My opinions here don't come from the right as yours do but I have no problem giving credit to republicans when due and dishing it out to democrats when they deserve it. Quote.... nothing like calling members here on the board homosexual for supporting something you dont... That's not vitriolic at all, right? Let me jog your memory.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry to interrupt a new suck-off fest here.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sound familiar? If you feel that figurative language amounts to calling you gay for your opinions and that it brings down the level of dialogue here, then maybe I'm being insensitive to those more sensitive like yourself. My apologies for the offense, and I'll watch my language. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

mnealtx 0 #28 September 9, 2005 No need to apologize or watch your language - by all means, say what you really think. It just shows your hypocricy as regards anyone with views that differ from yours. *You're* an enlightened self-thinker because you don't support Bush. I support Bush, so I'm evidently part of a homosexual daisy chain.

wmw999 2,446 #29 September 9, 2005 There are probably people with impeccable conservative credentials who don't think Bush is a very good president. Just disagreeing with you, or even thinking the current president is a terrible one, does not make one a registered democrat, a liberal, or anything else but someone who doesn't like the current president. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

billvon 2,991 #30 September 9, 2005 Taking a page from Barbara Bush - This hurricane has certainly been a godsend to all the pro-Bush people! They can use this disaster to make some political points. Congratulations of wisely taking advantage of the blessings of nature. (Goes for the anti-Bush people as well.) I have a feeling if the pro-Bushies or the anti-Bushies could actually meet the people who have been affected by this hurricane, they'd both be ashamed at their use of it. Well, the ones with any compassion, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterblaster72 0 #32 September 9, 2005 You keep putting words in my mouth. That doesn't make your president look better. Quote*You're* an enlightened self-thinker because you don't support Bush. I don't support Bush because I ask a lot of questions and think for myself. Not supporting him doesn't make me a self-thinker. Nor does supporting him mean that you're not a self-thinker. QuoteI support Bush, so I'm evidently part of a homosexual daisy chain. I didn't say that and you know I didn't even imply that even though my figurative language smacks of it a bit. You said it. QuoteYes, by all means, keep undercutting yourself I think with statements like those above you're doing that to yourself. It doesn't further your argument. QuoteI won't say you're to eaglenrider's level yet.... but you've got the potential. So you've got a sh.t list and I'm working my way onto it. That ruins my day. I'm not into polarizing, and this is getting very petty. I'd rather talk substance and hear you tell me how, being from TX, your state has become better since W's governorship and the USA has become a better country since 2000. I don't hear much of that from your point of view. What I do hear instead is provocative and polarizing talk egging on "bush bashers." So I reciprocate by letting you know what I think.

gravitational 0 #44 September 10, 2005 QuoteBush in the last five years has budgeted more money to the Army Cor. of Engineerers for projects in the state of La. than that which was budgeted in the last five years of the Clinton Administration. Please post links to sources that verify this. I don't have the links, but have seen reports of the exact opposite where the budgets were cut 44% (if memory serves) since the beginning of the Iraq debacle.
