Yeah, he's a poor little fucktard then. For all of his anti-Bush leanings expressed, the guy is so dumb that he definitely will grow up to be another controlled cog in a rigged machine.

But, yeah, don't vote for Hillary Clinton in the '08 Democratic primaries. That's exactly what Bush/Cheney and their gentrified Klan are counting on people doing.

I joined the Politics Club at school today. I don't know crap about politics, so I figured I needed it, I got a couple friends to join with me.

Al Gore...

He's not as bad a guy as Clinton. As president, I don't think he would be quite as wholly for sale as Clinton was. It shouldn't take a genius to understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that Gore would have been a godsend compared to Bush, Jr. There would have been no 9/11 which would be great. To those of you for which that the last statement sounds nuts, I haven't got time for you anymore.

Al's done a fairly great job of making himself smell like roses with his climate change movie "An Inconvenient Truth," and subsequent press tour with all the proceeds, as he reminds, going to charity. He's got tons of black budget money anyway, folks. Do I trust Al Gore? Nope. Is he better than the other candidates if he decides to run? Yeah, he's better than most of them. Ask me again if he's in the race.

I laughed...

Anyway, Atari do you think Al Gore was a better choice? If so how?

hahahahaha.

i like al gore. his daughter got busted for drunk driving or something and tipper gave a public apology for it on TV and al and his daughter were in the background laughing. i like clinton too.

[static-harmony]

I like clinton, because while he was in office the economy was doing great.

[Cantankerous]

he also got gays into the military.

we've had a shitty foreign policy since god knows when though.

[static-harmony]

Yeah don't ask don't tell policy, I like it. But would be better if it did not matter.

[Cantankerous]

it would be better if it didn't matter but it's a start. george bush isn't going to do anything about it.

[static-harmony]

Yeah he actually wants to amend the constitution to ban gay marriages.

[Cantankerous]

i know that.

[static-harmony]

I don't buy any that he is a religious person, I just don't. Does any one buy that?

[atari 2600]

Not in the slightest. His whole deal is nothing but pageantry.

The president of Iran isn't religious either. It's all babble to herd the rabble.

Tomorrow, Bush & Ahmadinejad will both address the U.N which will sadly not deliver the hard-line that Iran needs to hear; instead the stage will officially be set to begin WWIII...as planned.

Kill all the Shi'ite clerics all over the world and you solve the problem. When there's a funeral for them, kill all the mourners, and so on, for as long as necessary. Of course, this admittedly monstrous policy will never be followed due to so-called ethics, but the real reason things cannot be this simply resolved is that the U.S. Government has been engaging in some "hard work" to scare up another real enemy so that the pigs at the top can skim from military budgets like they did during the Cold War with the then Soviet Union.

huh? I'm lost atari, you lost me at the last part.

[atari 2600]

Shi'ite clerics are the fuel that burn the terrorist fire. It was a single Shi'ite cleric that wrote a book that called for jihad against all Zionist nations that has now become like gospel to Shi'ites and has spread to many other tribes as well. They are sworn enemies of the United States that use religious propaganda to brainwash poor and dejected people. They teach their children from an early age that the greatest thing one can do with your life is to become a suicide bomber.They are pure evil and all must die.

Our actions in the middle east in Iraq, and to a lesser extent, Afghanistan, have done nothing but increase the power of the Shi'ite tribe. What's worse is that all this was all planned to occur so that there would be a real sizeable terrorist enemy to fight. Our government has been convertly allied with these fuckers ever since Reagan.

[static-harmony]

But what about Americans who are the same? Does that mean to kill all Americans as well? You know all Americans and Shi'ite's don't think the same.

[atari 2600]

Fuck a Shi'ite cleric. Fuck their followers and all sympathizers.
This is the war we should be fighting.

That's my only one really, hypertonic. It ends the rape and plunder opportunism of corrupt career politicians, solves the whole campaign finance reform question and the influence that PACs have, and opens us up to a citizen government. The increased amount of elections and the hope it would bring America would also lend itself to more people being active in politics.

Has anyone seen the trailer for Robin Williams' "Man of the Year?" The clip is about a comedian (Williams, of course) who becomes President (I think he wins).

In the ad, there's this great line where he's presumably asked about his qualifications and experience and answers, "Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often, and for the same reasons (they are full of shit)."

Maybe the idea I've been railing about for a couple of years on the message board isn't all that much of a pipe dream after all.

[static-harmony]

Yeah politicians should be changed often, too much power corrupts them.

I'm not sure the World Trade Center attack would've been prevented if Gore had won the 2000 election, as atari 2600 said...

ABC's recent "docudrama" Path To 9/11 basically made the whole thing out to be the Clinton administration's fault...I'm not sure that's true, either...

I voted Democrat in the last election not becuz I wanted Kerry to win-I voted for him becuz I wanted Bush to lose. I doubt I'll vote Democrat in the 2008 election, becuz frankly a 2-party system serves to do nothing but polarize...the Democrats have been hijacked by whiners who keep giving themselves less and less credibility and the Repubilcans have been hijacked by religious zealots who seek to control every aspect of our lives.

It's threads like this that make me miss tesla69...when he, khchris, and atari 2600 got into a political thread, you knew it would turn out to be an entertaining read...especially when jfreimark and even, on occasion, chabib got involved....
