Relevance? The guy said countries that "suck on the teat of America" do as
their told. Russia is evidence to the contrary. Now, so are Spain and
Honduras.

This is the kind of hysterical ignorance I'm talking about. Do you REALLY
think the Republican party would risk the utter bloodbath that would ensue
if they rigged the next election via voter fraud? Holy shit, it would be
the end of the party. Please.

No one said they did. That isn't an excuse, however.

He supposedly put this plan of miraculous World Domination(tm) into play
within hours after 9/11. I'd called that pretty fucking genius. For a man
who before 9/11 was a hillbilly hayseed, he sure seems to be pulling a lot
of devious schemes behind America's back. I just want to know, which is it?

We're you in L.A. roughly a year ago? Or New York? Spent time in both.
Sentiment widespread, to say the least.

That is a legitimate gripe, and those are the arguments the left should have
made all along. The rest, as I said, are not. Calling Bush Hitler is
ignorant flap. Since you brought up Jon Stewart, he also said, in the same
segment, that by calling Bush Hitler you immediately lose credibility (not
to mention that you instantly insult and degrade the suffering of some 6
million people -- [my add.]).

Yes, and utter ignorance. I wish I could get a million dollars by placing
"tiny classified ads". Attempting to actually do so would make me an
ignorant jackass.

Look, I loved Clinton. Voted for him twice and worked on his campaign. But
shut up with that shit already. Is lying about a blowjob an impeachable
offense? No. Is lying about a blowjob in a court of law an impeachable
offense? Yes. And so he was impeached. The Democrats would have done the
same, given the opportunity. Hell, as I said, they've been screaming for
impeachment with no impeachable offense for over three years, what does that
tell you?

If only it were a crime to lie to the public. Alas, it is not.

Ugh. Both parties agreed to settle the matter before the Supreme Court. If
the court had ruled in Gore's favor, what then?

That was from the last guy. Hope you're speaking to him.

Maybe you missed my point entirely.
Please re-read that last paragraph. Slowly.
