Thanks

Scott

Tho seeing the sign when I early voted put the Radiohead song in my head. That was cool.

To give you an idea of my voting choices, there wasn't one possible democrat to vote for in a local judge position. I also got some dirty looks in line with my shirt, but I did have a couple other people ask me where they could buy one.

Scott Long----Bringing Art and Commerce to Our Lives!

Bush was a disaster. The sooner you realize that (and your party) the sooner the Republicans will have a chance to rebuild their house which is in shambles.

LOL! Good one, Scott! Ever the comedian...

I would hardly call the last eight years a fiscal libertarian's utopia--in fact, I'd be hard pressed to find much "deregulation," either.

"Scott Long - Doing his best to promote Socialism in America."

In 2004 I wore a shirt to the polls that had a picture of Bush with the caption "American Terrorist."

Thats just terrible. The US is protecting & promoting freedom around the world (the same freedom that allows you to wear a shirt like that), and this is how you pay respect? Are you serious? Even if you dont like the President, wearing something like that is just plain wrong.

Bush was a disaster. The sooner you realize that (and your party) the sooner the Republicans will have a chance to rebuild their house which is in shambles.

He was strong on the War on Terror. He got it right when he dumped Rumsfeld, kept with the surge even though most of America was against it. Now thats been proven to be an overwhelming success. He also passed tax cuts (and I dont know anyone that would rather pay more to the govt rather than just keep the money they earn). Made good supreme court nominees (Harriet Myers exempt).

As for his bad---> his moves with buying out the banks have been awful. His spending has been awful.

Bush has hurt the conservative movement in the last two years. I doubt it will take long for it to resume since Obama's presidency is going to mirror Jimmy Carters. Whoever the Reagan of 2012 is yet to be determined, but there'll be someone emerge.

So when is my cousin coming home??

America will have bases in Iraq for probably forever, just like it has bases in Germany, the Philippines, South Korea, etc.

Um, should I have called BS on the cardiologist who did my dad's bypass surgery when he said it was a success, even though my dad couldn't actually go home five minutes after surgery was over?

You should change your moniker to "chris the strawman-maker"...kinda like Joe the Plumber.

You seem really pissed off at my not "paying respect" to Bush, but it's not my duty or obligation as a citizen to pay even a smidgen of respect to a man who defiled our country worse than any other person in its history. Obviously, your mileage may vary.

No argument can be made for that.

I think all POTUS should at least be respected and at the very least not outwardly disrespected. You wearing that shirt is just as bad as people that wear Obama Curious George shirts, probably worse. The most ironic thing is that you're probably wearing that shirt bc of the war in Iraq, but the war in Iraq is bringing about freedom to those that would never in a million years even be allowed to wear a shirt that expressed such disgusting "political dissent".

to a man who defiled our country worse than any other person in its history

Hyperbole much?
The socialist-communist, protectionist far left have a very warped perception of the world and its very scary that one of their own could be in the White House soon, with Pelosi/Reid running congress.

At least you gave me my morning chuckle. Thanks.

18 I didn't realize you guys were using "success" in the Orwellian sense, sorry.

-the Strawman.

It would be interesting to see what the Iraq people think since it is their country that has been transfigured. With only their heart to vote would they rather have back 1/2 million casualties and a tyrant, or a broken country dependent on the US Surge to make their country safe enough to walk the streets.

I'd have been all over helping the Iraq people gain their freedom in much the same way France helped us but never will I agree that invading Iraq was the correct move. I'm sure if they knew they were going to have 1/2 million casulties in an American invasion they would rather have done the dirty deed themselves in the 1st place.

What does Saddam Hussein and Elvis Presley have in common?

Answer - They are more popular dead than alive.

Democracies take years to build.

While I dont believe in nation building per-se, there were certainly many reasons outside of just freeing a group that were appropriate for liberating Iraq. #1 being IMO having a strong ally in the region in order to keep Iran in check.

Joey, it is really time for you to reconsider who you decide to thrown the whole socialist slam towards. As long as we don't have a flat tax or national sales tax, all parties budgets are socialist to a certain extent. I am concerned that an all democratic party government will continue the spending albatross we currently have around our necks. Of course, the biggest explosion happened under a republican party controlled system.

I wish I had more time to deal with your attacks on me, but I'm busy living in the suburbs, taking care of my family and trying to raise my children with moral values. I hope they don't find out I'm a socialist.
