Ever notice how the right wing gets upset when a woman appears in our

political discussions? Bring up a woman and Billary and the boys get all

upset. Now bring a male character on the screen and... They just loved

So, you are retracting your statement that she has huge negatives

which can't be overcome?

He understood what he posted. It's obvious that you didn't.

I can't believe you call ME an idiot. Nobody wants to kill people like

Americans JUST for who they are and what they believe? So Saddam loved

us BEFORE we went after him? He never said all Americans are pigs and

should die?? Bin Laden got the date wrong??? Speaking of bin Laden,

what country does he own that we invaded? Most libs claim that the

terrorists now in Iraq came there because of the US. So if that's the

case, we didn't invade the "terrorists" country did we??

Oh, and someone DID invade America, you just have a very short memory.

Yeah, I hate Bush. And all those other pussy wankers you mentioned.

 

Do you really admire people like that?
