Things That Only a Republican Could Believe

^^ Would there even have been attacks on 9/11? Would Al Gore have taken the ENTIRE MONTH OF August off in 2001, thereby setting the all time record for longest Presidential vacation?

Would he have paid more attention the briefs warning of an attack by Al Qaeda instead of chopping down brush for the month of August on a Texas ranch for the news cameras?

Who knows?
 
[Wow, folks, other than the pics of my gal that I post in that thread, this is the most rep points I've ever received for anything here at FO! Even getting rep from folks who didn't comment on this thread. Glad you all enjoyed it as much as I did. and Thank You!!]
 
if in 2000 little elian gonzalez didnt cost gore 550 votes in florida
Actually, I'd argue the 70,000 absentee ballots (largely overseas soldiers) that the Democrats wanted striken from the vote would have made all the difference, as the absentee ballots were heavily Republican voting (although mine was an abstain, so it didn't count for the Prez any way). Of course, that was a non-PC argument and cost the Democrats some PR capital. At the same time, it was a very legitimate argument, as the addresses were not corrected under the supervision of a bi-partisan committee, required by rule. So they should have been discarded.

I was one of the few Floridians who didn't want Gore in (Gore is my least favorite Democrat of all time, and I'm not saying that lightly), but I said he won the election if you followed the letter of the Florida election law at the time. Of course, under the same law, if Jeb wouldn't have recused himself, he and Katheryn Harris could have overridden Nelson and ended it swiftly, but that's another story (especially for people who demonize Jeb -- he wasn't involved and it's laughable that he was).

Otherwise, I agree on your point. Gore is not a pacifist at all. He "re-invented himself" without really "re-inventing himself." But I do love how Democrats have forgotten NAFTA, and the bi-lateral agreement with North Korea and countless other things that Democrats solely blame Republicans for now. ;)

And here is said list.
To destroy private and public property (forcing the city of Seattle to overspend half of its budget on this instead of public projects) to show your disgust at capitalism is right and noble. To show up at town hall meetings and yell at Democrats because you think they will bankrupt the country is a disgraceful radical act.

• When Bush brings the deficit to 700 billion he is spending our money like a drunken sailor. When Obama brings it to 1 trillion he is just a mindful leader saving our economy while addressing inequalities of our society.

• When Bush brings Evangelicals to the White House he is a religious zealot. When Obama brings an Evangelical to his inauguration he is just a common sense middle of the road American

• To have President Bush elected in a contested election is proof of corruption and lack of transparency (even after we know that the controversial recounts would show the same result). To have a governor elected by 129 votes (out of 2.7 million) or a senator that was confirmed only after 6 recounts (and was losing until the 4th) is completely normal and shows the strength of Democracy.

• When Clinton, Gore and all major Democrats called Saddam the biggest threat in the world and bombed the country repeatedly they were wise statesmen. When Bush went to war for the same reasons he was a loony dictator.

• To create a national scandal about a Republican congressman that supposedly sent sex messages to congressional pages (in the end Foley was not even criminally charged) is fair politics. To go after a Democrat congressman who accepted more than 400k in bribes and had 90k stashed in his freezer is racism and partisan witch hunt.

• To make any mistake when justifying a war is an unforgivable offense that should be treated as a crime against humanity. To lie about the possibility of ending a war is just a fair political game.

• To call some allies “Old Europe” is a major diplomacy blunder. To give the Queen of England an iPod with your speeches in it or to bow before the King of Saudi Arabia is pure creative genius.

• To torture the admittedly mastermind of 9/11 is really bad. Unless you are Jack Bauer. Ah, and if other countries are torturing we are ok with that too.

• Rich people are horrible. Even the Cuban revolution was ok because you know, in the end all they did was to get rid of the ugly rich and choose a nice attorney to lead them! The only good rich people are we of course and our Hollywood brethren. It is no coincidence that they are our serfs.

• We love our Liberal Lions. Even when they have a weird family history of liking dictators like Hitler and Chavez. Oh, we have another one who loved the KKK, but he is so old we kind of forget about that.

• To call Bush the devil, monkey or stupid is the civil right of any right thinking American. To make any remark about Obama or any Black Democrat is a racist crime.

• When Bush says marriage is between a man and a woman he is showing how backwards and bigoted he is. When Obama says the same thing we don’t quite believe it.

• When Republicans cheat on their wives they are hypocrites that should leave office immediately. When Democrats don’t pay taxes they are just human. If you are a black Democrat we won’t even care if you clearly lied in your tax returns – you got to have at least 90k on your fridge to be in any sort of trouble.

• Soldiers dying in Iraq show that the war is a disgrace and we are stuck in a lost war. Soldiers dying in Afghanistan show that we fight for our beliefs and victory is just a matter of strategy.

• We are an incredibly backwards nation because we don’t have a health care system like Switzerland’s. We are also an incredibly backwards nation because we do have a gun policy much like Switzerland’s.

• To challenge Obama’s birth certificate makes you a disgrace to your party. To challenge Bush’s National Guard service or Sarah Palin’s son legitimacy makes you a concerned citizen

So what you're saying is that Gore would have "done it right" in the first 7.7 or so months from 1/20 until 9/11, correct?

Are you just ignoring what went on before 1/20/2001?

As much as I don't solely blame Clinton for 9/11, I don't solely blame W. either. People forget the bombing in 1993 as well.

Nothing showed partisan colors more than people who immediately said, "this would have never happened had Gore gotten in" right after 9/11.

-- PV

P.S. How can W. being taking the entire month off when he's at a school the day the attacks happened? I think you're re-writing history, as well as the fact that many Presidents (not just W.) have many "working vacations" at many locations, including their homes. Every time W. entertained someone at his ranch people would call it a "vacation," regardless of who was there and what was going on.

Just more examples of partisan politics at their finest.
 
Jack Bauer ... far worse than anything that goes on (much less authorized by W.)

• To torture the admittedly mastermind of 9/11 is really bad. Unless you are Jack Bauer. Ah, and if other countries are torturing we are ok with that too.
My absolute favorite. I don't watch 24, but I saw part of an episode (I travel, so airport terminals and hotel lobbies are where I see parts of news and mainstream shows) where he faked the killing of a family member and threatening another kin to get someone to talk.

Right now that is exactly what contractors are being investigated for, that exact use of deception. If you don't believe me, read the reports. It is defined as "torture" by many.

I cannot believe how many Democrats think Jack Bauer is "creative" and a "great American" when he does far, far worse than what has gone on. People need to turn off the TV and actually read the Congressional findings and transcripts.

People keep having to backtrack on the "torture" word because they aren't actually reading what we're actually talking about which really goes on. Bauer is far worse than what is actually going on.
