For a guy who argues for the anti-Bush position so vehemently, you sure come off like a slathering spitting ranting concdescending mental case in a lot of your posts, to the point of being near-rabid in your tone.
If you want to change even a few minds, as I've said before, would it not behoove you to take a more calm, even, sensible, reasoned tone? You know, like an adult? I know this is GFY, but on some threads there are posters of a more mature and intelligent calibre that have the ability to calmly and rationally debate you. Your snide jibbering jabs at every turn are foolish, needless and quite pointless. Are you not capable of coming up with much subtler, cleverer ways of driving home your point while making your opponent look foolish?
There is a glimmer of intelligence there, I can see it from time to time in certain posts you've made in the past, but by golly it is sorely lacking in several of your blatherings on this thread. Truthfully, I think you're scared. Bush could win, and that scares the hell out of you to the point that you will go on the rabid attack on any thread even hinting of having a political undertone. I fear however, that you are killing your own cause.

The minute someone who knows what they're talking about steps up a point to debate, I'll leave the insults at home. Believe it or not a lot of my friends and relatives are conservatives (not many fans of Bush anymore though), and we have polite political conversation all the time. My wife is a college professor and a lot more left wing than I am, we also debate things all the time.
The problem is... theking, 12clicks, "The truth hurts", these are people who don't respond to intellectual conversation. They've been proved wrong in the past quite eloquently and without insult by many people, yet the next day they forget all about the truth and post the same crap. These are people who get their information yelled at them in the form of right wing talk radio, and call it news. Note that I didn't start this thread, but as long as their are brainwashed folks who will continually post the same lies day after day, I will be here to call them on it.
