Default Our Flip-Flopping President

http://www.house.gov/appropriations_...ughtonfilm.htm

“Having been here and seeing the care that these troops get is comforting for me and Laura. We are -- should and must provide the best care for anybody who is willing to put their life in harm's way.” – Bush, 1/17/03


Bush's visit came on the same day that the Administration announced it is immediately cutting off access to its health care system approximately 164,000 veterans [W. Post, 1/17/03].
I can see why the military guys on this board love Bush so much...

"I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in."
~ George Stanley McGovern (1922-)
Democratic candidate for president in 1972

One of my favorite quotes for this day and age :happysad:

Thats a great quote.

Obviously there are times that war becomes unavoidable. Stopping genocide and imperialism is in everybody's best interest. Its frustrating, though, that sometimes humanitarian interests take a backseat to... anything. For example, if the war in Iraq had been presented to me on the basis of liberating a repressed people, I would likely have supported some sort of military intervention, preferably via a UN force.

Politicians=scum of the earth.

All the people that would make good presidents would never want to be president.

you sir are a retard. You are taking these two things out of context. Why don't you post the reasoning behind the cuts. I had a link somewhere. I will look for it tomorrow. You are grasping at straws like a blind man grasps for titties at a nudie bar. The truth owns you h:

Stop trying your liberal spin. This isn't the New York Times

We can either insult one another or we can discuss issues and policy. You chose insults, so go **** yourself. Seriously.

Is English not your first language? You're using alienate incorrectly. You probably meant malign.

Either way, I'm going to continue talking smack about Bush until I'm done. Engage me in debate or go away.
