      Clinton tried to kill bin laden, and the republicans accused him of trying to distract the american people from their fake impeachment scandal that they wanted the headlines to be about. Check it.

          Dude, pick a sports team, any sport you want, this is just stupid...

          A man should be judged by his action, not what political party he happens to be a part of. Please tell me do you really thing Bush's positive actions out weight his negative actions?

          if so then you must have a very dísturbed view of the world!
          Weigh the positives and negatives, and vote for who oever exept Bush, he has done nothing to deserve another term.


          And remember, you can change your religion and political party, but you can't change your football team!

              what did CLINTON do after Al Queda bombed the Towers in 93? Or after they bombed several different US Embassys over seas or the USS Cole (is that right, not 100% positive on the name)

              not a damn thing...... like i said before.

                    Bush: 50,456,002 or 47.87%

                    Gore: 50,999,897 or 48.38%

                    So why are people surprised that theres alot of people who want Bush out? Damn.

                            weren't the people that bombed the trade centers caught, tried and found guilty?

                            And the investigation into the uss cole bombing wasn't completed until after Clinton left office. What did Bush do?

                                Bush is not a Republican. He's more akin to a soft dictator. Let's try the alternative.

                                And about Clinton being weak on terror. Do you have any idea how many attacks his administration thwarted while he was in office? Plenty.

                                          Hmmm.

                                          What exactly did Reagan do after Hezbollah bombed the Marine barracks in 1983, which killed 241 Marines? Did he attack and dismantle Hezbollah? No. Did he invade Iran (who is the biggest backer of Hezbollah)? No. What we did was pull the Marines out of Beirut. In fact, no one has ever been held accountable for that attack, or the subsequent kidnapping, torture and eventual murder of a CIA station chief assigned the area, either.

                                          Why not? Well, for one thing, any military action was not likely to be supported by the American people, who really didn't give a damn about Islamic terrorism or what was going on in the Middle East at the time. Clinton faced a similar problem when he was president; realistically, how many voters do you think would have supported a full scale invasion of Afghanistan pre-9/11? For that matter, how many of our allies would have? And I think you could forget about having the cooperation of Pakistan or any of the other nearby "Stans" as staging points for an operation.

                                          If you want to know the REAL reason why all American presidents from FDR forward don't delve too far into the realities of Islamic terrorism, though, and the REAL reason why the Saudis are pretty much free to give as much money as they wish to any terrorist group, without any kind of reprisal at all from the US, read a book called "Sleeping With The Devil" by ex-CIA agent Robert Baer..... that book will make your stomach turn, and it will make you think that it doesn't matter who is president when it comes to the war on terror, 'cause the real problem will never, ever, be addressed.

                                          IMO, the bottom line is this - the war on terror will not end until our dependence on Saudi oil does. As it stands now, we are caught in a horrible Catch 22; on the one hand, we want to fight terror, on the other, the global economy cannot survive without a continued relationship with the world's leading financiers of terror.

                                          There's a lot of history to all this folks... it goes way, way beyond the Clinton years. George W wasn't even born yet when the problem's seeds were sewn.

                                                So you think what someone else does in their own home directly harms you in any way? Bullshit! They are human beings and they deserve every single right that anyone else has.

                                                I hope you don't DARE call yourself an American because anyone who feels that way has NO FUCKING RIGHT WHATSOEVER to do so. EVERYONE, gay, straight, black, white, it doesn't matter... EVERYONE has the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and everyone is guaranteed equal rights. Our whole constitution, the basis for what makes our country great, is geared to PRESERVING rights, not denying them. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't deserve citizenship.

                                                If they're not directly harming you, then why not let them be? Would you have people take away YOUR right to view and produce porn just because THEY believe it's morally wrong or digusting? I THOUGHT NOT! If they lose their rights to the moral majority, who's next?

                                                    By the way, for those of you whining about the deal with Kerry and the boy in Vietnam, the man who signed the affidavit that made the claim that he saw Kerry shoot and unarmed viet cong teen in a loin cloth said ON TELEVISION in the 90s that he was brave and a hero and that he shot an armed enemy. This is CLEARLY republican propoganda because he certainly has changed his story from the one he told a few years ago.

                                                      It would be humorous if Bush did win re-election and the adult industry was shut down as a result. Those supporting Bush now would be the first ones crying while waiting in line at the food bank when there is no more Topbucks or Adult.com to pay them.

                                                      Invariably unable to find another tech job because all of those are overseas, they would attend demonstrations opposing the party and would be physically beat down by police and then imprisoned for supporting terror. Maybe they would finally understand what we were saying all along. Maybe not. Maybe they'd say it was all worth it. After all, Saddam is gone now.

                                                              And about Clinton being weak on terror. Do you have any idea how many attacks his administration thwarted while he was in office? Plenty.

                                                                                  its ELECTORAL VOTES that count. hell, technically bush could have had 1% of the popular vote and still won. our votes are only a suggestion.
                                                                                  Not sure who "you guys" are.. But you made my point exactly
                                                                                  Point is, it's not surprising that alot of *people* want Bush out. Most of the people didnt vote for him.
                                                                                  My post was in response to another post that wondered why, with so many anti-bush people, did bush win. So I pointed out the reson why it shouldnt be a surprise.

                                                                                  I hope I dont need to put, "I'm not a democrat, but I'm against Bush" in my sig space..

In retrospect it seems like it was a good thing, if only more were as 'obsessed' about it as he had been.

Those supporting Bush now would be the first ones crying while waiting in line at the food bank when there is no more Topbucks or Adult.com to pay them.

                                                                                      Invariably unable to find another tech job because all of those are overseas, they would attend demonstrations opposing the party and would be physically beat down by police and then imprisoned for supporting terror. Maybe they would finally understand what we were saying all along. Maybe not. Maybe they'd say it was all worth it. After all, Saddam is gone now.
                                                                                      You people are way way way too paranoid!!!!! The adult industry is going nowhere. It is impossible for any President to rid the American People of porn. The President doesn't make law, he is an executive he is not a legislator. The way the constitution is written makes it impossible for the President to take away our right to watch consenting adults fuck the shit out of each other. Now congress can if the people make them take it away. But I seriously doubt you could get enough people together in this country who do not like porn.

Those supporting Bush now would be the first ones crying while waiting in line at the food bank when there is no more Topbucks or Adult.com to pay them.

Maybe they would finally understand what we were saying all along. Maybe not. Maybe they'd say it was all worth it. After all, Saddam is gone now.

They can fuck us over just as easily as republicans. They might not put us in jail, but they can get us in other ways -- LIKE TAXING THE FUCK OUT OF US to the point where we all just leave the industry because we can't make any money.

It is impossible for any President to rid the American People of porn. The President doesn't make law, he is an executive he is not a legislator. The way the constitution is written makes it impossible for the President to take away our right to watch consenting adults fuck the shit out of each other. Now congress can if the people make them take it away. But I seriously doubt you could get enough people together in this country who do not like porn.
                                                                                                  Loryn, I agree that porn is a mainstay in one form or another. I overstated about it disappearing and getting beat down for effect. But it's one thing for the adult industry to be gone completely (will never happen) and creating a situation where only the major players in adult are the ones left operating (those that can afford to weasel around the laws). I've heard the statement that 'those who simply 'adapt' will be successful but that's not true under all conditions.

                                                                                                  The point about the President not writing law, that's true. The Constitution however has been thrown out the window on a variety of other issues, what's to say it won't be on this issue? In order to go to war Congress has to formally declare war. This hasn't happened to date yet we're in Iraq where we've removed their 'leader' and are still 'at war' there. There are ongoing issues about civil liberties under attack by the Patriot Act. Upholding the words written in the Constitution has been given short shrift.

                                                                                                  If it turns out that I'm just paranoid (I hope), I will take you out for dinner and tell you how much of a jackass I was and we can laugh about it. If I'm right, you better be beside me trying to remove this administration next election

                                                                                                    What exactly did Reagan do after Hezbollah bombed the Marine barracks in 1983, which killed 241 Marines? Did he attack and dismantle Hezbollah? No. Did he invade Iran (who is the biggest backer of Hezbollah)? No. What we did was pull the Marines out of Beirut. In fact, no one has ever been held accountable for that attack, or the subsequent kidnapping, torture and eventual murder of a CIA station chief assigned the area, either.

                                                                                                    Why not? Well, for one thing, any military action was not likely to be supported by the American people, who really didn't give a damn about Islamic terrorism or what was going on in the Middle East at the time. Clinton faced a similar problem when he was president; realistically, how many voters do you think would have supported a full scale invasion of Afghanistan pre-9/11? For that matter, how many of our allies would have? And I think you could forget about having the cooperation of Pakistan or any of the other nearby "Stans" as staging points for an operation.

                                                                                                    If you want to know the REAL reason why all American presidents from FDR forward don't delve too far into the realities of Islamic terrorism, though, and the REAL reason why the Saudis are pretty much free to give as much money as they wish to any terrorist group, without any kind of reprisal at all from the US, read a book called "Sleeping With The Devil" by ex-CIA agent Robert Baer..... that book will make your stomach turn, and it will make you think that it doesn't matter who is president when it comes to the war on terror, 'cause the real problem will never, ever, be addressed.

As it stands now, we are caught in a horrible Catch 22; on the one hand, we want to fight terror, on the other, the global economy cannot survive without a continued relationship with the world's leading financiers of terror.
