I have to agree, Put, you're right

Say tellmenotruth, to your "Bush lied" theory, who said;

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security."

I have noticed that Put makes the most assinine statements and the forum generally agrees that he is an idiot.  Then he makes the most assinine statement ever and the forum tends to agree.

At least Put is consistent.  The rest of you pretend to be balanced and then Put exposes you for extremists idiots that you are.

Put's like the proverbial broken clock. OTOH, your belief that anyone could possibly be wrong on everything calls for some recalibration. Either that, or you could come out from behind the oh-yeah-well-Put-agrees-with-you-and-therefore-you’re-wrong costume and take issue with specifics.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

   Bush went out on a limb and the limb broke. I had hoped for his sake that there was some WMD's over there. He put alot out there basing an invasion of another country on assumptions. Here we are a few years down the road and still have not justified as to why we are over there in the first place. I am just glad that he can only be in office for a few more years. I hope he doesn't get any other hair brained ideas in the mean time. Someone is going to have to come along and clean up his mess, just like Clinton had to do with his daddy!

What’s even better than the fact that President Bush can only serve
three more years is that fools like you are in such a minority that
your ilk will be extinct within a generation.



It’s all about red states and blue states and states are becoming more red as younger people mature and begin to think.



What was it Churchill–or somebody said?  "When I was young I was
liberal to prove to myself that I had a heart, but as I matured I
became a conservative to prove to myself that I have a brain."



I recently had the pleasure of buying dinner for a young couple. 
The conversation turned to politics as it will when I’m around and the
young woman had a great point.



She said, "What drives me crazy with my idiotic friends is their
politics.  I tell them that I"m a Republican and they all act like
I said I was a child molester.  So, I ask why they dont’ consider
themselves to be a Republican too since they have jobs, are not gay or
on welfare and they say the dumbest things…like, “Well, I’m not for
the war in Iraq” or “Well, I’m against poverty” as if I am for war and
poverty!"



It would be fun to read what some of the nimrods who vote for Democrats
think they stand for that somebody like that young woman does not.

When you all meet at the “Apartment-Hotel” later this month, perhaps
after a rousing round of boondocking (tiddlywinks talk) and exchanging
advice on rules of thumb and forefinger (more winx talk), you could
muster the bravery to call for transforming the Put-pal-pad into a
Gotham’s Bohemian Grove-like Shaneg-ri-la. You could all take turns
playing the part of that young, young,  pointedly memorable woman,
and her likely responses to differing positions. Gee, wouldn’t that be
the funnest fun-time spent, ever, moving your groove-things.

That’s encrypted Put-code for "our PM’s have been compromised."



Case management would call for a predetermined back up meeting location
in situations like this. Putsy, will now use all his training in
counter(coffee-shop)surveillance("why’s does that old guy keeping
looking at me mom?) trade-craft and an assortment of cut-outs and drops
necessary to  protect the identity of his innner circle of
admirers. Good show, chap.

Put,

  You think most young people would vote Republican? Only if...

A) It was in our parents best interest.

B) The Preacher (AKA Snake Handler) at church claims you are headed to hell if you vote Democrat

C) Did not get an education.

 If you think that young people are going to magically turn blue states into red states, that just shows your age. As old conservative farts, such as yourself age and move on, it opens the doors for young thinkers who actually care about other people, the deficit and how the rest of the world perceives us.

When I was your age I voted for John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.  It was not until I turned thirty that I began to realize that what I believed did not make sense.

Tell me, how do you suppose somebody like me does not "care about other people?"  What do you propose to do to demonstrate your care for others?

Care about the deficit? OK, how are you going to bring it down--cut spending or increase taxes?

What in the world do you know about the way the world percieves the United States?  What do you have to draw on, observations that go all the way back to February?

Let me tell you something, child, the United States is thought of the exact same way today as the United States was thought of five years ago, ten years ago, fifteen years ago and so forth.

Who cares about what the world perceives? That's the lamest line of thinking I've ever heard. Talk about shallow!

"We'd better do this so we are respected by the bosche and the frogs!"

What hogwash. Or frogwash.

If you care so much, give your own time and money. That's charity. Nothing wrong with that.

If you care, but want me to pay for it, that's not charity, that's liberalism, which is a fancy name for wack job communism and egalitarian socialism. Marx would be proud of ya.

Since Putsy was born (before V,D Day? whichever) the Democratic Party
representation at the state gubernatorial and federal level (all three
branches) have been in a steady decline.



It’s becoming more then just a game to catch the hearts of some swing
voters with some good eyeballs and sound-bites in the final minutes.
For the last 25 years the Dems have lost 8% of their base, compared to
2% for the GOP. During the same years the swing voters have increased
from 16% to 25%. Simple math. Troubling 1% reality for the Dems.



With the possibility of not one, but instead two, Supreme Court
Justices in play…the chances of legislating powers via the courts
seems limited.



Unifying the base of the Dem Party will only get more confusing. Do you
think Howard Dean was brought into the party to stump for gay marraige?
I’d like to see the legs of the party platform in March of 2K8. 

Jul 11, 2005 8:28 pm

Howard Dean is there so that Hillary Clinton seems sane and moderate by comparision.



Regardless, the party is on its way to the trash heap of history, like
the Whigs.  What they have as their core beliefs does not make
sense–nothing, but nothing, makes sense.



As for the Court.  President Bush will be in office unitil January
2009–there’s a better than even chance that he not only will replace
Justices O’Connor and Rehnquist, but also Justices Kennedy and Ginsburg.



That would leave a court with four W appointees, plus Justices Thomas
and Scalia.  Under such a court, coupled with a conservative House
and Senate the country can be reclaimed by the decent people.



The glass is certainly more than half full–and the GOP victory last
November is looming as one of the largest historical events in the last
fifty years.



The whiners took over in 1932 and held the House until 1994.  It
is going to take sixty years or so to undo the damage they caused.



How’s this for an original idea.



I will take care of myself and my family, and you take care of yourself and your family and we can trash Social Security.



Why in the world are yo willing to pay for my retirement?

Brass is cheap. It’s the cost of the those briefs that has me worried.
I can almost hear Brookie  “Do you know what the costs of caring
for an adult are these days. Diapers, formula, dsl, batterries for his
toys, adult daycare, and the way he mixes his meds since the med sup
kicked in, well -he’s hornier then a bichon habanero on 24 hour shore
leave. And he keeps saying , Come here my little Dolcinea, P-daddy has
some candy for you.”

Wow, that was really insightful.  The power and logic of your arguments has persuaded me to become a Democrat, support gay marriage, march for abortions, shred the Constitution and give away all your money to the next worthless bum I see on the streets.  I'm impressed.

  Not very original. Bush beat you to it. I can see why you vote Republican.

But, chiild, what is wrong with that idea?  Surely your not saying that you should take care of me because I am incapable of taking care of myself, are you?

Or, alternatively, are you saying that you are incapable of taking care of yourself so you need me to take care of you.

Oh wait, I get it.  You think you should take care of that guy over there--but with my money.  You want to stick your hand into my pocket, dig down there and grab a few dollars than then go over to that guy over there and give him my money.

"Here, poor soul, I want you to have this."

You will feel all warm and fuzzy and the object of your affection will go buy himself a bottle of Mogen David.

You both benefited without having to do a thing.

Great idea until you grow up and become the person whose pocket is being picked.

There are only two types of forty year old people who think like you do.  Abject failures--who get the money, and the super wealthy who have so much that even if they give away 90% of what they have they still have more than you and I will ever have, combined.

Nobody in between can justify being anything other than politically conservative.

 Put,

  I am the last person that would hand my change to a bum like you camped outside of a liquor store begging for change. I would hand you a Mcdonalds application, and tell you that I have to work for my money, so should you. I just would rather my tax dollars, which someone took out of my pocket, to go to something worth while. Spending billions on invading other countries when we have people that can't even get by sounds pretty stupid to me. If you are so opposed to getting taxed to help other people, then why would you support Bush? He is taking our tax dollars and supposably helping the poor Iraqi people, that could not make it without our help. Or at least thats how he has spun it so far.
