    First, I am absolutely convinced that bama's a liberal, engaged in that strategy that someone recently quoted Nietzsche on when he said the best argument for something was horrible arguments against it.

    Regardless of that though, he's positively stomping Jorge as the funniest poster on the board. No wonder Jorge is getting desperate. Without comedy, what's he got?

    ?

    You make it seem as if I noticed that "things start looking bad for Bush" and then came here to post in this thread.

    Aren't you missing something?

    The news about Kerry?

    The sickening dismissal of scumbag behavior by liberals?

    I didn't come here to post in response to anything Bush related. I came here to post about Kerry, and then something RM said caught my eye.

    Stop reaching Sam. If anything, stop posting more. You just invite people to laugh at how Trader PWN3D you in just about every thread you two argue in.

    Nomar: a word of advice, next time you're searching for a good comeback after being accused of acting like a 3rd Grader, try to avoid using the phrase "PWN3D" "OWN3D" "PWNED" or any variant thereof as it tends to undercut your point.

    You're welcome.

    SF.

    :)

    Actually no, it isn't.

    An Air Force pilot is actually the hardest thing in the military to do.

    They are the top 0.000001% of soldiers in the world.

    Really? So given the choice between flying a jet in peacetime in Texas and getting shot at by Viet Cong in the middle of a jungle, you'd choose the latter as a more desirable, safer alternative?

    You're a true patriot.

    I'm going to break this down for you Sammy.

    What I posted. "If anything, stop posting more. You just invite people to laugh at how Trader PWN3D you in just about every thread you two argue in."

    Analysis:

    MY COMEBACK -

    A) You should stop posting as much.

    1) Reason: To prevent people from laughing at you, saying that Trader PWN3D you.

    Analysis of what you posted:

    A) I should not use phrases such as "PWN3D" to come back from statements that I am immature.

    1) Reason: It undercuts my point, because using PWN3D myself makes me seem just as immature as you originally stated.


    MY COUNTERARGUMENT-

    I was not using "PWN3D" in that post as something I said to you. I was using it as something other people had said. Therefore, in that comeback, using it was not evidenciary of my being immature.


    CASE CLOSED

    your right, Air Force pilot is a tough tough job, I admire each one of them

    Bush wasn't an Air Force pilot though, he was a semi- Texas Guard pilot who had his flight status revolked for missing physicals.

    While Clinton disgraced himself, his family, and the office of President, you might want to read a little more history before making the above claim. Nixon had to resign or he would have been booted out. Reagan with his little Iran Contra two step should have been impeached and booted out. (And for all of you keeping score at home, Reagan also lied under oath, which is the worst thing Clinton ever got charged with.)

    a friendly reminder to the right:

    John Forbes Kerry, as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committe in 1986 was a leader in the investigation of the whole Reagan administration and its ties to money laundering, drug running and the Contras down in Central America. Kerry was willing for years to face down the CIA, the Justice Department and narco-terrorists in pursuing the dirty dealings of the Reagan-North network of rightwing drug-linked paramilitaries.

    Kerry went after Oliver North more than a year before Iran-contra broke, exposing the connection between the U.S.-supported Nicaraguan contras and drug trafficking. And when Arthur Liman, the chief counsel of the Iran-Contra Committee, agreed to a White House demand that the committee be permitted to see only edited portions of North's diaries, Kerry refused to go along with the whitewash and persuaded the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to subpoena the North diaries. This did not endear him to his colleagues, who above everything were eager to avoid impeaching Ronald Reagan.

    This is rumor, so it's fine if we disregard it, but it's widely rumored that George Bush Sr. has had one mistress for a long time. The rumor is that he's being going out with her for years and that it's fairly widely known amongst political movers and shakers.

    It's just rumor, similar to the John Kerry thing, but if it came out as fact I don't think it would change how good or bad Bush 1 was as president.

    On the otherhand I do understand how having someone in the whitehouse who's a known adulterer might not be the best from the country's morale standpoint.

    In a half serious way I wish we had a monarch to handle that aspect of the govt. Someone who was a great character, and could be held up for morale, and civic pride and all that. Meanwhile we could have a prime minister who could be like Clinton that was just plain effective, and knowledgable as a leader.

    I like how my words were twisted around. I said candidate not president.

    But if you're going to change the subject Reagan led to more Americans getting killed by terrorists than any other President until the Bushies came along. Prolly cause Ronnie liked creating and *funding* them. I love how Ronnie lovers claim he was the only one who opposed the Soviet Union when it was official American policy since the end of World War 2. Talk about revisionist history buffs.

    For starters...

    Osama Bin Laden was recruited, trained, and funded under the Reagan Administration's National Security Decision Directive, which launched the largest US covert operation in US history. Using Pakistan as a go-between, the CIA funneled an estimated $6 billion to the Mujahideen. The objective: drive out the Soviet invasion forces using a proxy army and destabilize the then pro-Soviet Afghan government. Following the Soviet retreat, the Mujahideen fought amongst themselves until the fundamentalist Taliban rose to power, binding the civilian population under one of the most repressive regimes ever seen. (Sources: www.globalresearch.ca, and Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Super Power, by William Blum)

    and

    Beginning in 1983, during the Iran-Iraq War, Saddam Hussein was befriended by the Reagan Administration in its attempts to destabilize Iran and the entire region. Iraq was given tremendous US military aid; including biological weapons strains and chemical agents for weapons such as Sarin nerve gas, the stockpiles of which were destroyed by UNSCOM weapons inspection teams by 1994.

    The Afghanistan part holds my interest.

    There was enough <i>activity</i> by both Democrats & Republicans over the years with Afghanistan that it shouldn't be painted as a strictly Republican affair.

    That's right BJ. Don't even bother to argue with the substance of my remarks. Face it, you guys are going down in November and I'm going to enjoy rubbing it in when it happens.

    I'd say that Nixon was as corrupt or less than Clinton, but a roaring economy thanks to the dot.com boom had Bill's back. With his poll numbers remaining high, there was no political capital to remove him for perjury and investigate further the allegations of campaign donations from unfriendly foreign govts (Chicoms). The Republicans showed during impeachment why they are a bunch of spineless, weasel cowards in not doggedly getting Clinton thrown out of office.
