Thanks for the numbers Cherry. Awesome report.. I copied it in an e-mail and sent it out to everyone on my list. :)<br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif

Well, enjoy spreaking half-truths, and contributing to the misinformation.<br><br>

I have no problem with the bashing, as long as it's taken in stride. It's the condescending, better-than-thou, "don't question the Five Elders" attitudes of that other forum that do not belong. This place is much friendlier. And the babes are hotter, too.<br><br>

well thank you, I certainly will.<br><br>OK, who are you really? new name new identity, but I seem to recognize the tone.<br><br>_________________________________________<br>http://www.geocities.com/djstefan/bush.gif

And the babes are hotter, too.<br><br>We have different babes?<br><br><br>

Shhh! I'm trying to schmooze them!!!<br><br>

Whether it "belongs" in this forum isn't really the issue. We have another forum here at MacMinute specifically designed for JUST Mac stuff. If you notice this is called the Lounge. Anything goes (almost).<br><br>I understand your point of view, and if you stick around you'll see these things come and go in cycles. After a while folks get tired of reading and writing these political threads that usually have the same opinions hashed over and over (point taken).<br><br>But.... the reason they keep coming up is because we are constantly thinking about it. Politics touches your life... a lot! There probably is and will be a lot of political threads this year because its an election year and this particular administration really polarizes people.<br><br>As others have already said, stick around and pick and choose your threads. There are a lot of people here that simply don't get involved in any political thread, even when its completely docile. As the title reads, "Grab a cup of your favorite brew and come on in." Talk about what YOU want to talk about. <br><br>

Gee, I know right, Amnesty International– how "just ignorant and childish"<br><br>What are you talking about man! You don't have to read my posts. You know, I am just passing along information from respected sources. What numbers did I "skew"? <br><br>I've posted this stuff in other places too. If it changes one person's mind, then I am happy. BTW, you're welcome Bird. Some people around here are like minded and do appreciate the info.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>The President's accomplishments are clearly left out of that list. I could go on an on about dozens of facts and figures that would put Bush in a good light too.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Honestly, I can not think of one thing. A lot of these "issues" do hit close to home for me and many other people. And besides looking at the numbers, I do think of the real lives lost and I do not understand why that is necessary.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>How about the number of innocent Iraquis murdered, tortured, and jailed before for the war? And after?<p><hr></blockquote><p>"and after", you said it yourself.<br><br>I am also independent, I am not sure when I said other wise.<br><br>http://web.amnesty.org/pages/usa-070104-action-eng<br><br>Whatever, this is boring. I won't change how you feel, don't open a post with my name on it– so sorry to bug you. <br><br>Hopefully next year at this time things will be better and all of us will be able to afford cool new machines and gadgets by apple.<br><br>

To those that like Bush, it's Bush bashing.<br><br>To those that don't like Bush, it's evidence to support a theory and rally the troops.<br><br>And to others of us, it's just data (in this particular case) to apply meaning how we see fit.<br><br>

Trust me, I am new. I've been reading the forums for a while, but finally decided to register.<br><br>Do I sound like somebody in your past? Mabye somebody that you may have drove off the boards with your blind hatred of everything that Bush does?<br><br>I swear, George Bush could rescue a baby from a burning building, and poeple would find SOME reason to complain about it.<br><br>Why can't we just make this a friendly place/<br><br>
