Wow. Aint that revealing. Our most vociferous hawks were hanging out by the water bong in the 60's yet are now wrapping themselves up in the flag yackin at us about patriotism, country, freedom, liberty, service, etc.

My God people, are you totally blind or totally corrupt. In my view, Bush backers, that is your only choices.

I don't know. It's 2:55AM and I'm working on a brief thats due today and I have no idea what I'm writing.

Good thing your client is getting the most out of that "billable time". I'm sure when you're letting him/her know about the late nights you spent on their case, you will also let them know you were hanging out with us.

hehe- that's right, just tell them that you had to correct Freeze once AGAIN and there was nothing you could do about it.

Why would it matter who served and didn't serve in Nam? The whole world is f***** up and it started with 9-11. It wasn't Bush's fault that happen.Stuff liked that happen in the past(Not as bad) and none of our leaders did anything. The bottom line to me is, should you want someone leading our country that during the past 20 years as a senator has done nothing for our country, then vote Kerry/Edwards. I personally feel Bush could do a lot more and he is holding back. I feel thats a mistake and the terrorist will kill many more Americans. The sad thing is the Kerry/Edwards team would love for that to happen, should it happen before the elections. Kerry/Edwards would be 100 times softer than Bush.

One thing's for sure. This admin has been pretty effective at keeping a good percentage of our population scared shitless.

Yes no clue. But lets keep them scared. Fear & Fear. Tax Cut and thats about it. Thats why he ran out of material in the debate after 40 minutes. What a list posted above guess it shows who really gave. And then those experts that really don't know chit. I was not surprised at all to see Hannity and Savage. You can tell the type. All talk no real balls. Much like Cheney. Cheney hell yes lets go to war. But don't ask any of my family to serve. Lush/Rush that one surprised me. The way he talks you think he was in the front lines once in his life. Maybe it's the drugs he takes.
