what is your view on the song "not ready to make nice" and view points of the dixie chicks. What are your reasons for thinking the way you do?

I'm asking seriously. To me, it's obvious his administration has been plagued by many lies. I'm trying to understand why somebody would still support George Bush. So I'm looking for a real answer - if you want to just pile up abuse on me for asking, that's your perogative, but it won't get anyone anywhere. Also, please don't tell me Clinton also lied. I'm aware of Clinton's indiscretions. It's Bush I'm asking about.
Bush finally admitted to wirte-tappings and secret prisons which he formerly denied. He also admitted Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, although to me, in the weeks leading to the war, he did link the two on every occasion possible.
So do you a) Think he didn't really lie - explain why, or b) Think that he had to lie in order to do his job properly and that the American public is better for it, or c) Something else?
Feel free to expand.
Thank you.

It’s precisely the scale of the U.S. failures in the Middle East so far that compel Washington to raise the ante even higher. At stake is the biggest imperial prize of all--control of the world’s main oil reserves, and with it, the economic and political levers to maintain the U.S. as the world’s sole superpower.

One minute Muslims are acting all peaceful, blessing everyone, talking all calmly and quietly.
Then someone publishes some silly cartoon of Muhammed or the Pope just happens to read from an old manuscript of a former Popes opinion and immediately the Turbins fly!
Genesis: 16:11-12
"The angel of the Lord said to her further, Behold' you are with child, And you shall bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael,Because the Lord has given heed to your affliction.
And he will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone,s hand will be against him;
And he will live to the east of his brothers."

it has come to my attention that whenever liberals or democrats make valid points that show the negatives of Bush, republicans or conservatives just dismiss it as "liberal propaganda". they don't face facts. they deny everything the news and online articles have ever said that Bush has done! that's b.s. ...republicans and conservatives never have anything decent to say to back up their support of our president. they also tend to say the same thing over and over again, usually about the war. when they know full well that we are not accomplishing anything in this so-called "war on terror". meanwhile, liberals and democrats have thousands of points to make that discredit Bush and that discredit him fairly. it's time for them to accept the fact that he is not an ethical man, and that he is a very poor manager of this great nation.
i'm tired of Bush's lies and how he took away our civil liberties with the Patriot Act and the illegal warantless phone-tapping.

1. Why are the majority of people who think this Latino?

2. Why is it supposedly an act of a bigot to not support an illegal act?

3. I came here with my family from Mexico legally, but unlike some I was raised to assimilate and take pride in my new country, by speaking its language and working to make it better, so why do people think just because of my background I should support open borders?

4. Why do people always bring up "but this country was founded on immigrants..." yeah, that was 200 years ago when we actually needed citizens, now this country is suffering massive wage cuts, tax increases, lower standard of living, more diseases like TB, larger classrooms, and higher crime due to illegal immigration, so your outdated reference is nonsense?

5. Why do people always bring up "This country was originally blahblah's then you stole it?" Look throughout history, most major countries were stolen! Stop living in the past and get a real argument.

As you can see there, whites were the only group that voted majority bush. And as you know, the nonwhite % of americans is increasing like wildfire. Will the republican party/conservative way of life die? Discuss.

I don't want to think it's possible but I can't help but think it has to do with the upcoming election. This seems so far-fetched to me yet I can't think of anything else. Someone please help me understand why a gallon of gasoline is now about a buck cheaper than it was after Katrina and about 60 cents cheaper than a month ago.

I don't think it could be just supply demand and usual price drop after labor day arguments just because of how huge the drop is but if you can make a strong case for these ideas be my guest.

Why is it that the US can demand that Myanmar's military dictatorship and Cuba's new leadership hold elections when Bush supports Musharrif's military dictatorship of Pakistan, the repressive gov'ts of the former Soviet Central Asia, and the murderous regime of Saudi Arabia? Not to mention the American track record of close dealings with oppressive, unelected dictatorships such as South Korea, South Vietnam and Chile. Why can't the US be more consistant and stop compromising morals for immediate gains in resources and military base rights?

there are thousands of innocent blood on the hands of the republicans. They supported terrorists states in the 1980's and 1990's and even supplied them with chemical and biological weapons.

The Aided Saddam ( A dictator that has murdered thousands)
They supported Bin ladens family after 9/11 to leave america and safely travel to Saudi Arabia.

They supported The Israeli Terrorist state and their leaders that bombed and murdered innocent children. ( Republicans will say israel defended itself and hezbollah hid with civilians which is bogus and just a scape goat to cover their anti american crimes)


There is so much more but too much to mention.
