They are all opportunistic crooks. I find it hard to believe that you all
buy one brand of bullshit and reject the others. Bullshit smells the
same, and, yes, it makes the flowers grow. But only for the approved
flower vendors. The ones with the current license to exploit your ass.

I expected this from Turd, but...et tu, Gnome?

Let' just take a look at this:  Dems bad, GOP worse.

Let's vote for worse, because bad isn't perfect.  Okay.

Fuck it, it's hopeless.  When even discordians start sucking Bush's cock, it's all over.

Subverting the democratic process, Kent State, his interesting anti-Semetic conversations with Billy Graham in the oval office, enthusiastic participation in HUAC, etc.

He was a monster.  I hope they remembered to put a stake through his heart before they buried him.

the problem with your logic is the assumption that the Dems are better than the Conservatards...but why would you make that assumption? they're bought and paid for by the same people...they just couch their agenda in terms you find more palatable, but really they're all the same, and that was kinda my point when people started attacking me for defending Nixon while shitting on Hillary...and truth is, Hillary is about as crooked as they come, more so than even many of the GOP crooks...what I'm trying ot say is that basing your opinion of a politician on whether a (D) or an (R) appears next to their name is just stupid...your opinions should be based on the actions and voting record of that particular individual, because ideologically, there is just as much difference within the parties as there is between them...blindly parroting the party line, whichever party it happens to be, just lowers you to the level of all the other couch-bound, reality TV-addicted, McShitburger-engorged Sheeple who get their informed opinions from 30-second soundbites...

Face it:  you get two choices - that may seem very similar, but not identical.

YOU choose, Gnome.  You really think the Dems are as anti-freedom as is the GOP?

we're not talking about his beliefs, his intentions, or his motives...we're speaking strictly of what he accomplished while in office. C'mon, Rog, I expect more intelligence out of you.

One sent my friend to Iraq.  One didn't.  Do the math.

Again, bad vs worse.  You choose.

A punch in the nuts, or a baseball bat to the nuts.  You choose.

...That is, if you can stop trying to look all sophisticated and jaded long enough to decide.

They are not bought and paid for by the same people. They are bought
and paid for by different divisions of the same people. They get their
payoffs from different corporate entities. That makes all the difference.

I am certainly glad we have voting records to tell us which politician
is telling us what we want to hear so we can vote for the one that
reads the focus group data that most closely matches our current
parroting of political slogans we have most recently assimulated.

I do not vote for people based on whether or not they have a (D) or a
(R) after their name. I vote for the one with the most attractive avatar!
That's why I voted for Bella!

And I don't get my informed opinions from 30 second soundbites. I
demand nothing less than 38 second soundbites!

1.  Um, with the exception of HUAC, all the things I mentioned were WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE.  Now, his environmental/OSHA record isn't too bad, but the China thing?  Yeah, that worked out. :lol:

2.  Fuck off.  This conversation is over.

withdrawn from Iraq during his term of office?

Bush = IS fucking us.
