I just think its funny that when we kicked Iraq out of Kuwait back in '91, everybody wanted to kill Saddam. The whole nation was in on that notion... for the most part.
Then when the World Trade Center was destroyed, everyone wanted blood. Kill Osama, they cried.
Well now Bush decides he's gonna take it all the way... and everybody starts pussing out and crying "War is Bad"
What do you want the UN to do about it? Give them economic sanctions? Inspect them once a year? Oh yeah... that was working.

what i find absolutely intruiging is all these countries that bitch and moan when whe go in somewhere to fix ****, and then we have liberia. this counrty has been raveged by civil war for some time, and we stayed back. nigeria was going to send forces in, but they didn't want to get hurt. do you see the french or the germans or the russians sending their troops in. no the whole tant sucking mother ******* ***** "civilized world" say " i think it's time for america to step in a try to take control of the situation". **** them, we take out a future global threat like iraq, and all they ****** do is look down on us, but when a counrty that is only attacking itself show civilians dying on TV its. send in the US we don't care if they die. **** THE WORLD AND ESPECIALLY **** EUROPE!!!!! didn't see them bitchin when saddam was gasing his own defensless people for sport. **** them and all you bleedding heart democrats who think we need to be more worried about gay rights than osama. and **** all the people in washington who couldn't make a worldwide military strategy if it was ******* handed to them. sorry i the whole liberia thing stabbed a nerve.

Let me start by saying, I don't affiliate myself with any party. I don't watch the news, and I no longer receive the newspaper. I don't know anything about politics, and I choose to be that way. I don't know the difference between the different parties. I don't even vote, because I'd rather be informed before I make a decision. It's my right not to.
That said, I have an honest question, and I'm looking for honest answers, not a bunch of bashing:
Why is it that (IT SEEMS) all the Republicans I meet always try to tell my why Republicans are better? I mean, it's like those religious people that try to recruit you all the time. They lecture me why everyone else is wrong, and why they're right. I've had teachers, good friends, and people I've just met all do this. As far as I can remember, I've never had someone tell me why Democrats are better, or lecture me on why I should be a democrat. I KNOW IT'S A GENERALIZATION, but so far it's held true for all Republicans I know (or at least the people that I know are republican). Is this just a coincidence? Once again, don't bash me, I'm not trying to insult anybody.

Want to see something funny? Go to either parties website. Nothing on their talks about what they stand for. They only say why their party is better and how the opposite party is bad...
I don't follow politics either. I chose not to because when I look at people that do they scare me. To me it forces a person on how to think. I know enough to say that both parties have good qualities and good ideas. However why can't a person be for both parties? I just think it is ignorant for a person to go right up to the voting booth and vote straight democrat or republican.

wow! someone who thinks like I do! Normally people just tell me I'm ignorant.
My wife's family has relatives in politics, and they've all been raised to be well-informed. Boy, do I catch hell when I talk about what I think of politics. I've learned to back away slowly from political conversations.
