HaHa... sometimes I guess I lean a little too much on the knowledge base other boards have built with my posts there. You guys aren't familiar with me, so I guess I should fill out my bio or something... meh... I suppose that's not going to matter, since just prior to being labeled a (R) ass-kisser I'd stated I don't vote (R)...
hmmm.... Let's see... I brought up the Kosovo bombing smoke-screen to address someone else's point regarding how harmless that particular blow-job was in human terms. In short, it wasn't, so it was relevant. Why am I addressing you, again, Anti? Did you read this thread completely yet?
Anyhoo...
Kevin, when you say partisan I think "Ditto-Head." I suppose if one wants to vote the party line, but then accompany that with internal party policy shaping, that's Ok... Partisan connotes rabid, thoughtless agreeance to me, and I don't generally support that. Maybe you are thinking of the term that describes a fervent soldier for a righteous cause, but I hear unreasoning, unthoughtful, blind allegiance. I know you aren't giving up your right to independent thought, so I'm gonna stop splitting that hair... I'll just know what that word means when you say it from now on...
Max, I agree on Clinton. I'll also say that it would be very interesting to find a parallel universe where 9/11 hadn't happened, and W's entire presidential career was defined by his internal policies. I guess that's why I have such strong opinions on the left's current infatuation with the Iraq war. No matter how much suspicion these endless dubious claims raise, at the end of the day, the majority of Americans are sick of the idea that war and terror will ALWAYS be a part of life thanks to the restless inhabitants of a tiny part of the world and their insistence on living lives based on hate. Most folks are happy that at least SOMETHING is finally being done to stop the endless turmoil in the middle east, as I'm sure, at least deep down, most of you are.
Nit-picking every little detail and constantly having these gloom and doom predictions proven wrong is just marginalizing the voice of the left. If anything ever actually turns up that really makes Team W look bad, Joe Six Pack is going to be so sick of baseless accusations your real dirt's gonna get ignored. Why fight a losing battle over Iraq when there's a mountain of actual winnable fights back here?
Oh yeah... he's behaving like a (D) on the homefront. The only thing the left CAN criticize is the war they'd never have fought. You guys are stuck crying "Wolf-owitz" at every little turn in the road to building a better Bagdhad because W is just a God-fearin' Texas Clinton (without the head in pants syndrome) when it comes to taxing and spending and growing government.
Kev, let’s definitely talk about civil liberties and their impending death, no matter whose party is at the helm. Let’s talk about spending and how our current president is doing more of that than any of the the last several decades. Let’s NOT repeat falsehoods like “The Biggest Deficit Ever” because we all know that deficits are only valid when viewed as a percentage of GNP… and we don’t want to look like a bunch of partisans now, do we? Especially when there’s so much other GOOD stuff to talk about…
Ok… I’m gonna go back to being a Libertarian now. It feels all creepy thinking like a Liberal…
I personally WANT the Democratic Party to get back on track and resume their quest for a Socialist Paradise in these 50 states. Not because I share those desires (hardly,) but because that’s gotta happen, along with the Republican Party’s shift to the left, to make room for MY agenda reaching the teeming masses. Hehe…

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
