I think Mannu got both JFK and Obama wrong. Yes, Democrats do work for peace, but both of these men advocated taking strong foreign policy stances. Republicans even parroted out JFK's inaugeral speech in their An American Carol movie as if to imply that Michael Moore (and perhaps Democrats in general) aren't as tough as they once were.JFK participated in the military during WW2. He commanded a patrol torpedo boat. As President he OK'ed Republican Eisenhower's Bay of Pigs plan. He also presided during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He also initiated military support for Southern Vietnam. In fact, if JFK hadn't been assassinated, John McCain may not have ended up being a prisoner in Vietnam for five years. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy#Vietnam for details. Obama has been a strong proponent of wrapping up the Iraq conflict. That's true. However, he's also been a strong proponent of actually going back to the War on Terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Not exactly a "pussy" move. It's interesting and fascinating to me that those who campaign from a place of fear make their opponents out as cowards or weak. Doesn't really make sense. _______________________ Californians: No on H8 IP: Logged |

LHO, Yeah , you understood me without I telling you. You are open minded indeed.Tink AG - Wiki is a liberal owned site. You need to rise above your drone logic Lexx - It is impossible to know anyone especially a cardinal sign like me LOL and I am still the same you thought you knew. When we agree you say you know me when we don't you say you don't. I thought I knew you too, you too are not the same. I think the problem is you construed my comments as too sexist, so I apologize to you lovely ladies before hand. So are we not allowed to say anything if its not politically or socially correct? Thats typical liberal attitude ain't it? Gosh - this is bad place to discuss politics it appears. Catch you all in GU if you want me.
Cheers!!!

AG you and your minions live in a fantasy world. Check what Nadar said on difficulties of fighting in Afghanistan. Bush was bent on going after the 3 countries identified in the axis of evil and hence went to Iraq before Afghanistan was over. Its my opinion. I did not read it anywhere. So now we have North Korea who surrendered to US demands , with Iraq we are getting there, thanks to General Patreaus, and Iran is still untouched. Perhaps the next president will decide what to do on Iran. Though, Iran got the message loud and clear, thanks to a butch America. When US says, it means it. It is an opportunity for Iran to rectify their terrorism acts against Americans. Someone told me , never to go to these Islam nations with US passport. You are never sure what will happen. JFK was a misfit in military - read his autobiography. It does not matter what others says, fact is you are your own judge. JFK has judged himself in his own words. And Comparing Obama and JFK besides being pussy is stupid - JFK was proponent of anti-communism, Obama is a well known marxist. He sits in a church that spews hatred for Americans. How can he be my president? He did not even go to Iraq since 2006, while Jolie has been there. quote: Whoeever says "There is no war fought that was honourable and no peace that is dishonourable" needs to think twice.
LHO - We can be united if there is reform at individual level not group level that AG's candidate proposes. Obama confuses difference between religion and state when he says "you are your brothers keeper", etc, while even Jesus said give due what Caesar and give God whats due him. IP: Logged |

I didn't say it well, he went after Jolie was there in Feb 2008.So Obama goes after 817 days and while we were still counting. And he went because we brought this to his attention. Seems, he is more interested in the White House. McCain would have been on him if he didn't. http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/05/mccain_counts_obamas_days_ti l.html God save America, he is so phony and hypocrite.

No ofrense, simply not what I started this thread for..political debate of the GU type. quote: such as calling people brainwashed...
People are brainwashed.... and we cannot believe anything much about either candidate....propaganda and disinformation abound...and its OK then for Mannu to use offensive slurs such as calling a man a Pussy???????????? I am sure he has been called many things by bigots himself. He should know better. And for him to accuse a man of being gay or bi, whether true or not...as if it would be a BAD thing... came as quite a shock coming from him to say the least. And read the entire thread...I am not happy with Obama...but I see him as hopefully less dangerous than a white rich ultra conservative who thinks it funny ha ha to crack jokes about bombing. Not funny at all or very politically tactful in these times. ------------------ Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. IP: Logged |

Lexx, I am allowed to call any public figure pussy. I didn't name call you. I have a 10th house mars - I don't think you ever knew the agressive side of me. If you followed GU perhaps you would.And you are so cheap. Forget that we were ever friends.

No, I don't think it is okay for Mannu to talk that way...I do recall a red-neck thread you started in free for all, or Lindaland central, though, so, I thought, if it was okay for you, it was okay for Mannu..you know!? I won't post in this string any longer.. I'll keep the politics in GU... All my love, with all my heart To ALL. ... IP: Logged |

I treasured what was and am deeply saddened that you hate me now ....and call me cheap....because of politics? Because I believe in Peace? Because I'd vote for a black man? Because I am offended you use sexist slurs like calling a man a pussy? So you were not the gentle open minded spiritual man I came to respect? You lied to me??????????

How dare you!? All my love, with all my heart To ALL. ... P.S. I honestly can't believe your last post, like your innocent of doing anything wrong, my GOD! IP: Logged |

this was not about me, it's what was going on with you and your friend Mannu, and you judging him, when you really have no right to, two wrongs, do not make a right...yes, I did judge you, by your actions... for it's always okay for you, but not anyone else.. and you turn it all around, say we've betrayed you, etc, frankly, I thought we would be further along...

."White rich ultra conservative"? Gee, lexx, you almost make that sound like a bad thing. Exactly where did McCain go wrong? The rich part, the conservative part or the white part? IP: Logged |

I don't have any minions, and I'm pretty certain the reverse of what you're thinking is true. Just look at all the conspiracies you're jumping on in order to try to keep Obama from being elected. I would be embarrassed to act like you guys who seem to think the world will end if Obama wins. If you were familiar with American politics, you'd know how far Obama can go with the ideas you assign to him, and you'd realize that you have a lot less reason for alarm. quote: with Iraq we are getting there
What most don't realize is that things in Iraq are extraordinarily delicate even now. An unraveling of the situation there is still imminently possible, and it's not a military matter per se, but rather trying to reconcile the three major groups of people. quote: JFK was a misfit in military - read his autobiography. It does not matter what others says, fact is you are your own judge. JFK has judged himself in his own words.
So was McCain, by his own admission as well. IP: Logged |

TINK.. I am not going to start posting all the things I dislike about him.And you are correct...those are not his actual negatives.....except the ultra conservative bit. Everyone vote for who you want to. The election is probably rigged anyhow. And BTW... Happy Birthday! ------------------ Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

I know you know better. Please tell me you know better. Let's start with Robert McNamara and proceed from there. IP: Logged |

AG Watch it...you will be accused of judging too! __________________________________________ Just vote folks. Or don't. I really do not care if you do or do not. Things will unfold as they will.
