"Mark Weaver, a lawyer for the Ohio Republican Party, said after the ruling by Judge Dlott and before the ruling by Judge Adams that the Republicans would ask the Sixth United States District Court of Appeals in Cincinnati to overturn it, The Associated Press reported."

And of course if that fails they'll take it to the Supreme Court, where Bush's buddies will be sure to give him a helping hand. It's starting already!!

Kapt,

I never said and don't believe Bush is responsible for all of our problems. But he hasn't done anything to make things better, and has done plenty to make things worse. Just my view, you're entitled to yours.


JFM,

Please tell me again how our war on terror has anything remotely whatsoever to do with Bush invading, conquering, and occupying Iraq?

I supported him 100% on Afghanistan, and would support military action anywhere he can demonstrate a bonafide threat or link to terrorism. He never made that case in Iraq, in my opinion, which I am entitled to.

I said right from the very beginning on Iraq, that he was scapegoating and politicizing the war on terror. He used the war on terror and 9-11 as a convenient excuse to go to war in Iraq, and capitalized on the emotions of the American people who wanted an enemy and a scapegoat, and who fits that bill better than Saddam Hussein? This was a calculated political ploy designed to put profits in the pockets of his biggest political contributors, gain political support from his base, and win further political support from his fundamentalist Christian constituency.

It never mattered wether Hussein had WMD's or not, or wether he was any kind of threat, or wether he had any links to terrorism. Bush knew he could sell people like you and Jon h. on his war because you are so hungry for revenge for 9-11, and you group all Muslims in the Middle East together, so you would all support him and thus solidify his political base. It's so obvious, and so elementary, how can you not see it?

We stayed out of WWII until we were attacked. We were working very hard to reach a diplomatic solution to our conflict with Japan. Despite the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was the right thing to do. War should never be undertaken unless absolutely necessary. When that point is reached is highly subjective, and depends on the specific situation. It requires a statesman and a diplomat, like FDR, or JFK, not an incompetent, short sighted, intellectually challenged huckster like GWB.

Going to war in Iraq at that point in time under the totality of those circumstances was morally and diplomatically wrong. The cost in bloodshed and our global standing has not been worthwhile, as we are no safer now than we were before we went in there. People like you just feel better, and Bush has built his campaign for president upon one of the greatest military and foreign relations blunders in all of American history.

Respectfully,

Jim

Mitch,

I believe in your rush to indict me, you failed to read what Icebuster posted BEFORE I posted that.

"John Kerry is a smarmy opportunist(just ask his wives). He has no core.
He will back stab anyone to get to the top of the heap. His fabricated testimony in 1971 was used by the NV to torture POW's and prolong their incarciration. He is a liar of the first order. He is a murderer and he is most especially......WEAK!

He met with and negotiated with enemies of America with no regard for those he left behind, he is a treasonous coward! He belongs in jail.

Get your issues fixed and watch the rest."


Typical conservative! You must take lessons from Ann Coulter!

"The content and points from everyone on the left here have been really weak. But what’s really pathetic is the delivery from you guys. Either you’re posting yourself to death, you’re posting conspiracy links/theories, you’re cutting and pasting opinion pieces from obscure websites, or you’re posting adolescent cheap shots. In between all that, you maybe tried to tackle a few real issues."

Why is it that when a conservative calls a decorated combat veteran and U.S. Senator a "murderer", a "liar", "weak", and a "treasonous coward", who "belongs in jail", that's OK, apparently you feel that is a substantive argument, but when I rebutt those false and slanderous, libelous accusations with this:

"Bush was a lazy, goldbricking, slacker in the ANG, who couldn't even show up for duty, and got away with it. Anyone else would have been locked up.

Bush and his cronies are guilty of election fraud. They belong in jail.

Bush is a war criminal in Iraq. 100,000 civilian casualties in a war that had no justification.

Bush belongs in jail.

Get your issues fixed and vote for Kerry on Tuesday!"

you call it an adolescant cheap shot? My allegations are every bit as valid as Icebusters, and were made in REPLY! You quote me completely out of context, and ignore what Ice posted FIRST! It's OK if a conservative does it, but not when it is turned back around on YOU, RIGHT!?!

Sorry, Mitch, I've said it before, TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!

If it's good enough for Icebuster to post,

THEN IT'S FAIR GAME FOR ME TO REPLY IN KIND!!!!!!

N@S, I don't know what your taking for pain meds, but I wish I had a couple of bottles. Mitch made a comment about the Libs rabid and rampant conspiracy theories, and 2 posts later, you go and prove him right! Way to go!

Baitboy,

Sit quietly, the grown ups are talking. :p

..."that murdering, sub-human, evil, coward who kills innocent people..."

...who kills innocent people.

Innocent People.

Are you getting this yet?

Killing innocent people.

Is that how we get REVENGE for our 3,000 innocent victims on 9-11? By killing 100,000 of THEIR innocent countrymen for something they had nothing to do with? For something that Bin Laden and 15 Saudis and the Taliban and Al-Qaeda did? Is that JUSTICE? Is that MORAL? Is that RIGHTEOUS? Is that what the United States of America stands for?
