I'm going to assume that you anti-Bush guys think that if we had a different president and we were at war with some place that all of our troops would be invincible and we would have no deaths at all.
CRUSH!!

"I'm going to assume that you anti-Bush guys think that if we had a different president and we were at war with some place that all of our troops would be invincible and we would have no deaths at all."
That's a stupid assumption - we think that with another president, there wouldn't be a war.
By the way: go visit the site Pete mentioned. (I didn't even know about that $1 trillion deficit - perhaps he should've done what Enron did and make it up ;P)
Uhh, I don't know about you guys, but If Gore was in office when 9/11 happened, I think we would have been more screwed.
Craps, I'm an old man!

maybe a guy who uses his balls rather than his brain would be preferable in a situation like 9/11, but you could say that attacking afgahnistan was a futile attempt at a retaliation, when everyone really knew that no retaliation was possible as there was no absoloute proof.
strange how the spainish government do the opposite: their country has been attacked and instead of decisive action they move to withdrawing their forces from the conflict against terrorism. is this a bad decision? depends if you want your country to appear weak or not.
This is why I don't like to put in my vote. You're going to get an idiot either way. You get an idiot one way and people start taking opposite sides and saying how the world would be a better place if we had the other guy, but by the time we elect a president from the opposite party and we find that that person also gets a bundle of Americans kill... what's there to say then?
DEC Stuff, why did you make this post? You just posted about this. People die in every war, so whats your point? The number of people who have died in this war is very low obviously. Now maybe he should not have made the joke but lets not keep talking about that. It's over with.
Also, if you think one person (the president) controls the whole economy then you are very mistaken. The economy is not even that bad right now. Go look it up for yourself and compare it to the past if you don't believe me.

99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.
I'll talk about Mr. Bush whenever I damn well please.
And another thing, I think Gore would know what to do. He would know not to be invading countries like Iraq, when they had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. And like I said before, we can go out and try and stop terrorism, or we can stop terrorism here. Here in Illinois there are tons of Nuclear Powerplants. If you ever get the chance to see one, do so. The only thing protecting them is a small metel fence in many cases.
Or what about industrial factories, or places were chemicals are made? Ever been near those places? Do they look like they are holding deadly substances?
"Also, if you think one person (the president) controls the whole economy then you are very mistaken. The economy is not even that bad right now. Go look it up for yourself and compare it to the past if you don't believe me."
-Yes, that is exactly what I think.- It is completely President Bush's fault and his fault entirely.
No, really, in reality, im not mad about the economy at all. Im mad because Pres. Bush gave tax cuts to the rich.
"Now maybe he should not have made the joke but lets not keep talking about that. It's over with. "
-Maybe you should ask my friends family that. They have there kid in Iraq. YOu think there through with it? That pissed them off. And you can't say the numbers are low. We've killed thousands of people in Iraq. I think it's great that we liberated the place, but what the fuck? Where are the IMMENENT WMD's?
DEC the numbers are low. Thousands, most wars are in the tens of thousands, and while our soldiers are dieing, every soldier knows that's a possibility when they join.
I'm not saying that we were right or wrong, the only way I would know that was if I had access to ALL information.
George Bush is not the problem, it is a system which allows him into powet that is the problem. But George Bush is still *a* problem, just not *the* problem. Another president may not be perfect, but hopefully they will be slightly better.
The thing that's a problem with politically hyper people is... Anti Bush people are like "It's all Bush's fault! If we had this other guy things would be better!", but no matter what the news says, no matter what you read anywhere about someone... **You never know what's really going on in that guy's head. You do not know what the guy really wants, regardless of what he says. You may read that so and so is like this and says all that and makes himself look like God and will make things all better, but there will always be a chance that your savior will be a complete screw off worse than Bush is said to be.**
