately, the new people are much like the old people. Sounds
like a Who concert.
