Hell no!!! I wish that Bush would get a blow job and get us out of
his phony war in Iraq and bring back Clinton's economy.

Unfortunately, it is not a phony war. Just the reasons for creating
it were and continue to be phony.


A blown off cease fire that went unchecked from 1993 onward is why we are in
a war in Iraq right now. I was in the first round back in 1991. There is
nothing phony about the reasons we have a fight on in Iraq..unless one
pretends that the previous 15 years never really happened.

The "reasons" for the war were a link between Iraq and 9/11 and WMDs.
Both were lies.

They use real body bags. The country is more dangerous than ever. There
are more 'terrrorists' than ever.

And Bush is one of them.

Um..yeah...go with that. Never realized how insane you really are.

He is not the one who finds relevance in Bill Clinton quotes that are
over 10 years old.

How about these for more current quotes...
