It's hard to believe you studied much of anything, Dave. Where did you
matriculate...at Bob Jones U?

Hey Dave... if the news media is so liberally biased, why did so many
other newspapers put it in the headlines? Why did it makes such a big
splash in TV news?

Oh, I get it... they're being incredibly devious by reporting the news,
including stuff that goes totally against their supposed agenda...

Dave, do you really believe this tripe yourself, or are you just hoping
that some of your fellow dittoheads are dumb & paranoid enough swallow it?

His minister told him. We shouldn't insult the guy until we've had a chance
to roll him around the newsgroup a bit. I wonder if Dave can get him to stop
by.

I don't have a "minister" or any other icon religious figure.

Sound familiar? Or do you always apply a double standard?

Based on THAT logic, the Iraqis we killed should be brought back to life,
since they died for nothing.


Which Iraqi's? The ones who were loyal to Saddam, or the ones involved
in the current insurgence?

Not at all. There are dozens of examples of Bush's lies, in which he
said one thing and then did another, or deliberately obfuscated his
actual position. The man lies about everything.


Such as?

Dave


Everything:

The entire or unabated amount or quantity of; the whole extent,
substance, or compass of; the whole.

The Gods must be crazy.

Great movie.



Indeed; a classic. Betcha Dave hasn't seen it.

No. The innocent ones who got in the way.

And so you follow the side that has the most obvious & blatant
propaganda? Is that like drinking the brand of diet soda that's most
heavily advertised?

BTW did you ever look up *any* of Bush's environmental policies? Care to
discuss them? How about his educational policies? His policies with
regard to the U.N. (now there's a set of flip-flops you can take to the
beach)?

And you insist that you're not being hoodwinked...



Dave, do you really believe this tripe yourself, or are you just hoping
that some of your fellow dittoheads are dumb & paranoid enough swallow it?



Or that maybe that you're to blind and partisan to consider it?


I prefer living in the real world, Dave. All sorts of fun things happen
out here. Of course, in the real world sometimes one has to admit one
might be wrong once in a while... but with you're in good company with
President Bush here. Neither of you acknowledge ever making any kind of
mistake. And of course neither of you ever ever lie!
