And so you follow the side that has the most obvious & blatant
propaganda?

That you refuse to acknowledge "your sides" propaganda is even more
enlightening. You seem to think that you are getting the straight up
honest truth, while I am digesting a heavily spun bunch of propaganda.
Can you not see the arrogance and ignorance in that?

Is that like drinking the brand of diet soda that's most
heavily advertised?

If that were true, then I'd be a liberal.


BTW did you ever look up *any* of Bush's environmental policies? Care to
discuss them?

In which context?


How about his educational policies?

Which ones?

His policies with regard to the U.N. (now there's a set of flip-flops you can take to the
beach)?

The U.N is about as politically tainted as they come. They've
showcased their inability to effectively mediate an international
crisis. Their excessive foot dragging, gave Saddam the time he needed
to hide his WMD, and gave him the time to prepare for what was to
come. That France, Germany, and Russia had a financial interest in
Saddam's Iraq, and the oil for food program, pretty much answers the
question of why they were so adamantly against supporting our war
effort.


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

I maintain that YOU are also being hoodwinked. We may both be to some
degree.





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!

When mistakes are made, I will admit to them. Bush has made a few
mistakes (Supporting that prescription plan was one) as well. He's
hardly a perfect leader. But he does have the right principles and has
the guts to go it with a small contingency when other major powers do
not want to get involved (At least until their buildings get bombed).

It will be curious, if Kerry gets elected, just how many of you
anti-war types change your opinions when it's shown that the threat is
still very real and we need to continue our mission. I suspect that
opposition to the war and the fight on terrorism is only a front for
your real animosity, which is Bush.
