Welcome, thatsoldier'swife and fourfive!

Cantey, on the whole it wasn't that bad a speech.

mystic, what an odd stance for you to take, since your side has been losing elections here for years. It's the liberals' inability to deal with this that makes being a conservative so much fun.

thatsoldierswife, you are absolutly right. I fear we are becoming too genteel, too delicate to fight a war. As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I say again that we need to send in the Klingons to deal with the terrorists. Prayers for your husband, and thanks for his service!

fourfive, that's . . .  innovative. Feel free to share your creativity here anytime you want.

NOT SURPRISING

he's never really been the greatest talker anyway

You claim to write in some sort of light, but you just might be delirous,

Are you serious do you have to be so hideous to not notice his smarts in

Having to start a war that represets who we are, every star, every stripe

we're all the same type, in some form, now doesn't that just make you feel

All warm, huh don't tell me it alarms, let me ask, you why write on this site,

Exactly what I thought you'd say " To express and display my art", it's okay

I'll say what you're not saying, or better yet delaying, to capitalize on the want

 And create a market to put some or more in your pocket, which is no different

Then what Bush did, he has taken advantage of our need whoops I mean greed

For m-o-n-e to make me, we fight his battle

I'm on your side!

I agree with all of your response to that idiot. 

As far as the "torture" of the prisoners goes, I believe that some of that is completly necessary and a lot of it is NOT torture. Poking a prisoner with a heated metal rod, that's torture. Putting a potato sack over their head to protect the identity of our soldiers, that's NOT torture.  But honestly...I say torture the bastards.

Al really hasn't been himself since 2000. Prior to that, it was hard to tell how he was...

Writeroflight...Thanks for stressing the troublesome main point...'Manipulative language'! - nothing new, though.

I agree with everything Gore said ...
and if more people agree with him than agree with you/Bush/GOP, well, make fun all you want. that's the price you pay for living in a democracy.

Al is really sick. Losing the election really turned this man into a very angry bitter little child. Its sad.
