Longride,

I was USMC for 4 years. I don't have to make excuses like you do with your "life on the line horseshiite". The funny thing is that I'm sure you work with plenty of fellow firefighters that actually were in the service and then became firefighters. What I don't get is why you even mention how close to you came to being a great jet flying warrior. Horseshoes and hand grenades there you almost wannabee.

McCain's an ass.

He sold his soul to monkey boy and then frenched him. When I saw McCain hugging and slipping W the tongue I just had to wretch. I have never been more disappointed in a person as I have been with McCain. What a joke he has become. I can just see the attack ads with him choking monkeyboy with his tongue. Makes me sick.

Bush is still

a constitution hating shiite for brains. And he is a proven liar on top of every other lowlife thing anyone can think of.

Re: Bush is still

Yeah, but we loved Billy Clinton despite it.

 

[longride]

I truly don't give a shyt what you did. I was talking with JB. You don't 'get' lots of things. I'm sure I can't help you there.

B.S.

Much different lies.. W lies and people die...One can argue that Bill's lie was none of our business. Republicans sure wasted a lot of money on Ken Star and the whole impeachment thing. That is one thing where I am different than most Repubs and especially W lovers like Rush, O'Rielly and you i.e I don't carry grudges. I doubt the Dems will either i.e they will not bring W up on charges and yes the could...

Re: kpaul's risky strategy to win the war in Iraq

Republicans controlled the White House in 75. Nixon had had about six years to make his 'secret plan' work. I know guys who took the same hill three or four times. They would hand it over to the South Vietnamese, and they would give it back. The REAL lesson of Vietnam is, just like in real life, you can't help someone who won't help themselves. There is one difference between this war and Vietmam, however. Dubya's Dad can't get him out of this one.

 

[36284]

To be serious for a moment, I got worried when Dubya started saying that maybe we should set some benchmarks, and when these are achieved, we bring some troops home. It sounded reasonable to me. The President of Iraq said America can't tell them what to do. WTF? If they will not even attempt to oh, I don't know, improve security, or keep the damn power on, or disarm the death squads, how is anything going to get any better? We may actually end up having to THREATEN to go home to get them to do any of the things a government is supposed to do. Stupid got us into this, I don't see how Feckless can mess it up any worse. "All we are saying, is give Feckless a chance."

Friend of mine has an ST4 with one of them there two sided type swingarms. Like most bikes, the little marks on each side are useless, so he has to go through this elaborate ritual every time he adjusts his chain. (OK, he's a bit anal) He whomps my VFR's ass every chance he gets on this particular looooong straightstretch just because he can, but he would trade swingarms in a New York Minute. Loosen the little bolt, use the spanner thingy (it's real name escapes me at the moment) to achieve Just Enough Tension to let you touch the rub strip if you give the chain a nice firm shove, tighten down the little bolt, be sure everything is still all right, and bob's your uncle.

Re: B.S.

My lying politician can beat up your lying politician! Or maybe he lied about that too. I think the only place where the crime rate is higher than it is in the Ghetto is inside the beltway.

Maybe because I've seen their dynamic before I read that exchange very differently from you. Couple o' Grumpy heavyweights throwing a few halfhearted jabs without trying to connect. Pushing each others buttons sure, end of the day respect.



I'm a "Vet", peacetime, bfd, I would've quit in a week if I could have. I believed the recruiters lies and signed the papers.



longride doesn't need your respect. Last I heard Firefighters had the most respected job in the Country.

Re: Bush is still

Now here I completely agree with you, see how that works?

"They" are saying that going after W would just be vindictiveness. To bad all the people dead from his actions don't get to be "The Decider" as to whether he should be held accountable for lying us into a F-ING WAR! Or at least to see if he did (he did).

If one looks up PNAC online these Traitors spell out what they're trying to do. Looking at that "blueprint" and comparing their otherwise un-understandable actions should provide proof of conspiracy to commit War Crimes. Interesting to note that they felt a "Pearl Harbor" type of event would be necessary to initiate their agenda... what with ALL the HUGE holes in their 9/11 story.

At least "They" won't try to confirm a boorish and belligerent man as our ambassador to the World.

If someone disagrees with me, fine. Just for a change though it would be cool if someone would at least take a glance at what the Project for a New American Century (or PNAC) is about, and who the signatories are...
