Title: , what a great day....
Post by: chrome302jr on November 03, 2004, 01:18:24 PM
It feels good to say that Bush won. Whats greater is the fact that not only is the President Republican, but the Senate(54-44), US House(229-200), and Governors(28-21) are Republican. Plus the democrats cant complain about being robbed, Bush took the popular vote too. Gulliani and Mccain '08 Has a good ring to it. :banana:

Too bad the Repugnant party has been hijacked by these idiot neocons, and people still support them as if it's the same ol' Repugnant party.
Our long national nightmare lasts another four years.

Well, if you voted for him, you'll be getting exactly what you deserve.. and none of it good. Kiss your freedom goodbye when these pukes railroad things like Patriot Act 2 into law.

That's about all you can say.. stupid nonsense about smilies.
Give me a real Republican presidential candidate and I'd consider voting for him.. someone like a Bob Dole.. not these hippie liberals (at least, they spend like 'em) pretending to be religious zealots.

Like me???? and the original thread starter? If "old fashioned" means keeping the U.N out of our presidential electoral process (a huge possibility if Kerry was elected and the former president Clinton made the U.S chairman of the U.N.) and Mrs. Clinton out of the Supreme court, then yes, I believe that I'm very old fashioned.
BTW, I do agree, Guiliani/McCain '08 does have a nice ring to it.

That's about all I'm going to say. Honestly I don't see the point in arguing my point with you. I'll not be changing your mind and you won't change mine either. So if you're looking for some kind of debate then you can take your hatred for George Bush to someone else. I voted. He won. I'm glad. End of story.

No, wait. I'm Canadian, so I can't be president. Can I? Um.... The Governator isn't American, is he? He can't run either, can he? Or are they changin' that? If not, fugheddaboutit. If so, if they are changing that silly rule that the leader of Americans must be American, VOTE FOR ME!:evilgrin:

They ARE talking about changing the rule to allow people like Ahnuld to run. Personally, I'm against it. I think you should be born and raised American if you want to run the country.
However, if they DID change the law, I'd be more inclined to vote for you than vote for Ahnuld. I can see it now: A law to give big discounts on parts for T-bird and Cougar owners.. :p

some things have worked fine for hundreds of years, why should they be changed now? That's my only overall opinion about law changes. I'm sure there are many people who could do a better job though - people who weren't born in the US
(although some changes made in the 20th century were way overdue, mainly human rights issues)

I honestly think Michael Moore is either the dumbest person on the face of the planet, or really wanted Bush to win. If he had half a brain, he'd know that every time he opened his mouth, he probably pushed dozens (conservative estimate) of people to Bush's side. It got to where I was hoping he wouldn't say anything just so he wouldn't screw up chances of getting Bush out of there any more than he already had.

Im not rubbing it in anyones face, just stating the facts. If facts offend then Im sorry. Im also a young voter, 22, and I still hold fast to conservative morals. So please dont stereotype young voters. :) Its election day, a political thread is very appropriate I would think. :dunno:

Add "war with Iran" to that list.. and maybe also Syria. Iran's the one that worries me, though.. if they really are buying these Sunburn missiles from the Russians. They'd be in a position to block off all traffic into and out of the Persian Gulf for months, including (and especially) Navy and oil tanker traffic.

Wow....if you want to flame me for starting a political thread, then go ahead. If Kerry would have won, then Im sure those that supported him would be boastfull too. Dont act like Democrats didnt have 8 years of Clinton. It all balances out in the end.
Secondly, I dont need an excuse for a thread. I personally dont care if you agree/disagree with this thread. I wont lose sleep over it. THe content of the thread isnt offensive unless your a sore loser. :dunno:

Also, I live in Va, which is made up of many military families. Ironically, that is why Va continues to vote Republican. This state relies on the jobs provided by military funding. I also know many military families personally, and they pull for Bush. When you choose to join the military, you should be fully aware of the dangers and responsibilites involved. Its a choice. Now for those that think the draft will be reinstated, thats nonsense. That theory was introduced by the dems to scare away young voters. MTV really pushed that idea of that says anything.

OK, it was old the second time you tried it.
This thread needs locking at the very least or deleting at best.. although this time I won't be the one asking for it to be dealt with. We already had one political thread, and this was just redundant and more likely than the other thread to cause arguments.
One of the reasons this place is usually so decent, in my opinion, is that the political stuff rarely pops up here. (not saying it never does.. but far less than most boards) This is a very divisive period in our history.. just about ANY political discussion is bound to turn ugly if it lasts long enough. The only other board I can think that compares to this one, in terms of keeping that stuff to a minimum, is a Ford inline 6 forum I visit that explicitly discourages (read: forbids) political and religious discussions. (they slipped in one poll yesterday about what issues drove people to vote, but it was heavily moderated and I think several posts were deleted)
So far, I've kept the gloves on, even if barely. I'm running fresh out of tolerance for people that frankly, I feel betrayed this country by re-electing the worst president in my lifetime (and hell, I was around for Nixon.. even if just a baby at the time) and one of (if not the) worst presidents in history.
So if you REALLY are trying to keep things from exploding around here, you may want to abandon the "I love cars" tack and go for the "please lock or delete this thread" stuff. It only goes downhill from here.

And the Kerry backers would've been just as wrong and tacky as you have been by making a thread like this.
And again I ask, HOW am I a sore loser, (which yes, I find this thread's presence offensive) when I didn't vote for Bush OR Kerry? I knew my candidate wasn't going to get elected. I know far too many people in this country aren't brave enough to vote outside the 2 party nonsense. Voting for "the lesser of two evils", which is the way many people say they vote these days, is still voting for evil.. but apparently that's too big a concept for most people. As far as I know, there's no law written that says you people have to choose between those two clowns.
Bush is a phony. He pretends to be a conservative but does little to actually advance conservative agendas.. and spends like a liberal. He pretends to be a born-again, but can't even be bothered to go to church when presidents before him (even the cigar-wielding pervert) could find plenty of time to do.
Kerry is a loser. He pretty much based his campaign on NOT being Bush. Well, when you define your position by the deeds of one other person, you really can't be much else. The only upside to Kerry is that he could've been easily held in check by a Republican Congress and not had much chance to do any real damage to the country. Now Bush can run roughshod over what's left of the Constitution and get us into a couple new and unnecessary wars to boot.
Lastly, what does 8 years of Clinton have to do with me? I'm not a Demo. I'm a registered Independent that tends to support the Libertarian Party.

Bush is weak and moronic lets send jobs out of the country and give those companys tax breaks.
