Nathan Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='Feb 3 2006, 09:49 AM']I used to be more sympathetic to the left than I am now, because the level of their hatred towards not just the president, but their own country, is just sickening.[right][snapback]874334[/snapback][/right][/quote] I think you're actually going to start seeing more and more young people supporting Bush over the next couple of years. Because Bush-hating has become so mainstream -- and hence, no longer controversial -- many kids aren't finding the stance as exciting or "cool" as it used to be. And really, how cool can something be when even your parents are joining in? What is REALLY controversial right now among young people is saying, "I support Bush." That takes guts. You want to be a rebel, shake things up? Be a vocal Bush supporter.
Cow of Shame Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 [quote name='Nathan' date='Feb 3 2006, 10:27 AM']Every single time Padre posts some new revelation about the "corruption" of George W. Bush, the members of Phatmass systematically pick it apart and prove it to be a false charge. Yet he keeps on persisting... It's time to get a new hobby, Padre. Get off the Bush-bashing bandwagon. It's so tired and mainstream. [right][snapback]874259[/snapback][/right] [/quote] What hobby would you prefer he have? Pope bashing?

[right][snapback]874359[/snapback][/right] [/quote] You know I would love to respect the opinions of the ardent Bush supporters on the Phorum. But I have yet to see any criticism of Bush met with "You know I can see that". Have there been some goofy criticisms of Bush? Yup. This topic of this thread is a good example. I have plenty of real life friends who are Bush supporters. But they recognize the fact that he (as we all do) has done some things worthy of criticism. They will even admit to the fact that Bush has done some things that drive them crazy. But as I've said, none of the Bush backers here would ever dare have the temerity to admit to that.
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Ardent Clinton supporters will not admit that Clinton ever did anything inappropiate or wrong while in office.....

[right][snapback]874427[/snapback][/right] [/quote] So that makes it all ok then? I'm saying its impossible to take these opinions seriously when the attitude is " He can do no wrong"
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 I'm saying the same thing about Clinton and his supporters.
cmotherofpirl Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Of course Bush makes mistakes , but we are tired of hearing he is the devil incarnate and responsible for everything wrong from A to Z. Why is Congress never blamed?
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 And why won't Congress work for the good of the people instead of being lazy and selfish?

[right][snapback]874444[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yeah you mentioned that already. And I'm saying its not right for either camp. I can't respect the opinion of an ardent Clinton supporter any more than an ardent Bush supporter if they can't recognize some of the failings as well. But since there is a shortage of pro clinton threads it seems to be a moot point on the Clinton thing. I'm asking if anyone dares to break rank and state something critical about Bush?
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 He's Protestant....That's one downfall of his Sorry...I couldn't resist.

jezic Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 It is getting rather old. Though all of capitol hill could grow up and stop behaving like babies. Then maybe just maybe we would see a bunch of good stuff come out of Washington.

Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 Is it me, or do we have a senate full of ignorant people? My gripe against the democrats in office is that they'll shoot things down, but won't try and come up with any ways to solve any problems.

And not just at the federal level. I can count on finger the number of politicians I respect. If that.
jezic Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 politics need reform (at least i think so) how about the athenian thing where they don't get paid
Winchester Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 they're all rich. they're all going to stay rich. they don't give a shinobi, it's all an act.
