Bravo! Give the Fascist's what they really deserve--a dose of the truth, over and over to combat their Nazi Big Lie. Go Bruce!

....because I never tire of hearing wealthy, entertainment types go off on their personal rants and causes.

Bono(r) is my favorite: He makes millions, does tax avoidence by staying out of Ireland, then expects US taxpayers to forgive loans of their money to foreign governments. Must be nice giving away other folks money.

Now, Springsteen's unhappy. I guess it's must have been that tour in Anbar province with my nephew last year...

SP4 I think your irish granny (who hates ireland) must have dropped you on your head when you were young. your are the only living human on earth that still believes everything that george and dick say. Now thats a little bit freaky and disturbing. can you give us your fans just one thing
they have done or said that you disagree with because if I were them I'd
get a court order out on you as some kind of taxi driver style stalker
or nut job mentalist who probably has a room in granny's house with a shrine to the white house. have you been through their bins yet to find dirty tissues or something else that can make you feel close to them.
You realy arent the sharpest pencil in the case are you?

SP4: Disagree?? -Here's the list!Oct 5th, 2007 - 23:33:57

Bush failed to go get a Constitutional Amendment defining legal status on foreign nationals who commit wartime actions on the USA.

Bush failed to get a modern amendment on search and seizure, tailored for the 21st century.

Bush should have sent Valerie Plame to Pakistan, or the Sudan on a mission and THEN outed her, and tell every f--king employee to make f--king sure they know who's in charge!

Cheney should have shot her husband on a f--king quail hunt!

Bush should have attacked Iran instead of Iraq, and saved them for last.

Bush should have dealt with N. Korea alone....maybe...

Bush should have either just dealt with Saddam instead of going to Congress, or demanded ALL of the dems vote for action before going.

Bush f--ked up on the steel tariffs. What th f--k was he thinking? My associates pay $100.00 for what used to be a $26.00 stick of f--king iron! There's your illustration of managed f--king trade!

Bush shouldn't have never let Jimmy Carter go ANYWHERE! No President should!

Bush should have told the dems he'd pull out of IRAQ upon the first successful vote in Congress. In fact, he should goad them into it!

Bush should have told the dems he'd send troops to Darfur the moment they backed the same kind of action in IRAQ. After all, who cares WHICH muslims are protected?

Bush should have 'chryslered' Enron to a win, THEN tried and convicted the officers!

But most of all...he REALLY f--ked up not trying and convicting Sandy Berg(l)ar, the only mistake that possibly proves he may be as f--king dumb as some of you say!

I agree with those who say Cheney is smarter. I wish HE was the President and BUSH was the vp! All of this would have been done!

Brian, stick to what you know, dumpy Irish pubs, whining and crying about why America will never be the marxist paradise you toss to and that whining irish bigots like you living in the culture of grievence, matter less than Britany Spears weight.

Once again a poster has to resort to the F-word to get his message across - too bad, it puts it into the unintelligent, low-class category!

Now SP4 dont be getting all angry because they have made many more mistakes than you have just mentioned.
So your irish granny who thinks ireland is a shithole well since she left it stoped being one and America became one. Does this not tell you something.
4 is a very unusual Irish surname. are you related to the guilford 4s by any chance.
No honestly I think you are actually bill o'reily because you tend to spout the same right wing crap that could only come from Fox noise.

...is the mother of all screw-ups.

Actually, I worked on H. Ross Perot's campaign in 1992. Yes, I've actually left the republican party when I felt it no longer represented the reagan ethos. Actually, Perot giving Bush 2 the nod was a large influence on me. After meeting Ross, I felt that had to be a diifcult choice.

Now, I've never been back to the motherland, and if it is the land of milk and honey, so be it.

If you have ever been to America, Brian, you would know it is a lot of places. Yes, we have Compton,CA but we also have Pendlton, OR. There is E. St. Louis but also Miami. So,, Brian, we're pretty proud of our country, and our accomplishments in the world.


You want to hate Americans? Pick a number. Marxist bigotry is still bigotry and the white sheet and pointed hat is just as much yours as David Duke's. I've met your bretheren before, the culture of grievence. They want redress instead of progress. This is not to, in your case assuage guilt, but to aasuage anger.

It will never, neve work. At the end, you will still be an angry little Marxist, and you will have made no progress.

Me? I operate under the premise that change plus improvement equal progress. This is why I happen to like a President that I had to hold my nose to vote for. He has, utterly, no vanity. His only poll he watches is the voting poll. His advisor, not Rove but Bush 1, has told him that none of this demonization matters and to get done what he wants to get done.

I wonder what the next president's president will tell her? What experiences will he share with her? Where to hide the cash-filled brief cases? How to lie to a judge? Who to sell pardons to for money? How to obtain FBI records on your political adversaries? How to raise campaign money from the Chinese and Russians?

Of course not. SHE already knows the answers! She is well prepared for HER term.
