This made me laugh though:
As it was to be expected it went completely over your head (and those of your neo-con cousins) that this is exactly what bin Laden wanted to happen.
Hence his perfectly timed video last week.
In fact, you should be grateful to him for assisting in 're-electing' your masters and idols
People with sense.
But then, neo-cons like Matadore have never cared much about people.
Have you Mat?
Anyway, even if Kerry had got in it would have made very little difference to anything.
what a pile of bollox!
no i aint read the whole thread.
cos i got to this reply and couldn't go any further.
the whole fucking world didn't suddenly wake up one morning with anti american feelings or even anti right wing feelings.
i have family in america and canada.
we look to america for freedom ...fantastic nation ...our helpers in times of troubles we can't deal with our selves ...rock n roll ...holywood ...the dream ...
but ...people were quaking in their boots a few years back thinking if this guy and his band of merry men ever get into power there will be wars and mayhem and mass poverty ...realy.
...and now it has all come to pass.
and you will pay the price.
I would gratefully add them to the list, their bands being shite only adds to the merriment.
If they lose their civil liberties or get killed by terrorists or are sent to war then they can't really get angry, but then isn't that the whole point of democracy?
soad fucking rule
Indeed they do.
Those earning less than $50,000 a year have really fucked themselves up.
Those who are gay or want an abortion don't stand a chance.
Oh people have accepted it but they are surprised and disappointed which is to be expected really.
I dont like Bush for what he stands for poverty, rolling back civil right and war
The world is going to get worse and so will Iraq.
Iran and N Korea will become more militant and these boys are close to building Nukes! Personally i dont blame them there are scared of Bush's America
Like the US administration couldn't accept how the people of Chile voted in the early 70's so backed a miltary coup that led to the torture and murder of thousands of people.
I have no problem whatsoever with Americans, if i did have a problem with a whole nation of people I would be no better than Kilroy!
OK so that is cleared up, i do not agree with Bush, i do not like bush, i wanted Kerry to win as he seems like a more down to earth guy. However throughout all the speeches and campaigns i felt that Bush was the stronger. If i were an american i would vote for someone who could lead and be a confident leader.
I also would disagree with some of the attitudes tonight, in a democratic society what did you really expect the americans to do?
"Oh what a shame, those critisising knobs on thesite.org may start calling me some horrible names if i do not vote for their choice, oh yay lets be bullied into voting for their choice yipppeee!"
Thats rich coming frm a lot of you, when names like "yanks", That country....brainless ****s", "fascist bastards" are being hurled around i find quite offensive and quite disappointing.
Like i said i do not like Bush, yet i respect these people for voting for the man they felt would do best.
It seems that you have to agree with the other side to be "decent" and "acceptable" well i would disagree as on your logic guys, you would be quite happy with a dictatorship, where people cannot choose.
I wished Kerry had got in however, we dont know what promises were made, only the Americans who voted know their reasons to be quite frank they do not need to justify themselves to you lot, to defend their nation and name.
I find it quite hypocritical that you see it fit to insult the people who seem to hold a different view to you.
Believe me i m not happy myself, i feel that Bush is hiding a lot from us and that he is a dodgy man, however Blair is no different, and to be quite honest i can see that slime ball getting in again! I do not like the way Iraq was handled and i for one supported Kerry, he just was not the stronger candidate....So what... get over it!
:rolleyes:
Well it wouldnt surprise me in this day and age if it was banned is some places!
I know one American who finds the word very offensive and she wishes not to be called it.
I respect her wishes yet like you say i do not find it offensive, but the word american in a topic like this would have been better suited, it is being used a rude term.
i could go home now, but who the hell wants to live in baghdad right now???:p
I dont like Bush for what he stands for poverty, rolling back civil right and war
What a load of crap Marv...
You want to back that up, or are we just throwing out unsubstantiated charges for effect?:rolleyes:
What gets me is all this 'healing the divisions' stuff, after the most divisive, plain spiteful attacks seen in an election campaign since ever, most of it directed towards Kerry. Kind of makes me despair of all politicians, when they so blatantly amp up the moral outrage before the election, and lapse into grumbling slumber afterwards.
Don't suppose the SBVs are going to be much use against Hillary. Rove will have to come up with a new bag of tricks...
people were quaking in their boots a few years back thinking if this guy and his band of merry men ever get into power there will be wars and mayhem and mass poverty ...realy.
Really?? It’s all come to pass? Mass Poverty???? Maybe you're talking about your nation, America’s on a roll. If you don’t believe me try reading a newspaper. 5.4% unemployment, 1.3 million jobs created in the last year, largest GDP Quarterly growth rates in over 20 years, lowest interest rates in 40 years, the Housing Industry is booming… .
Why is it that all you can see is gloom and doom? It’s an affliction that affects the left called Chicken Little Syndrome.
I could excuse some Republican voters in 2000. I can't now. Given the unspeakably appalling record to date, practically all of Republican voters can be categorised into two groups:
1. As fucking thick as two short planks
2. Evil fucks.
I shall make an honourable exception of Thanatos (if he indeed voted for Bush), since he claims that he simply could not vote for Kerry on conscience issues- namely charges of 'treason'. But apart from him and maybe a few others with similar issues, there was no excuse whatsoever for voting in that bunch of incompetent, lying, cheating, murdering deranged criminals.
And before anyone complains about generalisations and all of that, bear this in mind: 47% of Bush voters still believes Saddam has stockpiles of WMDs.
Which translates as: nearly half of Republican voters are retarded.
