I heard Dean pick apart Hannity today. It was great. Dean and Clark have sliced up the pukes. I want to argue with the pukes about them being wrong about the war.

1. The patheticness of the democratic party continues.
Dems have been moving right for at least a decade, and while we did have Clinton as pres., we have been losing in congress almost every election, and overall in the last few decades we have had the fewest presidents. And yet the response from dems, both at the top and the bottom, has been to move further right every time we lose. Can anybody believe that al gore saw fit to choose Joe Lieberman as his VP, and still we barely got more votes than chimp, even while we were coming off of one of the most successful presidencies in history. The kerry choice is rather inane because dems are not voting for him because he is liberal, they're voting for him because he's pro-war! This means that in the general elec., all bush has to do is say "massachusettes liberal" and he will have his base sewed up, while many liberals are going to have a hard time voting for a spine-less war-mongering politician like kerry.

3. Kerry's record is as anti-war as they come!
Of course, he'll need a Secretary of Peace.

8. What he voted for was unjust in your opinion, and just in probably 80%+
Not that anything popular is automatically always right, I'm just saying that that proclamtion of yours is not gospel

5. I agree, Bleachers.
The American people have such short memories. Remember how PISSED off we and the entire WORLD were when we attacked Iraq? sheesh. Less than one year later....they don't care that some of these candidates voted for the IWR and the Patriot Act! I am STILL pissed as hell about this illegal war and I won't get over it any time soon. :grr:

6. far beit from me to call myself more objective than you
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 11:01 PM by DaisyUCSB
but there are alot of people who believe, contrary to what you believe, that Dean and Clark aren't any more anti-war on the issue of Iraq than Kerry and Edwards, they all supported Saddam being removed through the UN, and none of them supported unilateral action. I think that alot of the anti-war movement, particularly those in the Dean camp, haven't educated themselves enough about the Congressional Iraq resolution, which by the way, wasn't in any official way called the "iraq war resolution". Without it, we never could have gotten a second UN resolution, one that would have agreed for the UN to remove Saddam, without it, and that would have been a course of action that far, far, more of the American people supported and would support than the already 2 thirds majority that think the course we took was the right thing to do.
