    What an insane Christian terrorist. This god damned pile of Christian shit needs to be tried and executed for his war crime atrocities atgainst humanity, and for his treason against the American people.


  2. AvengingAngel says:

    The twin pillars of the coming Bush approach to Iraq appear to be a “surge” in U.S. force levels combined with the sacking of the generals opposed to it.

    Please do not let the muslims gain a foothold in America.It leads to all kinds of communications between them which invariably leads to thoughts of Allah which eventually leads to sleeper cells which eventually leads up to terrorists which eventually leads to bombings which eventually leads to killings.This viscous cycle of Islam and Islamists coming to America must stop now.You let them get setup,and before you know it they are like rabbits or mice,they are everywhere speaking that foreign lingo like no one knows what they are thinking.When we actually do know exactly what they are thinking.They go into a trance and then start murmuring Allah`s name and before you know it that demon spirit has taken ahold of the boy and twisted his soul up in black sashcloth trying to eat it alive for all eternity.This is why muslims and the muslim faith must be stamped out on a worldwide basis.I am all for congressman and senators to keep us safe from the roving bands.Muslims are trying to gain a foothold onto christian ideals and territories.We will not stand for this.I have alot of faith in Mr. Reid.He will vote to keep this war going so we can stamp out terrorism and the Muslims.They are threatening Christianity.This will not stand.When the Roman Catholic Church tell any nation to go to war,they go to war.Nations have no choice in the Vatican`s decisions.They all obey the Vatican.Even the United States of America.Our Vatican is the most powerful govt.and the most powerful banking establishment in the world.You cannot change this.Therefore you must come on board to be spared from noncompliance with the Lord our God.You have no real choice.Not at the end of the day.It`s God Almighty or nothing.

    He’s like a 5 year old, covering his ears, eyes closed, shaking his head saying “I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening…”


  11. normalasf says:

    I’ve never understood this adminstration’s refusal to answer “hypothetical” questions. In my reality-based world we call this “planning”.


  12. RUCerious says:

    Only dangerous thing about it is that it exposes this lying bastard to the truth about his neocon fantasies!


  13. tom baker says:

    A non-hypothetical dangerous retard is our CinC, and we may yet see our first military coup. At this point, I’d rather have a military coup than 2 more years of dangerous-retard-in-charge.

    And, before some borderline retard wingnut points it out – Dubbie has earned every last scrap of hate that’s directed at him right now, so cram in in your pie-hole.


  14. Zooey says:

    Dangerous thought.

    Hmmmm, I wonder if it’s ok to think chimpy is nuckin’ futs.

    “Absolutely, we’re winning.”

    “We are losing.”

    Yo, Ansheil ———–I choose Nothing!


  17. theswan says:

    chimppy knows best and no one dares to standup and question his intel….


  18. n says:

    To consider a hypothetical requires the ability to think. This ability is lacking in the shrub


  19. Tom says:

    Translation: “dangerous hypothetical” = “I refuse to answer because it may tend to incriminate me”

    Of course, judging from the looks of our Moron-in-Chief (see: http://thumbsnap.com/v/6YvXAPG0.jpg), it might also mean “damned if I know”.


  20. tom baker says:

    Can we get Asswipe Vinaigrette banned for repeated, off-topic, 5000 word posts, or what?


  21. kelso says:

    Please don’t cut and paste anymore pathetic ranting Answeil Vacharette (R) Va.

    Please.


  22. Doktor Texas says:

    It just really bugs the crap out of me when this man ‘discovers’ some new words and uses them trying to sound like he knows what the fu*k he’s talking about. “Ooh, its my personal secret that I plan to disregard the will of the majority of Americans, legislators and Militray strategists and do what I goddamn well please in Iraq.”
    This man is just plain dangerous because he knows he has two whole years to do whatever the fu#k he wants and ain’t nobody gonna’ tell him “No”. “Besides, the next chump dumb enough to want to be president after me is gonna’ have to clean it up. Responsibility? Shoot, not on my watch.”


  23. Raven says:

    #’s 8 (and 9…)
    …. this is your “Daryll” on steroids…..


  24. RUCerious says:

    Raven – exactly my thought…
    Except Daryll has some lucid moments.

    Comment by Answeil Vacharette (R) Va

    That “toilet” flushing sound is the impending removal and banishment of any/all this trolls posts.

    Everyone, say “adios, mo-fo!”

    Yea, Judd’s on the case…


  26. Hardy Haberman says:

    The word delusional keeps springing o my lips when I see Bush. He looks and sounds like a man who has lost touch with reality. This is not just a rant. He is sick and needs to step down.


  27. Rick Brannon says:

    who is this Answeil Vacharette person? a bit of a whacko…


  28. Spudge_Boy says:

    Therefore you must come on board to be spared from noncompliance with the Lord our God.You have no real choice.Not at the end of the day.It`s God Almighty or nothing.

    First of all, the big button at the bottom of your keyboard is called the space bar. In America we separate each sentence in a paragraph with one or two spaces and you might want to break your thoughts into those paragraph things I mentioned before.

    But, as far as your rant goes, I hate to break it to ya, but Allan is Jehovah. The Muslims and Christians believe in the same God that the Jews believe in. You people all believe in the same glowy man in the sky.


  29. RealityCheck says:

    Bush’s plan to escalate in Iraq is excellent, as far as I can tell.

    There are only three small considerations to be dealt with here:

    1) Most Iraqis want U.S. troops out of their country;

    2) All but 12% of Americans want U.S. troops out of Iraq;

    3) If he does go ahead and escalate deployments, the moderate Democrats in Congress, who have been content to this point to stand on the sidelines and watch Bush self-destruct, will cut off funding for the war, if not outright impeach his criminal ass.

    But other than those small considerations, it’s an excellent plan.


  30. The Other National Anthem says:

    Really quite excellent, Reality Check.
    The best estimates say it will take one FU and two BS’s (that’s Biden shots) to find those ponies!
    We know they’re out there! They’re in the area around Baghdad and Tikrit and east, north, south, west of somewhat!!!


  31. bjb says:

    The poll on CNN was an eye operer for me. I was surprised at how close the vote is.


  32. meanpeople suck says:

    #28 I hate to break it to ya, but Allan is Jehovah.

    Really? Wow, and he’s never said anything. So modest…..


  33. Yikes says:

    “It`s God Almighty or nothing.” Let me go check something………. Yup, Muslim and Christian god are one in the same. They just follow different writers.


  34. Yikes says:

    Damn Spudge_Boy, you already pointed out the duality of the gods. Then again, these people need to be reminded of their blindness.


  35. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    I honestly don’t think that Bush knows the meanings of the words “dangerous” (which applies to him) and “hypothetical” (which applies to his ideology, which drives his foreign policy).


  36. mr JJ says:

    Bush is Surging regardless of what ANYONE says..

    Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, the top U.S. Middle East commander and a chief architect of U.S. strategy in Iraq since the war began, will leave his post early next year, according to a statement by his command released this morning.

    “A dang-yer-ass hyper-schitzoidal “


  38. Madison Guy says:

    The big “Special Report” graphic breaks into the Today show with its blaring, excited fanfare and I wonder, “Oh shit, what now?” But it’s just a Bush “news” conference, and with it, the unbearable lightness of listening to the Deluded Decider stumble along and do the same old same old one more time. The Unbearable Lightness of Listening to Bush. Not winning, not losing, gonna hang in there, more troops, wouldn’t be there if we couldn’t succeed. Nothing new and I drive off to work, scanning the radio stations for the news conference. Can’t find it. That figures. Must not be important.


  39. Bluedog49 says:

    If we’re not winning AND not losing, BUT people are dying, I’d call that a NET LOSS. And, in the same conference, our dear leader said that we’ll be at war until we “vanquish hate.” Man, that’s going to be a long, long war.


  40. RUCerious says:

    Dangerous (Bush) and hypothetical (his leadership ability) have only one possible meaning.
    You 89% who don’t want more troops in Iraq just don’t know what is right for the country.
    This would be much easier if it were a dictatorship.


  41. Bluedog49 says:

    Special thanks to Answeil Vacharette (R) Va. for demonstrating that christian dogma can be very damaging to marginal minds.


  42. Bluedog49 says:

    That really wasn’t a very dangerous question. This could be a dangerous question: is man a creation of god, or is god a creation of man?


  43. RUCerious says:

    Bluedog – are you somewhat uneasy about this consistent framing of good against evil, hatred against freedom, etc, ad nauseum that the chymp keeps coming back to????


  44. MarchDancer says:

    I do not know who is crazier, Bush or the Poster of Length. I do know which one is the most dangerous, however. One I can ignore. The other one can blow us all to his Kingdom Come.


  45. RUCerious says:

    here’s a dangerous hypothetical
    What if there really are
    rodents of unusual size?


  46. Republicans are the fear and smear party says:

    Bush was against increasing troop levels before he was for it.


  47. Bluedog49 says:

    RUCerious, I’m a little uneasy about everything he does. I’m more concerned with dangerous men than I am dangerous hypotheticals.


  48. little birdie says:

    That`s right!! Si Byl had nothing to do with the postings.I did it.For one simple reason.unbelievable needed to be exposed for the little lying brat that she is.Since she has been exposed and refused to apologize to the board.The postings have now ceased because of one Zooey had asked me very kindly to stop.Her wish has been granted.

    Unbelievable,you seem to sweep what your lying words mean to people as you sweep crumbs off the shelf right into the garbage can.You have no need for anyone but yourself.No details necessary.You have shown your ass.To me.To others.
    To all the posters on this board.You have shown your real you.It is a very dark and very ugly person that you are.
    I trust you`ll be having no problems with posters here in the future.
    And try not to play the victim in this when you are anything but.
