Darius11 12 #29 September 19, 2005 Will I have to say I am glad no one is arguing that bush is not an Idiot. Dan Quayle never became president was made fun of by all. I don’t think you will see any one of the left as you guys would say stand up and call you a traitor for calling him a dumbass. Why is it the righties again as you guys would call it don’t have that capability.

That's cause the smarty pants type can read the constitution. Right, but that doesn't stop you from saying that people voted for Bush are people who have poor grammar. I just think it's funny that the intellectually superior types will accuse Bush supporters of being simpletons while using their last breath to get the votes of the uneducated by promising to give them stuff and saying that the other candidate only cares about the rich. Pretty hypocritical, don't you think?Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know quite a few Bush supporters who can spell. >I just think it's funny that the intellectually superior types will accuse > Bush supporters of being simpletons while using their last breath >to get the votes of the uneducated by promising to give them stuff > and saying that the other candidate only cares about the rich. >Pretty hypocritical, don't you think? Well, as I'm not dead and have no plans on drawing my last breath any time soon, and as I didn't try to get _any_ votes for anyone, the above wouldn't seem to apply to me (or anyone here.) Or did you mean someone different? A dead campaigner, perhaps? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent 0 #32 September 19, 2005 Did you or did you not just take a shot at people who voted for Bush? Maybe you didn't... maybe you do think that they all use poor grammar and clear brush. I just think it is funny that people say things like that, then ignore the fact that there are complete morons who voted for every candidate. I know I know... it's cool to pick on Bush and think that the majority of the US is stupid, but it isn't right.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #34 September 19, 2005 QuoteWill I have to say I am glad no one is arguing that bush is not an Idiot. Because the only thing idiotic about any of the presidents is the wish to have that crappy job. I doubt any of them qualify for that insult (yes, even Carter). Again, petty and childish - stick to content. Now let's have more silly quotes from politicians. This current line of discussion is old and worn out. ...

billvon 2,990 #35 September 19, 2005 >maybe you do think that they all use poor grammar and clear brush. You mistake my intent. I'm not bashing people who use poor grammar or clear brush, but rather a campaign that chooses a 'good ol boy' to appeal to what they perceive to be their core constituency. Want someone to gripe about? Gripe about Rove and company, who seem to think that republicans welcome a leader who acts first and thinks later, and who disdains snooty things like foreign languages and science. >I know I know... it's cool to pick on Bush and think that the majority >of the US is stupid, but it isn't right. Oh, please. More people voted for Gore than Bush in the 2000 election, and republicans took a lot of joy in bashing them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #36 September 20, 2005 QuoteQuoteOnce again the failure to see that everybody says dumb things sometimes. Sure Clinton said stupid things sometimes. Only thing is Bush says them 100 times as much, at 100x the magnitude of stupidity. Sorry, but the lists of quotes do not compare. I don't see anything in Clinton's list nearly as disturbing as sh.it like "I trust God speaks through me..." ____ 15. "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001 14. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002 __ "Do you have blacks, too?" "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." "There ought to be limits to freedom" And that 50-item list just scrapes the surface of the drivel uttered over the last five years. I think there will be volumes of this stuff by January 2009. Once again the defense of Clinton is "Bush is Stupider". (sic) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is my MISSION to set the word LIBERAL to what it should be. Democrats are not liberal. Just like republicans are no longer conservative. Let us get that straight. Repblicans or democrats...I see very few of EITHER who understand the "common" man.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

But I've never promised any freebies to any lazy people - although I have bought beer for people who did nothing to deserve it other than sit around while I did something interesting. I must admit catering to the weirdo fringe on occasion - heck, I've gone BASE jumping with Walt! And I don't think I know any really 'common' man. Just about everyone I've met has been unique in one way or another. So I will have to plead guilty on the weirdo fringe thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent 0 #40 September 20, 2005 Bill, go back and read what you wrote. It really seems that you look down on the people who got Bush elected. Sure lots of people say that anyone who voted against "their candidate" is stupid, but I'd have thought you'd be above that. I wouldn't have said anything about it, but I was surprised to actually see you wrote something like that. Many people here and elsewhere have mentioned that this attitude may be the reason that people don't elect the high-and-mighty candidates. Some parties just don't get it yet. If they did, we might start seeing some real alternatives in the next elections.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
