Would that be the same type of "slam dunk" like Nukes in Iraq?

Ask me in November.:)

The fear I have of McCain is that he's said in the past that he would continue President Bush's political tactics, which is something that I'm instantly against. Look at everything the man's done to us: gotten us in a war, ruined our reputation with foreign countries, nosedived our economy, broken the housing market. It must end, NOW.

I think Obama would make a pretty good president. Maybe not the best, but I know he'd be better than that assclown we currently have in office.

So you'd go to MEXICO to get away from corruption? :lol:

Makes a hell of a lotta sense, doesn't it?:rotfl: :roll:

Maybe Fox will get lucky enough to earn a job in a shoe factory... perhaps, if he's REALLY lucky, in a fruit factory!

I told a student here at the college about the campaign Rep (he's into politics:eek:). He doesn't like Obama, so he laughed his head off!

I don't care to much who the U.S. votes for, beause we will all blame him/ her/ it in the end!:yep:

On this para i have to make a point i feel, as a poor uneducated outsider:cool:

Bush repealed the Carbon production limits in order to open up industry for more growth - always gonna be a trade-off between economic growth and environmental damage - part of our parasitic nature. I havent seen any nukes dropped yet, the first one i guarantee would never be by bush. Marshal Law, i believe in the aftermath of hurricane katrina? as for him 'lying' about wmds, well you either believe thats the case or not, n noone from eiher camp is gonna change their minds there. The switch however is imo justified, as it went from a legitimate (to some) war to a fight with islamic extremists (aka terrorists).

Could anyone else have handled things the way he has? maybe someone coulda done better, but he handled things pretty well imo. just think about who the alternative was....:dead:

It doesn't matter who the alternative is/was. The same thing would have happened. Afghanistan would have been invaded. There was no alternative. The only question is would Iraq have happened? Who would of been SecDef? Would it have still been run from the White House? (in this case SecDef is considered White House).
Alternative realities don't happen though. You have to deal with whats dealt.

baggygreen 02-25-08 04:39 PM

Thats just what im trying to get at brad - no matter who had been in charge, there woulda been a lot of choices made exactly the same, because there was no alternative that was acceptable. Everyone whinges about him, but he's done exactly what most other people in his situation would've as well.

bradclark1 02-25-08 07:43 PM

I believe the whines are over Iraq not Afghanistan.

StarFox 02-25-08 11:59 PM

Yes, afganastan would still have been invaded. thats because we had a real reason to Invade, the fact that we some how let Osama slip away really pisses me off. The man who helped create the worst terrorist attack in history deserves to be punished....but some how we got side tracked by Saddam's "Invisible WMD's" and the fight in Afganastan went from front page news to a small blurb when some one gets killed

come to think of it, thats just about all that the major networks report, when people get killed

Cause and effect.

In my opinion, he wasn't hard enough on the debtors in the country. They're the ones who have run down the real estate market, although he didn't help. In fact, he spoke to Congress and asked them to help the debtors. You don't fix a deflating asset bubble by re-inflating it.

You're sidestepping the question. Not fixing something that's already broken is not the same thing as breaking it in the first place.
