Some thoughts while listening to the President speak...

He took a question from a reporter who said something along the lines of "A recent poll showed that the American people think that Democrats would do a better job handling the war in Iraq and what would you do differently

You do realize that Al-Queda has NOTHING to do with the war in Iraq, right? Al-Queda is a separate terrorist entity and operates in many countries not even CLOSE to the middle east, including South America. What about the cells located within our good friend Israel's borders

I did read the Rolling Stone article.

Then I read this article which blew Kennedy's tinfoil hat wearing 'facts' to shreds

The blog you posted is interesting, but taking each of those points as separate entities does not invalidate Kennedy's points. Any SINGLE point would not have made a difference overall as the poster pointed out. Several of them would have. Regardless, the vote in several states was too close to tell. I'm sure there are arguments for both sides for and against. I agree polls are not always accurate, but there was enough of a discrepancy...an UNUSUAL thing...to get people to ask questions. There were a lot of these "coincidences" that could have added up to a different result.

"What I don't get is the anti-war sentiment that you carry ">

I never said I was anti-war. I neverK said I do not support our troops. Accusing me of such appears to be the normal reaction for those who believe you should never question the government. You aren't the only one who has friends and relatives serving in Iraq and Afghanistan you know

That's the thing. I only have my own opinion and that's about it. I'm not fighting on the ground in Iraq and until then that's all I can really go by is my own observation of what's going on.

There is no way in heck that I can change anybody's opinion and I'm not about to. Respect my opinion and I'll respect yours, unless you're uninformed.

But you will never entertain the notion that perhaps you are the one who is uninformed?

[rwilli82]

If being informed means that I have to spew out "Bush Lied", "Bush Sucks", "Oil", "Oil", "Oil", "The 04 Election was stolen", "I voted for it before I voted against it", "Its Bush's Fault", and "The 00 Election was stolen" then yes, I could entertain the notion that I'm uninformed

I couldn't have said it better myself!
