I bet you said that when Clinton left office too, didn't you?


EarthnSky, two things: First, you can try to blame Bush solely for Iraq if you want, but in order to do so you have to totally ignore the overwhelming vote of support he got from Congress. And one cannot just say "well Bush lied and fooled them into voting for it" because that indicates that Congress is populated completely by mindless automatrons too stupid to formulate their own conclusions (which may be true, but then makes Bush no worse than the rest of them).

Secondly, and more interesting because we're all tired of the "Bush lied people died" chant of the sheeple:
I'm not sure Edwards dropping out and endorsing Obama would really give Obama a whole lot of momentum. Edwards has run a distant third from the start, and has proven for two elections now that he doesn't have what it takes to motivate or inspire voters. After all, if one wants to listen to an ambulance chaser, he only has to turn on the TV and watch a few commercials.


Hyway is right about this election--SSDD.

Vote for Obama and things won't get any better, vote for McCain and things will only get very slightly better.

“Interesting article about the Kennedy Obama connection:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/106240”

“The million or so people who've been blown to bits thanks to your idiot aren't chanting anything anymore.”

“McCain is it.....PERIOD....He is our next president.....”

“Ummm, how can you say thing will get better with McPAIN. He's a Mc-Freakin'-WAR MONGER!!! And, he's made that abundantly clear. Hey buddy! They aren't the VC!!

Anyway, if Obama is it, I'll definintely go with him. I think he will blow McCain outta the water. However, I'm gonna be watching tonight's Dem debate and that will probably solidify my position.”

“Silly libbies.”

“Dude, when did I say all of "you" are. thanks for being a vet. Doesn't mean I have to vote for you. And yeah, Mccain wants to keep at it in the ME. In my book, that makes him a war monger.”

“Your FREEDOM cost us greatly,,,,,You don't like freedom , then go away to another country...I have been and seen other countries and I am so proud to be born American......TRY living in other countries and check your freedom......Our freedom COST US not by running our mouths about WAR MONGERS... but by excepting the price we have to pay to have it...YES IT IS SAD it cost us what it has.....but until you have abetter way then shut your mouth.”

“SMW, your arguement is a little weak.

IMHO, the "lie" was so complete that they completely sucked in Colin Powell.

But, regardless of who got duped, a lie...will always be a lie.”

“WHAT LIE ... specifically?”

“I am no DUDE... Iam the FRIDGE”

“Before I let NGB get flayed, I must confess that last post was by me before I realized she hadn't logged out.”

“Rosey... Shillary... or Billary... or Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriends Wife.... is very beholden to the war machine... I think she'd be far better than McInsane, but she is such a corporate whore I can't imagine voting for her...
BUT, if she gets the nomination, she'll get my vote... At least with her, we know what we're getting.

I'm hoping Obabma gets the nom... We don't know as much about him and that may bite us in the butt... but, at least he represents something new/different... and he (IMHO) has to potential to really reach out and bring a lot of us together... (rose colored glasses?)”

“NGB is not silly.”

“Fridge (I am assuming from your girth), I have lived in other countries, you twerp. Guess what, they get to say whatever the feck they want over there as well, just like me. They protest a hell of lot more than lazy, fat Americans tend to and don't put up with crap. I've seen your chest-thumping type all over the place in my life. You're just another guy, no better, no worse.”

“I'm hoping Obabma gets the nom... We don't know as much about him and that may bite us in the butt... but, at least he represents something new/different... and he (IMHO) has to potential to really reach out and bring a lot of us together... (rose colored glasses?)

Yeah, likely.

“LMAO rosey......You have never had too fight for your freedom...so that puts you at a disadvantage.......”

“Guess what, they get to say whatever the feck they want over there as well, just like me.

LOL. More rose colored glasses? Ever been to Russia? China? North Korea? Canada?

Did you know in Canada you can serve prison time for repeating certain bible verses?”

“Merry Christmas Rosey...”

“I officially refuse to vote for McCain.”

“I hope Obama gets the nomination. Mc Cain will eat him alive.”

“You see rosey what you fail to understand is all those countries that will let there people say what they want to is because they paid the price with War Mongers......That;s what it takes to give you your freedom....Duuuhuu”

“that liberal rating is retarded.”

“one thing different about me rosey..than you...I made my life financially sound by myself,,, you are still working on yours....I will retire at 55......”

“"Serious question but wrong thread, I know: What's the beef with Romney? Is it the religion thing or something else?"

Romney is the traditional flip-flopper. Even yesterday, he commented to a contributor to the CNN panel that he opposes gay marriage, but approves of gay rights. He placates to what ever side will hear him. The religious thing is obviously an issue with the Republican base.

Romney likes to claim that he is an "outsider", yet he is a pillar of big business. When I think of Romney, I think DeVos.

Besides, Big Rush tells the elites and little people that Romney is no good. If Rush don't aint's likes him, how could any Republicans?

This guy is worse than John Kerry. The Dems would love for the Republicans to send that sucker up for nomination.”

“Sheeyat man, I'll be a millionaire at 55...”

“Romney is the traditional flip-flopper. Even yesterday, he commented to a contributor to the CNN panel that he opposes gay marriage, but approves of gay rights.

Libs don't understand what flip-flopping is.”

“Rosey/ I see from your Profile you are from California. Nice country.....I also know your Governor has endorsed McCain.....I love the Sierra's and especially the PCT....You Cali folk rock..”

“I didn't expect anything less from the Gov., but the reality is we are a blue state.

The gov is married to a Kennedy and probably won't be getting any for a while, even tho his wife knows he had to do it to save face among the party. He votes a pretty centrist line.”

“Rosey/ I all ready am.....not in cash but in Properties I own and stocks I have.. And for the record.. Who ever gets elected, I will fully support them as our President.. Spoken by a True American and veteran.....”

“rosey/ It has been a pleasure to have been able to voice my opinions and read yours as well... I appreciate your drive and energy.... You are what make us all American the FREE. You are a real American as well..Thank you.....

“That's great! Everyone in my generation is pretty much gonna have to be a millionaire when they retire in order to live a comfortable life.

However, that does not change that I do not fully (and blindly) support my president no matter what. to do so is against everything this country was founded on. If our founders had all thought the way you do, we could still be a colony.

“Glad we could end it civilly, at least. Later, Fridge.”

“No problem with me roseymonster/ I do not ever hold GRUDGES with anyone ever. I have been angered by a few but never go to bed with a GRUDGE on my mind or with my Spirit.
Anger held is a burden for our Carma...”

“He votes a pretty centrist line.�

Reference above from Rosey is to our Governator who is scheduled to endorse McCain today.

The reason McCain is the leading candidate is that he's not a radical... call him a "centrist" if you like, to me that's a compliment! I couldn't imagine anyone with an IQ above room temperature voting for an extremist candidate from either party... anyone who exclusively follows a party line (Dem or Rep party) is not someone worth your vote...”

“"Libs don't understand what flip-flopping is."

Again, the troll can't discuss this issue. "Libs" may or may not understand what a flip-flop is, however, this Reagan Democrat sure as hell does.

Romney equals

”

“NOW MISTER EARTHNSKY/ you stated that you would not vote for McCain just recently as today, but this is what you said a few days ago...

my choices for president, as follows:
1. Obama
2. McCain (although, his hardlined position on Iraq sucks and I hope a democratic congress would get us out of Iraq, finally).
3. Hillary.. god she scares me.
4. there is no 4.

Are you representing the DEM and telling us you have changed your mind....or did you just forget...”

“Go getem wanderer/ I like what you speak...”

“EarthNsky / your not one of those flip flops laqtis is demonstrating? I know your a strong backpacker and could do a Flip Flop thru hike on the AT, but don't tell me your also one of those flops...

just haven fun man.....Merry Christmas”

“no, I read into some more of McCain's positions and specifically, his 100 year war in Iraq and I would now vote for Hillary before McCain. If I were to vote republican, which is unlikely, but if I were, I would vote for Ron Paul before any of the others. Ron Paul has no chance. In the event of a McCain and Hillary race, I will vote green party.”

“Hey Frig - That pic is clearly an example of my take on Romney. Don't get me in the middle of this moonshine pull ;)”

“1. Obama
2. Al gore
3. Green Party
4. Hillary, god forbid
5. Ron Paul
6. McCain”

“In my opinion, the war in Iraq is jepordizing our freedom rather than preserving it. No disrespect to our military fighting over there, but I disagree with ever going there in the first place.

now, if I were to thru hike... I'd easily be a north bounder. I'd want to be in New England in the fall and the Smokies and Roans in the spring.

“Ralph Nader.”

“1. Obama
2. Samuel L. Jackson
3. The Devil
4. Myself”

“I agree with you EarthNsky but the Democrats fully backed Pres Bush after 911 and give him a budget with no strings attatched... so all and BOTH parties are guilty. We have made some serious mistakes and now it is time to come up with a solution rater than point thy finger. But hell it's politics isn't it.... they will never fix it, until we all AMERICANS stand up and say no more,,, but we will not because we are lost sheep being led by the RICH and Plotical Powerful....”

“Frig -- the Dems did not Fully back Bush after 9/11. Let's be fair here. There were a few that voted against the war. The Dem controlled Congress has many times attempted to pass funding bills that would require a timetable withdrawal, or strings attached. All of those have been struck down by Bush. The Dems did not have majority in Congress until just very recently. When the Dem tried to fillabuster bad funding bills, or any bill for that matter, Frist threaten a suspension of the Senate rules in order to back door the fillabuster, something no party has done in a very long time.

In short, I do not think that what your opinion reflects is as clear cut and dried. It's easy to be general, but everyone must work a little on both sides to see just ho deep the crap is that both sides have been shoveled.”
