Oooh! Quotes! (By the way, some of the quotes you've mentioned has been alternately attributed to: Al Gore, Bill Clinton, George Bush (Sr. and Jr.), and Dan Quayle ;) )

"As many of you know, I was very instrumental in founding the internet." - Al Gore to Katie Couric

"I am not part of the problem, I am a Democrat." - Vice President Al Gore

"The future will be better tomorrow." - Vice President Al Gore

"For NASA, space is still a high priority." - Vice President Al Gore

"I was raised in the West. The west of Texas. It's pretty close to California. In more ways than Washington, D.C., is close to California." - Bush

"I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family." - Bush

"I think war is a dangerous place." - Bush

"My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific." - Bush

"God loves you, and I love you. And you can count on both of us as a powerful message that people who wonder about their future can hear." - Bush

“See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." — George W. Bush

"Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education? Free medical care? Free whatever? It comes from Moscow. From Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell." - Debbie Riddle (R-Houston)

:fluffle:

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country," --Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC.


This one is SO my favorite. Especially after his recent comments about his home-invasion/armed robbery experience. Sure, lets outlaw guns so only outlaws will have them. Then act all shocked when you get robbed at gunpoint. THEN, forgive the robbers, and say you don't want them prosecuted. And, finally, advocate MORE gun control laws, even though you just said you don't want to prosecute the criminals, who just robbed you, at GUNPOINT. Classic. I think Barry is still on the pipe.

:sniper:

The idea that everyone deserves free education (not free medical care, though) was one of the earliest principles of American government, because you need an educated and informed populace to have a real democracy!

Of course, Bush and the other neo-cons don't mind the suckiness of our public education system for just that reason. I'm not at all surprised that she seems to have a selective memory about that point.

I never realized that Al Gore was just as prone to Bushisms as Bush himself. I wonder, if he had become President, would things be just as bad now but in a different way?

Well, you used to be quite good; made sense most of the time, didn't go off on rants, and were fairly bipartisan. For the last few months you've just been sinking lower and lower and drifting further and further from that.

No ... it's always the subject of those threads of mine which you choose to use in an attempt to provoke me.

Listen! Is that yer momma callin' you? :p

True. I am indeed, contrary to what you and your ilk may want others to think.

Indeed, I am sure that you honestly do believe this. So while it makes the statement even funnier, I should retract it from the list of mispoken statements.

for that reason alone, I retract it from this category of discussion.

No, all your topics have underlying attacks against all of the "liberals" in order to make the "conservatives" look better. Then you sit around and complain that I am exposing your bullshit, call me a leftist, and demand to be recognized as a centrist.

I don't "demand" to be recognized as anything on here. That would be pointless, since there are so many who pretend to be something they're obviously not ... such as you, for example.

Your concern is noted, but I've had plenty of practice over the years skirting the anti-spam rules with my entertaining yet politically frivolous threads that I've learned a few tricks and applied it to my commentary on their behavior.

And eve if I did get warned for flaming, I've been a very good doobie. :)

No, but you appear to be.
Yes, because all my posts to other people are laden with infantile insults, such as "Is that your momma callin' you?"

Sure you don't.

That would be pointless, since there are so many who pretend to be something they're obviously not ... such as you, for example.
Now that, my friends, is a very nice try.

I will break it down for those of you who missed it.

First, he claims he doesn't demand to be recognized as anything and declares that kind of thing pointless. However, it is pointless because people pretend to be things they are not. What does that have to do with demanding to be recognized as something? I don't know, it is just part of the transition into an insult of me in the end part of the sentence: "such as you, for example." He insists that I pretend I am something I am not. I'm not sure what he is referring to because I, like any of you still reading this, am wondering where I pretended to be anything at all. Maybe he is talking about my name. Well no, I am not a superhero and yes, I am wearing pants.

It is always the subject of his threads.

Paranoia is such an ugly condition.

Well no, I am not a superhero and yes, I am wearing pants.

See, now those were the only two things you had going for you in my eyes. :(

I mind seeing a programme about the chimps in Gombe yesterday; 2 chimps were hooting at each other, making big displays to establish their relative dominance, and their respective friends and allies were egging them on.

It's nice to see comparitive psychology vindicated these days. :)

Oh God. This is amazing. It goes from something that shows that people say stupid political things, and it all goes back to Eut for some reason. Why is it that you people are so intent on bringing fights from stuff here? I have to side with Lunatic, here. Now, Eut may say some things you don't agree with, but you don't have to bring your crusade against him everywhere he goes.

On Tobacco:
We know it's not good for kids, but a lot of other things aren't good. ... Some would say milk's not good.

I frequent these sort of threads enough to see the reaction, but I do not understand it.

Like how the popular kids in high school never understand how mean popular kids could be because they never received it, you wouldn't understand how snide and condescending and downright mean Eutrusca is if he's never been that way towards you.

I mean, some do, but they're relatively rare. On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it, doesn't matter, you know.

On the other hand, if combat means being on an Aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for twelve ships and their rockets, a female may be again dramatically better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes."

Yikes why are you throwing insults at me now?

Yea, but they're funny Reagan quotes, rather than funny Clinton or Gore quotes.

Those giraffes are elusive critters.

Off topic: This is true. Theres a thread dedicated to nasty Eut remarks. I can also see pretty easily why someone would want to give Eut a hard time for the way he acts towards "leftists".

I'm not a popular kid ;)

But I get what you're saying. However, since I have never have had the Eutrusca "experience", I, for the moment at least, agree with Lunatic.

George Bush:


I hope I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, anti-racism. This is what drives me. --George Bush, after aides accused of anti-Semitism resigned from his campaign in 1988.

Now, I'm no cowboy. I pitch horseshoes for a living, but I don't ride these broncos. --George Bush in Texas, explaining what his job as President entailed


It has been said by some cynic, maybe it was a former president, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.' Well, we took them literally--that advice, as you know. But I didn't need that because I have Barbara Bush.


Look, I want to give the high five symbol to high tech..The truth is, it reminds a lot of people of the way I pitch horseshoes. Would you believe some of the people? Would you believe our dog? - Bush in a speech at a Ford Aerospace plant

Who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps and preside over the White House as the President's spouse. I wish him well! -- Barbara Bush

Off topic: This is true. Theres a thread dedicated to nasty Eut remarks. I can also see pretty easily why someone would want to give Eut a hard time for the way he acts towards "leftists".

I won't argue that. Eutrusca is a crusty old fart. (No offense, Eut. ;) )

But This thread really wasn't the place for it.

My favourite:
Free nations don't attack each other.
The US *does* attack other nations using utterly ridiculous excuses.

Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction."
The US *does* develop weapons of mass destruction.

So what does he want to tell us with that? The US *isn't* free! :D
Someone go and free the US! :D

Furthermorther, as a consequence of not being free, following his first sentence:
“See, free nations are peaceful nations.
Thus, the US isn't peaceful either! :D

Yea, but they're funny Reagan quotes, rather than funny Clinton or Gore quotes.


Yeah that's what I figured really. Just another example of how nasty Eut can be without provocation.

Who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps and preside over the White House as the President's spouse. I wish him well! -- Barbara Bush
Hey, that one's not a tismake, that's a good one! :D

Well, you used to be quite good; made sense most of the time, didn't go off on rants, and were fairly bipartisan. For the last few months you've just been sinking lower and lower and drifting further and further from that.

In my opinion, anyway.
Here's the deal. Alot of us whom you so readily call "Bushites" are centrist. But you fucking Liberals go off on your anti-Bush tantrums so often, and so venomously, that we can't help but defend the parts that are pure conjecture, or patently false.

Next thing you know, we're labeled "Bushites" by the clueless, planless, powerless, left, and they never even realize that we hate the christian right just as much.

The only difference is that the left can't keep their slanderous yaps shut for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Are some Repubs just as bad as Liberals? YES!!!
But at least they have the good sense to shut the fuck up every once in a while.

I won't argue that. Eutrusca is a crusty old fart. (No offense, Eut. ;) )

I can see what you are saying but people are people and when Eut makes a anti-liberal thread 'in humor', one suspects a deeper agenda so it's hard to maintain composure and not retaliate against a perceived attack.

So what you are saying is that all liberals are venemous asswipes but only some conservatives are?

Especially when he does it over, and over, and over with never a word uttered under the breath against any conservative.

And why can't we be centrists? Alot of people disagree with Bush, he doesn't get to fucking rock-bottom approval ratings because everyone on the right is a fair centrist. You people are just full of shit. At least we are honest because if you are all centrist, I am Pinoccio and I want to be a real boy god damnit.

"In Washington earlier today, they had the annual White House Easter egg hunt.

One kid looking for Easter eggs found 800 missing Al Gore ballots." —David Letterman


"The men and women from the U.S. spy plane in China landed in Hawaii earlier today and George W. Bush, who is still pensive, said, yeah they are in Hawaii, but he is not going to rest until they are on U.S. soil." —David Letterman


"George W. Bush, I'm telling you, this guy has no luck when it comes to China. Last night, for example, he's out having dinner at a Chinese restaurant and they bring him the fortune cookie. He opens it up — guess what — it's another ballot for Al Gore." —David Letterman

Okie dokie. I won't try to reason it out with you because I know that would be fruitless so I will just let it go.

Somebody has to be the bigger man here.
Tsk! And you accuse me of being insulting! :rolleyes:

I guess it's not knee slapping humorous, but I personally think it's a silly statement so I put it up. Besides when you explain a joke it loses any humor it may have had.

I never realized that Al Gore was just as prone to Bushisms as Bush himself. I wonder, if he had become President, would things be just as bad now but in a different way?

Anything's possible.

Thing is, the list of documented Bushisms that happened not just during interviews with softball-pitching TV hosts, but during campaign speeches and press conferences and actual official White House PR events is staggering and I'd wager at least ten times the length of any other politicians with the exception of Dan Quayle.

And the whole thing about Al Gore being "instrumental in founding the internet"? Look it up. He was instrumental. When Arpanet needed government funding, guess who was the chair of the committee that pre-Net project needed money from? Al Gore. It got hyperbolized by his opponent's spinmeisters as "invented the internet" which is complete crap. He no more invented the internet than anyone who's ever funded research invented anything. However, saying that a funding source, especially one who must use reason, procedure and protocol to make his point and get the money where it needs to go, was "instrumental" in the founding of something is certainly valid.

So please don't tell me that the media only pounce on the Right. Joe Biden, Howard Dean, Gary Hart, Pat Schroeder, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, John McCain, Dan Rostenkowski, Gerald Ford, Bob Packwood, Newt Gingrich, George Nethercutt, Sam Nunn, Daniel Inouye...folks from every side...modern political journalists are equal opportunity character assassins.

"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." --Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents.

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country," --Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, DC.

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it." --Al Gore, Vice President

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." --Bill Clinton, President

"We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur." --Al Gore, VP

Of course I do, because you insulted me. You can take being called unreasonable as being an insult if you want as I'm sure it hurts your ego, but I am merely stating what I feel to be a fact from having experienced your posting behavior for a couple years. I merely had to explain why I wasn't goign to even try to get you to see my way of thinking because of you unwillingness to look beyond your own prejudices. I don't even know why I am responding to you here as I don't see anything productive coming from it. I guess I just have a hard time truely giving up on people that I think have some intelligence.

Um ... it's called humor, something you wouldn't understand. :p
Yikes why are you throwing insults at me now?

I was merely sharing funny quotes just like you.If you think that's an "insult," then I suggest you carefully pick which threads in which to comment. That was by no means an insult.

Okie dokie. I won't try to reason it out with you because I know that would be fruitless so I will just let it go.

Just wanted to lay that all out in one place, let it speak for itself.

Nice quote, especially after it's been attributed to Dan Quayle.

and about every other poltical figure out there bush included .... don't you just love inacurate sources, just because they site a date doesn't always mean the refrence is right......that's what I love about these quotes they tend to be horribly out of context half the time and are taken from part of a sentance and made to sound horribly wrong.....and the people who usually post them don't know a thing about the proper context it was used in nor anything about the topic at hand besides their two cents on the matter. God bless ignorance and the freedom to blab and rant ignorantly

"They elected the symbol of ebonics to the presidency of this nation. There ain't no brother in Oakland, or anywhere else, that would run the phrase or mix up the words the way this cat does. It raises serious questions about whether he's really white." —San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown

"Over the weekend, President Bush announced he is installing a Little League baseball diamond on the grounds of the White House. It's going to be taking place where President Clinton's all-girl Jell-O wrestling pit used to be." —Jay Leno


"Bush was very excited to meet the shuttle astronauts. They told Bush what it looked like from outer space when Florida turned red" —David Letterman


"A lot of times in the rhetoric, people forget the facts. And the facts are that thousands of small businesses —Hispanically owned or otherwise — pay taxes at the highest marginal rate." George W. Bush, speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, March 19, 2001

I angers me when people such as yourself take comments out of context and proceed to commentate on the matter. Your blatant ignorange of ALL the facts is what causes so many problems in this country.

Wasn't the point of this thread to take quotes by politicians out of context because that way they're funny?

I thought it was rather to mock those polticians that spoke out about matters they fully didn't understand themselves or to look at their blunders not out of context but when they actually screwed up. perhaps my interpratation was incorrect?

Precisely. Unfortunately it has turned into a "get Eutrusca" thread. Oh well, if they didn't have this particular outlet they would probably be accosting little old ladies on the street, or holding up schoolchildren for their lunch money.

Bah on the contrary Eut I think the matter between you and the others has died down finally ( and thankfully) now let us not speak about it again in hopes of not provoking the sleeping bears shall we and simply sweep that matter under the rug and then beat it with a baseball bat till its nice and dead ? ;) ( No I'm not posting death threats against any of you calm down children before you get all excited and feel the urge to click the reply button and call me some sort monster I'm speaking about this lengtly qualm that has been going on that's grown rather old and tideous to read about)

Well, since the opening post contains a thrice mis-atributed quote that actually belongs to a writer for MAD Magazine, it seems that the point of the thread is political hackery...

Bushism Alert: "I've coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically." —George W. Bush, who meant to say "misunderestimated"

"Those stories about my intellectual capacity do get under my skin. You know for a while I even thought my staff believed it. There on my schedule first thing every morning it said, 'Intelligence briefing.'" —George W. Bush, at the 2000 Gridiron dinner

Yes, I was kidding. But I do agree about having the women fighting in the trenches vs. pushing buttons and launching missiles or flying jets and bombing the enemy. I know that my daughter is happy not to have been sent over to Iraq, in spite of her marksmanship skills. She is a stateside Army button-pusher, and I am glad as well...;)

Besides, we men can be quite the pigs and/or dogs, and although I have no urge to go out and hunt any animals, including giraffes, I wouldn't mind having a job where I got to hunt down humans...:mp5:

I especially love giraffes, they are my favorite animal.

"Speaking at an event in Florida this week, President Bush criticized Democrats saying they 'want to keep re-voting the election but if they would listen to America they would find that Americans want to move forward.' Americans responded saying we do want to move forward — to 2004." —Tina Fey, on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"


"This week George W. Bush reversed his campaign pledge to limit carbon dioxide emissions and proposed cutting anti-drug programs for public housing residents, saying the addicts should just be evicted instead — which brings the tally up to: conservative 97, compassionate 0." —Tina Fey, on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"


"Maybe it's knocked his syntax straight." —ABC's Cokie Roberts, on Bush banging his head on the door while boarding Marine One

I thought it was just to post stuff to make people laugh. Boy is my face red :mad:


I guess we differ on opinions I thought that was rather a latent function of the thread there are many things in this thread that made me laugh but they wern't the reason for comming to this thread.

"Vice President returns from hospital — doctors say he will be up and using the military to protect the oil interests of his millionaire friends in no time." —Daily Show host Jon Stewart

"Proving that his heart is his least vulnerable spot, Vice President Dick Cheney went back to work Wednesday just two days after receiving angioplasty surgery. Doctors have likened the surgery to thrusting a bratwurst through a pixie stick." —Daily Show host Jon Stewart

"Dick Cheney told reporters today he has a new personal philosophy on life. He says the best part of waking up — is waking up! ... He has had so many heart attacks, the doctors don't even put stitches in him anymore. They have Velcro now." —Jay Leno

"We both use Colgate toothpaste." —George W. Bush, in response to a reporter's question about whether he and British Prime Minister Tony Blair shared anything in common

"Well, he got this new globe for Christmas." —Bob Dole, dispelling rumors that George W. Bush lacks a grasp of foreign affairs

"I find the language of George W. much more offensive." —Madonna, on rapper Eminem

Yes, I was kidding. But I do agree about having the women fighting in the trenches vs. pushing buttons and launching missiles or flying jets and bombing the enemy.

What about a job hunting down men riding giraffes to accomodate both needs? :D and I fully agree about the men being able to be pigs part as would my girlfriend just ask her how "pretty" I smell after spending a weekend on a base after sleeping in the rain and trudging through the mud..... makes you really apreciate a warm bed and a soothing sound an alarm clock can bring ( apposed to some Sargent yelling " TROOPS GET THE FUCK UP" at a quarter to 5 on a saturday or having to get up at 2 to do fsentry in the freezing rain for an hour )

I guess we differ on opinions I thought that was rather a latent function of the thread there are many things in this thread that made me laugh but they wern't the reason for comming to this thread.

I don't follow you :confused:

I'll just continue with the cut n pastes:

"In the short time that he's been in office, President Bush has turned into the most traveled president in history. He has spent almost 1/3 of his nights away from the White House. This is a new record. In fact, he has spent more nights away from home than any American president not married to Hillary Clinton." —Jay Leno

"You never see Bush in the Oval Office. He's always playing golf, or he's riding a horse in Texas, or he's playing tennis. You know? I can't tell if he's president or filming a feminine hygiene commercial." —Jay Leno

"Today George W. Bush went to Florida. It is the first time that he has been there since the election, and he thanked all of the Florida voters for being so stupid." —David Letterman

"Dick Cheney had another angioplasty in his heart last week. Is that really a big deal for him anymore? It's pretty much like getting a haircut. Every couple of weeks, he goes in and says, 'Take a little off the left ventricle.'" —Jay Leno

"Doctors say that Cheney's heart is not in very good shape, and they are thinking of replacing it one day with a donor heart. That's why they keep Bush around — for the heart. Why do you think they've got Bush running every day?" —Jay Leno

"It was so boring, Monica got up from under the podium and left." —From David Letterman's "Top Ten Answers To The Question, 'How Boring Was George W. Bush's Speech?'"

"President Bush's daughter Jenna bailed a boyfriend out of jail Sunday after he was arrested at a TCU fraternity party for public drunkenness. Her parents wept when they heard. It reminded them so much of their first date." —Comedian Argus Hamilton

oh I gotcha.

yeah earlier in the thread when Eut and everyone was hurling insults at each other, I had tried to get it back on track and said I will also be posting stuff from politicians as well as about politicians and here we are. I posted plenty of quotes from politicians but got bored and wanted some variety.

It's a big, thread and a big internet. I have no intention of not sharing. Except that you can't use this smilie: :cool: - it's mine!

it's funny cause it doesn't seem to have stopped you from blabbering on either, you really can't keep saying he's the only one responsible. That's the great thing about any argument there's almost always not just one person at fault as present in this arguement. By no means am I saying that what Eut said is to be agreed with I'm merly saying just because a person threw a pebble doesn't neccisarily always give you the right to throw boulders back.

Yes well can't you two settle this the old fashion way with a plane ticket accompanied by some good old fashioned back yard boxing ;) jk, however it almost seems more like clubs would be more in order with you guys

Clearly he(Eut) posted democrats "slip ups", and only democrat. If he was really looking for "a few laughs" he would have posted a mix. It's a lot easier to find a page that mixes both then it is to cherry pick one side.

Also, anyone who makes a comment about "wow they mess up too!" needs to take a step back and re-read all the Bushisms. For every 1 democrat screwing up you can quote, someone can quote 4 from Bush.

I don't like democrats- they've just grown too cowardly to fight the kind of election the republicans do, but republicans? Need to be shot. Just in the leg, that'd be fine, get 'em to calm the frack down.

People like this Eut character just reinforce that feeling. =_=

LOL! Jeeze, you just don't quit with the insults, do ya!

I really do think you're the same person as ChessSquares.

... this bullshit ...
Well, at least you got that much right. :D

I never realized that Al Gore was just as prone to Bushisms as Bush himself. I wonder, if he had become President, would things be just as bad now but in a different way?

The USA would still be apologizing for killing Islamic freedom fighters with our tall buildings.

And this my friends is the perfect example of hate speech, clearly some one is either unable to part take in a debate/conversation with out resulting to "THEY NEED TO BE HURT" mentallity which would result in me thinking of you along the ranks of having nothing more than the intellectual capabilities of a savage barbarian or your clearly the stereotypical example of "the high school kid" who doesn't know how express himself so he results to petty insults. So which one are you the petty bully or the savage barbarian?

Yes well I don't see the purpose behind it it just stifles on dry conversation while two people go on flamming each other which as most of you know is against forum rules.....

I think stating the quote (although I altered it a bit due to the it doesn't make sense the way he wrote it defense ;) ( yes I know it's not like my typing skills much surpass that of a two year olds most of the time) is in order

"I remember seeing a program about the chimps in Gombe yesterday; 2 chimps were hooting at each other, making big displays to establish their relative dominance, and their respective friends and allies were egging them on."

Are we sure he isn't 12?

I am constantly astounded that he has not been deleted yet. He's got multiple forumbans and warnings to his name, yet he persists in doing the exact same things that have got him in trouble in the past.

Heh! Thank you very much! I stand by my opinion.

And 'I mind' is a perfectly acceptable Scot-ism for 'I remember', for your information :p No, you're right, I should have edited it; obviously, it doesn't carry across countries that well!:D

Elgesh']Heh! Thank you very much! I stand by my opinion.

And 'I mind' is a perfectly acceptable Scot-ism for 'I remember', for your information :p No, you're right, I should have edited it; obviously, it doesn't carry across countries that well!:D



Ha I should have geussed somethign as great as that quote would have come from a scot ( good things always seem to come to me from the scotish , my unit (Cameron Highlanders), My girlfriend, hagis and other fine things all seem to come from them

Thanks for the quote

Yes well I don't see the purpose behind it it just stifles on dry conversation while two people go on flamming each other which as most of you know is against forum rules.....
Well, there are a few on here who can actually manage to carry on a civil debate. Unfortunately, few of those chose to involve themselves in this one.

To add to the problem, it wasn't just two people, it was, as usual, me and about six others ( and one n00b who used his first post to insult someone about whom he knows absolutely nothing! Heh! ). In American football, this would be an illegal play known as "piling on," which I think has a 15-yard penalty.

However, being as charitable as possible, the mods don't consider this a violation of the TOS. If I had responded with anything other than what someone on here has referred to as "childish responses," it would have been a different story ... I would have been deleated so fast everyone's head would have spun. This is one of the primary reasons some few try so hard to bait me; they're hoping I'll slip up and wind up being deleated.

i hope we ll de able to become russia someday...

So your horrible behavior on these boards (for which you have been warned and forum banned multiple times) over the last couple years is someone elses fault?

I am constantly astounded that he has not been deleted yet. He's got multiple forumbans and warnings to his name, yet he persists in doing the exact same things that have got him in trouble in the past.
[ referring to my last post above ] See what I mean? :D

Just to set the record straight: I have had three forumbans, preceeded by three warnings. All of those were months ago. Since the last one, I have been trying very hard to live within the guidelines, especially since a friend of mine told me that some of the mods are just waiting for me to slip up so they can deleate my nation, perhaps even give me an IP address ban.

I used my first post to point out something you've kindly ignored, twice now, because you have no response.

If you posted it for fun, why only democrats?

It's not hard to "insult" someone who makes themselves look like a fool.

I posted, because I couldn't help but laugh at you. Sorry. ^_^

Btw, the comment about shooting republicans? Wasn't "ohh hurt him!" Kindly reread it. It was personal opinion. Consider it my political standpoint.

But then, if either of you really had anything worth saying, so many people wouldn't be telling you to bug off, would they?

Didn't you read his last post about that? It is a big conspiracy against him.

You know ... I wasn't going to respond to you at all, but I think something you've said in this post needs a response.

I "ignored" your innanities for two reasons:

1. You have no idea what you're talking about.

2. You obviously haven't followed the thread. If you had, you would know that I already explained why my quotes were only from Democrats.

Adding lack of knowledge to pre-existing ignornace only compounds error.

Didn't you read his last post about that? It is a big conspiracy against him.
The only one I see bandying about the word "conspiracy" on here is you, oh ignoble one. Besides, it takes a degree of intellect to indulge one's self in any sort of "conspiracy."

2. You obviously haven't followed the thread. If you had, you would know that I already explained why my quotes were only from Democrats.


Sorry, but, "I'm letting the people who enjoy posting bushisms do it" isn't an explanation, it's an excuse.

So I reitterate, if your truley centric, and truley just posted for fun, why only democrats?

Reiterate all you like. Just don't do it too much, or the Mods will warn you for spamming.

Reiterate all you like.

Good response. Itellectual even. Exactly what I was expecting, too.

LOL! Jeeze, you just don't quit with the insults, do ya!

I really do think you're the same person as ChessSquares.
Ugh, with this crap again. I swear one of these times you're just going to accuse me of kidnapping the Lindburg baby...

Care to make any reasonable connection between style, syntax, or point of view? Or look to notice that I'm in a password protected region all by my self that never once contained Chess Squares? Or notice all the times the two of us argued? Or are you just going to continue to hurl baseless accusations at me everytime you feel all wounded? Coward.

And let us examine this 'insult,' shall we? What I said-
Well, since the opening post contains a thrice mis-atributed quote that actually belongs to a writer for MAD Magazine, it seems that the point of the thread is political hackery...
Which refers to this-

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." --Bill Clinton, President


But as pointed out here-
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/candidate.asp

Actually no
that the quote has not only been atributed to Clinton by you, but Bush by others to Quale by even more but is in fact-
And some are "Quayleisms"; that is, comments now widely attributed to the former Vice-President that were actually coined by humor writers as examples of the sort of things he might say:

[MAD Magazine, 1991]

* "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
MAD Magazine. Thus, my statement that the quote is misatributed is true, and the purpose while a conclusion is, given the evidence, a reasonable one. If you find it insulting then you should amend yourself, not make baseless attacks on the messanger.

Yes yes, we've all read the thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=362859&highlight=%22leftist+tactics%22), it's all a big conspiracy and you have no demonstratable history of paranoia...

Hmm... I knew something was amiss when I saw the following:

"I am not part of the problem, I am a Democrat." - Vice President Al Gore
"I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican" - President George W. Bush

But as I alluded to in my original post in this thread: I know there is a margin of error with some of the older quotes, but I frankly do not care at this point. It was supposed to be all in good fun, what?
'course we could be accurate, like:

"Those who enter the country illegally violate the law." —George W. Bush, Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 28, 2005

...but that's not as fun, now is it? And besides, who's got time for such things when there are giraffes to hunt, eh? ;)

Honestly, Eut, you might want to just admit that you're a right-winger. You're not fooling anyone, and I highly doubt that you are personally in denial...
