So we finally hear from linduh ....I didn't think we would because besides getting on the cover of Time and starting another Vietnam, bush really hasn't accomplished anything constructive.
And, as usual, linduh cannot face the truth so goes after the poster rather than the post.
Her "twelve" excuse(this time) for not addressing my posts or the topic is that I'm not credible.
Well, sorry, linduh, that stupid remark doesn't prove anything except that "twelve" has to do your thinking for you.
Oh, and linduh is SO civil.....but did you notice( I have pointed this out before) her underhanded , deviousness in using someone else's post to do her dirty work ......?
"""And yes, classicrock, your description of cf's use of magazines as napkins, was right on.""""

linduh posts...."""""""(Reuters) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and his clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said Sunday.
Time chose Bush "for sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters this time around that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years," Jim Kelly wrote in the magazine.
Bush was also Time's choice to appear on the cover in 2000 after winning the presidential election despite losing the popular vote.
"Obviously many supporters of the president will be pleased, many people who do not support the president will probably sigh," Kelly said.
"But even those who may not have voted for him will acknowledge that this is one of the more influential presidents of the last 50 years." """"
HERE"S ANOTHER ONE SHE WON'T ANSWER......
linduh, WHERE in that blurb does it say one COMMENDABLE, POSITIVE, GOOD, DECENT, thing bush has done.
READ it , linduh
Uh, it's a publicity gimmick created by Time and does not pick the nicest most honorable person for the photo but, for better or worse, the person who has most influenced events in the preceeding year. Bush qualifies as he has killed and maimed so many people, affecting countless more lives.
It does not mean he is a great man or honorable man as we all know the truth of this devil personified

Boy....the ultra-ultra left hatefilled posters sure are coming out from under the base-boards. No surprise there. Didn't win? .. take it out on those who supported the WINNER...by a vote of the people.
sore losers and hatefilled is all you are.
-------
Novak had it right a few months back.....the hate coming from the democrat party is and has been much different than they've EVER shown.
---
In the past, liberals made a point of hating hatred. They imagined that the forces of hate were entirely on the other side: "Right-wing hate merchants." Now they have begun publicly to glory in hate, first writing articles explaining why hatred of Bush is okay, then being pleasured by the ferocity of their own hatred, then competing with others to see who can voice the most intense disdain, and who can curl from his lips the most deliciously forbidden insults. The Left has engaged in an orgy of hatred. And enjoyed it, really enjoyed it.
that certainly is shown to be true here from several of the 'lefties' postings.
WHY BUSH?
When one looks at Bush, and then at the hatred nurtured for him, it is very hard to grasp the connection. Why? Why do they hate him so?
There is something so innocent, direct, fresh-faced, open, Tom Sawyerish in George Bush's manner — something so western, Christian, decent, even kind. And there is such candor in his eyes and behavior that the ferocity of the hatred aimed at him seems completely out of proportion. The hatred is a suit that ill fits him. Nevertheless, George W. Bush has been re-conceived and re-wrought into everything that the sophisticated Leftist absolutely hates about Americana: Its innocence. Its boyishness. Its Christianity. Its unpretentiousness. Its heedlessness of all the shibboleths the Left most highly values.
And, in addition, the president exercises unsuspected political skills. The man has actually won most of the political fights he's taken on. And he has turned the country in a far more Reaganite direction than anyone ever imagined under that anodyne term, "compassionate conservatism."
Personalizing Social Security? Cutting the teachers' unions out of total control of the schools? Supplanting the governmental plantation with private charitable initiatives, which actually show better success rates than the welfare state?
The handwriting is on the wall, piercing through the dreams of the big-government Left, foretelling the end of the social-democratic illusion.
How did this hick have the nerve to be so radical in government — he who so barely won the election of 2000? (Stole it, the most bitter partisans still say, despite all the studies disproving it.) How did he have the nerve?
The Right tends to think that the Left is stupid — never learns, keeps repeating the same old errors. The Left is different. The Left tends to think that the Right is mean, narrow, selfish, evil (on top of being stupid). I once had a professor at Harvard who was trying to explain what it was like for Immanuel Kant, the greatest philosopher of his time, to have succeeded in winning a teaching position only in Konigsberg, far from the glittering list of leading universities in Germany. That would be, he said, like winning tenure at...at...at Ohio State. (So superior do Harvard professors feel toward Middle American universities.) In this spirit, the Left also thinks the congenitally evil, conservative Bush is also stupid and second-rate.
Who is Bush to drive the last nails into the coffin of social democracy, and all those big-government dreams? The Left can feel the demography slipping away from them, and the strong currents of the future, too, and the bilious taste of failed ideas rising in their throats. It is now or never for the Left. It is desperation time.
THE GREAT PRETENDERS
The Left has always had to disguise, cover over, be silent about its most dynamic left-wing momentum and ultimate purposes. It has always called its left-wingers (like Ted Kennedy) "moderates." Its socialists are described as "liberals," its liberals as "middle-of-the-roaders" or "pragmatists." Its turbo-charged source of inner energy is not the socialist dream, but only "the vital center."
On the left, there are no "ultra-leftists." "Ultra" is a term reserved for the Right.
At election time, the Left pretends to be more religious than it really is, and more centrist than it has any desire ever to be. It cannot succeed without donning masks. It cannot flourish without telling the most awful lies about its opposition, and even about itself. Learning how to be a (successful) leftist is to learn elaborate codes of speech and instruments of disguise.
Conservatives may be hypocrites, in not living up to standards to which they repair (and more credit to them for holding to standards better than they are, in whose light their own faults are mercilessly made clear). But they almost never harbor any ideology about the future, which they would have to disguise. Most are defending the way things have been, are, and should properly be in America. Marx may call this "false consciousness" in service to an un-admitted ideology, but in fact conservatives are simply people who think their grandparents and earlier ancestors were at least as wise as, even wiser than, they.
Then, too, the Left has developed a tic about neoconservatives. again as stated here so many, many times.
These former leftists (for a former leftist is what a neoconservative is, of the first generation anyway) do have a vision of the future, a bright vision to rival that of the Left. They fight the Left, ideology for ideology, policy proposal for policy proposal, class analysis for class analysis. The neoconservatives side with the conservatives on most issues, but with an attitude, and an aim, and a determination. They are, in the life of the intellect, warriors. Their sharpest weapon is the reality check. That is their comparative advantage over the Left. They have been "mugged by" and won over to reality. The Left has lost argument after argument to the neoconservatives for the past 20 years — has proved to be on the wrong side of reality on issue after issue — and hence reserves for the neoconservatives a special loathing.
George W. Bush turns out to have been far closer to the neoconservatives (though he is not one) than Ann Richards and Al Gore ever believed possible. True enough, he is no intellectual, and would not want to be one. Still, his mind is quicker, of a more tempered steel, and honed to a more acute practicality than lazy-minded leftists before 2001 ever allowed themselves to imagine. They "misunderestimated" him then, and still do.
George Bush wants to change the country's direction. He wants each person to own and to be able to will to his children the unused portion of his Social Security. He wants to make personal responsibility the central principle of our common life. He wants a more compassionate, initiative-taking citizenry, less passive and less dependent upon government. Help for the needy, but not help that is that is condescending and incapacitating.
VOTE FOR HOPE
By contrast, the Democrats love the dependency of citizens on government and wish constantly to increase that dependency, as the key to their own power, the shepherds over the sheep. Listen closely when they talk about health care or education; you will hear "government" and new "dependency" loud and clear. The Democrats are fighting to preserve their big-government state. An old idea, a tired idea, an illusory idea.
With half the presidential race to go, George Bush is still talking about responsibility, bravery, hope, and opportunity as he did before 2000. Following Howard Dean, though, the Democrats have discovered the illicit pleasures of hatred. Hatred has empowered their campaign, lifting it from nowhere to a close race.
The Democrats will try to hide this. As the election proceeds, John Kerry will put new skins on his arms and alter his voice and mimic George Bush on just about everything — conservative values, hope, opportunity, his policies in Iraq: the same as Bush's. He will be the "me, too" candidate. That has already begun.
Beneath the surface, though, everyone will feel the heat of hate. The Democrats cannot help themselves. I am not at all sure that their hatred will defeat them. But it ought to.

I will continue to defend myself when ever anyone decides to attack me.. whether you like it or not..
Now as far as being sore about my candidate not winning the election goes.. let me once more try to get it through your thick republican skulls...
I am not sore about Kerry losing the election..
I never said that he was my choice to lead the Democrat party...but I am ashamed of you calling a man who fought in a war for his country a traitor.. when your coward candidate hid behind his daddy's money and stayed home, just as his daughters are doing in this war.. deja vu...
what I am sore about, to use your words.. is about having a war monger, re-elected....and feeding our youth to his war,like so many pounds of meat through a meat grinder... a war that he was in such a big hurry to declare...as dumb as dirt.. jumps in before even considering the consequences of such a rash act. So until he sends his own daughters, to be killed along with the rest.. I will continue to disrespect him.
Linda, I do know that a persons word is their honor.. but I also believe a person has the right and the common sense to change their mind, if it is necessary or if they have become enlightened...

Get over it Linda. This has nothing to do with the election results. We are over that (or at least I am).
Why time chose Bush I will never know. Why they would pick someone who misled the American people about the war, someone who does not have strategy about the current situation in Iraq other than "stay the course", someone who did not properly support the troops by giving them what they need to fight HIS WAR, someone who had to be persuaded by the majority of Americans before he acts (creating the Homeland security department, establishing the 9/11 commission, creating the CIA Czar just to name a few), someone who has created the biggest deficit in American history and know because he was elected is trying to cut the deficit, someone who is despised across the globe.
Bush is not a leader. He is running this country like he ran his failed businesses, only this time there is no one to help bail him out or can you bankrupt the federal governement?

logansdad - I was referring to the hateful comments many [most] on the ultra left spew at posters who hold different political views. They are hatefilled....and supported a loser.
Obviously The Times disagrees with how you and other lefties here see President Bush when they said:
(Reuters) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's bold, uncompromising leadership and his clear-cut election victory made him Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2004, its managing editor said Sunday.

----
It's already clear many here don't support this President's re-election. That is not how the majority of voters felt though. And those who are unhappy with his re-election will be living through it whether they like it or not....and that frustration appears to me to be an effect of why they can't be civil in their postings....why they're hateful. Nothing to do with the Times article.
-------------------
maggie says: but I am ashamed of you calling a man who fought in a war for his country a traitor.. when your coward candidate hid behind his daddy's money and stayed home, just as his daughters are doing in this war...
President Bush was given an HONORABLE DISCHARGE for serving, as did many during the VN war, his country. No coward there. Had he been called on to serve he would have...he wasn't. kerry's request for a draft deferment, that was denied, is something you lefties continue to ignore. And he was a traitor to all who served when he returned home. Should have been tried for treason then. But good ol' Carter most likely was responsible for him not being tried. He was no hero - as the left tried so hard to make him appear. He got out of VN within 16 weeks...while other men served their full terms....they weren't cowards like he was.
what I am sore about, to use your words.. is about having a war monger, re-elected
You can be sore all you want...didn't change the outcome of this past election because most were able to see the democratic party doesn't have what it takes to protect this country. President Bush does.
Linda, I do know that a persons word is their honor..but I also believe a person has the right and the common sense to change their mind, if it is necessary or if they have become enlightened... LOL ROFLMHO - and you're applying this to cf? Her/his word has NO HONOR and is filled with vile, vulgarities all the time. You choose to excuse her/his behavior that's all.
I am hoping for the latter to happen to you one day..it is not honorable to hold to your word or convictions when proved to be wrong, or evil.
Don't talk to me about honor when you just finished supporting cf who hasn't a clue what the word even stands for...and you make excuses for him/her. how funny you are.
Please don't hold your breath waiting for change from me. I fully believe I voted the right man into office and I also believe it's going to be a very cold day in 'hel1' before we see another democrat winning the highest office in this country. Especially one as ultra left as kerry was. The majority of people in this country still want a President who is willing to support American values/morals...and defend this Nation too.
I can only hope that one day you will see this war for what it is..Bush's evil blood bath. And I can only hope that one day you will see there are serious threats to our way of life out there....and measures HAVE to be taken to deal with them. We re-elected a man who has the balls to do just that....not a dem who thinks he can 'talk' or 'ignore' the threats and they will just disappear. Or we can bow down to the terrorists threats like Spain did. Yeh...that worked real well for them ....NOT!!!

Well maggie I think you had better read about Mr. Kerry and Jane Fonda when they went in front of the communists in Vietnam.
How their pictures hang in the communist museum. I would consider that a traitor.
Tell me why do the Bush girls have to go to war if the Kerry Girls don't. Kerry voted for the war...
What about when Kennedy called up the entire Wisconsin National Guard 32nd division because of the Bay of Pigs. I guess it is easy to see that you are against administration this time but not back then.
War is ugly and has been ugly since the beginning and men and women have lost their lives for which is sad, but our country is free because of them. The families gave the ultimate sacrifice. Boys age 14 quit school enlisted in the army in WWII just to be part of it. Did you forget Tillman who gave up his millions to protect you and I.

Come on maggie, Clinton ran his reelection on National Health Care and it didn't pan out. Bush has said nothing about National Health Care.
It will take longer than 4 years to develop a national health care that will take care of everyone. Right now most states have in place health care for the poor. I think if you go to the website USgovernment.org and click on a state you can see what health care there is available.
If you think we could have a system like Canada you are wrong. There system is adequate and don't you want more than adequate health care. We will see more Physicians taking retirement and less and less students taking medicine. That is a given. Do you think students want to spend thousand and thousands of dollars going to school for 12 years or more to end up with less and less salary.

So much for Bush the humanitarian.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 - In one of the first signs of the effects of the ever tightening federal budget, in the past two months the Bush administration has reduced its contributions to global food aid programs aimed at helping millions of people climb out of poverty.
With the budget deficit growing and President Bush promising to reduce spending, the administration has told representatives of several charities that it was unable to honor some earlier promises and would have money to pay for food only in emergency crises like that in Darfur, in western Sudan. The cutbacks, estimated by some charities at up to $100 million, come at a time when the number of hungry in the world is rising for the first time in years and all food programs are being stretched.
As a result, Save the Children, Catholic Relief Services and other charities have suspended or eliminated programs that were intended to help the poor feed themselves through improvements in farming, education and health.
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.

you can't insult and make slurs about people and expect them to sit back and take it without responding.
Since you seem to think that I have offended you by not responding to your questions.. let me assure you that is not the case at all.. I am just tired tonight after a long day of shopping, wrapping gifts and delivering goodies to neighbor children who are in need this Christmas..

Libra, the U.S. DOES want a health care system like Canada has because it works. The only ones that poo-poo the idea are republicans because of the big donations they get from insurance companies. Clinton tried to push socialized health care forward but was met with strong opposition because it would have meant a big tax increase.
posted on December 23, 2004 08:29:26 PM new
There is faults in any health care system and before the US tackles that problem they have to figure out where to get the funding from I agree. Right now with medicaid & medicare it is costing plenty. KD do your taxes compare with the US taxes? I don't have any idea about that. Besides my supplementary my medicare costs me $78.00 a month and I still have to pay some out of pocket expenses. There are some physicians that only take medicare payments. With my medicare I get a mammogram every year, pap smear every two years, colonoscopy every other year free.
1 primary care physician for every 1000 patients........
If you don't belong to a private health care provider you might wait months for an MRI.
High taxes is one reason not to rush into a federally funded health care system. The HMO's tried to tell the physicians how to treat patients and those have fallen by the wayside. do you think if we had national health care the government would do the same thing. Physicians need to treat according to the illness and with government involvement would they be able to?
I don't want to start any arguments but a debate would be great.....

Linduh- once again you can't accept that Bush didn't win a mandate. In fact, he may not have won this election to begin with. I suppose if these recounts in Ohio get done we'll find out for sure.
The intelligent people across this country and the rest of the world know the truth about Bush and stupid lemmings like you. I'm sure you'll be the one proud dumb person when one of your family members are killed in Iraq because we went to war based on a complete fabrication. Only then will you understand what that is like. Until then, you're too stupid to understand what the intelligent, or what you refer to as "liberals" and the rest of the world understand and see.

Libra, yes, our taxes are higher because Canadians decided they would rather pay more money in taxes in order that EVERYONE could be privy to health care. Mr. Big-Shot-Money-Bags gets the same treatment as Mr. Bum - the way it should be, imo.
I'm glad that you're receiving proper health care Libra, but many don't. Many middle class people bring in just enough to live on but not enough for health care insurance. They live in constant fear of getting really sick because they know it could wipe them out financially. So, a middle class person gets very sick - it wipes them out - they go on welfare - then who pays for their health care and housing? Your system makes no sense to me, BUT if I was in the medical insurance business, it would be the only way that does makes sense. Now you know who writes all this crap about how bad the Canadian health care system is. Same as illegal drugs. it's the big drug dealers who contribute the most money to anti-drug propaganda campaigns.
