Are you saying that you can only be considered successful if you succeeed at something criminal?

Actually, I was saying that you said that, extrapolating it from your statement "Success equals meeting your objectives" . . . because you neglected to mention what means are legitimate and illegitimate in regards to meeting said objectives.

Uh, as I stated in other posts:

  • I'm not a Democrat
  • I'm not a liberal, but a moderate (ex-Republican in fact)
  • My agenda is to be anti-PNAC and anti-Neoconservatism (two aspects of the political landscape that I have noted that Bush supporters evade discussing)
  • At this point, continuing to hurl "loser" at the anti-Bush platform is simply hurling invective, which is in and of itself indefensible

Please stick to the issues . . .

the liberal dummcrats

Why are redundant phrases like that repeated from Bush supporters?

refusal to unite behind the legitimately elected President

There are extenuating circumstances. PNAC is the biggest. The fiscal and economic policies of the Bush Admin during a time of war is yet another.

it gives the Fanatical Muslim Extremist followers of bin Laden reason to think they can be victorious against a divided United States

How come the Bush Administration is not bothering to reach out to its opposition within the US? Unilaterilsm is not conducive to unity. And the by-proxy "war on liberals" is given legitimacy, thus. All during a time when we need more unity than ever. Bush had that unity—however, that was squandered during March of 2003.

There are significant differences between RWR and GWB notwithstanding (apologies to the Port Authority bridge that shares that particular acronym :-P ). Reagan was not engaged in a "war on terror" on our present scale; he also did not borrow heavily from foreign countries; there was no NAFTA or any other such trade agreement; outsourcing had not reached pandemic proportions; Reagan was far more adept at foreign relations, I daresay; and although Reagan claimed to be a fan of the "free market", he nonetheless did not offer the level of protectionism and corporate welfare to the super-rich that they currently enjoy. Reagan also didn't give the EU a reason to unify quite rapidly, nor to engage in a single currency . . .

The idea for the euro dates back to the Maastricht treaty and predates bu$h 43. The Maastricht treaty was signed on February, 1992 (bu$h 41). According to Denmark's central bank, the implementation history of the Euro was as follows:

"On 1 January 1999, 11 EU member states acquired a single currency, the euro. This was achieved by locking the exchange rates for the legacy currencies of the participating EU member states (euro area member states) vis-à-vis the euro. For the first three years, the euro existed only as electronic money, while the legacy currencies still existed as banknotes and coins. However, the fixed parities of the 11 legacy currencies vis-à-vis the euro meant that they were no longer independent currencies, and consequently they were no longer traded in the currency markets.

Three years after the introduction of the euro, i.e. on 1 January 2002, euro banknotes and coins were put into circulation. The three years up to 1 January 2002 were necessary in order that all parts of society, e.g. retailers, the financial sector, companies and the public sector, could prepare for the full transition to euro. This period was also used to manufacture euro banknotes and coins."


The implementation of the euro took place mostly under the Cilnton Administration. Only the final preparation for physically creating and distributing the new currency took place under bu$h 43,

I suppose you recently read a picture book that had the words 'neoconservative' and 'deflective' in the first few pages and they stuck, huh? Try to keep in mind that while every democratic candidate since Dukakis has tried to compare himself with John F. Kennedy, by todays standards, you'd have to classify him as somewhere to the right of Rush Limbaugh. If you really want to look at things honestly, Conservatism has migrated from the democrats to the Republicans over the last 30 - 40 years. Concervatism has just switched sides. What the democrats have morphed to is a form of neo-liberalism.

BTW: What do you suppose Kerry and your neo-liberallies would have done during the Cuban Missle Crisis?

Don't forget with whom you are dealing here. He has some kind of mental problem the forces him to talk down to everyone that disagrees with him; he was probably bullied at school and sees this as soem kind of 'revenge'. Evidently he has very little contact with other humans; if he did, he would know how to adress them properly.

I suppose you recently read a picture book that had the words 'neoconservative' and 'deflective' in the first few pages and they stuck, huh?

Why the evasion of discussing the Neoconservatives? They're in power now; they've been partially in power since 1993 and fully in power since 2001. And yes, your style of argument is "deflective" since you answer nothing of what I post when you reply, but instead change the subject.

Try to keep in mind that while every democratic candidate since Dukakis has tried to compare himself with John F. Kennedy, by todays standards, you'd have to classify him as somewhere to the right of Rush Limbaugh

See, you did it again. This thread is about Karl Rove, not Dukakis, JFK or Oxycontin-Man. If I wanted to discuss those people, I would have started a thread about them. As it stands, they (apart from OxyRush) have no effect on the current political landscape. Try not to answer me using non-sequiturs, if you can.

If you really want to look at things honestly, Conservatism has migrated from the democrats to the Republicans over the last 30-40 years

Then where did the Conservatives go all of a sudden? All I see running the country are Neoconservatives. No Conservative would engage in the fiscal policies that Bush is pursuing—not a single one. And how does this relate specifically to Karl Rove?

BTW: What do you suppose Kerry and your neo-liberallies would have done during the Cuban Missle Crisis?

Another non-sequitur. I don't own any "neo-liberallies", BTW. Remember, I'm a moderate ex-Republican?

No, those are not the issues. Can't stick to the point, can you? And who is "my side"? Getting back to the issues:

  • "Winning" is invalid when the tactics are invalid.
  • The "war on liberals" (which includes labeling anyone who criticizes Bush/PNAC a "liberal") has taken on more importance than the "war on terror".
  • Bush's tax cuts are not improving the economy, but sending it into the abyss.
  • Bush's borrowing from foreign countries (including Communist regimes, incidentally) is a danger to our national security.
  • The southern borders being wide open is most likely allowing more terrorists to slip through—and when they get their orders, we won't be ready.
  • Given the pork in all the spending bills Bush has signed, there is no conservatism going on in DC.
  • "Liberals" are not the enemy; and until the Neoconservatives stop treating them as the enemy (this includes non-liberals thus labeled "liberal"), the country will remain divided, and our safety remains in jeopardy.


Tell us again what you won? It'll seem like a hollow victory before long, I suspect. As it stands, you seem like a symptom of the country's illness.

Hey . . . the idea of a unified Europe goes back to the Holy Roman Empire, so what. It's not the mere birth of ideas, but the timing of their execution.

You may note that the Euro came into being during the time when the Neoconservatives were gaining strong political ground in the USA.

I am successful because I have met my objectives and I am not a criminal. Perhaps if you feel that only criminals are successful then you might be hanging with the wrong crowd.

Dear sir, is this merely a reading comprehension problem with you? I did not say, "only criminals"—rather, I said that merely defining "success" as meeting one's objectives includes the "successful" (i.e. not yet caught) criminal in the definition. The suggestion therein is that the definition of success thereby has to be narrowed down.

Why are you guys so miserable? First of all, unemployment is lower now than ever during your buddy Clinton's two terms. Secondly, it is your party who wants open borders and won't hear of any law that will send the military to our borders to block illegal entry. All your side can come up with is to raise taxes on the people. Get this, a family of four with a yearly income of $80,000 is NOT rich like your party hacks believe. Taking into account buying a home, saving for their children's education and saving for that retirement down the road, most people in that range are close to living paycheck to paycheck, yet rich dilitantes like John Kerry, who has nothing in common with the working class, think they make too much money.

Fred, read the original posting. Olog only wants to discuss Karl Rove as a "shadowy figure". He rejects any deviation from that scenerio. Therefore you cannot deviate from that discussion - ergo - agree with him that Karl Rove is a shadowy figure or he rejects the argument. I have opted out from discussing it further with him.

I thought he might try to form a coalition of our allies to negotiate with the soviets to remove the missles. He also would have started a massive building program so that there'd be space in a bomb shelter for every American child. Finally he'd ask congress to give him money for the defense of our borders and then veto the vote in congress when they approve it.

unemployment is lower now than ever during your buddy Clinton's two terms.

Unemployment rate October 2004: 5.5
Lowest unemployment rate during period February 1, 1993 to January 31, 2001: 3.8 in April 2000
Lowest unemployment rate during period February 1, 2001 to October 31, 2004: 4.2 in February 2001
Number of months in period 2/1/93-1/31/01 that uneployment was lower than or equal to rate in October 2004: 61
Total number of months in that period: 96
Total percentage of time in Clinton's two terms that unemployment was less than now: 63.5%

So as you can see, not only is unemployment now NOT "lower now than ever during...Clinton's two terms," it is in fact higher now than during more than half of Clinton's two terms.

So another case of "You're either with us or against us?"

Can't anyone be against neo-conservatism without being some sort of socialist?

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a liberal, but liberal != socialist.

No, liberal does not have to equal socialist. It's just that most liberals have socialist tendencies.

Hey Dude, maybe the sad and sorry excuse of a politician has a reason for his fuzzy headed thinking. Just wondering, how would we react if we were married to a nut like his wife? Just wondering.

How foolish of me Dude. Thanks for the reminder; must not trudge on Olag's silly domain without being politically correct about it.

Well, just keep watching my back Dude. I will finally get it straight to play by Olag's rules. It just takes a little time.

D-I-V-O-R-C-E . No one is totally useless. She'd likely be good for paying much alimony. Wadda you think.

Ms. Kerry is very pragmatic when it comes to marriage. Her goal has always been to become the first lady. She's married a two senators who had a shot at the Whitehouse. Now that Kerry's shot his load, how long do you see the marriage lasting? Do you think she'll make another run at the Whitehouse on another 'jackass'?

Yet another statement with no basis in truth.

As are you.

So, what evidence do you have that your statement about most liberals having socialist tendencies is nothing more than your stupid opinion?
