Once again (with feeling) I have never known a person who cast their vote for Bush who was seeking sympathy.

But I do have empathy for those individuals who are incapable of getting over it!

For all of those people that think he's so great and this dirty oil war is needed. I say all children no matter who you are, only child or not, males and females, no matter what your religion says and especially All immigrants must serve in a war zone, in the MILITARY. Then we'll see how many fine Bush lovers change their tunes.
So what does the word WAR stand for anyway, W-we, A-are, R-right? Obviously they think it does up there in the White House.
I was once told that Bush is a God fearing man. Well he had better be fearing God, right now. Because, for anyone to be makeing a big profit like he and his cabinet and cronies are by the blood of others. Well, you figure out the rest.
Unless you get 5 deferments like Dick Cheney He is the elite, so it is God's will, and right for him to get special treatment.

True, but I think that having a rational debate is still more productive because those on the other side of the fence can either choose to have a rational debate, or they become defensive and resort to name calling. Saying "I told you so" just angers people and makes them even more closed to rational reasoning than before

Do you remember when Bush and cronies called those who opposed the war in Iraq and his policies unpatriotic? I do. Maybe a lot of people who have been opposed all along feel vindicated. I guess those of us who didn't go with the flow of mass thought can finally say that we are, in fact patriots, without anyone yelling in our faces that we're unamerican.

Haha. That made me think of an idea. I think that Bush should go on "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?"

I think that maybe that show should be a litmus test for potential presidential candidates. Maybe instead of being nominated by a party, candidates should be able to honestly say they know more than a 5th grader to even get on the ballot (that way we wouldn't have to hear any more inane speeches while candidates are running). Maybe if candidates could prove that they're not morons, we'd have some more thoughtful leadership.

On the other hand, evil+smart=scary. Ok, maybe it's better if they're as uneducated as Bush obviously is. At least some of us can plainly see his idiocy then.

I think Bush was already on "Are you smarter than John Kerry?" And he proved that he is.

So why are you saying such devastating things about the junior Senator from Massachusetts?

That made no sense. I'm not a fan of Kerry either, but winning an election does not prove that a candidate is smarter. It just means that he has more money and has more people who know how to put a spin on reality.

Doing cocaine while at Yale must have interfered with his retention of grammar. Oh well at least Daddy paid for his college. I had to pay my own way, actually studied in college.

He never worked for one thing he has; we need a Pres. who worked his way up....

It's amazing that people resent others because of money. Class envy at work.

Oh, okay. Its just that your examples made Bush out to be such a patently idiotic buffoon, that it seems amazing that he would receive more votes than any other Presidential candidate in the history of the Repulbic.

Maybe most of the voters are intellectually inferior to 5th graders...?
