Well, Big Mouth, let's skip the childishness, and get to the facts.

(1) The war in Iraq IS moving to a very successful finish very quickly.
This is not one of your stupid TV movies or ball games which has to be

within two hours to met the demands of your attention span, son. Most real
wars last for several years.

(2) The price of oil/fuel. For years, you nitwit leftists have thought of
yourselves as "environmentalists" bent upon preventing oil drilling or
refining in our country.
The number of active refineres has dropped from almost 400 to something
around 100, all of which are prevented from improvement by your silly
federal regulations.

When asked for help on oil prices, the Saudi's responded; "Why should we
help you? You won't help yourselves! Drill your own oil."

These are the only real, practical issues you approach. In fact bin Laden
really is unimportant. In fact, there are many Islamic cults equal to his,
equally evil and equally bent upon our destruction, all of which cooperate
to that end, "proof" or not. Common Sense, son.

The balance of your story is just your personal opinion on the subjects

address.

Now, what is this REALLY all about?

IF You people were to elect your Kerry, the net result would simply be

free taxpayer funded government giveaways to you lazy, freeloading bums to
assure you can remain stupid hippies who don't have to work for a living.

You want health insurance? Get off your lazy butt and get a job, and pay

it yourself. You want an education? Same answer.

I for one did not work for 50 years to pay some lazy hippie, trailer court
trash
to sit on his butt.

'Steadfast' Bush's amazing flip-flops
By Dan Payne | June 5, 2004

BUSH-CHENEY team likes to say president is "steadfast." And John Kerry

"flip-flopper." But Senator Kerry is bolted to floor compared to Bush.
President Bush is no more steadfast than Tony Soprano is faithful.

Never burdened by reality, Bush says departing CIA chief George Tenet

"superb job." That assumes Tenet's job was to fail miserably to

9/11 and to goad Bush into going to war under false pretenses. Bush
doublespeak is matched only by his amazing flip-flops, which are
underreported. Armchair Strategist aims to fix this, with help from

for American Progress, liberal (There, I said it!) think tank.

Bush can't get enough of Chalabi. Chalabi cons Bush's neocons into

toppling

Saddam; sits behind Laura Bush at State of Union speech; always looks
marvelous in custom-made $1,000 suits. US paid him $335,000 a month for
"intelligence."

US troops raid Chalabi's house. US soldiers raided Chalabi's home and

seized

documents and computers. (Hope they didn't wrinkle his suits.) While on

payroll, told Iran that US had cracked code for Iran's secret
communications. Time magazine says, "The US's abandonment of Chalabi may
prove to be the most head-snapping reversal of all."

Bush called Osama number one priority. "There's an old poster out West

that

says, `Wanted: Dead or Alive.' . . . The most important thing is to find
Osama bin Laden. It's our Number One priority. We will not rest until we
have found him." (Sept. 13 and 16, 2001.)

Now Bush doesn't care about him. "I don't know where he is. I have no

and I really don't care. It's not that important." (March 13, 2002.)

Cheney: We will be greeted as liberators. On "Face the Nation" Cheney
predicts war in Iraq will "go relatively quickly." On "Meet the Press,"

says

"things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi
people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." (March

16,

2003.)

Bush: That's Cheney's story, and I'm sticking with it.

On Feb. 7, 2004, Tim Russert asks: "It's now nearly a year, and we are

a

very difficult situation. Did we miscalculate how we would be treated

received in Iraq?"

Bush: "Well, I think we are welcomed in Iraq." (Pentagon reports 820 US
troops killed in Iraq and 4,682 injured, June 3, 2004.)

Bush opposes Department of Homeland Security. Former press secretary

Fleischer says Bush told Congress, "There does not need to be a
Cabinet-level Office of Homeland Security." (White House press briefing,
Oct. 24, 2001.)

Bush supports Department of Homeland Security. "So tonight, I ask the
Congress to join me in creating a single, permanent department with an
overriding and urgent mission: securing the homeland of America." (June

2002.)

Bush: Al Qaeda and Saddam same. "You can't distinguish between Al Qaeda

and

Saddam when you talk about the war on terror." (Sept. 25, 2002.)

Bush: Saddam had no role in 9/11. "We've had no evidence that Saddam

Hussein

was involved in Sept. 11." (Sept. 17, 2003.)

Bush acrobatics on 9/11 commission. Bush was against creating

then for it. Against National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice

testifying,

then for it. Against testifying himself, then for it. Said he'd testify

only

for one hour. Then said no time limit but had to have Cheney along -- to
keep their stories straight.

Bush says president should talk OPEC into lower prices. "The president
ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to

open

your spigots . . . The president of the United States must jawbone OPEC
members to lower the price." (Jan. 26, 2000.)

But not this president. With gas prices soaring, President Bush refuses

"personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds." (Miami

Herald,

April 1, 2004.)

Bush then: gay marriage is state issue. "The states can do what they

to do. Don't try to trap me in this state's issue like you're trying to

get

me into." ("Larry King Live," Feb. 15, 2000.)

Bush now: for constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. "Today I

upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for
ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting
marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife." (Feb. 24,

2004.)

Flip-flops, ad nauseam. Against nation-building, then for it. Found

then lost them. Against McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform, then

signed

it into law. Tariffs? Not gonna have 'em; puts 'em on steel, then lifts

'em.

Mocks Al Gore's idea for hybrid fuel car; calls for $1.3 billion to

develop

one. For extending ban on assault weapons in 2001; now against it.

Fashion idea for DNC conventioneers: Bush flip-flop shoes. If it flips,

wear

it.
