are you serious? democratic bracelets? this crap is getting out of control. the bracelts started out supporting CANCER, SUPPORT THE TROOPS. something that actually means something. but come on, if i saw someone wearing a democratic bracelet, i would be sick to my stomache. for christs sake, wear something that actually has meaning, not just political standing you democratic morons!!!

okay wow, Bush supporters are ignorant?! this just amazes me that you said that...I'm so glad that MTV did the whole "Rock the Vote" thing, but they were the ones that only used their 30 seconds news flashes to talk about Kerry and anti-Bush. Most of the new voters were so uniformed about the candidates and issues, that they were the ignorant ones. So you cant really say that all the votes for Bush were ignorant and Kerry didnt have any ignorant votes himself...

I think many Bush supporters are ignorant, for the fact that they support someone like him. But I guess they just have different values from me. And anyway I said "I like to believe" meaning it's not necessarily because of ignorance that they vote for Bush but because they trully support him(share the same values).

you know WHY we have all this debt? its because we go to these poor countries and help them out and dont ask anything in return.


Yeah like why don't we tell all the poor countries to **** off! It's their fault if they are dying because of hunger and diseases, they deserve it! Lazy *******s!

well, I can see why BigSlick said this. Take South Asia for instance - we helped them in a tremendous way after the tsunami, yet they still hate us. Yes, someone had to help them, but these were the people dancing in the streets after 9/11. But we still have people here in the US living in FEMA trailers 7 months after Hurricane Ivan because they dont have a home...

no, clearly from americas eyes, you know the people that voted him in, he was the better man. if kerry was the better man than he would have won


I like to believe that lots of those votes(for Bush) were out of ignorance...it's too sad to think otherwise...

since when have democrats cared about America? they care more about other countries liking us then they do our own people liking america. michael moore is a prime example. he hates america. through and through. most democrats do, they hate america more then the arabic people do and thats alot.

This is just...not true. The fact that Michael Moore questions the governments actions just goes to show how much he loves his country. Sitting back and watching without doubting anything the government does because of fear of being told you hate the US is the most unpatriotic thing you can do. If you don't ever question the goverments actions these will never change.

Respect actually. with fear they will stab you in the back the second they get a chance.

how did iraq pose a threat. lets see. who was thier leader? im not even going to answer this one because i feel stupid even talking about it but when you give me the answer then you would have answered your own retarded question.

Yeah they were going to attack us with their WMDs!

we liberated iraq. or did you not want this? has the country of iraq done something to you? do they not deserve freedom from a tyranous leader...

This is what you republicans ALWAYS do. As soon as someone questions the war you turn it around and say things like this...it's pathetic. Of course they didn't deserve Saddam, that is obvious. But why hadn't we "liberated" them before then?(if that's in fact the reason for the war, wich I believe it isn't). Saddam had been in power for years already, why did Bush suddenly decide to "liberate" them?

quote:

sorry to break the news to you but there are countries out there that dont like you cause your american. thats who we defend the country against. it may not be as clear cut as the war in iraq but they are out there. now i may not put my life on the line every day like the army and marines out there, but i have stared into the eyes of many people that would cut my throat had the opportunity arose. so if you want to have a logical debate about military and why we have it, please be my guest.

they hate us for a reason you know? Lots of people on this site seem to feel like such victims "oh they hate me simply because I'm American"...You'd do good to think about this, what have we done to cause all this hatred. And yes WE have done something...They didn't simply wake up one day and think "oh we're going to hate Americans", this is our fault.


Word of advice, divide your post into paragraphs.

I don't know for sure that Gore would have retaliated for the 9/11 attacks, just as you don't know if he would not have responded. However, it only makes sense that when your country is attacked, then you respond. I'm a democrat and I think that. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of democrats agree.

Ilovebush, surprised that you agree with slick considering he said your two heros, the pope and Bush, lie.

nicely said BigSlick. Its nice to hear someone that is actually on my side.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, break up your rants into smaller, more easily digestible pieces! I looked at your last post and read the first and last sentences, which didn't help me understand it at all, let me tell you. To my eyes, it's just a big chunk of...TEXT!! Many smaller chunks I can live with but not...that.

oh please. first off maxno,(insert sarcasm) that hurts. really. it does. for the fact that you wasted time to type that just shows that you are pathetic and should be taken out back and shot in the head. bluedemocrat, what makes you think that gore would have done anything. since when have democrats cared about America? they care more about other countries liking us then they do our own people liking america. michael moore is a prime example. he hates america. through and through. most democrats do, they hate america more then the arabic people do and thats alot. and these intel reports huh? just because CNN tells you that they told the prez whatever, the day, hour, minute and second of when they would have attacks doesnt mean its true. in fact i dont care what the reports say, its in the past. wmd. theres a fun topic. what do any of you know about wmd? ok so we didnt find what we were looking for, maybe im going out on a limb here but could the have possible MOVED them before we got there? it did take us a while to have NATO inspect the area for those and we did see alot of large vehicles moving from the places we suspected they were, but nah....that means nothing right? ok japan could come and buy the west coast blah blah blah but they dont. they know what we did to them and they are scared. which is more powerful respect or fear? now im not talking in the whole Hitler fear sense but fear of military. we dont have to flex the military muscle to japan to keep them at bay, they just know. we have more of a military force over in japan right now then they do thoughout their entire country. so weve been in debt for how many years now? since the damn jackson administrtion probably. it doesnt matter how much debt we have, it doesnt effect you does it? you know WHY we have all this debt? its because we go to these poor countries and help them out and dont ask anything in return. it will never happen so im not complaining about it. yeah go ahead and lower military spending, close down all the bases on both coasts and well see how many attacks we have on the US. the coastal bases are the only things that keep the US in good standing order. My base for example controls from northern cali up to alaska. my pay is not part of the national debt. welfare on the other hand is. along with every other hand out this country gives to lazy people. how did iraq pose a threat. lets see. who was thier leader? im not even going to answer this one because i feel stupid even talking about it but when you give me the answer then you would have answered your own retarded question. i didnt say thank bush for giving you computers to talk about. im said be thankful this country lets you do that. did i say "fact:george bush was a better man!"? no, clearly from americas eyes, you know the people that voted him in, he was the better man. if kerry was the better man than he would have won, if you want a commie traitor as your president, move to cuba or china. yes kerry lied, and yes bush lies. everyone does. im sure the pope (god rest his soul) has lied. dont you lie? i know i do. its a human reaction. it happens. we liberated iraq. or did you not want this? has the country of iraq done something to you? do they not deserve freedom from a tyranous leader...oh wait hes not a bad guy. we just picked him out of a line up and said "yeah we want to attack his country" we defend our country from people that hate and want to kill us. not everyone is all nice and happy. sorry to break the news to you but there are countries out there that dont like you cause your american. thats who we defend the country against. it may not be as clear cut as the war in iraq but they are out there. now i may not put my life on the line every day like the army and marines out there, but i have stared into the eyes of many people that would cut my throat had the opportunity arose. so if you want to have a logical debate about military and why we have it, please be my guest.

I hate you BigSlickAK. You *******.

Gore would have retaliated for the 9/11 attacks. Actually, the attacks may not have occured because Gore might have had the sense to read intelligent reports.

quote:

he wanted to cut military spending and military numbers, but i forgot, thats how you WIN wars. by getting rid of the military. how could i be so stupid

Didn't your momma ever tell you that economic might is the way to go these days? Sure, we (the US) can run around popping everyone one in the nose, but if Japan, for instance, decided they didn't like us, they could pretty much buy out the whole West Coast and start moving in. Why? Because Japan owns quite a lot in US stocks and bonds and companies. It's not just about muscle, boy. Besides, what use is a top-notch military if you're in debt up to your eyeballs? Lowering military spending would cut that big ol' deficit right down to size. That is, unless you feel like coughing up the twenty grand that makes up your part of the national debt?

I asked you this once before and I'll ask again, how exactly did Iraq pose a threat to us? What exactly are we "standing up to"?

does it make you feel all warm on cozy to sit behind a computer and talk crap about bush? be thankful that u can do that, other countries would have you killed.

It is not thanks to Bush that we can do this. Sure I'm thankful, just not to Bush.

quote:

he was clearly the better man (and thats not from a rep. stand point)

yes it is from a Republican point of view, don't lie. To me Kerry was the better man. That is your opinion so don't say it like it's a fact.

quote:

kerry was a flat out liar.

It's funny for someone who supports Bush(a liar) to say that. This all comes back to the Iraq war and it's reasons(WMDs...where are they?).

quote:

and back on the subject of us speaking arabic, since gore probably wouldnt have retaliated and wouldnt have gone to war, the terrorists would have more than likely taken out more of the US.

I'm sure that would've happened...

quote:

but you know thats ok just as long as we dont send our troops over some place to defend the country.

Defend the country from want? We probably have more enemies now than before the war started. And anyway I thought the reason for the war was to liberate the Iraqis...?

oh so you people think that gore would have stood up and fought for this country. he wanted to cut military spending and military numbers, but i forgot, thats how you WIN wars. by getting rid of the military. how could i be so stupid. i know that bush has f'ed up a bit, but so has every other prez in one way or another. clinton is a fine example. jfk another. nixon. they all have their follies. does it make you feel all warm on cozy to sit behind a computer and talk crap about bush? be thankful that u can do that, other countries would have you killed. like i said. he won the election. i would apologize for it but i have no reason to. he was clearly the better man (and thats not from a rep. stand point) kerry was a flat out liar. thats why you dont hear about him anymore. no one cares about him and it showed come election day, at least he accepted his defeat unlike gore. heres a novel idea, lets waste all of americas money to re-count the votes 1000 times over untill either my opponent dies or just gives up. yeah thats the way to make the american people like you. and back on the subject of us speaking arabic, since gore probably wouldnt have retaliated and wouldnt have gone to war, the terrorists would have more than likely taken out more of the US. but you know thats ok just as long as we dont send our troops over some place to defend the country. so buh bye LA, seattle, NY almost any major city, hello osama. thats what would have happened if gore would have been elected

Yeah, the Democrate bracelets are over the top, they should have stopped at Livestrong to be quite honest but, take a look around. There are Republican bracelets, and just about everything else in the book!

quote:

hes probably doing a better job than both kerry and gore put together. we would all be speaking arabic right about now if gore was in office.

Hahah...what idiot said this again?

hes probably doing a better job than both kerry and gore put together. we would all be speaking arabic right about now if gore was in office.

Arabic? I fail to see the connection. And you can't possibly know how well Gore and/or Kerry would do in office because they haven't been in office. It's merely your prejudice against Democrats talking there.

what do you mean by that? If it means we have to shut up and stop questioning Bush then I won't do it.

actually im a pretty big republican. im just sick of the whole political race. incase anyone hasnt told people george bush won the election, like it or not and hes here for the next 4 years. DEAL WITH IT!!!! hes probably doing a better job than both kerry and gore put together. we would all be speaking arabic right about now if gore was in office.

Might I give my opinion?

I) The bracelets were a good idea at first, but soon they became a trend, and many people would only wear them because they were everybody else was wearing them.
II) Wearing several bracelets is O.K., but not if you're doing so to be 'in'.
III) Democrats and Republicans are most probably using the bracelets as an attempt to A) Boost financial support B) Increase interest in politics in the crowd that follows the crowd.
IV) What's so bad about Hot Topic bracelets?
