ok guys all this political crap is bringing me down. can we just get back to talking about boats, fishing, supermodels, and how old REEL, willy, and Franco are?

[Blue_Runner]

Reel is so old, his back goes out more than he does.

Franco is so old, when he orders a 3-minute egg they ask for the money up front.

Willy's so old when he walks by a graveyard, guys come running after him with shovels.

BC -

What has he [Bush] done??

That is a good question. Let me know when you figure it out. Maybe his approval ratings have been grossly miscalculated by a bunch of college morons.

Why don't you name 2 positive things he has done.

Also if you don't mind me askin - what exactly is your gripe with early voting?

First of all, thanks for paraphrasing me...I WILL answer your question though.

He has cut taxes for EVERYONE, including the "poor." President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax relief fueled economic growth and reduced the marginal rate for every income tax bracket. By the end of last year, Americans would have paid an additional $1.3 trillion in taxes had it not been for the President's tax relief. If the President's tax relief is allowed to expire at the end of 2010, Americans will pay about $280 billion more in taxes each year. With the largest tax increase in history looming, Congress should make the President's tax relief permanent. On January 28, 2008 during his State of the Union address, President Bush asked Congress to support a new $300 million "Pell Grants for Kids" scholarship program to help poor children reach their full potential.

So again, I ask, what do you think he has done so bad??

And I just do not agree with early voting. Election DAY, not election MONTH.

Wow....do you even realize how racist THIS statement is??

bc, it strikes me that you didn't really have an answer to Blue's question about naming 2 things Bush has done. Consequently you went to the whitehouse site and quoted it verbatim.

[bcmarinamanager]

first of Sarah Palin already has commander-in-chief experience as governor of Alaska. Obama has been a community organizer.... oooooooo! He's never been a leader.....of anything....period! Secondly, No crap, I copied and pasted it, big deal, if you wanted me to say it my own words you should have asked. And last of all, you sir have NOT answered my question yet.... are you still trying to find something??? I guess I'll be waiting a REALLLLLLY long time for that answer.


Oh, and one more thing, try looking up the Webster's definiton of racist. He didn't say that his race was better, and Islam is not a race, it's just a religion. Sooooo that can hardly be a racist question. Now, what was I saying earlier about college morons???? Answer me how his question was racist???

I'll give you one of Bush's atta boys. He went into Afghanistan after 9/11 but he never got Bin Laden. He should have asked McCain how to get him and I hope Obama asks John how to get him. Then Bush had an aw Shi- and it wiped out his atta boy. he went into Irac to get the guy that tried to get his Daddy. He lied to us. Billy Mac

Racism is the word that was used so I used the same word. Technically prejudice would be a batter choice of word. Referring to someone as a lying racist muslim is a derogatory prejudice thing to say. It is all about the context. If you believe he is a liar, fine. A racist fine....but when you add Muslim to it......oh and when did Obama become Muslim again?...it becomes a prejudice statement. To use another example, to refer to a person as a J ew is fine on it's own as this is the proper term for some who practices Judaism. But to call someone a cheap J ew or similar it is used in a derogatory fashion. The intent is clear.

My point about the website quote was not that you didn't use your own words but when asked what good things Bush had done you didn't know any so you had to go looking.

I didn't realize I was supposed to be answering a question but if you want to know what Bush has done wrong ask any of the 80% of the country who disapprove of the job he has done. If you really want an answer from me let's start with the nearly $600 billion spent in Iraq so far. Really I shouldn't have to go any further than that. All the talk of national security but what happened to Osama bin Laden and al Queda? Oh yeah, the Bush administration got sidetracked in Iraq. Was it Iraq who attacked the US on 9/11? Next is the disaster that is disaster relief. The Bush administration failed badly after Hurricane Katrina. He cut funding for renewable energy research, ignored global warming issues and increased the national debt to a staggering amount. I know, it's all Clinton's fault, right?

I would not have a serious issue with John McCain being elected President (and I certainly wouldn't be going around slandering him) but I would have a serious issue with Sarah Palin. Commander-in-chief experience??? Is she in charge of the Alaskan army? She governs one of the least populated states in the country but she is no commander-in-chief. Did you watch any of her interviews? Really? You'd be OK with her as President if McCain could not serve? The US would be a laughing stock. Picking Palin was a mistake...with Mitt Romney McCain might have won.

I'm all for healthy debate over the candidates and issues but most of what I have read is slanderous derogatory statements including "baby killer", "morons" and "lying racist Muslim". I will have nothing more to say on the matter after this. Feel free to have the last word...
