Whats worse? Lying about numerous things before you even MAKE IT to the presidency.
You're right. That sucks. It's pretty shitty. But the fact that Kerry wouldn't respond like a little child to 9/11 or some other event, the fact that he is planning to give free healthcare to all americans, etc, *whether* nor not all of his plans go through 100%...that overrides the fact that he lied abou thaving an SUV and throwing away medals...Jesus Fuck...ANything is better than Bush. Anything.
Whats worse? People who honestly believe that if Kerry took office, he'd immediately be 100% transparent.
Bullshit. Who said he would be 100% transparent? He's a Demogag, a joke, a phony, just as much as Bush is. But see what's the worst that can happen under him? Some rich people are over-taxed, and people get free medical care? OH NO! Anything but that!
As opposed to WW3, which Bush can and might cause. I guess having people who make 125k pay 20k instead of 15k in taxes supersedes the post-apocalyptic wasteland that America under fire could become. I guess you're so wrapped up in your own little concerns that other people don't really mean much to you. That's basically Republicanism in a nutshell. I'm doing fine; fuck everyone else!
Most of this stuff isn't even worth responding to, because people are throwing out blatant misinformation (South Korea as a democracy is stronger than ever;
Are you loopy tadou? No one ever said South Korea was a failed democracy. You were the first and only person to mention South Korea in this entire thread...
Iraq war in its pre-stage was easily more successful than any other war; and so on).
Where was the international support? Where was the plan to fix the structural damage caused by a de-Baathification and removal of Saddam? Where was the viable political, economic, and monetary plan for Iraq? There was none. The Bush cabinet of 85+ year old grandpas assumed everything would fall into place just like Bush's governancy and presidency. Unfortunately, it didn't, and there was no contingency plan.
Words from the white house: "They will accept us with open arms"- testimony taken from a man exiled from Iraq at the age of 9.
The leader of Iraq's governing council was killed in a car bomb just last week...if Bush's pre-war plannming had been sound,
1.There would have been sufficient ground forces to ensure security
2. There would have been not just one but multiple contingencies and frameworks in case shit went wrong. (There was not even 1 plan B; the Bush administration will now put more thought into how to extricate themselves from Iraq than they put into how to occupy and transfer Iraq)
The point is, the Siccness webboard and a few progressive/independent websites are not the only people in the United States capable of thinking for themselves. You can bash Fox News and O'Reilly and Limbaugh all day long if you'd like. But the average American is not nearly as stupid as you would have them be.
So only the Siccness webboard and a few independant websits are the only people who think Bush is a faulty ass candidate? I see. If Bush is so great, then what the fuck has he done?
Legislatively? Nothing, except making sure more children are left behind and Forcing old people to go off Medicare and into HMOs they can't afford.
Economically? Bush has established a debt that will take decades to pay off with his Iraq experiment. You can't really blame Bush for a shitty economy post 9/11, but all he has done is exacerbate the shitty conditions he was handed.
Domestically? Besides pushing for the very impirtant banning of gay marriages, Bush hasn't really done much.
Is he...
Intelligent? Hah. He's probably the only high profile Yale student to actually get C's, he scored a 25 out of 100 on his National Guard Entry Exam...but I guess that means nothing to you tadou....but then again don't you stress the relevance and importance of standardized test scores?
A good leader? If by a good leader you mean "Gets an idea in his head and runs with it, no matter how retarded it is", then yes.
A good politician? Yea...he sure knows how to...compromise...and get people to agree on things! No wait he doesn't, he just sets a mission statement and stomps on everyone in his way! Are you African-American in a state his brother runs? You'll probly vote Democrat, let's just remove you from the rolls! Are you against the war in the CIA? Hey, we'll just let someone in our cabinet leak your personal information, exposing you to physical danger!
Holding up a sign that says "Bush Lied, People Died" never raised anyones IQ.
And ignoring the truth of that statement does the opposite.
