This is just one of those things not even worth arguing.  Lee believes what he believes, and no amount of shouting is going to change that, so more power to him.  I don't agree with his assessment, and more power to me, too.

The news item reminded me of how they once filled the insane asylums in the Soviet Union.  The Soviet system was so perfect, that for a person to find fault, they MUST have been insane. Off they were hauled.

To the kool aid drinking republicans, George W. is so perfect, a man would have to be crazy to think that he did things which hurt this country, or to think that he deserved to be castrated.

The internet postings come across as being very flat, so I apologize to anyone who  didn't realize I was being sarcastic.

Yeah, it can be tough to tell on a message board.  I'm sure there are people here who would've posted the exact same thing, sans sarcasm.

The tax cuts worked, the economy is booming, the terrorists in Iraq are in their last throes, and America is finally heading back to the Christian roots of its forefathers. 

Who else but a mental patient (or a mental patient wanna be) would say "[i] want to castrate Bush," and "[that's] not too harsh, considering what he has done to my country.  If not that, maybe something else."

I just have five things to say:

Thirty-Six Percent Approval Rating.

Tax cuts worked for the rich.  The economy has record deficits & record national debt.  The national debt is approaching $9,000,000,000,000.00  --  that's roughly the equivalent of putting a $30,000 charge on your credit card for every citizen in the country.  Explain yourself -- how did the cuts work, and why do you think the economy is booming?

Who says?  Is Iraq stable?  How many people were killed in their unofficial civil war this week?

The forefathers who separated church & state, making this country a welcoming place for people of any & all faith?

Not all people who oppose Bush are mental patients, nor do they want to castrate Bush.  Some of us just want a leader who listens, acts without hypocrisy, is financially capable, and is intelligent enough to think through his actions.

Well, the rest of us will vote for anyone, no matter how stupid or dishonest, as long as we won't have to see men kissing each other.

Pretending to be a VALUE'S VOTER this week,

Actually, I think you're saying one thing...you're saying five words.  Of course, words are things, so maybe you are saying five things.

Ah, fuck it...I'm going to watch King of the Hill and The Simpsons.

My theory:  since the 1960s (when TVs became pervasive), the better looking Presidental candidate has alway won.

The mental patient aside, 'the tax cuts worked?" - since when?  They didn't work under Reagan and the didn't work under Bush Lite - I mean, six years for economic policy to work? Get real.  The cuts were cute and like all economic cycles the economy is finally back to where it was six years ago regardless of the cuts.

While I'm on this subject, what happened to the surplus we had finally reached?

Christian roots? We left England because of 'Christian roots."  The Constitution and case law seperates our 'Christian Roots' from government for a very good reason - they're two different thing. Go pray on Sunday; believe in the Creation Theory of the creation of the universe, but don't go blending it with our political system.  George has enough scandle on his hands now to deal with supernatural believe.

Finally, all the 'terrorists' in Iraq are just waiting until we leave and we get to watch the Middle East become unstable again.

So true, except how do you explain Bush?

Christian roots enslaved blacks, took women through suffrage, and is accountable for the murders of many gay and minority people over the course of our history.  As we strayed away from our Christian roots, people became more accepting of other lifestyles.  Blacks and women were allowed to vote.  Interracial couples can walk down the street with relatively any fear and gays can exist relatively peacefully (though they still have a ways to go).

Yes let's take all that away and get back to Christian roots.  YAY roots!

Interesting correlations!

Makes sense to me...

Easy ... Bush DIDN'T win ... the election was totally rigged ... both times!

So I thought, here we go, everything is so honkin' perfect with Bush (which is what the KoolAid(tm) drinkers say) that we're not only Unpatriot, but outright mental.

Sorry if my sarcasm came across too flat to be recognized.

: )

Well I didn't realize you were being sarcastic in the original post either, you just sounded exactly like another one of the waaaaay too many moronic freaks we already have posting here. However what boggles the mind is that your clear declaration in plain English that you were actually being sarcastic hasn't been recognized by most of the subsequent responders!
