    Crazy Harry:

    Apparently to vote Democratic you must be very fond of mocking people for their personal statutes. :rolleyes:

    Dude, that was really in bad taste. I can stand making fun of politicians that I support to a point, but making fun of a voter's basis of choice is uncalled for and offensive.

    Do to other's what you'd have them do to you...

    And your point?...



    Just kidding. ;)

    "And you're point?..."
    I like that, :) .
    But really, I just don't want any of the MC folks here disliking each other over politics. It's all about... looooooove! Fer sure!

    Totally man! :) Nah, I don't think you have to worry about anybody getting mad at each other. Most of us are tough skinned, the only thing I'm upset about is that Muley and ALF aren't getting more attention on the evening news. ;)

    My formatting is off..if it's in bold, it's my response.

    Character assination is exactly what was done to Berger, to Clark, and to anybody who stands up to this shameful administration. Don't forget it was someone in the White House who committed the felony of leaking the name of a CIA covert operative. This was done because her husband, Retired Ambassador Joseph Wilson, (sent to Niger by the CIA, at the behest of Vice President Dick Cheney) found nothing to support the claim that Iraq had sought to acquire uranium from Niger -- one of the central claims in the Bush administration's case for war.

    Obviously, I follow the news and politics and think it's important. If you want to vote for Bush, that's your right, and I wouldn't want that taken from you. However, I think that very few people who really look at what this administration has done will want them in again.

    That said, I believe honest people can honestly disagree. :)

  10. Oh right, BUSH is the one running on emotions. Don't even try to tell me Kerry's "I'm a huge war hero who loves my country so much that I came home and protested" shpeal, his "a more SENSATIVE war on terror" platform, his "We are the optimists/We can do better" montra, and for gosh sakes the HAMSTER STORY aren't anything but emotional appeal!! If you want a candidate who runs on emotions, you go to Kerry. :rolleyes:

    September 11th was a great test of a President's ability, and Bush is showing his credentials. End of story. Those complaining about him being responsible for gas prices and jobs need to reflect on September 11th. That is what effected our economy so enormously. Remember how he said to keep putting money into the economy after the planes hit? Yeah. Before we go a-Bush-bashing, we should dig into how this actually started.

    Fear is a choice you make. It's your responsibility if you are afraid. Now what has the President actually told us? He told us NOT to be afraid because that's what the terrorists want!! He sugggests that we continue our everyday lives. Of couse we have extra security, but that's no reason to be afraid -- it's a reason to feel more aware of your surroundings and feel more secure.

    And as far as the whole "lying" thing, here's something fun: www.kerrylied.com

    I don't mean all this to offend any voters personally. I would just like to keep aware that there are two sides to this thing :p :(

    That link to the Jib Jab thing was very fair. Fun stuff!

    Any informed person with a brain and a heart will vote for Kerry, or at least against Bush.
    John Kerry has a Plan to Give Tax Breaks to Corporations who Keep their Companies in the U.S. Kerry is a thinking man, that knows that most political issues are complicated (nuanced). Also he realizes that rich can live without tax cuts, but the rest of us might actually need it. And health care should be a right not a luxury.

  15. Oh, what a caring, HEART-felt message from the left side. Thank you for informing us. I know -- John Kerry certainly is a thinking man; if he could just make-up his mind as to what he's thinking...

    Geez, dudes! As I JUST said, insulting voters is a senseless, offensive thing to do.

    CAN IT!
  16. MuppetsRule Active Member

    What an insulting post this is. To insinuate that anybody that chooses to vote for President Bush is either uninformed, without a brain, or without a heart is offensive. And to insinuate that Kerry is 'a thinking man' and thereby implying that President Bush is not is just as insulting.

    While you may disagree with the policies of President Bush or with those that choose to vote for him, please do not imply that they are all clueless and uninformed. I know it might be hard for you to imagine, but some of them might even be more informed than you. :rolleyes:

    Everybody has a right to form their own opinion without you casting judgement on them. :attitude:

    Even I have to draw the line somewhere.
  18. McFraggle Active Member

    What about "Original Oscar the Grouch Orange?" :grouchy:
  19. Yes. Thankyou, Muppetsrule.

    :concern: > "Whew!"

    Geez, dudes! As I JUST said, insulting voters is a senseless, offensive thing to do.

    This should have been told to Jeb Bush and his cronies down in Florida.
