I don't think obtuse means what you think it means. I think you meant to call me gullible, which I am not.

Nader is a smart guy with a long history of shining a huge spotlight on people he thinks are doing something wrong. In this case, he has found a pile of evidence from multiple government sources, American and British, that suggest that President Bush knew he was wrong -- lying, in fact -- to the world in order to garner support for an invasion. I understand that not everyone is as angry as I am, but how are you not curious to know the truth?

If you are truly a patriot, how are you not curious to know if the President needlessly endangered and lost many American lives? Is your patriotism reserved for your party instead of your country? How are you not even asking questions? Are you a patriot or a puppet?

A good friend of mine is a Marine, and he's pretty sure he's going to be sent to Iraq. I'm scared shitless that he's going to be injured or killed, and I'm angry as hell that President Bush is putting him in that position for no reason.

This is whats called a "straw man." It means that you throw out a piece of information thats unrelated to the topic at hand in order to divert attention from the fact that you don't have a counter-argument. I'm not impressed.
