BUSH SUCKS

“CNNTIME POLL: SUPPORT DROPPING FOR SENDING U.S. TROOPS TO IRAQ

Support has fallen for sending U.S. ground troops to Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein, according to a new TIME/CNN Poll. Only 51 percent of Americans are now in favor, from 70 percent in December, (Opposed are 40% now, v. 22% in December.)

Most Americans (65%) agree with the Bush administration's argument that the U.S. would be morally justified in invading Iraq to remove Saddam from power (26% say it would be unjustified). But nearly half (49%) say that action would lead to a long and costly war before the U.S. could claim victory. One in seven (15%) believe the U.S. would eventually have to withdraw from Iraq without a victory.

Large majorities say that military action in Iraq would lead to higher oil prices (88%), greater instability in the Middle East (74%), and an increased chance of terrorism in the U.S. (77%).

The President needs to get Congressional authorization before taking action, most Americans (68%) believe (28% approve of using force without authorization). Half (53%) don't think Bush is moving too quickly to war with Iraq (40% believe he is).

Support for war with Iraq is lowest among senior citizens, college graduates and low-income Americans. Liberals oppose military action in Iraq (although they supported it in December. Moderates are split, leaving only conservatives unquestionably in favor of sending troops to Iraq. Other results:

* Bush Approval Rating Down: George Bush's approval rating of 65% is the lowest it has been since before last Sept. 11 (the "high" was 89% Oct. 12; it was 55% July 17-18, 2001 before jumping to 78% Sept. 13).

* Economy: For the first time since 1995 a majority (52%) say the economy is in "poor" or "very poor" shape. A thin majority (52%) say Bush is doing a good job on the economy.

* Colin Powell's "Favorable" Ratings Are the Highest: Powell is the most popular Administration figure (rated favorably by 78%), v. Bush (69%), Rumsfeld (51%) and Cheney (49%).

* Rudy Giuliani Very Popular: New York's former Mayor (76%) is almost as popular as Powell.

The TIME/CNN Poll was conducted Aug. 28-29 among 1,004 adults.”

“Are pollsters expecting a 'soft landing'?

<G>”

“100,000 troops. 1,000 advisors. An arsenal of military equipment.

I'd call that a military build-up.”

“No, no, no, Bush BLOWS......cocaine!!!”

“I had to laugh. Some women wrote a letter to the editor in one of our papers. Short, sweet and to the point.

She compared Dubya to some kid who rides on Daddy's tails.... and asked, now just how many will get hurt or die with him out there driving Daddy's Caddy without supervision.

I LMAO! lol”

“clinton swallows....”

“What a low, nasty thing to say.”

“I was under the impression monika did the swallowing”

“I thought it was Monica who swallowed, although not very well.”

“Lower or nastier than saying Bush sucks or prays to Osama for another act of terrorism?”

“Monica was obviously a spitter...”

“Actually, this reminds me of one of the better Clinton jokes (I pulled the first verion I could find off the web):

"CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR..."




Clinton dies and he goes to hell. Satan meets him there and says, Bill, we have to find a spot for you for all of eternity."

So Satan takes Bill down a hall and they come to the first door and open it. Inside is Bill Gates being burned at the stake.

"No," Bill balks. "I can't do that for all of eternity."

"Fair enough," says Satan.

Satan takes Bill down the hall to a second door. Inside is Rush Limbaugh being pulled apart on the Rack.

"No," Bill again balks. "I can't do that for all of eternity, either!"

Satan takes Bill to the last door. Inside, Kenneth Starr is being held up to the wall with chains around his wrists and ankles. Kneeling in front of him is Monica Lewinsky, giving him a blowjob. A big smile slowly spreads across Bill's face.

"Yes!" he shouts. "That's for me!"

Satan walks into the room, kicks Monica and shouts, "Get up Monica, and get out! Your replacement is here!"”

“Former President Clinton was being entertained by an African leader.
The African leader smiled...and suggested that Clinton, participate in the National game of 'African Roulette'...that is related to 'Russian Roulette'. President Clinton frowned. "Russian Roulette is not...a friendly...nice...game. The African leader smiled again... "That's why we developed African Roulette. If you want to have good relations with our country, you'll have to play. I'll show you how." He pushed a buzzer, and a moment later six magnificently built, nude women were ushered in. "You can choose any one of those women to give you oral sex," he told Clinton.

This gained Clinton's immediate attention, and he was ready to make his choice, when a thought occurred to him. "How on earth is this related to Russian roulette?" he asked.


The African leader responded, "One of them is a cannibal."”

“"Lower or nastier than saying Bush sucks or prays to Osama for another act of terrorism?"

I suppose that should absolve Stratdewd? Two wrongs make it alright?

Ridiculous.


Where WOULD Bush be without his daddy's friends to bail him out Time after Time?

Another failed west texas wildcatter.”

“Face it! The ONLY REASON Bush is in office is the fraudulent dealings of the florida bush brother's toadie GIVING HIM THE PRESIDENCY.

The only reason he remains a supported president is DUE TO 9-11!

The only way he get re-elected is by either FORCING THE COUNTRY INTO WAR WITH IRAQ or once again allowing the terrorists to blow something up.

This warmongering fascist should be held in the same regard as STALIN or MUSSOLINI!”

“That cartoon is pretty offensive.

Then again, so is this administration.”

“I think dressing Bush up like a Vulcan really sent Spock over the edge.”

“LOL... good one Tilt!”

“I'm always dissappointed when anyone replies to threads started by this little prick.

I think most of the people on this list have a genuine interest in backpacking in some way. Some of the trolls are actually entertaining. But this little prick just spews political hate.

On the bright side the little prick must suffer from great emotional stress. Hopefully the little prick has a bleeding ulcer.

Whatever you're political views are, joining in a conversation with this little prick is shameful and should be avoided.

This will be my last response to threads started by the little prick. Unless I feel the need to dissappoint myself again.”

“First off, fair is fair.. why should Clinton bashers hold their tongue while Georgie is getting bashed.

I don't trust Bush at all. I eagerly voted against him in the Republican primary and the general election. I also think Clinton's enemies behaved far more despicably than he did. Nonetheless, he was/is a lying slut and when he looked the camera and thus the public in the eye and lied about this - he earned the ridicule he has received.”

“Ah, let's all become bottom-feeders, then. To counter Spock, we should emulate him?

Yes, I suppose you would say that it's 'fair,' but why would anyone do that to themselves?


(I still don't understand the point of the Vulcan get-up)”

“Well you have a point Tilt... we could all be more civil (but wouldn't that spoil the fun a bit) and sometimes I regreat the nastiness here. Still, I think you were a bit quick to hammer Strat for incivility when it was getting dished out in the other direction in spades without much protest.

I ain't trying to pick a fight with you Tilt. Mostly I wish there were more like you here, and your most of your politics make good sense to me.”

“OK, maybe the Vulcan get up is to say he is logical (cough, cough) and HAS NO EMOTIONS.

OR maybe he is supposed to look like he's from that area of the world. NOT VULCAN!! But Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.”

“Hmmmmm... the ears are Vulcan, but the costume is like Early Khaddaffi.


I dunno, Ped. I think I grew completely numb to Spock's little tirades some time ago and just tuned him out. I actually read the first two sentences of one of his posts once, and that was All I needed to know, LOL

And I refuse to join any organization that would have me as a member, <rim shot>. Be careful what you wish for!”

“alot of people poke fun and dat's allright, but when i start pokin back they get all uptight. you can't cap wif da master son, so sitcho ass down fore i blast ya one




so garfum...are you sayin this guy is a lil prick? lol! i'm out too. i know what i believe, and aint gonna change nobodies mind. don't really care to. nobody seems to care much for my opinions either, so ima stick ta backpackin threads and quit wastin my time on closed minds...”

“Astounding.”

“That's "Mister pseudo-neo-liberal" to you Strat!

(actually I'm a paleo-pagan, Godess lovin, anarchistic, anachronistic, quasi-commie)”

“Bush appears to be dressed like a petty dictator much like his buddy Pervez Mooshareff, the fearless leader of Pakistan.

I'm sure Per-vez could arrange a little terror for Georgie Boy in exchange for some F-16's or something.”

“I wonder what Mohn JcCain would be doing as pres/Commander in Chief if he had won the presidency.”

“That speculation is mighty tantalizing, Mutt.”

“McCain calling himself a Republican is like putting Cadillac emblems on Honda.....”

“You are soooooo right.

McCain is far too civil and fair-minded to call himself a Republican.

As crazy as McCain seems at times, he is a ruthlessly fair man.
He's a Republican whom even I trust.
I don't believe that he's for sale.”

“Yeah, anyone who supports campaign finance reform is ok in my book.”

“I thought the cartoon was funny. And, it's not outside the realm of possibility that what it alludes to could be true...”

“I think in a sick way it's right. About a year ago Dubya said he wasn't gonna shoot a 2 million dollar missle into a 10 dollar tent so he could hit a camel in the butt.

So he spent a lot more than that chances are Bin Laden is running around possibly planning something else, and now Dubya wants to go after Saddam who isn't rebuilt from the last time we kicked his a$$. Funny how it's election time... he doesn't look so ridiculous when he's rattling his saber”

“Wow. More automobile imagery.

It reminds me of Bruce Springsteen in concert...

"Back when you were just outta highschool a couple of years, didn't know who you wanted to be, your parents are down on ya, you're tryin' to find a job... then you meet this Girl...

Now here's a song about a car."”

“Remember when it leaked during the primaries that Buchannon was driving a Benz?

"Mr. Buy American," LOL”

“Remember when it leaked that Butch was nabbed for drunk driving?

There's your automobile imagery.”

“I guess being a junkie runs in the family”

“Looks like that could be Strike Two if the people at the rehab center testify.”

“God is on the side of the president.”

“John McCain reminds me of Eisenhauer and Truman. He's actually to the right of where George Bush Sr. was when he first ran for office.

I was living in New Hampshire in the presidential primary and we got a good look at all the candidates. He had a level of integrity and honesty that made me prefer him over people who were closer to me on the issues.

I also have a cousin who was a POW with McCain and knows him well. He says that McCain does have q”

“... he says that McCain does have quite a temper, but that he's got the courage of his convictions and has rock solid integrity. I think the Republican party has moved far to the right of him. He has not moved much.”

“McCain wrote an interesting essay in TIME magazine.”

“He's still a pro-lifer.”

“pro-lifer? then he's evil.”

“GEORGE CARLIN FOR PRESIDENT!”

“Hot damn, John McCain!

There are honest Republicans.”

“Howard Dean for president.”
