Bashing republican\democrats thread

Well let's see:

First, we aren't "taking over". We're toppling a government and trying to give the people the choice that they haven't had for however many years he ruled.

- so you're IMO, you're talking from propaganda.

Second, what evidence shows we're trying to "supplant their culture". What we're trying to do as far as I can tell, is set up a government to allow them to have whatever kind of culture they want. Would you say they 'wanted' what they had under Sadaam or were they 'forced to endure it'?

- sounds like you're still working from propaganda.

The idea that we're trying to "supplant their belief system" is as far as I've seen "utterly unsupportable". Has anyone said "you can't be muslims!"? Seriously? What a crock.

- so three false claims add up to one completely false load.

No?

Saying "go insurgency go" is simply treasonous. That you would wish death upon our soldiers is simply fucking brutal. Did you know that our mission isn't to kill Iraqi citizens, but to protect them? Anywhere in the world, if you shoot at the cops, they shoot back. They also canvas the neighborhoods when there are criminals with rocket launchers? Oh, is that "forcing our culture on them"? Wouldn't want to give the peaceful folks a chance to survive eh? Most US soldiers in Iraq are simply people with guns who intend to protect the peaceful people of Iraq while we help them get on their feet. The intention is that later, Iraq will support itself and be a peaceful, strong nation - perhaps even an ally.

Go insurgency? That's disgusting.

Lastly, if you believe that it's right for the insurgents to be "nationalists", then aren't you a hypocrite? Don't you think "nationalism sucks"?

My Favourite George Bush Quote Of 2004

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."
May 25, 2004.

Best Quote ever Was in 2000 when a comedy show called "This Hour has 22 minutes" had a special called "Talking to Americans" in which they ask Americans questions and have them reply to issues that do not exist.

After a presidental speech, a Canadian said to Bush as he was rushing past "Prime Minister Poutine supports your election" (or something like that) and Bush simpley said "Thank You"

For thoes of you who don't know Poutine is Fries, Gravy And Cheese.

Too funny!

But even on shows like "The tonight show" and "Jimmy Kimmle Live", they have been constantly showing clips of Bush saying stupid, stupid things, during presidential candidates speeches. There really is just too many to quote for 2004.

 

why do you think he has all those suits following him round: to scoop up his verbal diorrhea.

he is an illiterate dumbass, i dont soo how he even got to be a senator

 

Bush was quoted as saying to a group of black republicans earlier this year 'I Want To Be your Peace President' or something like it..........He's an Idiot!

Atta Boy

 

He was a Senator?

 

Yeah, a rag like the gaurdian! That's a great source!

Got anything else?

Regardless, if it's true that's incredibly sad but doesn't change what I said.

Have you noticed that the insurgents generally target iraqis?

 

Got anything else?

Yup.
I won't cross post, it's over here

Regardless, if it's true that's incredibly sad but doesn't change what I said.

Granted. I'd just read about it when I came across your post.

Have you noticed that the insurgents generally target iraqis?
There are a lot of different insurgents and yes some of them do.
I guess it's just easier to kill Iraqis.

Regards.

Great job "protecting" 100 000 of them.

 

To give Bush some credit, there IS a world leader with the name similar to "poutine".

Kerry: unamerican twit

READ THIS

 

I read. One more proof: America is amazing mixture - there are no boundaries for human stupidity and wisdom... What i read belongs to the first one...

 

Ho hum, how pointless. Lets see, theres a bit where it says:

"Jerome Corsi, a specialist on the Vietnam era, told WND the new discoveries are the "most remarkable documents I've seen in the entire history of the antiwar movement."

"We're not going to say he's an agent for Vietnamese communists, but it's the next thing to it," he said. "Whether he was consciously carrying out their direction or naively doing what they wanted, it amounted to the same thing – he advanced their cause." "

And later that gets twisted to:
"Corsi says the documents show how the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong, the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Communist Party of the USA and Kerry's VVAW worked closely together to achieve the Vietnamese communists' primary objective – the defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam"

So, from he had common aims gets changed to he was one of them and working against us. Now, has any independent entity seen these papers?

As for the second document, if all they can say is
"Significantly, the fifth paragraph makes it clear the Vietnamese communists were using, for propaganda purposes, a protest described as taking place April 19-22, 1971."
then, surely thats no worse than US propaganda using whatever pictures of vietnamese getting food aid to claim things are going well in vietnam. And it certainly doenst mean Kerry is an enemy agent.

Besides, whats any more unamerican about him than Bush? Theyre both rich, inherited money, and are politicians. Is that all that Americans aspire to?

 

Report: Bush campaign staffer allegedly threatened teen's life
Bush camp preaching to choir, has no use for Democrats or the undecided

The press has, since the Democratic convention, picked a bone with the Bush administration regarding the attendance and nature of Bush/Cheney campaign events. News footage of arrests, tales of rude and menacing behavior, hand-picked crowds, and loyalty oaths seem to define the character of the GOP's presidential re-election bid. Mimicking the Bush administration's contempt for its constituents, the Bush/Cheney campaign has shown utter disdain for the voters. Apparently Bush--who compared undecided voters to insects--just doesn't see the need to sell his message outside the conservative base. No, rather, while the conservative side of the aisle rails against a media perceived as favoring liberalism, the Bush campaign would rather leave it to the media to tell the voters what Bush is saying. And no, that's not hyperbole.

From the grapevine, out from Iowa:

You heard it from the Bush campaign: there's only so much room, and they'd rather preach to the choir.

And conceding such things can tend to make a person grumpy. So as the Bush campaign concedes that it is not prepared to pitch directly to voters not committed to a Bush victory, we might imagine they could become just a little bit testy about it:

As a side note, perhaps the escalated hyperbole of the Bush campaign has desensitized part of their natural instincts: "To the best of my knowledge . . . ." Was there ever a time in history when people didn't doubt the validity of what came after a phrase like, "To the best of my knowledge"?

The President recently told USA Today's Judy Keen, "This campaign boils down to a matter of trust: Who has earned the trust of the American people?"

Once again, failing in his quest to be a uniter and not a divider, Bush has divided the country with his campaign: there are those who already agree with him, and those who aren't worth giving a sh@t about.

Why should any undecided voter or potential Democratic crossover trust George W. Bush? He doesn't trust them enough to speak directly to them, but only to hope the media he so despises presents his message clearly for him.

Liberal Dictionary

I did not write this but I think many of the points are right on the money for many liberals.

http://mysite.verizon.net/res0qiwd/ldict.htm

I posted the Liberal Dictionary to add some humor into the debate. Humor always has a ring of truth to be funny. I think this thread could be used to discuss buzz words and euphemisms on both sides. liberals should add their own words to describe their view of conservatives, and other conservatives can add their own to the list. It could be fun.
