after 8 years of the left BASHING AND...

Why you son of a .....

I'm shootin' the owls in my back yard tonight.

$10K fine per owl, big shot.

I'm probably the only one on here that's been publicly elected so that means I get to be president. The rest of you can wait.

Prom Queen doesn't count....gotta be since you've been voting age....

I'm better than AZG. I got elected to the school board in a landslide, 67% of the vote.

[Wedgebuster]

Two for two myself as a director of the fire protection district, 0-1 for State Senate.

Losing in a public election is personally humbling but certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Especially when running for School Boards and the offices I ran for where there is no pay involved.

I am proud of AZs run for School Board, thank goodness there were so many candidates that the public had so many choices. I see a lot of those positions go unchallenged around here.

The thread should be titled the First 8 Years of the Left Bashing and..........

This will continue for another half century for sure.

I'm impressed with anybody that runs for an elective office, win or lose. It takes balls to put your name on a ballot and most people would rather just sit back and bitch. Nobody likes to lose and if you get beat you can't help but feel a little bad. Plus local officials are the ones that make stuff work unlike our idiots that we send to D.C.

[ATrain]

I'm going to bash every president until 2028 when I can run, b/c the only person who can run this country exactly like I want it run is me.

Would that be the Jerry Falwell Presidency?

Actually, Jerry Falwell would roll over in his grave knowing some of the stuff I've got planned comes from a graduate (bachelor's and master's degree) of his school.

Self defense dback. Those GD owls attacked him and I'll testify to it.

Excellent... sounds like my kind of Liberty kid, very few of you. I went to high school in that god forsaken hole of a city, I've been back maybe 5 times in the past 7 years.

Falwell sits in Hell along with Saddam and awaiting their brother in arms, George W. Bush.

Wedgie---there were 7 candidates for 3 slots. Four good candidates and 3 horrible ones. I was one of the good guys (apparently, based on vote count), but was odd man out when it came down to counting votes....humbling, yes. But also kind of a neat experience thinking that there's 5,000 people in your community that WANT you to do something important. I'll probably be running again in 2 years, unless I land this CEO gig, then I most likely won't have time.....

Sounds good AZ....let me know if you need me to come out and campaign for you or publish an endorsement or something.....

And you guys wonder why we have zero respect for you. Equating the past president of the United States with a dictator responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people. You're pathetic.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought you WERE speaking of Bushie Jr.

Actually, I often take it one step further by including the jackelopes who supported Bush in your equation.

Well, Kerry (and Clinton and Edwards) voted for the war, so one would assume they might have gone on to war anyways, so supporting Bush in 04 wasn't much different in supporting Kerry. Both of them have American and Iraqi blood on their hands. That's why we need real change in Washington, not just more of the same parties.

Not really, Bush & Co. concocted the ruse. Ultimately, no Bush = no Iraq war

1) There's no way to know that (one way or another), 2) most Dems refuse to blame Dem politicians who voted for the war. There was very little difference between Kerry and Bush (you may refuse to admit that, but from an outsider's view that's based on their policies). This is not a defense of Bush, it's simply stating that Dems supported the war and may have done the same. Not holding those politicians accountable is just as bad as not blaming Bush. Bush Sr. was smart, he knew going to Baghdad was retarded, even James Baker said so.

You know how I feel about Bush, but to me, those who supported Kerry supported the war. He voted for it, and planned to support it, he had no call for bringing the troops home. He has blood on his hands too.

Very much agree with you. My point though is Bush is primarily responsible as the orchestrator of the debacle. If there were a trial, Bush would be found guilty and executed, Kerry would get 30 hours of community service.

HAHA, probably so. I agree, Bush by far carries most of the blame. Glad my boy, Ron Paul, voted against the war from the outset. I sorely regret my vote for Bush, but at that time I still carried the idea the many on here represent, choose the lesser of two evils. I won't do that again. Not that my vote matter then in North Carolina.

Gotta remember fellas, the war was voted on during a time of uncertainty and paranoia. Our populace was largely angry and/or frightened by the airline attacks, and Bush was goose stepping all over the place about the sky falling. Incumbents in congress felt the pressure from all sides, especially from their constituents to follow Bush off to war without question, lest they be tossed the following year at mid-term election time.

Saying so and so democrat voted for the war is a nice convenient dodge, but spin it is, nothing more.

I found it amazing here in my state that polls showed our state residents were actually afraid of an attack by Bin Laden on our humble abodes, in Wyoming.. That indeed is pure paranoia.

It's not spin, it's the truth. What you said is actually a cop-out. If they had any moral fiber and really believed the war to be wrong, they would have sacked up and voted against it, like a few did (all of which are still in congress). The fact is, they were more concerned with re-election than doing what was right (if they really were against the war). You may be ok with them shipping kids off (and killing innocent civilians) to war to keep a job, but I'm not. That is a huge cop-out, and I think you know that. How can you honestly justify voting for a war (you're against) just to get re-elected? That's bullsh!t, plain and simple.

It is sad if you would give them a freebie because they didn't want to get voted out of office.
