Yes, it's true.

I can't believe you made me work so hard!

Thanks Carlene, I was wondering who those people were. I think I am going to chalk those up there with the JFK assassination and the US entry into WWII conspiracy theories.

I tried to post the entire article, but it wouldn't let me highlight it, for some reason.

Laurend, HMMM, the sort of investigation done to prove that Clinton is responsible for these death's seems eerily simmilar to the proof that the universe is less than a few thousand years old or that the Noah's flood happened or that evolution is a myth and finally that global warming is a not caused by mankind.

You know what they say in Texas or maybe Tennesse fool me once.......

I definitely don't believe everything I hear about Bush. But the fact that some people do doesn't mean that it's right that you pass along crazy conspiracy theories, either. Whatever happened to "be the better person" and all that crap?

And I'm sure if you looked back at any of our lives, we all came in contact with a lot of people that died under circumstances that could be interpreted as "suspicious" if they were twisted enough. For example, a 1st cousin of mine was murdered, a second cousin of mine died in an unwitnessed ATV accident, an aquaintance of my brother's that I had been around drowned, several of my schoolmates died of overdoses, one schoolmate died of a brain aneurism, the wife of one of my university's deans and a couple of my schoolmates were killed in the recent plane crash in Lexington, Kentucky, etc., etc., etc. Does the fact that I am connected to all of them in some way or another mean that I killed them all?

I find it interesting that when I post anything, it has to be unequivocally wrong. lol. So much for tolerance and equality.

That's not true. Just when the stuff you post IS wrong. Don't blame us for discrediting that crap. Blame yourself for posting it in the first place.

lol, okay laurend, I give. You can be the queen of this thread.

I don't want to be the queen of the thread, damn it. I just expect people to stop acting passive-aggressively when the crap they post is rightfully shot down. Hell, I learned a long time ago that if I didn't want to get smacked, to stop doing things that got me smacked. I'm pretty sure we all learned that lesson. So if you don't want to be told that you're wrong, make sure you're not wrong. It makes things a hell of a lot easier on all of us.

Come on, we're all adults here. We should all be acting like it.

OK Leatha you can be the queen of this thread, I'm wrong your right, wah, wah, wah, etc. etc. etc.

Gets a little bit predictable along with incredibly childish. Maybe you should pass someone a note in gym class.

Let's take a survery. How many of us think Tommy is really the one acting rather childish?

...another unexplained conspiracy is, that someone qualified enough scholastically to survive Yale graduate school -with a higher grade average than Mr. Kerry- qualified as a fighter pilot, able to muster a political team resilient enough to win Texas Governorship, the Presidency and stomp the stuffings out of 40 years of democratic good-old-boy Washington shenanigans....continues to have such criticism hosed upon him daily...

I understand the visceral hatred some have for him, his accent, his personality, his smirk, the way he walks, any action he either does or doesn't do....and that political choices he makes generates an ongoing and deep criticism by his detractors.

So what.

If Clinton and Gore hadn't done such a piss poor job in their time in office Bush wouldn't be where he is.

So who is the best choice for the job next time?

That the concept of 'science' and 'professional treatment' we are all following in our Bandster instructions, which has such a wide diversity of theories, approaches, explanations as well as results, suggests to me that matters of even less solid grounding in the rational realm, is bound to have even more diverse opinions, theories, and goals.

Our form of government is filled with countless examples of second and third guessing about how to resolve issues of national concern....all of which makes some folks happier and some less so....

The current conflict transcends whether we like or don't like Bush.

Great post, Jack....and not one insult in the entire thing!! :clap2:

I guess I'm totally confused. My posting items against Bill Clinton are passive-aggressive and crap. Rightfully shot down by snopes.com?

So tell me, since I'm always wrong in my postings, where do YOU go to get all the RIGHT information? I'm seriously asking. I just don't understand how what I read is so much inferior to what you read. Because it doesn't agree with your thinking, does not necessarily make it wrong. Does it?

No, Leatha. Your complaining about being contradicted and proved wrong and basically saying that "others can do it, so why can't I" is passive-aggressive.

To get the "right" information, I generally go to reputable sources. I try not to rely on hackish conspiracy theories to try and place suspicion on someone. I try to research the authors and see who the sources are. And when it's something that even the researchers at Snopes.com can find fault with, I know it's probably not the best stuff to use in a debate.

In regards to Jack's post...what in the HELL are you referring to? The situation that Bush is in now has no correlation whatsoever with the Clinton/Gore administration. In fact, during that administration the national budget was BALANCED and for the FIRST time in history, this country saw a surplus!! Where are we now? But I guess you can't see that this country is in the worse shape ever looking through those rose colored glasses. Case in point, Bush WAS NOT elected, but APPOINTED president by the Supreme Court of the United States and he can investigate pertinent issues and events only as deep as the oil industry's pockets will allow him.

Peace Out

T~:hippie:

Hey, has anyone experienced what I just did..... I got an email telling me that "Tanderson" has responded to my post on this thread, and letting me read what was posted, but when I went onto LBT to respond, the post isn't here. I have refreshed my browser a bunch of times. Tanderson, did you remove your post or is there something wrong with either my computer or this thread? Help?

and the "Pollyanna" one wasn't the post I got on my email....

Gosh, "peace out" appears to only apply to you and others you agree with? What is with the "Pollyanna" comment.... did I insult you? I agree with Jack on the fact that we see things a certain way based on our different perspectives. I can see that you are one of the people that can't get over the 2000 election, no matter how many recounts there were that showed that Bush won. Even if you can't accept THAT, then how do you account for the election 4 years later which he won by a larger margin than Clinton? OK, now that we established that you can't accept anything good about Bush, fine. But please at least accept that what you say about Bush's ability to "investigate pertinent issues" is your opinion....not mine and certainly not everyone else's. Say what you want, but allow others to state their opinions without being ridiculed, please.

Lets take a poll and see if Gailannr is able to grasp satire.

Quick stand up things seem to be going over your head.
