    The scenario where I claim Bush is hiding because 60 minutes isn't at the meeting with the soldier's family is so lacking in any sort of concrete logic that I'm just not even going to bother.

    Instead, we'll just do this, I'll slow down for you.

    The day you can show me one Democrat who CAMPAIGNED for this war, doctored intelligence to force through a vote on it or had a hand in planning it, I'll place as much blame on that Democrat.

    As it is, though, the blame is placed perfectly.

    Wormer? He's a dead man.
    Marmalard? Dead.
    Niedemayer? Dead.

    The president meets with families of dead soldiers all the time. It is not in any way, shape or form using them for politics the way Ellis did.

    They think he's stupid and they thought they could get him to trip up on something. Keep squirming. What you did to our dead soldiers is there for posterity.
     
  6. I have no reason to squirm. I'm glad those names are there for all to see, including you. Read them. Read all of them. Then have a nice day.

    Tony, I'm trying one more time, and if you still don't fucking get it, then you're on your own. Meeting with the families is not a political move. It's not wrong, it's not underhanded. At no point did I say it is.

    HOW THE FUCK EVER...

    Having 60 Minutes come with him is, at the very least, allowing his good move to be used for political purposes, even if only by coincidental occurrences. It also could have been a very craven attempt at using the memory of the soldiers and the emotion from their deaths to show the country that GWB really does care, so please let him continue his political agenda.

    That's fucking it, and that's fucking all. If you still want to cover your ears and sing a song instead of actually paying attention, then I give up.

    I hate it when politicians play politics. Who do they think they are?

    I have a sneaking suspicion that old_tony is very close to making himself believe that listing the soldiers killed in Iraq is worse than the president sending them to die for no reason.

    Close to? I think he already believes that.

    You would be right if -- AND ONLY IF -- he acted differently when the cameras were there than he does when they're not there. That CBS chose for one very rare instance to not ignore the many good things he does is on them, not him. What Ellis did was despicable. What Bush does was part of what he does every day. Does it now become dispicable just because 60 Minutes showed up? The only variable in the entire scenario is 60 Minutes, not anything Bush would have done. Yet you want to place blame on him for that.

    Come on, Pallister. You're fucking smarter than that. You have to be, because you can clearly inhale and exhale an oxygen/nitrogen mix at the rate necessary to be alive. How are you too missing the point that Bush is using soldiers' deaths (not to mention the ones on 9/11) as catalysts for his personal agenda? That's all I'm saying! If you're ok with that happening, be ok with it. If you're not, then rail against it. But please, spare me the automatic defense of Bush doing everything right.
