Running the clips back to back showed that he just lied. Bartlett hemmed

and
hawed about that and said the question was still open, but Cheney's words
definitively said it was NOT open -- it was CONFIRMED (in case anyone

missed
it the first time) that Atta met with Iraqi intelligence.

These ******* Republicans have got to go.


Let's face it, Walt, lying is what they do best....and accusing their
opponents
of lying is what they do second best. It seems to be the nature of the
beastie.

If either one of you were unbiased or even had an open mind you would see ALL
sides, including Democrats, doing exactly the same sort of things you blame the
Republicans for.

Both of you should take your Republican and Bush bashing elsewhere. This is a
military aviation newsgroup.

Yeah. The only thing that could be worse is if we had a bunch of
limp-wristed, pacifist, liberal democrates instead.


Funny how people can back someone who checked "do not volunteer" on his
paperwork, and denigrate a decorated veteran who volunteered for Viet Nam and
was wounded 3 times.

But you mean like this limp-wristed, pacifist, liberal democrates [sic]?

"In a combat environment often requiring independent, decisive action LTJG
(Lieutenant Junior Grade) Kerry was unsurpassed. He constantly reviewed tactics
and lessons learned in river operations and applied his experience at every
opportunity. On one occasion while in tactical command of a three boat
operation his units were taken under fire from ambush. LTJG Kerry rapidly
assessed the situation and ordered his units to turn directly into the ambush.
This decision resulted in routing the attackers with several enemy KIAs.

LTJG Kerry emerges as the acknowledged leader in his peer group. His bearing
and appearance are above reproach. He has of his own volition learned the
Vietnamese language and is instrumental in the successful Vietnamese training
programs.

During this period of this report LTJG Kerry has been awarded the Silver Star
medal, the Bronze Star medal, the Purple Heart medal (2nd and 3rd awards).

Be proud of yourself when the second american reolution (back to the
constitution) happens. You played your part in getting Atlas to Shrug.

OK, Art. Put up. What part of the Constitution is no longer intact?
What has been fractured and by what specific Bush action? Have your
rights been impaired? Are you going to bring up the PATRIOT act? How
has that impacted your freedom. Have you been incarcerated? Censored?
Abused? Religously restricted? Have your taxes been raised? Is your
economy improving after the damage of 9/11? Is unemployment down,
productivity up?

Oh, you'd rather redistribute the wealth of the wage-earners to the
welfare queens and coke dealers.



Here's the difference between a Democrate and Republican. A Democrate
with a million dollars would give the bottom 100 million on the wage
chart each a penny (have to have the equality thing, no favortism
etc.) effectively helping nobody and accomplishing nothing but ****ing
away a million dollars, adding themselves to the welfare-cheese line,
and then bitching because the government isn't supporting him. A
Republican would give $10,000 to ten dirt-poor people and keep the
other $900,000 of his hard-earned cash for himself. How is this
better? Those ten people will be able to actually make their lives
better, the rich guy will stay off the welfare charts AND he's still a
happy camper.





Stop sloganeering and support your contention.

Hey, you've got a misspelled word there......that'd be R E P U B L I C A N E.
Let's not be giving away that we snoozed in spelling class.
