@prooc

Remember, all we knew about Arnold, the most practical pick of the time, was that he was a Milton Friedman fan. Ronald Reagan was a Republican with a very dubious past that turned out alright, he could have been worse than Arnold, and Arnold could have been better than Reagan. Even very smart people like Hugh get it very wrong sometimes. Easy to say in hindsight that Arnold has been an abominable governor. Difference is Hugh puts his opinions out for the public, you and I do not.

[prooc]

@FORMETOKNOWONLY Lol, he's the same idiot who made fun of and discouraged people for voting for Tom McClintock instead of Arnold in the California recall election, when it turned out that Tom ended up getting more of the vote than Bustamante in the election anyway. This idiot would support a communist if he thought it would win the republican party seats. He's a complete and total fraud.

[FORMETOKNOWONLY]

People like McCain and Hewitt is what is wrong with the Republican party.

True conservatives need to take back the party or start a third one, but it can't survive having RINOS.

Sorry, Hugh, you were wrong in backing McCain on Republican principle alone. McCain is a RINO. Republican In Name Only. McCain is a turncoat.

"Saddam did his murdering in the 80s for the most part. ...taking him out in 2003 was a lame lame lame excuse... as are all of your excuses."

haha, "for the most part" Just don't mention that millions of Iraqi people lived in fear as his sons roved around picking up woman for their rape rooms, or people they didn't like to throw into their giant meat grinder. Also, why was Saddam found to be developing WMD when we went in? What is your lame excuse Mr. fancy pants? :)

[kmardes]

saddam did his murdering in the 80s for the most part. even before the u.s. invaded kurds had their own defacto area of iraq. so, taking him out in 2003 was a lame lame lame excuse... as are all of your excuses.

[kmardes]

anyone who supports the iraq occupation is full of it. its wrong from every perspective. the country wasn't even a threat to itself in 2003. embargoes were long in place, small unorganized military, etc. And the u.s. saw a ripe fruit for the picking where it could gain a foothold in the strategic region. very simple.

and you're sitting her preeching that we did it to 'help' the iraqis, because we felt like spreading 'goodness'?

how naive are you??? very much, i see

kmardes:

"no way, the u.s. is the biggest polluter by far."

And how do you know this nugget of knowledge? Is it from China's adherence to statistical accuracy and truth telling in general? LOL :)

P.S.

Also if the liberation of Iraq from the murderous dictator was illegal than the UN should give back the 6 billion they've *accepted* from us every year since our "illegal effort". haha., ya right.

How old are you by the way?

[itreeye]

kmardes:

"you're so full of it as you twist words to meet your personal agenda "

Do you mean when wrote that *All* people are free, and have rights, just because they are alive. Okay, so you think I made that up and it is not a core, foundational US value. Can you at least admit that it would be good if it was?

P.S.

That wasn't very nice to say that I'm 'full of it'. But don't worry, I don't take you seriously enough to feel bad from your abuse.

[kmardes]

no way, the u.s. is the biggest polluter by far. china will eventually pass, but they also have 4 TIMES as many people. duhhhh who is doing the overconsuming here??

spare me the we'd be enslaved speech. in modern times of the info. age no invasion of iraq was necessary, nor justified, nor legal, nor moral.
