this is exactly the kind of bull I went through here a couple of years ago. Some people here think that they are free to hand out or deny other people's political persuasions for them.
Where do ya get this? I challanged the man who claimed to be a "Republican" yet spewed the EXACT SAME false propaganda of Move on . orq. I read his exact words and I feel he admitted to drifting away from the Republican party, (must of been before 2004 because he voted for Kerry in spite of his claims to be anti gun corntrol et al). Had he said: I'm a wobbly person that votes Republican sometimes and Democrat sometimes and I really dislike GW Bush, I would have treated him with the same respect I treat WbW, PW2, Rolmops, Mr. Tree et al. He walked in here under a false pretence, IMHO. You may like that is he agrees with your unside down views on Iraq, so be it.
You call JBJ deceitful and a fraud because he calls himself a republican but doesn't support this administration. I think that is pretty bold and yes, pretty rude and disrespectful. I didn't see in this thread anyway where jbj admitted to not actually being a republican, something you say that he did. Dare I say that it is not your place or anyone else's for that matter to decide if someone can call themselves a republican or not?
I call spades: spades Rat, sorry that offends yer sensabilities. I try to show respect for different opinions but I have little respect for falsehood.
My 74 year old dad has never voted for anyone but a repub his entire life I think. He hated Clinton, hated Kerry, and hates anything that smacks of liberalism, yet he is SICK of this administration and its poorly conceived war and all of the BS and power grabbing overreaching that they have been engaged in. And he voted for W, not once, but TWICE. I'd like to see you call him a fraud and Not a Real Republican.
Why make up a 'straw man' argument to make some sort of point to work yerself up over, take a cold shower please.
And he is most certainly not alone. How can W have won the last election (and I'm going to say he did for thesake of argument here) with a majority, yet now have the kind of approval ratings in the high twenties and low thirties unless he's lost some of the same people who voted him in?
Rat, real easy. Look at history. Americans hate wars (all wars) n' ALWAYS HAVE! They have been told by the MSM (that most people watch or read) that "Bush lied people died", the "worst president ever", "worse then the Great Depression", "incompetant incompetant" et al. If you have any knowledge of history (think outside the 'Kool aid' filled 'box' for a nano second and you will see that the PROPAGANDA DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL FACTS.) It did not about Joe McCarthy, FDR either, yada yada. If you are vulnerable to that type of peer/MSM pressure yer not gonna like President Bush. Real simple if ya have 1/4 of a Brain cell, hope ya do.
I know you "real" repubs really believe that your side never engages in partisan politics, and never engages in any kind of hanky-panky of any kind, and how any repub that gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar didn't actually do it and was just a victim of those crafty and evil democrats, so I won't try to belabor the point. It would be a waste of bandwidth.
YOU CAN'T READ MY MIND, and yer havin' lots of trouble readin' my words. Never said that at all. BTW I'm not a Republican so put that in yer pipe with the rest of what ever yer smokin'.
As to the definition of "slander" I simply copied the text straight from the iBoats rules. If you think that is wrong, maybe you could start a campaign to change the way the rules are worded.
