Go Bush!!!!!!!!!!

"Republicans want a government so small that it fits in your bedroom."

When did "liberal" become a 4-letter word? I take it as a compliment.

I care about civil rights for everyone, and I care about the world in which I live. I'm willing to shell out a little more money to protect those rights and to protect the planet. There's nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with that, and I won't accept insinuations that it's something bad. Yes, maybe I'm optimistic, and a bit on the idealistic side, but really, the world could use some more idealists...

HOOTIE AND LYRELYRE-EXACTLY! Plus, his main focus was on Hollywood (don't forget he was considering working with the "Dream...Corp" the one wth Speilberg etc) His own people have said the head of security couldn't get a meeting with him.
Rather than discuss issues pertaining to peace and security threats, he directed them to work on patent infringement and copyright laws. He was/IS a mess. His weakness as a leader is so apparent his old staffers have distanced themselves. Even Giraldo Rivera has washed his hands of Clinton. OH WELL...
I still have strong sentiments for children of deadbeat PARENTS and believe we need to help those who are infirm. BUT, I get so angry when people line up and stick out their hand for money without EARNING it when they are physically and mentally able to do so. One more note-As a small business, we are TAXED to death! Our assistant that we "let go", is working on the weekends, and files unemployment on us...Of course I don't blame Clinton for all the current economic woes, but in general, democratic policies have created a system of abuse. They want to create more and more governmental jobs to increase the number of employees nation wide who will vote Deomocrat. I'm not going to post again on this topic because nothing ANYONE says will change one person's opinion on this board. You have to live it before you can see it!

I have a heart; many say an exceedingly large and generous one. Whether a person's priority is the duckbilled platypus or the unborn child is not what is important to me. What is important is that people research and learn so that they can make INFORMED decisions about the issues. It's the people that just want to jump on whatever bandwagon is nearby that really make me want to lose my lunch. (Ex: How many of the college age kids riding around with "Free Tibet" on their bumperstickers really have a clue about what's going on over there? How about the World Bank protestors; how informed were most of them? Some people just like to be troublemakers.)

And I certainly hope that if you feel he cheated his way into office, that you also don't respect our former president who cheated on his wife...and furthermore...if he had done a lick about problems in the middle east...we may not have this problem we're all facing right now!
Sorry but I had to say it!

Give me a break. If the guy had won fair, I still wouldn't be happy but he would have won the RIGHT way and I could get over it.

As far as Clinton's escapades, I really could care less. I didn't vote for him to worry about his personal life (yes it is public but like I said, I don't care) What he does for the country is my concern.

and for the record, "what if's" don't count...Bush is the one in office. Let's deal with that.

When I was in college, I was THE biggest Democrat that ever existed. I got FIRED from a job because they felt my flower child image didn't fit the mold. Actually, I was a semi-hippi working at a raquet club and REFUSED to go out with the owner. HOWEVER, since becoming a "respectable" member of the community, (this means I pay TAXES and a LOT of them) I have learned my money goes to all sorts of things I am adamantly against. At this point in my life I AM A REPUBLICAN! If we need to drill for oil to break the hold of foreign interests, if we have to KILL peope to insure the safety of our sons and daughters, if we have to ANNIHILATE the green crosseyed toad to build a communications lab, hey, I vote YES! Just WAIT till you open your paycheck and you see your hard earned money going to social programs with NON EXISTENT PEOPLE on the roles collecting money.

BUSH IS GREAT! HOPEFULLY, WE WILL PULL OURSELVES OUT OF THE PIT CLINTON AND HIS CRONIES HAVE FLUNG US INTO!

It's easy to be a democrat when you aren't supporting a family and paying taxes! I have a ZILLION stories that anyone under 27 would be unable to relate to (unless they were raised with an exposure to a Republcan view of economics)
Now here's a little political humor-
What's the difference between democrats and
republicans? Democrats are fun loving "cest' la vie" type people who party and make love. They sleep in a doublebeds. Republicans are all uptight because they work so hard and come home exhausted...they sleep in seperate beds.

THAT'S why there are more Democrats!

JAM hitting the nail dead-on as always! I was personally never a Democrat but my dear, sweet (trust fund baby) college boyfriend was proud to call himself a "bleeding heart liberal". He hated G.H.W. Bush; thought him an Ivy League snob from a rich family (pot calling the kettle....) When he got accepted to law school he told everyone who would listen how he was going to graduate and become an attorney for the ACLU because of "the passion with which they protect our rights." I guess once he put in all that time in law school he figured that the ACLU had enough passion without him since last I heard he is making a very high six figures as an entertainment attorney in L.A.

Who's fault is it that you, your parents, your sorority sisters and all of your friends drive cars? No its not your fault, its GWBush's fault that oil is being drilled. You are a hypocrite.

Actually, that oil wasn't drilled (at least, not the fields I'm discussing) until the Reagan/Bush era. I know that in my area, Bush signed SPECIFIC bills allowing offshore drilling in the Gulf. Also, I don't drive, so don't you dare call me a hypocrite. Get your facts straight before you start calling people names.

Ever been in a bus, car, or a plane. If so then you are still using oil. Do you grow your won food? How do you think the food get from the farms to you dinner table?

Unless you are living in a cave, growing your own food and making your won clothes, you consume oil. You are definitely a hypocrite. Everyone in this country uses oil. You probably couldn't even go one day without it.

Hey Skip, am I missing something? Since when is an ad hominem attack a compelling argument?
