These people are obviously pretty passionate about what they believe, and they have the right to post whatever they want on that site. Bush supporters of course won't agree with it, but that's life.

I heard about that the other day. It's sad, but I think he's defeating his own cause. Sure, he'll get attention for a few days, but what he did isn't going to help change things when 2008 rolls around.

I voted for Kerry. But I would never put my picture up there.

I'm not going to apologize for my actions, because I did the right thing, voting for Kerry. I'm not going to apologize for Bush voters, because I'm not responsible for them. And I'm sure as hell not going to write things like "I didn't vote for Bush, so please don't bomb my town." That's just pathetic.

You don't truly believe that he put that much effort or thinking into this course of action do you?

Nope, I'm sure he didn't. The guy obviously had lots of other problems to pull that kind of stunt. Defintely not a rational decision.

I nominate that guy for a political Darwin Award.

Wouldn't that be more along the lines of having Quayle as your running mate?

No, because having your name next to Quayle's wouldn't remove you from the gene pool.

If Bush supporters dislike the idea of that site so much, they can always put up one of their own saying that they are NOT sorry. You could have Bushies flipping the bird at the rest of the world or holding signs saying "You're next!"

Happy Monkey · 11-09-2004, 12:25 PM

If that site's not already up, I'd be shocked.

Very well said.

Mari, - that's the problem. Bush supporters didn't choose Bush to flip off the planet. We voted for the president of the US not the US ambassador to planet earth.

Sure, I get a warm and fuzzy when our prez is popular with other leaders but that sure as hell isn't the basis for my vote when I close the curtain. As a matter of fact, there are quite a few foreign leaders that I specifically don't want our president to have good relations with.

Had Bush lost, Kerry would enjoy my full support and I sure as heck wouldn't apologise to anyone on behalf of Kerry supporters.

We are America and we are Americans, dammit!

Well ... he was drunk and stupid. I don't know what pisses me off more ... his essential desecration of the Ground Zero site (even the firefighters who worked the pile aren't killing themselves there), his disregard of (yes, the ridiculous) firearms laws of NYC, or the fact that if he were out to make a political statement, why didn't he leave a fucking note.

So again, he's going down as just another dumbass drunk in my ledger.

So what you're saying is that America can go it alone. That we need minimal, if any, world support in the war on terror or in, lets face it, an increasingly global economy. Check your ego, if we don't work *with* the rest of the world instead of in spite of it, we're not going to accomplish what we need to. Why not make the effort to get as much of the world on our side as possible?
