I added the bit about France because I wasn't sure if the mutual defence bit covered them. The comedy value is purely incidental *honest ;)*

Let's see a rundown of some other Democratic candidates:

Howard Dean: He's from a small, goofy, liberal state with no real cities (Vermont) and is the ultimate blue-blood New England elite. He is definitely not a good representative of our country.

John Kerry: This guy cursed out George Bush in public. Public officials just shouldn't do that.

Joe Lieberman: I don't know much about him, but I've heard that he wants to censor video games, which makes me really pissed off.

Satan Hillary Clinton: She hasn't announced her candidacy and it's kind of late, but you never know. I am NOT voting for this witch no matter what.

And since Bush is 100% certain to win the Republican nomination, I guess I'll vote Bush for '04. He's not perfect, but he's ten times better than the Dem candidates.

And who cares which soldiers captured him? It really doesn't matter because either way the important part is that we've got him and we'll kick his ass after and if he gives us some information (he's very good at keeping his mouth shut) so :ha:

Some of Bush's "Bushisms" may actually be deliberate. A lot of the working-class people in the Midwest and South are actually very distrustful of "dem dere innaleckshuls", so he's actually catering somewhat to these moron voters because their support can be crucial in elections, no matter what party you're on. This is why Democrats often try to woo them with juicy entitlement programs, because stupid people are generally poor.

Looks at irony in his statements.

I thought "dem dern innaleckshuls" would never swear, since Kerry does swear, doesn't that make him more like the 'common people' and a better representative? ;)

Just pulling your leg.

Honestly, I don't care who gets elected, as long as it isn't Bush :p

I know for a fact that they didn't pull out all the way. Which is why I'm not sure if the mutual defence pact still applies to them.

Oh, and on the subject of newspapers in general - Piers Morgan = dickhead.


The only paper I could read without the bile rising into the back of my throat is The Independent and I'm not too keen on that.
Piers Morgan is a complete and utter ****.

The mutual defence article must be enacted by the head of Nato (last time I checked it was Lord Robertson).  Obviously it has an automated status, such as nuclear attack (for reason of despatch), but conventional attack is not treated as such.

You forgot one thing that all the democrats have going for them: they're not Bush.

You know, when I think of the common man, the average working joe, the blue collar men and women this country can't do without, I think Republicans. I remember all the times the Republicans went to bat for the unions that protect workers' rights. I remember all those Republican programs that cut taxes for the average guy and put the burden where it belongs: on the rich.

Those damned intellectual, over-educated Democrats. How could they possibly speak for the common man?

oh sorry. I woke up and read a post from Bizarro World. What bloody crack are you smoking?

I think you weren't' quite awake when you read my post.

A very large proportion of the population is composed of moronic, small-minded right-wing proles who are very distrustful of the "innaleckshuls" (people with some degree of intelligence and/or liberals) and the "big men" or "suits" (white-collar people). A lot of them are pious Christians too. These people like Bush because Bush spins himself a good image of a folksy, simple, prole kind of guy (even though he isn't). They like his mannerisms, his cowboy image, his religion, and his bizarre mutations of English words and phrases (many of which are deliberate). The Democrats also want the vote from both these people and their far-left counterparts (which will be mentioned later), so they try to bait them with entitlement programs and welfare and social programs. It's not that Howard Dean is realy bad because he's an intellectual "blue-blood", it's that it's going to hurt him in the elections because it will alienate these people. Many of our leaders are morons (or pretend to be morons) because so many people WANT morons in office. And the morons are not all on the right: witness the far-left loonies on the coasts who post messages on Internet sites like Democratic Underground in support of everything from socialism on the more moderate end of the spectrum to three-bong-hit super-communism and anarchy on the absolute lunatic fringe.

The average human being in ANY part of the world is a moron. Were it not so easy to manipulate stupid people, human civilization would've gone to **** long ago.

1. Oy vey. About time the truth got out. And I thank whoever helped to get this out into the open, as it will really damage Bush and the Republicans. The whole operation was a publicity stunt, just like Jessica Lynch, just like the aircraft carrier landing, just like the Saddam statue etc. Its makes me sick knowing that a)Many many people will still believe that the valiant US heros swooped in to catch the evil tyrant, or something, and b)People will most likely not care that Bush tried to lie. Its like "Well, you can't blame him for trying, he is the Prez after all, so he shouldn't REALLY be accountable"

2. Democrats or Republicans, its the same bull****. People think that Democrats are angels or something, that they're anti-war. Well guess what, Clinton went to war in 1999 with about as much actual reason as Bush (read: none) and everyone just kind of forgets that. The difference between Yugoslavia 1999 and Iraq 2003 is Public Relations. Clinton did it better, so he got virtually no dissent among the international community. The only Dem candidate thats at all worth voting for is Kucinich, but we all know how hard the media is working to marginalize him. Clark led a war not  5 years ago. How can anyone POSSIBILY consider him to be the "peaceful" vote. The majority of the Dem candidates are fence-sitters extrordinare.

3. Why is it that being an inteletual is suddenly a bad quality for a leader? I mean, if the person who is supposed to be in charge of the United States can't pronounce "nuclear", what is he doing in office. Intellectual=wiser=better. I'de like to hear anyone dispute that.

Well, enough of my rants, its good that the truth got out in the end.

Actually, I remember Clinton leading US troops into Yugoslavia. I also remember that fewer US troops lost their lives there in the entire time they were there than lost their lives in Iraq in the first three months we were there. Further, I recall that Clinton's work in Iraq was indeed sanctioned and supported by the international community. In fact, I also recall that the justification Clinton gave for sending US troops in the first place, turned out not to change every two weeks when things were looking unpopular. You can blame Clinton for a lot of things, but not for being a bad or dishonest war-leader.

There is a difference between Dems and Reps. Mostly in which end of society they want to screw. I'm from the bottom 60% so I'm all for screwing over the rich guys. Hell, I'm more than a little bit of a socialist. Its one of the reasons I'm looking forward to moving to Australia.

Intellectualism is bad. Being smart isn't. There's a sort of "IM SO L33T" attitude that seems to come in to play with intellectuals. Better vote for a smart person who understands people than a genius who doesn't have any social skills.

To the best of my knowledge, in Britain and Australia, they can't use the paper at fish and chips shops anymore because fo the inks. I dunno about Canada. The US hasn't allowed it for ages (not that we have proper fish'n'chips places here).

The EU banned the use of newspaper as it's supposedly unhygienic.

So they just started buying unprinted newspaper paper and wrapping chips in that.

The # of US dead isn't the issue. The number of innocents is. If the measure of a war is based only on the number of your own soldiers killed, which is to say "effectiveness", then moraliy goes out the window.

Morality is only a means of justification.

Wars are started to serve the greed, power and vengence of those in power.

I imagine its the same in Canada... its run by a bunch of asians who can barely speak English, so they probably dont know...
