No - I mean the OP says that voters want a president carved from their own image - someone who doesn't read, believes everything they're told, etc.
So I'm asking if that person is a voter and if so, do they read, believe everything they're told, etc.
(Hint: I'm making a comment about generalizations)
yeah but still it made me laugh. cause i have to wonder what kind of country voted this guy in the second time? and i aint laughing at that i can assure you.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Maybe they voted for the lesser of two evils. In other words, didn't have much of an alternative.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
In general, I disagree more with the economic policies and pro-legal abortion stance of the Dems more than I disagree with some of the Republican stances.
I'm not real thrilled with either side, though.

The logic in the 'new rule' was flawed in my opinion, so I pointed it out. End of story. If you don't wanna read my posts then put me on ignore....I couldn't possibly care less.

What concerns me is adults who read 800-page books about magic schoolboys--and then try to talk to me about it. If I had the slightest interest in homosexuals with powers, I'd be a Republican.

THAT'S MY WHOLE POINT... how can you possibly claim that it pleases you to post here? obviously, you follow certain folks around (like me, for instance) who aren;t even talking about your favorite subject and you moan & groan the whole time. is this some sort of masochistic streak you've developed? if everything i post irritates you, why don't you put ME on YOUR ignore list? save us both the effort of these boring back and forths.

Seriously, aren't there enough fucking threads about how screwed up the two-party system is, how dems are actually the anti-christs and the only salvation for us is a three party system? Sweet Jesus, give it a break, folks.
New Rule: Let's try and have some fun sometimes, even if it kills us.
Sweet Potato!
a three-party system? now thats just plain dumb. what is going on is that some of us around here see the urgency in needing to abolish the whole party-system. we want a zero-party system. i mean, why cant we just have one big party?? and keeping with your pace, what could be more fun than one big party?? so, perhaps now you too can see, it is you, the radically-conservative and the ignorantly-liberal traditionalists who are spoiling all the fun of america's revolution back to becoming a state of justice.

If you guys don't think this cycle of perpetual war was what Bush and Co planned on happening then I guess we'll just have to disagree. If anything, it has made his cronies richer by the day.
That isnt what Maher said. He said Bush wasnt behind 9/11. He didnt say he didnt exploit it and sell war to the public based around it. But exploiting something, and being the cause of something, arent the same thing.

Well IMO, Iraq wouldve happened with, or without 9/11. 9/11 wasnt even the primary reason Iraq was sold to us, WMDs were. So I do agree with abook, in that I think this administration was wanting war in Iraq, and the financial reasons certainly dont escape me. However, I dont see why Bush needed 9/11 for that. Other than WW2, we havent been attacked before any major war we were involved in.

My point was that Bill Maher said he couldnt have pulled off 9/11 because it involved 'planning'. I was only saying that's flawed logic because they have planned and carried out plenty of things.

It was a joke. He wasnt going into detail. It was meant to be a little 10-15 second blurb to get a few laughs. You are reading into it way to much.

And? I thought jokes were supposed to make sense.
Anyways, it's a common angle brought up around here to point to why Bush isn't capable of such and such....and I care if it's in a joke or used in a thread, that logic doesn't hold water, so why just ignore it? There's nothing to read too far into here, the basis of that particular joke is a common misconception.

The basis of the joke is that this administration has done little to anything right. So no, the basis of the joke is not a misconception. Unless you think the wars have been a great success and were planned extremely well, then it makes sense. I still think you are trying to draw something out of it, that isnt there.
