George Bush could be classified as an environmental terrorist, he actively wants to destroy wildlife preserves, is making our country more polluted under acts such as the "cleaner" sky act, which sets pollution regulations for factories and coal plants back to what they were in the 1960's.
And the "cleaner" water act which actually reduces the amount of money spent on water treatment plants, purification, and the conservation of natural filters like wetlands.

Speaker:  Bush, George - President

Date:  9/29/2000

Quote/Claim:
"[If elected], Governor Bush will work to…establish mandatory reduction targets for emissions of four main pollutants: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide." [Souirce: Bush Environmental Plan]

Fact:
"I do not believe that the government should impose on power plants mandatory emissions reductions for carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide." - President Bush, 3/13/03


I'm not a Kerry fan either, but I believe in a time such as this we MUST vote for the lesser of two evils, and I believe Kerry is nowhere near as corrupt, biased, and closeminded as Bush.  You can't be president and base all of your decisions on what you think Jesus would want, ignoring all scientific evidence to the contrary.

Thank you Lewis Black, let's try and be original. The reason for that was the dot.com boom. Internet-based businesses spawned all over the place, at the final 6-months of Clitin's(intentional spelling) term the economy began to tank (the dot.com bust) when the ecnomy spikes that drastically it's only a matter of time before it falls. Your boy John Kerry is planning on correcting the debt by raising taxes mainly on the middle-class and small business, does this make any sense to you? Small businesses and the middle class are the workforce. Anyone with half a brain will realize that this is a sure-fire way to kill the economy. You people support a corrupt party without integrity, didn't you ever wonder where Gore's 1000+ votes discovered in Florida actually came from? John Kerry believes that the war on terror should be handled the same way the war on drugs is handled to "bring to a point where it's only a nuisance" this is a stupid idea when dealing with people who believe it is the will of god to exterminate every man, woman and child who lives in a free society. If Kerry miraculously gets elected the expression "Common sense isn't all that common" will have an entirely different weight.

I know I said I wouldn't post on this thread again, but recent events have been quite "taxing" and has pissed me off beyond belief.

Do you beleive everything you see in Bush campaign commercials?  Damn man you are blind to reality if you think all of this is true... go to www.factcheck.org and see for yourself what some of those claims Bush makes are about.

Back to the topic at hand. All Kerry complains about is Bushh is leading us to war, anyonw with common sense will realize that if you let the terrorists slide they WILL do it again, if you don't retaliate with force, which is the only language relifous fanatics understand, you shall remain the victim. If Bush is so wrong I'd like to know what would do better, since he hasn't said a word of what his plans are. From what I've read of "Unfit for Command" Kerry is the reason he only did 90 day in nam' he cited a 3 Purple Heart rule which required him at his own request to be put on inactive status, and what did he do? he ran for Congress and founded the label of Vietnam Veterans as "Baby Killers." In case you don't know a standard tour of duty is a year so if even one of his purple hearts are a fraud he owes the United States Navy 9 months of active duty. Another interesting fact is that only one of his Swift boat colleges supports him, the rest are on the "Swift Boat Veterans For Truth". It is known that his "First" purple heart was "awarded" for a wound which was a result of his own stupidity, a fragment of a grenade which he fired from a grenade launcher, and from the description I read, it was the size of a Frosted Flake, Required not incision, removed with forceps, did NOT break the skin and was covered with a BAND-AID. If you think it's bad that "Bush lied" why was Clinton re-elected? He lied and was caught I didn't see a media frenzy until the trial. Just some food for thought. Have fun trying to swallow it.



Bush lied to take us to war, and a thousand Americans have died as a result.  Clinton lied about sex with a secretary, which one is worse?  If that BJ had killed a thousand people I wouldn't have voted for Clinton.  As for Kerry's complaints about GWB going to war, he has a valid point.  When Bush said we would go to war with Iraq only as a last resort, he lied we didn't go as a last resort.  He didn't wait for weapons inspectors, supposedly so that Saddam couldn't hide them, yet we didn't find any anyways.  Smart move...  When he lied about the connection between Saddam and September the 11th, when all intelligence said there was no connection.  Another good one.  In my eyes this president has gone against the convictions that this great nation stands for, and in the process reduced the world's opinion of the U.S. from one of great respect and admiration, to one of wariness and unease.  Choke on that

Bush is a religious nut, who can barely finish a sentence.  I can see why some people in the south and mid-west like that ignorance, but I find it disturbing.  Policies should  be made on evidence scientific and physical, not FAITH!

I'd like to see the entire Space Quest series filmatized.


Yes, if someone out there could write a script as silly and hilarious as the games, it would be a incredible thing...

Also, the Timothy Zanth Star Wars novels. The books take
place about five years after Return of the Jedi. To top it
off, there were three (all excellent) books, keeping with the SW
tradition.


Are you refering to the books written by Timothy Zahn, with Admiral Thrawn leading the remains of the Empire?  If so, I whole heartedly agree, though I think either George Lucas needs to go back to his old style of filming movies or someone else should take over the project.  I hate how he panders to little children, its disgusting.

I hope Steve Martin gets back to some of his older style comedy, rather than this family comedy crap he has been making recently.

Thank you Art for so perfectly stating what needed to be said and I didn't want to spend the time writing.

The problem with political debates in this American political environment is that most people already know who they are going to vote for and even when all of Bush's flaws are pointed out, they will still vote for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if either side resorted to such tactics. Initally wasn't it for dead people voting as oppossed to living people voting twice. About Iraq, put all Polictical agendas aside isn't plausable to assume that the reason to invade Iraq was to cripple Al-Queda's resources? You can't cause terrorism without some sort of funding(it is believed that Arab oil funds Al-Queda).



Yeah, and lots of people think that most of that cash comes from Saudi Arabia, Bush's best buddies.

That post from Terminator was the most unreadable, uneducated, and absolutely ridiculous political post I have ever seen, in any board, anywhere.  It's scary that people like that are the reason that Bush got a chance to get appointed to office.
