have a lot in common. They are both so pathetic i almost feel sorry for them. Almost, then you realize that what comes around goes around and we all reap what we sow. Maybe Kerry can manage the Cubs next year after they run Krusty out of Chicago, and we run Kerry out of the Presidential race. Perfect fit, they both blame everyone but themselfs for their downfalls.

Actually I grew up in a very Democratic home. It's just been in the last 5 years or so that I started to vote Republican. I still vote for some Democrats, but it's getting fewer and farther between!

I was wondering if anyone but myself was seeing the similarities!! They both play dirty, and when the other side begins to give them a taste of their own medicine, they start whining and crying, and coming up with all of these unfounded claims. Then they go whining to the umpire/media, and they stick up for them. They are both unravelling at the seams, and are in self destruct mode. In the words of wonderful (insert sarcasm) Teresa Heinz Kerry, "You would have to be an idiot" to vote for John Kerry and his lover John Edwards!!

You know what makes me sick? Everyone complaining because "there have been over a thousand killed" in a war that has been going on for a year and a half now. Do you realize that we are in World War 3? Do you realize that in World War 2 tens of thousands of american soldiers died in single battles? One day!! We are complaining about 1000 soldiers in 1.5 years when terrorists came to this country and killed 3000 americans in one day!! Have you forgotten? If we don't take the battle to the terrorists, then the type of thing that happened in Russia last week is coming to America. The suicide bombers on the streets of Israel are coming to America, if we don't get them first. If John Kerry is elected president (ugh), then you can count these things happening on a daily basis right here in the United States of America!! The reason why is because John Kerry has the backbone of an amoeba! He doesn't know where he stands. He changes his views to fit the current climate. Can you tell me what John Kerry's plan is for Iraq? By the way, let me remind you that John Kerry actually supported the use of force in Iraq, and actually said that Sadaam Hussein was collaborating with al Qaida. But that was before he voted against it. Bill Clinton also supported taking action in Iraq. So how does that make Bush a liar? Because he didn't shift with the political winds like John Kerry?
Another thing that makes me sick. The liberal left made a big stink abot George Bush not doing anything about preventing 9-11. He failed to act on the information given! IT's his fault!! So when he decides to be proactive and do something to prevent Insane Hussein from attacking us, they say he's wrong for that. How can it be right to go after terrorist before 9-11, then be worng to go after Sadaam Hussein? If Geaorge Bush would have ignored the intelligence coming from Iraq, we would have most likely been attacked by someone receiving aid from Hussein, then the liberal left would have blamed Bush for not acting.
The issue for the left liberal nuts here is not what is or is not the right thing to do. It is whatever Bush does is wrong. Well, your days or number if John "Flip-Flop" Kerry is elected president, because the terrorist will have a field day after he disbans our military, cuts funding for military spending, etc.
Anyway, Astros fans, forgive me for going off on a non-baseball related subject, but I am sick of hearing about how Bush was wrong to lead us into war. If he hadn't led us into war, he would have been wrong for that too, just because he's Bush and liberals hate him because he has a backbone of steel.
Go Astros!!
Go Sean Hannity!!!
Go George W. Bush!!!!

I don't like the WW3 comparison either, but you have to admit, there are more countries involved in this war on terror than in other WW's.
This is a war, even though it is not conventional field battles, and there are 100's of countries involved. Even though Dan Rather would have you believe we are 'going it alone'.

Hundreds? There are 42 countries involved, out of 192 members of the UN. There are over 200 countries in the world...there were 206 countries in the Olympics. 42 is not hundreds.
Iraq was not part of the War on Terror until the war itself created the terrorists in Iraq.

My bad. If France is against it, then we must be wrong. Bin Laden is against it, so we must be wrong. Sadam was against it, so we must be wrong. Kerry was for it, then against it, so we must be wrong.
All I know is Bin Laden, Sadam, and terrorists fear W. They want Kerry, so I can't vote that way. You are right, I don't have the numbers, but I do know BL, S, and T's want Kerry in the worst way.

Terrorism affects the whole world, regardless of whether or not they are involved in this war. If someone doesn't stand up to them and prevent them from attacking, then eventually, their terrorist networks will cover the entire world, and every country will be getting attacked in some magnitude.
Now, how did a war on terror "create terrorists"? Which came first the chicken or the egg? Did terrorists cause the war or did the war cause terrorism? I think you can say that since we were attacked, terrorists declared war on us.
I know that Iraq didn't directly attack us, but neither did Germany in WW2. We went into that war to quell evil forces that were on the rise (Nazism, communisim, fascism, etc.) How is terroism any different from these evils?

Good point....
A lot of people were pro-Na--zi back then. History was their judge, and history will be our generations judge on these 'softies'. People will look back and say.... how could they allow terrorism. How could they be so weak to an enemy that would not fight in the battlefield? How could they let that second attack occur that killed 500,000 innocemnt Americans? History will be the judge, and W will be on the right side of the fence.

Good post! I agree the liberal media is so hypocritical of Bush it's pathetic. The good news is that it looks like the majority of Americans can see through the media BS circus and its bias views and America will likely re-elect George W. It also seems that the majority of Americans can see that Kerry is becoming more and more like Gomer Pyle every day. It is also being revealed to the American public that the cubs are not a realistic candidate for the WC position.
