If it’s worse for France then I am all for it.

Well, you know what they say … “Bush 2 in the hand” … oh … wait …

I keep reading about “my fear of terrorists”. IMHO, America is really about the only place worldwide that IS NOT letting the fear of terrorism control their lives. We are fighting it.
That isnt fear, it is courage. Courage to do the right thing, even when the rest of the world cowers. Courage to stand up and take a stand, while the rest retires to their bunkers. Courage to point out the people who are terrorists, hiding behind a religion, and do something about it. Courage is not fear. Cowards, of course, do not see it that way. They are blinded by their fears.

Contrary to the common wisdom of the MainStreamMedia©, the Democrat party, P.Diddy, Michael Moore & John Kerry, the youth vote did not turn out in this election, even after much stroking, free underwear, and Paris Hilton threatening them to “Vote or Die” (presumably by some STD?). With the advent of Universal Internet Voting upon us, we here at docweasel.com have come up with a format that will guarantee more youth participation in the 2008 election by using an interface that is familiar and popular with the kids today.

Youth Vote

It’s people like the first 3 posters who give me a little bit of solace in letting me know that there are people in this country who deserve the problems Bush will bring them. You voted for him, you deserve him. Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (New York, Chicago etc) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.

redSun - Didn’t get your nap? Or are you going to be cranky for another 4 years?

You don’t have to worry about NYC or Chicago or any of the other socialist meccas that voted Blue this time. Didn’t you hear? bin Laden said he wouldn’t attack you if you voted for ‘peace’ and by gummy, you’re going to have your peace.

Meanwhile it’s a target rich environment for Mr. bin Laden, wouldn’t you say? And all those mouth-breathers out there in the Red States certainly deserve what’s coming to them.

I’m sure Mr. bin Lauden is a man of his word. Your peace-lovinig Blue States will be safe. And I’m sure whatever terrible things you wish on your fellow citizens will come true. Thanks for being a real American.

I’m curious as to what in the world you are talking about:
>there are people in this country who deserve the problems Bush will bring them. You voted for him, you deserve him.<

Are you stating we in the “Red” states deserve to be attacked by Islamofacists? Deserve to die? Deserve to be incinerated? Deserve to have our final choice to be whether to die in the flames of the WTC or in a multi-thousand foot jump to the city sidewalk below?

>Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (New York, Chicago etc) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.<

What is OBL punishing Bush for? Do you really think we should adjust our voting to the desires of OBL?

redSun says, “It’s people like the first 3 posters who give me a little bit of solace in letting me know that there are people in this country who deserve the problems Bush will bring them.”

Typical liberal undermining twit. Bush brought us all our problems? Not middle east terrorism? Jeeez. We deserve the good that will come from Bush, and you certainly don’t. But I’m sure you’ll come along for the free ride.

redSun says, “You voted for him, you deserve him.”

Yes, we do. Thank you very much. You deserve a lying, liberal socialist traitor, that is an admitted war criminal.

redSun says, “Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (New York, Chicago etc) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.”

I see. You think if we’d cower to the terrorists, we’d be safe. (I think this guy is just joking. NO one is THAT stupid) From what I hear, just living there is punishment enough. A lot of liberal socialists there. I guess you’d know all about that.

Just what do you fear, Chicken Little ?

redSun (Chicken Little) says, “Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (New York, Chicago etc) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.”

I think you had a typo. You meant to say, “Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (FALLUJAH, ETC.) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.”

***THE AMERICA OF FEAR HAS WON
BUSH 2 WORSE THAN BUSH 1?***

They can’t figure it out. We elected Bush because we have no fear. They are the way they are because THEY are afraid. Their the ones that cower to terrorism. Dumbazzez

Sadly, it’s the people who live in the most high-risk areas (New York, Chicago etc) that will bear the brunt of Bush’s punishments when they themselves voted for Kerry.

Yes, indeed.

Islamist thugs like bin Laden cannot be taken at their word (save when that word is “We will murder all unbelievers”).

Which is what you were told before the election, repeatedly. But you voted for Kerry anyway.

You did evil, not even pretending that good would come of it, but merely hoping that someone would take the bullet before it reached you. Now, you pretend to suddenly realize that the gunfire is actually coming from the other direction.

Too, too bad.
