u.s. vice president laughs at amnesty international

[basschick]

"Vice President Dick Cheney says he is offended by Amnesty International's condemnation of the United States for what it called "serious human rights violations" at Guantanamo Bay. "For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously," Cheney said. The vice president also said he believes the insurgency in Iraq is "in the last throes.""

Crazy isn't it? And on top of everything else, saying we need a "tough ambassador" with the current state of world politics? Fuck I seriously believe we've only seen the beginning of the most destructive administration to ever control American politics, it deeply saddens me :cry: :cry: :cry:

That's what they were saying 4 years ago.

What makes you think that sincethey got away with faking the last two elections that they won't fake the next one?


NEVER trust a Republican. They're all liars.

[basschick]

i actually know a few nice republicans, but they're not "neocons".

I would personally love to see a Hilary Clinton/ Rudolph Guiliani presidential face-off! But with Rudy just about out of the picture, chances are it will be Clinton vs. BIll Frist... and who the fuck likes Bill Frist, anyway? His mother would probably vote against him.

Plus, a vote for Hilary is a vote for putting Billy Boy back in the spotlight.. and you all KNOW how much fun HE is!

I want Hillary! Although GW was pushing Jeb for president the other day. fuck all

I know plenty of nice Republicans, too. I just don't trust them. In my experience, Republicans are Republicans because they care about nothing other than their own wallets, others be damned. I could be wrong. I haven't met all Republicans.

you may want her, but you aren't going to get her. people so conservative that they don't trust fire aren't going to vote in a female president. have you ever looked at the sites of people who voted for bush, and who are trying to wipe out porn? a lot of them don't believe women should work at all. and there proved to be a LOT of people like this last election.

i like a lot of things about her, but i feel that a vote for hilary is a vote to keep the republicans in power...

You just never know with these things... as Bush has well demonstrated.

CNN reported a recent poll found 29 percent were very likely to cast a vote for Hillary Clinton for president and 24 percent said they were somewhat likely.

The story also quotes recent polls in New York where 67% of New Yorkers want her to serve another term in the senate there. 61% of New Yorkers polled said they want Hillary to run for president.

She hasn't even started campaigning yet and her numbers, nationwide, improve with every poll. I'm hopeful :high:

[basschick]

*sigh*

don't be TOO hopeful. the polls showed bush losing at one point. we have a LOT to lose if we all vote for hilary and she loses. keep in mind that the midwest people who voted for bush include a lot of folks who aren't online, and so they aren't polling.

exit polls showed the more educated people voted for kerry in the last election.

Well you know Bush's job ratings have been declining.. which is good news... with 2 Republican terms and a fucked up world.. maybe they'll go back to a Clinton after all they do have a proven track record :high:

http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm The Bush approval rating continues to steadily drop, on all polls, across the board. But you never know.. maybe his war on porn will bring a healthy jump on ratings, depending on how he distorts what he's really doing. :francais:

[basschick]

it amazes me how many people i've actually talked to think of porn as more of a danger than starvation, child abuse, or drunk driving.

what is WRONG with these people? you can filter porn to keep your children away from it, but the amount of abused children in this country is really scary.

Well when you are such a "puritan" country and prohibit alcohol and limit erotica etc. people go nuts. Human beings are sexual happy creatures by nature unfortunately the society they live in dictates the neurosis they will suffer. Each society is unique in how they try to control human behavior to further the governments goals.

Of course the religious would say that abuse is caused by porn and alcohol/drugs. They don't see these things as symptoms of the repression religion forces on society. The good news is that as science advances.. more and more people see the reality of life, not organized religions lies. Ok off the soap box now .. your turn princess :high:
