    Reread your own post. You posted a two paragraph rant about how I supported the Bush administration. May I ask where on earth you got that? The position about the two parties essentially being the same may not be popular, but it is consistant. As I pointed out in other threads, those who supported the Bush administration have been back and forth with me as much as the left wingers who support Obama have. There is nothing wrong with a difference of opinion, and I can at least respect the ones who are consistant and know why they take that position.

    The bottom line is that you are all over the map. You are so focused on the Republican Party as the enemy that you do not even take the time to read and understand what others believe. Lets see, why don't others listen to you?

    Perhaps a Pyrrhic victory.

    Before his outburst his seat was considered a very safe one for the Republicans. Perhaps he can recover. Time will tell.

    Joe Wilson's website is back online .... but he has removed the link to send him an e-mail. ROFL

    Well, people may not be able to send him an email... but they sure are sending him money !

    His fund hit a $1,000,000 since "calling out" the liar.

    Now THAT is "ROFL" funny !!

    This is what is called circular reasoning.

    No, this is what's called the truth. The previous insult is what's called a lie.

    So, you believe if someone disagrees with you, that they must be irrational?

    You support a representative who openly calls the President of the United States a liar in a joint meeting of the congress. That certainly shows no respect for the current president but also show no respect for the office.

    I see that logic is not one of your strong suits.

    1. Agreeing with Joe Wilson that Obama lies does not equal support for Joe Wilson.

    2. Not having respect for the current holder of the office of President due to his lack of good character and his destructive policies does not equal no respect for the office.

    3. Neither condition described above equals hate for the United States.

    4. An actual lack of respect for the current President or the office of President would not equal hate for the United States.

    I for one hope that you keep regenerating yourself each time that you are banned from the board.

    You are far too funny to loose. :laugh::laugh::tongue3:

    Well alatide, it could be argued that you support a President who very openly supports abortion and that you have no respect for life.
