Russ Feingold to Help Republicans Move on To Stage 2: Anger

[albed]

By guts he means the determination of a person to stick to his convictions(guns) instead of yielding to what others want.

Non-liberals actually find that trait admirable. Liberals, of course, find it incomprehensible.







Sometimes guts is enough.

So, you and other non-liberals admired Saddam, Hitler, Pol Pot, et.el?
Good to see you coming out of the closet and admiting to your shortcomings.

And when it comes to Bush, it is odd indeed that you would choose to use the word convictions...

Meanwhile, the topic is...

bush? guts? hell, how would anyone know? he's never put himself in harms way. not during vietnam and not now.

this is a guy who regularly puts others in danger but not himself.

the only heat he might take is printed criticism - but he doesn't read inside the papers ("i see the headlines.") so he avoids even that.

he recently spent large sums of your money to have his little situation room all tricked out with comfy leather chairs and slick flat screen tvs so he could conference in james bondian comfort - while the troops are getting their asses blown out of broiling humvees on the other side of the world.

nah, this twerp doesn't have guts, and we know he doesn't have brains. just a reptilian sense of self preservation combined with a patholigical delusion there is a god and he's been annointed by him.

guts. christ that's a laugh.

There is a clip going around, youtube will have it, where military troops in Iraq are being interviewed about the situation in Iraq. Most of the soldiers responded saying how they were tired of people saying they support the troops but oppose the war, they are frustrated with the lies of the media and how the American public veiws their efforts to bring people a better way of living, their effort to bring democracy to a place where murder, rape, etc against the majority ran rampunt.

The liberals did not like this one bit, take William M Arkin of the Washington Post for example. Seems he thinks the troops should shut up because the nation is tired of feeding them and supporting their blood lust.

--“ So, we pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?”—

Read The comments at the bottom of his article aswell.


Oh, and someone said Canadians are pissed we are in Afghanistan. That should say French Canadians not Canadians. Spring election was kinda funny too….cute post.

You're right, Jack, the only thing at stake for most politicians is public image. This doesn't mean they are without conscience, that the deaths of thousands of Americans does not weigh heavily on their minds. I have no doubt that politicians on both sides want to save as many lives as possible. Miraculously, they can have such desires without ever knowing how rough a soldier's life really is. Being pushed outside of your comfort zone and having your life threatened is not a prerequisite for being commander in chief, though often that is a consequence of becoming president as 18 of them well know. A few new leather chairs and TV's won't actually make Bush more comfortable, Jack, they'll only reduce visits to the chiropractor and optometrist.

And as for his level of intelligence, until you show me his certified I.Q. and it's below 100, you're full of hot air. He's the most well informed an best advised person in the world. His perceived lack of competence is nothing more than the public's lack of confidence in him and I trust his gut more than your's.

Lmao; it's like a flailing temper tantrum thrown by a two year old who doesn't get his way.


Bush made his promises and commitments and he's standing by them. Unlike so many others.


I think Bush will go down in history as "President Guts".

And you think that is a good thing?
Thousands of men lose their life's.
Thousands of children without their fathers.
All this to prove Bush has guts?
Not a father yourself then?

The whole thing in Iraq has gone wrong.
The real gutsy thing would be to admit this.
Then get to work,to see about getting out of there.
Not more of the same.
At home here,Blair has been mostly quite a good prime Minister.
But his support of this thing in Iraq has ruined his creditability.Which I think is a shame.

hehe. i read some of your latest stuff mazer and burst out laughing. "nothing more." good one lol, but re iraq you can't back up nor provide evidence for.

it's pure fantasy. well, delusion actually.

i don't hold it against you. we all have ours. no one takes yours seriously (except the christian right and even they are backing away) and most importantly you're not sending kids off to die, but it is increasingly disconnected from reality.

edit. i just saw albed's pout. "president guts" is even zanier than "nothing more."

[albed]

Pretending the military is made up of "kids" is another glaring example of leftist ethics.

Or senility.

Either I'm deluded or the majority of Americans are. We won't know which for quite some time.

It's all relative Jack.

Now... who will be the next on the Hot Seat?

I sure hope that it is not that power hungry bitch hilery.

Iraq Deployment Act of 2007

Now, we will see just where the politicians stand on this.

[albed]

Hold your breath. Please.

[vernarial]

So if the United States of America is not a democracy, what is it then, totalitarian, fascist?

More like a Plutocracy. This would make a good discussion.
