    I love it.
    You fucking bible thumpers hate Clinton so much, you can taste it.
    Bush only dreams of being 50% of the president Clinton was.
    It's not healthy to follow a party so blindly. At some point common sense must override your freak ass right wing silliness.
    Why the hell you always starting Republican VS Democrat nonsense??
    I hate people like you, never have anything to say except bashing the opposite party.
    REALITY CHECK: BUSH IS A FAILURE
    In case you forgot. =]


    P.S. new polls came out today. He has a 39% rating. Good job Bush!

    I'm so glad you love it. Love what? WTF is a "bible thumper"?

    I'm sure that is on his mind all the time.

    Yes, it certainly looks like you are lead around.

    Apparently this must be ly1 talking. You must be Schizophrenic. In some threads ly2 comes out sounding exactly like what you accuse me of. But it looks like ly1 has taken over this thread. Someone bring back ly2.

    Talk about waffling..
    Reality check... That is your uneducated opinion.
    Were still in the first half man... There's a lot of time still left on the clock.

    Correct, most have moved to the Upper Middle Class, or some other varient of a higher tax/wealth bracket.

    Do you realize what you just said makes no sense? The jobs being outsourced are jobs Americans DON'T WANT. And they are jobs that no college educated person is going to do, after going to school for 8 years...

    You sure you don't live in a double wide somewheres in the south?
    Yeah, the end of the world is upon us....

    Doom and Gloom!!!

    I have to disagree with this part. My older sister's computer programming job just got outsourced to India. Scarcely a job no one wants.

    That said, I'll admit to being one of those people who paid for college on her own. Only help my mother gave me was that I could live with her while I was in school. I paid for all my classes, no loans, no grants. I worked part time the entire time I was in college. It meant it took longer for me to graduate, but I made it.

    I don't think of people who get Pell grants as getting something for nothing. The students I found who had the worst attitude toward school were the ones whose parents paid for everything.

    We should spend that money building schools in Iraq or maybe building more prisons.

    For the most part people who are getting financial aid for school, are trying to better themselves, I'm not sure if quite qualifies for sucking the "tit"

    If we need to save money by denying people the "tit" there are probably better places to start then student loans, etc

    Aren't there like billions going to subsidize businesses

    Unfortunalty, the current administration disagrees. As do I.

    I meet "college" grads often. Unemployed or not working in their field. Therefore, they don't or can't pay their loans. Oh and dumb as rocks!

    That is sucking tit. My tit if ya wanna be precise. Hell your's too.

    Now there's something we can agree on! No doubt, I'd rather kids get the money for any education, even if they suck tit, then corporate welfare!

    Yeah but how many college grads go on to pay more taxes then either of us?

    Or fill whatever profession, college is way over blown, and there are tons of bullshit degrees and half ass students, but most people who get student aid are poor. If you are young and still on your parents tax return, and they make like combined income of like $50,000 you don't get shit.

    Most people who get pell grants, and I would have to look this up are over 25 and poor, Like I was when I went to school.

    I would say in my personal experience that most people over 25 and poor, going to college, arn't there to throw frisbees, or go to keg parties, or get degrees in Womans studies, or liberal arts.

    They are usually there to take whatever class will increase their income.

    In sweden you don't have to take a loan for doing education, it's free + 150$/month (because you study) + 300$/month (If your campus is more than 30 miles from your parents home) + 200$/month (if your family earns less than 20.000$(don't know exactly but something like that) a year)

    This is a fun pissing match. But I did see this on TV to. However I'm not 100% clear on what I read.

    I think the money is being taken away because the requirements to get it are stricter. The poor students won't get money and fill seats. They will have to perform to get the money.

    I bet if there are enough performers, they will increase the budget. But there's nothing wrong with making folks earn the money be proving they are deicated capable students.

    You know exactly what a bible thumper is.

    No, but it's on yours.



    No, if you check my posts, you will see I argue on both sides. Only a moron would agree with their party 100% of the time like you do.
    Again, the common sense thing comes into play.
    Nobody is correct 100% of the time, even...:::GASP:::...republicans.
    But you dont seem to get that...



    I have more brains than to blindly fight for a party 100% of the time like you do. democrats are morons and so are republicans. You just cant accept the fact republicans are ever wrong, its pathetic.

    Fuck You. :)


    Thats the problem, running the country... its not a fucking game.
    Thats something the president has a hard time understanding.
    Apparently you do too.

    If it isnt a game why do people vote for Democrats or Republicans period?

    That is all it is to them. I just got to smile when I see one person bitching about Bush while turning around and voting for someone equally as pathetic on the democrat side. One is not better than the other. This country will continue to slide until we all realize that.

    Just my opinion though.

    No, I do not. Or else I would not have asked the question.

    There's a name for that.
    Sorry, but I'm not a "yes man". I think for myself.

    According to you perhaps, but I never said that.

    Where have I ever said I am a Republican or that I support or favor a certain party? I really do not ever recall saying that in any post I have ever made in this forum. You know what they say about people who assume.

    Someone is a bit upset. Posts like this make me wonder what really got AC banned. Might be a good idea to calm down.

    I guess so. I've always been a bit slow to falling to peer pressure and violence.

    Anyone that has oral sex in the oval office and doesn't expect to be caught is as fucking stupid as it gets man.

    Sorry but that's the way I see that.

    They are all equally retarded. It is safe to say if Bush saved a mans life tomorrow you would find something wrong with the way he saved his life and bitch about that to no end.

    You hate Bush no matter what happens. That is pathetic imo. Need to get over that. He is here, he isn't going anywhere until 2008, and everytime a rational person sees someone make a comment wishing Cheney shoots himself in the face it makes them think twice about voting the same way as this person because they do not want to be associated with the likes of that thought process.

    I speak how I feel. If the man had shot his face off, I wouldnt think twice about it. Theres a ton of other people here who feel the same way, they just keep to themselves about it. I choose to voice it. So what? And you're correct about hating Bush no matter what. He has done so many wrongs, there is no way he could repair them all. The man is foul, no getting around it.
    He's a liar and a killer.

    I have no idea why the hell we are in Iraq, whatever the reason, its wrong.
    The entire war is based on lies.
    I can think of a ton more places we should be besides Iraq...
    Iran, Korea, China, etc
    Yet we are spending billions trying to "help" some shithole country that doesnt want our help, nor our freedoms.

    Now because he fucked up the Iraq war so bad, there is no way we will be able to strike Iran, the world no longer takes us seriously. Nobody is going to help us hit Iran. And when Iran gets their nukes, thats the day we are going to pay. They are going to nuke us and the jews.

    All because your man Bush had a itch to go into Iraq, for god knows what reason. Prolly thinking we could score the oil, who knows.
