Those pictures are just so much political spin that it ain't funny! Funny you would say that, the pictures I was referring to were ones printed up from the internet that some Bushites here on campus have posted on their doors and windows. The caption on them reads something to the effect of, rifle $x, hunting vest $x, etc., flip flopping on gun rights: Priceless. This is a pro-Bush campaign slamming Kerry. I like how that actually ba

Good stuff. I was talking about this stuff in the '90's and was called a conspiracy theorist...

I think PVT. England has become the scapegoat, I'm certain Abu Ghraib goes much higher then one private. I don't think her sex has anything to do with it, however. As for Kerry, there aren't any pictures of him committing acts, and all we have is his voluntary word to congress when congress wasn't attempting to prosecute him in the first place. It is reasonable to suggest that had he been indicted for war crimes, he probably would have cooperated and

Though it seems little more than half are just voting for Kerry because he is not Bush so what is up with that? I think you know, Sho, that the dem. candidate is most likely to have the best shot at defeating the incumbent, so most voters are simply going with the best bet. I know Ralph hasn't made it on the ballot in many states so that already cripples him. Badnarik, I'm certain, is in no better shape.

Actually, this particular gesture is known as the "horned owl". According to David Icke (www.davidicke.com) Bush actually is a pagan at heart and reptilian in nature (but shape-shifts), or possessed by fourth dimensional reptoids controlling him. It is also found that the Bush bloodline ,along with many other worldly dignitaries, can be traced b

Hot Damn! I sure am glad we "liberated the people" and are spending billions of dollars on Iraq. Hey, America, anyone want to march to the White House chanting, "Gimme, our hundreds of billions of dollars back" ?

Yep, as soon as I make a statement about something, it's bound and determined to be wrong the next day! According to many polls today, Bush has got a lead. I don't think that will change the outcome of the actual end - vote, however. Karl Rove is counting on a large Christian conservative vote coupled with gun owners who think Kerry will do something to their guns, and . . . um...well, drmiller a

Mmm, don't give up the ghost right yet, most of the highly trumpeted polls touting Bush pulling ahead have underepresented democrats (one included 38% dems, 45% rep, and the rest indies) another that has made it's rounds in such rags as the local Kansas City Star have included "likely voters" only, which means about nill. Grassroots campaigns following on the heels of the Dean campaign are mobilizing actual voters unlike ever before, at least here in

No! We're not there for oil, we're there to "liberate the people"! *deference wretches in nearby trash can*

Terrorism originating from volatile region X does not delegitimize peaceful efforts to gain sovereignty for volatile region X. ..but it can show a lack of consistancy from a poorly thought out foreign policy. Some of us only asked Bush and his Vulcan cabinet (who have more years of foreign policy experience than any other in the history of U.S. administrations) to grow a brain and be sensible.

Hmm...you can wear bandannas but not skullcaps . What a bunch of malarky. Look guys, I'm not Mr. Muslim Sympathizer, and my point is clear, I'm not confusing France with the U.S. or telling other countries what to do, I've simply stated that it's crap that another democratic society is doing something the majority of the U.S. would find egregiously limiting. I don't know why any would have a problem with that opinion beside th

Quite frankly, I don't care who you elect. Elect Arnie if you want. Just as long as it ain't Bush. Here! Here! OK, lets just let them become another dictatorship or Fundamentalist State. That's what they were before, that's what they will be unless we stay there and indoctrine them for many years. We can't afford to continue to spend money in Iraq, as you know, so let us cut our losses on this whole poorly conc

Love him or hate him, the reason that Bush will win is that the economy is doing well Hmm...I would say that the economy is not doing so well, but that most people are too busy working their tails off or being distracted by Iraq or 527 groups to notice the slump.. and Kerry has not given any good reason to vote for him. He has failed in mobilizing or exiting Democrats, right now, the Democratic base is running

This is a good show of how the U.S. might display it's unhappiness with another country's decisions regarding such things as religious freedom, and these guys aren't a democracy: The State Department said Wednesday that Saudi Arabia has engaged in "particularly severe violations" of religious freedom and for the first time included the kingdom, a key U.S. ally, on a list of countries that could be subject to sanctions.

Both the U.S. and the French have constitutions and a seperation of powers, we share many of the same practices in our governments, it is reasonable to presume we have some of the same ideological taproot from which these structures stem. In regards to the idea that there should be no impact on one country from another's policies, it is seen as desirable only in some circumstances. Foreign policy, world trade, or leading by example, for ins

Just my opinion buddy. And you believe it to be simply their headache with no bearing on the outside world. Correct? Well, I've kind'a got this radical idea that somehow, not quite sure, maybe it's geographic or political, hell, maybe even socially possible, that France and the U.S. are connected (as well as other countries) and that we are effected by what the other does. Maybe it is in our sharing of technology, words that somehow eke t

Instead of dealing with this, I'm sure the Bush Admin will attempt to quietly bury this and shuttle it to the background as they have done with N. Korea all the while claiming us to be kicking tail in Iraq while American beer swillers knock back another and claim Bush the best guy they never knew since he's, "doin' somethin' 'bout the terrorists". Will somebody just poke out my eyes and ear drums so I can live like the others, in peace and ign
