from article:

Bush dismissed demands from Sheehan and others to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq. "I think immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake," he said. "I think those who advocate immediate withdrawal from not only Iraq but the Middle East are advocating a policy that would weaken the United States."

That man is digging Americas grave

"I appreciate her right to protest. I understand her anguish," Bush said Tuesday. "I met with a lot of families. She doesn't represent the view of a lot of the families I have met with. And I'll continue to meet with families."

Hes NOT saying that. . .he's saying the POSITION she is advocating - not her mugging for the camera - is what would harm American interests.

I think that protestors weaken morale. Our troops are over there and if we aren't fully behind them, they know that and it weakens them.

It's just like the Democrats, they can't unify behind anything, and that weakens them and that's why they lost the election. They all want something different and won't compromise for their own good.

They lost the election because guys like you will never vote for another party even if your party fucks up royally.

It is the same way in Canada...Liberals can take all our money and we'll still vote them in...but at least your Democrats are better than our conservatives.

You're a very confused young man rewritting history -

Even IF this were true - only 1/3 of the population voted. . .which means that there were 2/3'rds of the population that the deomcratic leadership in this country could have reached out to and get motivated to vote - but they didnt.

That speaks volumes.

That and Republicans simply had the better candidate.

No, even more people came out to vote for Bush this past election than the one before that.

How old are you?

Merlin122 · 08-25-2005, 07:32 PM

the election was bullshit anyway. Both candidates sucked. Both candidates should have lost to another partie. But since people didn't want to look for a better candidate, they went for the ones at hand.
