According to the Bush-Cheney ’04 campaign, “Bush-Cheney ’04 released a new television ad that will begin running all over the nation. The new ad, ‘Weapons,’ highlights John Kerry’s troubling record of opposing weapons systems essential to fighting and winning the War on Terror.”
Previously, multimedia on the Bush-Cheney ’04 Re-election Campaign website was available only via Windows Media and RealPlayer. Now Bush-Cheney ’04 site offers a third choice, Apple’s QuickTime, in “High Speed” and “Low Speed” versions.
The John Kerry campaign website multimedia is offered with a choice between Windows Media or RealPlayer. The Ralph Nader campaign website offers video clips with a choice between Windows Media or QuickTime.
See the Bush-Cheney ’04 QuickTime additions here.
The addition of QuickTime to the Bush-Cheney ’04 website follows the addition of the free President Bush Mac OS X Screen Saver. It seems that, of the three major candidates for U.S. President, only President Bush recognizes the Macintosh platform at this time.

lessee … did I get the first post?
how is this news?? MDN bias for W-Dick 04 has already been noted.
I’m not surprised their adding Quicktime. If they’ve been reading this site, they have a lot of support amongst Mac users.
Nice to see our President not excluding Mac users and actually going out of his way to include Mac users via his campaign website. Too bad the others don’t see fit to do so. Not because of this Mac stuff (although I do appreciate it), but for every other reason, another vote here for Bush-Cheney in November 2004!
focker,
The addition of Apple’s QuickTime to the President’s re-election website, is indeed “Mac Daily News.” Just because you seem to irrationally hate Bush doesn’t mean this isn’t a noteworthy item – definitely related to Apple and the Mac and QuickTime. If you don’t like the headline, don’t click it.
huh? excluding? last time I checked, quicktime, windows media, and realplayer all run on mac or windows…
so who is being excluded?
focker – “MDN bias for W-Dick 04 has already been noted.”
What a joke! There are links to Kerry and Nader websites right in the article. MDN did not need to do this. They could have excluded Kerry and Nader completely from this story. Don’t blame MDN and call them biased because Bush is the one embracing Mac users and Kerry, Nader, etc. are ignoring Mac users.
If the White House Telecommunications Office didn’t give him some cheap Dell loaded with NSA Secured Linux, he is ( at least was ) a PowerBook User.
tommy, have you tried WMP on Mac OS X? It barely works. Ditto for RealCrappyPlayer. Two piles of shit. I prefer QuickTime – wish all sites would wake up and offer QT choice.
Correction – glad to see Nader offers QuickTime, too.
I’m always surprised to see that there are quite a few Republican Mac users. You’d think all Mac users were hippie artists out celebrating Earth Day 365 days a year.
The link to the Bush/Cheney web site is wrong. The correct URL is http://www.georgewbush.org/
” It seems that, of the three major candidates for U.S. President, only President Bush recognizes the Macintosh platform at this time.”
Shame that dumb-ass bastard can’t recognize a constitutional right. But, he’s a shitty excuse for a republican anyway:
� no fiscal responsibility
� loves big government (it’s how he made his money in texass, fleecing taxpayers for a new stadium)
� completely dishonors the party of lincoln by being a religious bigot
� can bomb Iraq but can’t occupy it? not like we don’t have experience turning enemies into allies this way (Japan, anyone?). If he weren’t so stupid he could have learned from our past.
� conceded war on terrorism by limiting as many freedoms as he could and eliminating as many constitutional protections as possibly with un-constitutional and mis-named Patriot Act.
GWB is the antithesis of a patriot and doesn’t deserve to be president.
Lick Bush in ’04.
Shave Bush in ’04.
Pound Bush in ’04.
Bush/Halliburton ’04
Just vote in ’04. Diebold will take care of the rest.
Did anyone read the story in Fox News has endorsed Bush for re-selection?
That’s his biggest endorsement yet! And, it shows what a great job he’s doing fighting terror. Look, when the terrorists want you to stay in power, that has to say something, right?
Well, I’m sure Dubya’s handlers will find a way to put a positive spin on it. Like Clear Skies, No Child Left Behind, Healthy Forests, etc., they’ll probably make up some bullshit opposites name for this, too.
Idiots.
I support President Bush and Vice President Cheney and I also support their smart decision to add QuickTime to their campaign website.
OOPS. That first sentence should read “Did anyone read the story in Fox News that Al Qaeda has endorsed Bush for re-selection?”
Here’s the link again:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,114489,00.html
Before you tree hugging liberal loosers start in on Bush, I want you to know that he gave me the best blow job I ever had.
they had to add quicktime to the site. bushy doesn’t know how to use peecees…
moo.
bahahahwhwhhahahahhahahahahahah
jfbiii:
Ditto.
But those sound just like complaints of Bush by Democrats too.
By the way, before the insults start flying, I’m a Republican and have been for 20 years. I’m just not stupid enough to buy into the bullshit that this administration shovels up our asses. Any true Republican sees that this administration hasn’t held to any of the ideals that our party holds true, and the shame of it all is that our party leadership has sacrificed every last shred of its integrity in a desperate effort to win the White House (in 2000) and retain it (this year).
But on some level I can understand their motives. I can’t understand how so many people who are intelligent enough to use Macs can be so easily manipulated by the administration’s shameless propaganda and blatant lies. I’d think you were all Windroids!
I really can’t see a bias on MDN’s part – especially since they threw in the Kerry and Nader links. Have they been biased in some other article previously (other than biased in relating to Apple, Mac, iPod, of course)?
Mike,
Are you kidding? This is the most pro-Mac biased site I’ve ever read!!
The correct link to the Bush/Cheney re-selection site is
http://georgewbush.org/
MDN isn’t biased, it just knows how to get a lot of hits. Politics always gets the long threads. I bet like me that even if you don’t post comments, you are checking occassionally to read what others have put down. MDN is a business. A Bush headline for them is like sticking a picture of J-Lo on the cover.
Clear bias,
I asked if MDN was biased “other than biased in relating to Apple, Mac, iPod?” As for being Pro-Mac, Thank God for MDN! I love this site’s attitude and style and the posts to the aritcles! I even like the simple site layout.
I think this report is wrong. I’ve been watching the ads with Quicktime since the first one came out, well over a month ago. However, the Quicktime option was not featured as prominently as it is now.
Kerry’s campaign, however, has not yet embraced Quicktime.
No shit, Mike? It was a joke.
CORRECTION:
Kerry does support Quicktime!
http://johnkerry.com/download/
Note that Kerry’s “Carry On” video is presented in Quicktime.
A-Bomb,
That’s a single vid by one of Kerry’s supporters. All of Kerry’s “official” vids don’t come in QT versions. just WMP or Real:
http://johnkerry.com/videos/
Get the Mac vote, but make sure Microsoft dudn’t go down on the trust issue… wha? Uh… Auntie Trust issue.
Thanks for the link, Judge Bjork. Frankly, I’ve never visited the site, so I had no idea there was a “videos” section. I happened to see the “Carry On” video in QT format.
Whatever.
do you guys realize that bush and his advisor karl rove use macs?
that way when they’re downloadin’ pr0n, any viruses they download as well won’t fark up the white house network…
I guess someone in the Bush camp has a brain.
Just for the record I’m a Republican and a Macintosh user since 1984.
As a matter of fact, I have 14 Macintoshes.
And I’m a photographer with shoulder length hair, with an iPod, who listens to THE WHITE STRIPES.
Kooky, huh?
We all don’t look like Tucker Carlson or Dan Quayle.. altho I DO wear bow ties, occasionally.

donnie,
There’s a big difference between putting a PowerBook in the background for photos (with no apps running, incidentally) and actually using the computer. You’re giving Dubya way too much credit if you actually think he has even a clue about how to use any computer. He sure can clear some brush, though!

These are REAL, but look like the National Lampoon did them.

“But those sound just like complaints of Bush by Democrats too.”
Turkey: I know, and it pisses me off even more that Bush makes me sound like a Democrat. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life, but I’m so mad about some of this stuff that I feel like I have to. Kerry may be just as bad (or worse), but I can’t reward Bush considering some of this.
There go libs like jfbill questioning people’s patriotism again (in this case, Bush)! Typical liberal hypocrisy…
I LOVE it though–helps turn people off to their ideas and get Bush re-elected!
Go, jfbill!!
Hilarious? Check out Bush’s wallpaper (nice teeth) and buddy icons:

Mac Citizen,
For your information, here’s what a “liberal” is according to Dictionary.com:
lib�er�al … Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.
Hmmm…. Doesn’t sound so bad. But no wonder Bush and his handlers (and dumbasses like Rush Limbaugh) think “liberal” is a dirty word!
Open to new ideas for progress? Tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others? Broad-minded?
Ahhhhh!!!! That’s not what America is about. It’s about strict control over the population, Christian radicalism, and rampant war-profiteering. Don’t muddle our closed minds!
a vote for bush only proves your stupidity at this point in time… that said, somehow they crashed Safari on me 3 times, and left this very stable Powerbook with a dead finder. unable to open any finder windows, or to shut down or reboot.
has anyone else had any problems opening the videos?
i’ve had no problems loading vid from any of the sites..BTW, why does politics always inspire the worst in us? name-calling etc? WHOEVER we elect–let’s support them..if we don’t like them vote them out–but don’t everyone down with the lame negative vitriol–it’s not productive or healthy..
CitizenX:
Crashed Safari? I wonder if it has anything to do with the $2,526,731 that Microsoft gave to Republicans during the 2002 congressional races. Hmm…

Atomic Bomb sucks.
Atomic Bomb is “What is Liberal” poster.
Hey “What is Liberal”, since you’re going by the dictionary…
How do you use “gay” in a sentence?
I am the “What is Liberal” poster? Really? I must have blacked out for that one.
By the way, in the few months I have been coming to this site, I have seen more inane liberal postings than in almost any other site. There isn’t one single liberal poster that expressed a point of view that made sense yet. Either you’re all whiney/spoiled kids with no sense, or you are all whiney/spoiled kids with no sense. I don’t know, one or the other.
Atomic Bomb,
Might have been the rush of posting anonymously that did you in.
mac user 47: Sorry, dude, but this particular conspiracy theory of yours is off. Take it easy.
Gore used a windows PC to invent the internet.
[ Y’all knew I couldn’t let this just set here without sayin’ sumpin’.. ]
First, the reason the Bush people are using QuickTime is because they needed SOMETHING that comes from their administration that actually works.
Second, I think the Republican party’s philosophy is nothing short of treasonous. EVERYTHING they do starts by catering to big business and their own self-interests, all with a HOPE that a regurgitated version of Reagan’s “trickle-down” theory will actually work. It never does. Republicans are personally responsible for creating unimaginably huge national debt (financial rape), a degradation of the world’s environment, eliminating needed social services including those established for police and fire departments. The Republicans totally destroy our economy and environment with their abuse of power; a total disregard for US citizens. Unemployment numbers are dropping ONLY because the people are STILL unemployed but going from the unemployment office (a poor way to count the nonworking) to the welfare office or moving in with a relative.. Bush’s IGNORED DESTITUTE. Remember when Bush wanted to change a McDonald’s worker from being counted as a restaurant worker to being a manufacturer JUST to screw with the numbers? What a total f-ckin’ idiot!!! Why do we tolerate such BS?!!
NONE of their plans can possibly succeed beyond a few years; just enough time to make their personal profits and then leave.
It’s like being raped up the ass by them, and afterwards they give a lame excuse like, “Well, now you have a chance to see a doctor free of charge. See if he will fix your other ills.”
It is far beyond my comprehension why ANY sane person would support such a destructive administration and philosophy, or the BS they use as excuses when their plans fail.
Evaluation is simple: Are we all better off now than we were when Bush (or ANY Republican) started?
The financial raping of the US for personal gain, theft of billions of dollars, IS A HIGH CRIME… it is TREASON!!!
Wow, you guys sure are making alot of ads.
I can think up my own lies without the use of Quicktime.
This news is like saying “you can now watch paint dry in quicktime format.”
Sure it works, but would you really want to watch it?
Yeah Atomic Bomb, crashed Safari so hard, no dialog box or anything and this is on a machine that has no problems otherwise.
Restart, shutdown and the powerbutton shutdown did absolutely nothing. weird eh.
Anyone here see GW taling about home defense recently? He’s like, uh, basically saying that we’re gonna get hit again and there’s nothing we can do about it. He looks wimpy, like a fool, he studders, and that’s George Bush! Our President?!! Oh man, it was so pathetic…
Aryugaetu, I don’t suffer fools and idiots well and I have pretty much given up or reaching the brain dead who still this think this treasonus bastard doesn’t deserve a jail cell.
I for one will gladly participate in the peoples trials of these folks after things fall apart.
PREDICTION: George Bush will win the elections…(He’s got soooooo much money – it’s like the NFL before the salary cap pitting the Dallas Cowboys against the Browns)
RESULT: Aside from all the republicans being happier than pigs in shit, the country is gonna go to hell, with unheard of liberals leaving the country (which again will make the republicans happy, and turn this country essentially into a one party system, which will be very, very bad) and America will turn into a ghost of it’s greatness…
Aryugaetu, you are HILARIOUS!! Your thinking patterns are so convoluted that it is simply incredible. The problem with people like you is that most of your “thinking” (if you can call it that) is done through your emotions, not through common sense or logic. Why don’t you just move to France?
and while I’m sounding off, I have several Republican friends, so I can actuallly see people for having beliefs and and I can respect those beliefs. Of course those people usually share some points where we meet, and points where we do not. In this world, the unpolorized are in the minority, as can be witnessed on this site. All I can say is that gung ho one side or another without at least some consideration for the other is a dangerous mindset…
Although it is difficult when a President polorizes the country with his extreme positioning. The right has gone HARD right, they even have a new name – the NEO CONS. And the Left has gone more middle. I find it difficult to find any redeeming quality about GW, but I do try.
JJB: THANKS!! That is one of the BEST things anyone has ever said about me!!
Imagine a world run by emotions? True caring for each other regardless how they wish to seek their happiness?
I have always wanted the US run by women for just 4 years. It would be the country we all dream of. There is no way it would happen with the bigoted Republicans.
Liberal: Why is that so bad?!
OKAY! I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO READ THE POSTS. THIS IS MACDAILYNEWS, NOT SOME POLITICAL SITE TO JAB ON EACH OTHER.
MOVE ON!!!!!
Why do I have to move to France. If I just vote for GWB, America will be worth as much as France is 4 years from now. Except, you’ll no longer be able to say that without getting a free ticket to Guantanimo, being excommunicated from sacred citizenship, and losing any right to representation or any sort of hearing.
Face it, Bush and Asscroft are turning Reagan’s victory over communism around on us. The FBI is acting like the KGB with secret seaches and warrantless wiretaps, Guantanimo is a gulag where even citizens on native soil can be sent (without recourse) if Asscroft deems them “foreign combatants.” And there is no appeal for these things, thanks to the “Patriot Act.” Which Bush is desparate to renew, because he derives his power not from his ability to move this country forward but from the fear he can inspire by waving the draconian power supposedly necessary to stop terrorist attacks.
Give me the terrorist attacks any day. I’d rather take my chances with them than give up the freedoms that make America anyplace worth living. GWB is a traitor pissing on the sacrifice of people willing to sacrifice their lives so that we could live free of the same kind of tyranny he’s pushing on us.
Like the Red Sox, Kerry will fade by Sept and be a none player in the post season. Even if President Bush quites, Kerry, like the Red Sox, will find a away to lose. Just loving it!!!!-)
You are all wrong!! Kerry is on record: “I actually supported Quicktime before I had it removed from my site”.
Then an old video surfaced: ” I have used Windows Media Player…we resized windows…we downloaded cookies…” But when asked about this: Kerry said:
“I threw my win95 liscence over the fence in Redmond- but not my master CD”
The evidence is clear: Kerry is dual-platform!
Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rummy and I all in a circle jerk make my 2 inch penis harder than any of you tree hugging liberals could ever make it. Of course, Cheney actually has to hold Bush’s hand and make it happen himself.
obviously the obvious posts are not mine. Tree hugging, lame ass terrorists wishing they were me as usual.
You get the feeling that whenever the guys (or girls) at MDN get bored they put a politically slanted topic on their board?
That last post wasn’t mine. I actually am into the circle jerk I mentioned above.
You liberals really are a disturbing bunch. Thank the lord we have a saint of a man leading the US. Bush will win in 04, bless his soul.
I’m in love with a goat!
“Thank the lord we have a saint of a man leading the US…” – granny
Karl Rove is a saint? Wow. I always thought he was kind of an asshole.
I voted for Bush, but now regret it. He is using “terror” as a reason to impose his own terror, removal of personal rights and even imposing his own religion (anti-gay marriage). I am not gay, but do not see the fear that Bush claims there is if my gay neighbors marry.
The US is not under any more threat than we were before, but Bush constantly causes waves of fear and dread in his speeches as a reason to push his own cause. He said the war was over a year ago, and hundreds more of our sons and daughters have died as well as thousands of others (which he never seems to mention) from around the world.
Bush has become the expert in delivering FUD (fear-uncertainty-doubt) as a mode to rule.
I am sick every time I see his image knowing that I helped unleash this idiot, bigot and yes, a real domestic terrorist using the media as his bombs for causing needless fear upon my neighbors in order for them to follow his sick self-serving logic. I am very very sorry for voting in someone that sent your sons in to be killed so Bush can control a little more oil!
I am very very sorry!!
I’m in love with Atomic Bomb, Aryugaetu, and our hamster. We just hate it when thhhhhhings get scarey. Please, please, please, don’t make the terrorists angry. We might faint at the thought of it. pffffft, woopsi, excuse me.
Hitler/Stalin on the Republican ticket in 2008. They use Quicktime format, so they must be good, ja?
that was so unimaginitive that I didn’t laugh once! C’mon, I know you can do better than that! Take your time, think, and give it another try! Make me laugh!
Nobody cares to make the jester laugh, G-Spank.
Of course, former Nazi Carl Roverer (now known as Carl Rove) will be running the campaign. And of course, as was in the past, the Bush family will do business with the Nazi party behind the scenes, even when we were at war. Business with the enemy should never be stopped during war. Look at the Bush family working secretly for oil under Iraq.
What is a jester?
You are the jester, you idiot. Get your head out of your ass.
All you liberal tree hugging hippies make me want to go out and blow something up. So I blew my dick up Bush’s ass.
Oh, and despite what I might say in my future posts, this really is posted from me, Jay Rice.
The Jay Rice ones, tho, they were damn funny…
My head isn’t up my ass, Jay, it’s up yours.
Dammit, that post was not by me, that was G-Spank!
They weren’t funny! I am NOT an ASS!
Your pennies have been in my ASS!!! and that obviously gives me the upper hand…
(But I sure like ass!)
I also am in love with my goat!
G-Spank, Pennies? Don’t you mean his stack of dimes is in your ass?
…and my goat loves me. All we need is love. And a little humour.
you liberals reallyy are desperate. you’re a dieing bread.
Alan, Isn’t bread already dead? How do you have live bread? What the hell are you talking about? Take your medication.
No, you’ve missed the joke. It’s pennies, and if you don’t get, that’s ok by me.
You are the joke, G-Spank.
I’m sorry that I’m such an idiot. Please accept my apology as I quietly sulk away.
Yeah granny, I can be pretty hilarious at times, but then again sometimes I talk intelligently about things that concern me. I suppose that’s what separates us…
G-Spank: “…sometimes I talk intelligently about things that concern me…”
That’s when you’re the funniest! Give us more! More hilarity!
Man, I wish we could get all the anti-Bush comments on this thread distributed widely. They are SOOO hateful AND disturbed that they would help Bush win by even more. Areyougaytoo, c’mon, you’re on the Bush payroll, right? Don’t ever stop being you!
Rock on, Bushman!!
Enough with the pro-Bush bias please. It’s not appropriate.
I am no longer clicking ads to support this site, as I normally do with sites I frequent.
atomic,
obviously a typo, no wonder Jay Rice picks on you.
bush is a loser and so was his dad.
btw, can somebody tell me why we’re in Iraq again, pleeze?
no groan,

donnie,
What kind of a loser calls himself donnie? what are you 5? go to the nickalodian site where you belong.
In fact, the line has been crossed. I can get mac news anywhere, but have enjoyed getting it here for the amusing editorial comments. It’s pure personal preference, and the Bush nonsense turns me off.
The editorial slant here has become less amusing… so I’ll be checking this site much less for now, and relying more on other sites like MacNN.com, MacMinute.com, MacCentral.com, and MacRumors.com. It’s too bad, because for Apple news and commentary, MDN has been nice to have around.
I wonder if MDN will have a headline pointing out that http://www.moveon.org uses QuickTime and has for some time? For instance:
http://flash.moveon.org/pac/images/clarkeiraq.mov
http://labridge.com/zimark/mon1701_censure/censure.mov
http://http.dvlabs.com/carolina/UNCOVERED_Trailer_270K_MP4.mov
How about this site that REQUIRES QuickTime?
http://www.bushin30seconds.org/
I’d have to tie Bush to Microsoft, not to Apple, if lies for profit are the standard. Of course, Microsoft’s lies and lack of planning and expensive blunders won’t be killing Americans for years to come. Bush’s Iraq policy, support for the wealthy alone, and lack of attention to domestic issues will be doing just that. They already have.
http://misleader.org
Mac Dude, actually i find it to be the exact opposite on this site. The pro-republicans don’t talk issues, they hurl childish insults (with a few notable exceptions). Look at this thread! Look at yourselves!
Anyway, I am doing what most of the decent people have already done with the political threads, I’m gettin the hell out of this stink pit! Much like what will happen if Bush wins, the country will be left to people like granny, Mac User 47, Jay Rice, and the others. Enjoy!
G-Spank, that was very well said. I enjoy your comments very much. Though I am sad to see you leave this thread, I will think of you often, with one finger up my ass, and one driving my two-ey…
donnie,
I am haunted by the fact that I cannot suck my own dick.

WHOEVER we elect–let’s support them.
swan, did we elect Bush? I don’t know where you were in December of 2000, but I remember the Supreme Court justices, including the ones appointed by daddy Bush, appointing Bush president. Let’s don’t go revisionist here and talk about re-electing someone who wasn’t elected in the first place.
machead, a better baseball analogy would be that the US voters are like a manager who has to decide whether or not the pitcher on the mound needs replacing by the pitcher warming up in the bullpen.
These ads won’t work against Kerry, as anyone with a functioning brain knows that more fighter jets and bombers won’t help fighting terrorism, and will instead create more terrorists, just ask Israel. But it makes the defense contractors rich, you know, Bush’s big campaign contributors. Pure war profiteering.
Let’s face it, if you’re a Bush supporter, you’re a racist. Like my redneck cousin said, “Let’s kill all the Arabs and take their oil, like we took the land from the Indians. We can apologize later.”
neomonkey,
Pfffttt! Smell that? It’s just for you.
neochimp,
you are the ultimate tool. great ananlogies, yeah right. you are a terrorist supporter you tool!!!!!
neochimp,
you are the ultimate tool that I like to have in my ass. those 3 years that I spent in the 6th grade taught me a lot. i am proud to be an ignorant, illiterate redneck republican, just like my president. i want to grow up to be a guy that never did anything for himself and then be appointed president. i will also run the country into the ground, start wars that don’t need to be started, and shit myself each night. my vice president, a reincarnation of hitler himself, will change my diapers for me. i will later be known as the worst president ever.
Does this mean the films showing the Weapons of Mass Destruction which were hidden in Iraq and were the primary reason for invading Iraq are now going to be shown in QuickTime movies on the web?
I can’t wait.
Bush sucks
Wow, you US citizens are really getting into it, sorta. Hey, wake up, the administration has crossed the line. It ain’t a question of reelection or not. Its a question to see if you people have the balls to go down to Washington and deliver this guy to the Hague.
You need a hero or a team I don’t know.
Frankly, I hope Bush gets reelected. Armageddon needs someone like him. But hey, don’t say you were not warned.
Kerry, man of the (rich and unapologetic) people. I don’t know too many people that could afford such a haircut, would consider such an expenditure justifiable, or would be so vain.

“I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here.”
“I can assure you that, even though I won’t be sitting through every single moment of the seminars, nor will the vice president, we will look at the summaries.”
Words from Dubya’s mouth.
I like to dress up in high heel pumps, put on a wig and lots of make up, and have Atomic and Ary video tape me with my John Kerry blow up doll. John Kerry’s oh so cute!!!!!
G-Spank, re: The pro-republicans don’t talk issues, they hurl childish insults (with a few notable exceptions).
I had the same thought right before reading your post and that’s been my impression with all the politically-tilted topics. I bet any observant, unbiased person reading this stuff would notice that… possibly with a “WTF?!” reaction, too.
It’s hard imagining anyone who’s politically indecisive being encouraged to support Bush after reading comments from his supporters here!
Like Nagromme, I may soon be drifting away from MDN. I’ve enjoyed reading many posts on different topics, but filtering the large amount of ongoing abusive behavior (from people who seemingly have no desire to stop spewing it) has gotten intolerable. I’d rather participate somewhere where people respect the diversity of thoughts and opinions of each other, and can communicate (even argue) about them with decency and civility.
smucker, again, Kerry bashing won’t do any good. It’s just a diversionary tactic. When a pitcher gives up several runs, he gets jerked for a reliever. Bush has been a disaster for the country and the world. He should be impeached for lying about WMDs in Iraq as an excuse to invade a sovereign country that was in no way a threat, a toothless tiger as Scott Ritter put it. November can’t come fast enough for US citizens to vote the Bushtard out. Let’s see how far the Republicans go to steal the election again – “just vote for whoever, let Diebold do the rest.” Yes, it’s going to be a nasty campaign, but if the same crap happens this time, look out, this country is going to come apart at the seams.
the liberals of the world are sadly misinformed. they only give the terrorists of the world hope. it shouldn’t be this way. liberals have extremely short memories. it’s really a shame. George Bush is a hero and will make this world a better place like it or not liberals.
“Then I went for a run with the other dog and just walked. And I started thinking about a lot of things. I was able to�I can’t remember what it was. Oh, the inaugural speech, started thinking through that.”�Pre-inaugural interview with U.S. News & World Report, Jan. 22, 2001 issue
neo-freak,
you’re going to be mighty disspointed in November. Bush will win and continue to make the world a better and safer place. Thank god your opinion amounts to a pile of sht.
George Bush is right. He do right thing. my people should be ashamed. they let terrorist have win. Bush is great.
If the liberals give the terrorists hope, then the Republicans give them recruits. What would you rather have 100 terrorists with hope, or 100,000 of them with no hope, only pure hatred for the USA?

I would rather continue to anihilate these terrorists. They are devils. Appeasing them will never work Mr. GSpank whatever the hell that name means.
here’s some good reading for you liberal folk.

stp,
it’s hard to imagine anyone voting for a liberal after reading their posts you one sided tool. Good riddance! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Sianara! Idiot!
Iran ‘rushing to build nuke bomb’
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/04/27/iran.nuclear/index.html
What do all of you liberal tools think of this? I bet you love it. I hope they don’t give a terrorist a suitcase version to blow up in your city.
here’s some more fun reading for you liberal tools:

GOV. BUSH: Because the picture on the newspaper. It just seems so un-American to me, the picture of the guy storming the house with a scared little boy there. I talked to my little brother, Jeb�I haven’t told this to many people. But he’s the governor of�I shouldn’t call him my little brother–my brother, Jeb, the great governor of Texas.
oh yuck,
you are an idiot! Not Bush you! Go to hell.
“Actually, I�this may sound a little West Texan to you, but I like it. When I’m talking about�when I’m talking about myself, and when he’s talking about myself, all of us are talking about me.”�Ibid.
And all of you liberal tools should listen to this to. I think that we should go out and elimiinate the ruler of the country that goes and attacks another country without provocation. Only this time we have 100% proof that this country has WMD. That leader is a religious zealot that thinks that his religion is the only one and all others should be silenced. That leader was put into power not by voting, but by his brother and by people appointed by his father.
Help us remove this bad guy from office. Do it in November. Remove Bush.
PS – Bush is my butt buddy, so I need him around more often.
PPS – If anyone else posts as Jay Rice and says that it’s not me, they are lying.

Seelye in the New York Times, June 28, 2000
“And if he continues that, I’m going to tell the nation what I think about him as a human being and a person.”�President George H.W. Bush, on the Today show, Aug. 1, 2000
funny how all the euro-trash that visits this site think they’re experts on the US government. you people are low life jokes. You like to go back to the 1970’s and 80’s and other earlier times and blame everything on the US. We could easily back track your pathetic little excuse for countries and come up with millions of instances of atrocities and corruption that make anything you think the US has done pale in comparison. France, Germany, Russia, illegally backing Saddam right up until the end. Truly pathetic.
George Bush is awesome. I will vote for him in 04 and so will the majority of Americans. Sucks to be a bleeding heart liberal!
I’d hate to be a terrorist with George Bush in office!

Interesting points in the short article:
“The opposition group says the nuclear weapons effort by a special military unit functioning secretly outside the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization is under the personal supervision of the Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s supreme ruler.
“In a recent report, the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] said parts of Iran’s nuclear program are under military control.”
And…
“The NCRI was the first to make public Iran’s secret nuclear weapons research activities at sites in Natanz and Arak. The IAEA subsequently confirmed them.”
Since the WMD creation has supposedly been “confirmed” by the IAEA and if we use the justification for going back into Iraq, then we MUST go invade Iran. Either that or it is almost certain proof that the Bush administration wanted to invade Iraq for reasons other than WMD.
“I don’t know whether I’m going to win or not. I think I am. I do know I’m ready for the job. And, if not, that’s just the way it goes.”�Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 21, 2000
W.
I’m sure we would if we weren’t stretched to thin. They’re next.
9-11, two airliners destroy the world trade center, Osama bin Laden found to be culprit
Our Plan?
Bush decides to invade Iraq, one of the only countries in the Middle East that the Al Queda Network is at odds with, and has no base of operations from whatsoever.
Don’t be a fool, the Terrorists are LOVING IT!
The terrorists are scared to death who are you kidding g-spank? What corrupt, scared, european country do you live in mate?
123Rock:
The terrorists are scared to death? Is that why Fox News reports (via Associated Press) that Al Qaeda has endorsed Bush for re-selection?
You are a brain-washed idiot. Wake up. Open your eyes. Take a look at the real world.
What corrupt, scared, european country do you live in mate?
Take out the European part, and think about this administration and you have your answer…
I am a patriotic American, and it is my partriotism that will have me at the voting booth this election.
They don’t seem to be scared to death.
They seem to have more of a desire to
blow themselves up as a walking bomb
for the sake of Jihad.
The men who flew the planes into the
World Trade Center towers and the
Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania,
didn’t seem to be scared. They seemed to
honor the chance to do it. Which, by the way,
I could not condemn more than anyone of you.
The fact is, we are fueling their desire to carry
out terrorist plots.
What is the answer? I do not know. But I do think
there is a better way. And making sure our allies
are behind us is a first. Say what you want, but it
is true, we will need our allies in the future in a
very big way. YOU, just wait and see. The U.S.A.
can not in anyway be the Big Brother of the world.
So, all of you huge GWB fans, before spewing your
hatred for anyone with a disdain for GWB’s foreign
policy, please try to rationally explain to me how YOU
see this working in the future. I am a loyal American,
I just don’t see it. So if any of you have the ability to
explain your view point, please do.
g-stank,
you are no patriot sister. give that one a rest. Atomic Dump, Al Qaeda cave men really are dumb and gluttons for punishment. You two wussies can keep cowaring in your hiding places.
the rest of the world will never back the US on anything. they are all jealous, petty, and seek to undermine us. they revel in our misfortune. no one, I repeat no one will help protect the US but they will look to us for protection. the last thing the US will ever do is sit by and hope the rest of the world will give us a permission slip to attack terrorists. George Bush is the perfect person for these times to run the US period!
the problem with your logic, geraldine, is that he is not attacking terrorists, he is attacking Iraqi’s, which is spawning terrorists. For every one terrorist he kills, GW creates three. It’s like drinking negative soup, you’ll only get hungrier. The Terrorists WANT GW to win the election. Hope you “patriots” feel good about being in agreement with the terrorists.
the Iraqis that are terrorizing are terrorists. a lot of foreign terrorists have slipped into Iraq and are causing problems and stirring the pot (Iran, etc.). I say flush them out and send them to allah!

April 29, 2004 — WASHINGTON – The vast majority of the United Nations’ oil-for-food contracts in Iraq have mysteriously vanished, crippling investigators trying to uncover fraud in the program, a government report charged yesterday.
The General Accounting Office report, presented at a congressional hearing into the scandal-plagued program, determined that 80 percent of U.N. records had not been turned over.
The world body claims it transferred all information it had – including 3,059 contracts worth about $6.2 billion for delivery of food and other civilian goods to the post-Saddam governing body, the Coalition Provisional Authority.
But the GAO report also found that a database the U.N. transferred to the authority was “unreliable because it contained mathematical and currency errors in calculation of contract costs,” the report found.
The GAO findings, which were aired at a hearing of the House International Relations Committee, raise new questions about corruption and mismanagement in the biggest-ever U.N. aid program – and what has been called the biggest financial scandal in history. An earlier GAO report said Saddam ripped off over $10 billion.
Committee Chairman Henry Hyde said the report raised serious concerns – and could have “a potential impact on the reputation and credibility of the United Nations.”
“If these charges prove true, some of the obvious victims are those Iraqis who failed to receive needed assistance,” Hyde (R-Ill.) said.
“But the damage extends further. The massive windfall resulting from this organized theft allowed Saddam to maintain his grip on the country, line his pockets and make companies and countries dance to his tune, with consequences we are still trying to contain.”
Investigators are interested in Benon Sevan, the U.N. official who managed the program. Sevan denied wrongdoing after his name appeared on an Iraqi newspaper’s list of several officials, businessmen and others who profited from the program.
The oil-for-food program, which the U.N. ran from 1997 until the war, allowed Iraq to sell oil in order to buy food and other civilian goods – thereby easing the sanctions imposed after the 1991 Gulf War.
A former oil-for-food program coordinator testified at yesterday’s hearing that in the early stages his U.N. superiors were openly hostile to U.S. efforts to contain Saddam.
“For reasons I have yet to fully understand, several U.N. leaders approached the implementation of the oil-for-food program with more distrust towards the United Kingdom and United States than towards the regime of Saddam Hussein,” Michael Soussan said.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan fired back.
“If you read the reports, it looks as if the Saddam regime had nothing to do with it. They did nothing wrong – it was all the U.N.,” Annan said.

It seems as though everyone — liberal and republican alike — are unaware of the absurdity of waging war on terrorism.
It is an impossibility. One cannot declare war on a methodology, and “terrorism” is a methodology not an ideology.
We can have a war on the A-rabs, on the Moslems, on the whole middle-east, on the commies, on the lesser races, whatever you’d like that actually exists. But it’s an impossiblity to have a war against an ideology.
And will you people cut it out with using others’ handles? It’s useless and annoying, and has not once in this thread argued your point well or elicited even a chuckle (at least from me). Now, of course, this post is just asking for such a name-usage.
For the record: This is the first and last time I’ll be using this name, and I don’t really care if I have typoes throughout this post.
Have a nice day.
I love reading conservative dribble; no arguments, just ad hominem. We fight in the Afghanistan that Reagan created. We fight in the Iraq that Bush Sr. created. Haliburton incorporates overseas while Chaney is CEO to conduct business with Iran. You cons sure do a good job encouraging terrorism. bush is so fragile that people have to sign a statement of support for him before they are allowed to hear him speak (Saddam was a fan of the planted crowd technique, too). Most of America is tired of having a clown for president; this latest conservative joke ends November 2nd. Mildred, if you want four years of bush, better stop shaving.
