i really don't think you need to say much else other then "iraq"

in my opinion, it's those of you who still supported him AFTER iraq that need to come up with some better reasoning.

let's face it, do you need a reason to like or dislike someone? Do you have clear cut reasons as to why you may dislike some people in this world, but like others? There doesn't need to be a reason for everything, if you dislike the man then you dislike him, no big deal, and the same goes if you like him. You may have reasons and that's fine, or you may not and that's fine too, it's just a matter of personal preference.

umm and just out of curiosity, do you two (the brothers) ever post anything about the band?

that's what I thought...

And you don't need a reason for emotions. if you dislike him then that's great, good for you, if you like him then hey that's great as well. And I'm sure people could easily come of with reasons, heck just by saying he's a republican and your a democrat is good enough, or even more you could just say you don't like politicians.

but there must be a reason, even if it is "i don't like politicians"

humans are reasonable. there's always a reason. nothing ever "just is"

Ever since their album with Machinehead and Glycerine, they've just gone down hill. That's why I hate bush.

Well, compared to what bush joke I thought you would make, this one seems a lot more timid.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I hate bush for many reasons. Well i hate the Government all together, but bush especially. I couldn't live my life respecting someone that thinks with his wallet and not with his heart.<-said due to lack of a better phrase...I'm saying that George Bush inforced war on Iraq because of fictional reasons (obviously the weapons of mass destruction) and lets think about this..where are major oil reserves?? Afganistan..CHECK...Iraq..CHECK.. Iran..we'll see..if he forces war on these three places he will then have a direct oil line to the Caspian Sea. As we speak a man put in power by the United States is distributing Iraq's oil. George Bush stated to the USA in saying that Iraq could trigger their weapons of mass destruction in 24 hours..which he later ADMITTED was a lie. He forces lies on the innocent public and imbedes lies in their heads. He wants the public to panic therefore gaining a revenge/get them before they get us attitude. These are just SOME reasons.. plz dont even get me started on all the fishyness of the election itself..or other theories..about what Dubya and his buddies are up to in the white house.

I would also like to state that the US government put Saddam Hussain in power. ALSO that George bush has ties with Osama Bin Ladin and trained his men. (most of you probably already knew that anyways)

I agree, he seems focused on his own selfish goals, and will stop at nothing to accomplish them. He's arrogant and seems to think that some kind of divine right is given to him by God. And then there's the fact that he isnt suited to being a president, he's just plain incompetant.

But I gotta say, now that I've seen Bush running the country, I am impressed by the stability of the US as a whole, it has very strong foundations. If the government were any weaker (allowing the president more power) I'm sure the country would be going to hell fast, but you know, it shows that even with a madman behind the wheel, its still nice that although condiitons are getting worse (economy etc.), its still a stable system.

Which leads into the next subject...if Bush wins the next election, I'm pretty sure he'll screw the country and the world royally. We're practically guaranteed a handful more wars, with countless lives being wasted for some stupid petty reason, coupled with the fact that the man has no idea how to run the country... I mean a stable system can only take so much ya know?

OK, Bush will be re-elected. He will start a war soon enough before the election, and as history has it, you don't elect someone else from a different party during a war.

I wouldn't like anyone in office. I trust in anarchy.

That's the other problem, I haven't yet seen another candidate that I am willing to vote for. Either way we're gonna get screwed, the question is who will screw us less?

Have they found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq yet?

And when they find them, can they destroy Massachusetts as well?

Texas Rangers - before bush - playoff bound baseball team
post bush - overpriced losers

Texas - before bush - some problems, nothing major
post bush - 9 billion dollar shortfall.

he's got a bad history when it comes to being the head of something. Taxes paid by rich people are alot more then the poor. so at the same time when a refund comes around, it's only natural that the rich get a bigger chunk since they pay bigger chunks of taxes.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
