Freakin' Democrat...

And you are not going to like any better after the war when Kerry takes off the kid gloves ...

 

I wouldn't disagree with him. Bush and his staff need to go.

 

At the rate Rumsfeld is calling people out, we'll probably be at war with somebody else during the next election. I hope Kerry doesn't "keep his mout shut" then. I don't know what his chances are though, we already know that a Vietnam vet, like Gore, can't beat a "fortunate son" who went AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard. I know, I know, youthful indiscretions.

Kerry didn't say what kind of regime he wants to replace our democratic republic--a military dictatorship? a monarchy?--but he was very critical of the U.S. for having made what he called an "end run around the U.N." So perhaps he favors replacing the U.S. government with a U.N. protectorate. Such a proposal seems unlikely to go over well with American voters, though.

Another possibility is that Kerry was misusing the word "regime," and that what he meant to call for was a change of administration, which of course would come to pass in the unlikely event that Kerry were elected president. But could this be? After all, Democrats are supposed to be way smarter than Republicans, so you wouldn't expect a guy like Kerry to go around making stupid verbal miscues.

 

Well a bunch of fools found a way to support Clinton through and adulthood of indiscretions. I suppose we can put up with a fortunate son who has, at least, grown up.

 

Well, maybe if the country was in good shape like it was back then, I'd be willing to forgive as well.

I don't remember calling people who voted for Bush fools, but good to know how you view those with a different opinion.

 

And Bush wins. The man might be an idiot (or not), his subordinates certainly are not.

And Bush wins votes.

 

I must be a dumb azz too. I agree with him.

1. IMO W is a boob.
2. IMO W wrecked our relationships with several foreign governments and the UN. If Rumsfeld keeps talking, he's gonna get us into WWIII.
3. I have the right, nay, the DUTY, to scrutinize my elected officials.
4. I support the troops.

... and once for all, 1, 2, & 3 have NOTHING AT ALL to do with 4.

 

A lot of people who voted for Clinton were deeply disappointed by him. I think it is foolish to stand by a president of the US who lies to the Grand Jury and to the Nation. That is more than just having a differing opinion. That is setting someone above the law.

 

Clinton rode the wave of the 90's. He didn't make the splash that created it.

 

In all fairness, bin Laden started the twenty first century. Bush, of course, pushed it to his direction.

 

I guess we will just to have to agree to disagree on this one. I see nothing wrong with him saying that this country needs a leadership change and it being "bad timing" because we are at war. Trent Lott did the same thing to Clinton and I didn't see anything wrong with that either.

 

I don't have a problem with anything but Kerry's misuse of the English language. If it's his opinion, he should state it. The people of New Hampshire and of the United States need to know what he thinks to make an informed choice as to whether to vote for the dude or not.

Of course, the cynic in me says he's saying this because Dean is making such a splash in the polls by being outspoken against the war, rather than because Kerry really believes it.

But I'd rather him say what he thinks and let me vote based on that rather than having him craft a message that hides what he really thinks and attempt to get votes that way (which is, I'm sure, how it really works with everyone, but dammit, I'm an idealist.... sometimes).

 

I'm not sure what you mean here--- especially the last clause. Can you clarify?

 

re·gime also ré·gime ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-zhm, r-)
n.

A form of government: a fascist regime.
A government in power; administration: suffered under the new regime.
A prevailing social system or pattern.
The period during which a particular administration or system prevails


I guess Kerry is "way smarter" than this writer.

 

Bin Laden started the war of the early twenty first century between civilizations and nihilism. Bush responded with unrelenting retaliation instead of playing victim. Terrorism and totalitarianism would not claim any more meaningful victories after September, 2001. Afghanistan would be the last country they could gain power.

Just like forces of Fascism dragged the US into the Second WW but saw the US push the tide of history in its direction.

 

Well, you could go back for all the Republican apparatchik (nee Rumsfeld and company) and congressman saying the same thing about Clinton when we intervened to stop genocide in Kosovo...
They loved to criticize when they weren't in power but can't seem to stand the heat when they are in the kitchen.

 

There were no Republican protestors. And Clinton did mishandle many humanitarian disasters, Mogadishu, Rwanda, Bosnia...and Kosovo (not that he intervened, but he was too late and paid too little attention up front b/c of the scandal.)
