What lie did I make up? I have a lot of disagreements with President Bush.......Spending like a drunk sailor and immigration come to mind but when you whacket out left wing party puts up duds like Gore and Kerry well its a no brainer as to whom I vote for..

"Unlike you I don't vote for a president on one issue be he republican or democrat"

When have I voted for any president based on one issue? Please post facts that claim that I do such a thing. If not it is a lie.

I agree the democrats put up crap candidates the past few elections. Which is why I voted for Bush both times.

That's a very unhealthy situation for anyone. I would rather the President not be sexually frustrated. As good as it sounds to have them simply ignore their sexual desires it humanly cannot be done by a great majority.

An interesting note.
You state how it is indeed difficult for the president and his wife to have sexual relations. Thus building sexual frustration and most likely tension in the relationship between husband and wife. This leads to clouded thoughts on day to day activities, running the country in this case, as the President tries to hold his marriage together and deal with his sexual frustration. The president is then condemned as a sexual predator when a female intern consents to performing a sexual deed on him relief from frustration that was most likely placing a burden on the man doing his job. It must suck, pun intended, to be President.

Keep in mind I think it was weak willed and terrible judgment on Clinton's part to cheat on his wife. I guess the President can be weak on many things (education, speaking, planning, etc.), just not will.

Have you seen what happens to presidents' appearance as they are in office..It's a tough job--OF COURSE it affects them. If you're not up for it DON'T RUN!

(no pun intended there...:3oops: )

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?

I completely agree. I could certainly never do the job. However, I would rather have the president place his personal life in jeopardy then the countries. If the choice is between a President who got a bj from an intern and a President who makes his own decisions despite what the rest of the country and his own advisor's say/want, I will take the bj everytime.

Well after reading all your posts for the past year or so the only issue that seems important to you is your hatred of President Bush..............

I guess you don't read to much then. I have only two problems with Bush.

1. anti-gay marriage push
2. Poor war planning and leadership

The last one is a big no no in my opinion.

 

[Navy Pride]

I think Clinton was a brilliant man and could have been a good president if he could have kept his fly zippered...........He embarrassed the office the president more then any man in history.........For the life of me I can't see why Hillary stayed with him unless the rumors that she is a switch hitter are true........No woman would put up with that ****...........

 

[nort_12345]

i would give that award to bush

This is where our priorities differ. I find the presidential decisions involving the country matter more then his personal life.

I base my opinion of the President on what he did and/or did not accomplish for the country while in office, not what he did or did not do in his personal life.

Yeah he was to busy getting BJs in the oval office to do anything about terrorist attacks on the USS COLE and the Kohbar Towers...........

:rofl

How many BJ's did he get? He was getting them during those attacks or during planning to stop them too? I haven't read that anywhere. Do you have a source?

No one can ever stop terrorist attacks 100% of the time. That would be impossible. Clinton and/or Bush are not to blame for any terrorist attack unless they specifically downgraded the anti-terror efforts which resulted in us being attacked.

You can only blame the attacker for attacking.

Nobody can stop them all the time but they can sure as hell do something about them when they take place and not just talk about it like "The Slick One" did..

What exactly would you have had him do? Invade the middle-east? They searched for the terrorist and caught them two years later. That's war. We place military in aggressive areas we have the chance of being attacked.

Clinton and Bush are not the point of this thread.

If the President's personal life defines or perhaps matters more his professional life is the topic.

 

[Jerry]

He did that but he knew it did not have a snowballs chance in hell of passing......Hell I am even against it.........Its called politics my Liberal friend.....

Ha!
I just got called a Liberal!
Me!

 

[jallman]

I would vote for a gay man or woman as president, but never solely on those grounds. The office of president is not a position from which to promote any agenda except the edification, security, and prosperity of the American people as a whole. Sure, sometimes this means that civil rights advocates must raise issues, but the office of president is not such an arena. If the candidate were fair, effective, and intelligent, then he/she would get my vote regardless of race, creed, religion, or orientation just as I would withhold my vote for lacking the same qualities.

 

[jamesrage]

No, I could not vote for a gay president (or any canidate) because it is against my morals.

Thats a good point,but what if both candidates exhibit qualities that are against your morals,then who do you vote for?The lesser of the two evils?

 

[Spartacus FPV]

Ha!
I just got called a Liberal!

Don't think too much of it, its Navy Pride. He calls everyone a Liberal who disagrees with him, even me. Then he blames your disagreement on "your blind hatred for Bush!"

I would expect him to do something, anything, not just say we will get the people that bombed the COLE and then head for the oval office for a BJ.

Again claiming Clinton was brushing off Presidential duties because he would rather get a BJ. I guess if you say it enough times it must be true. Screw facts.

Hi Navy Pride, how are ya good? I'm great...Got a question for ya....Have you ever gotten a blowjob? I have....feels good dont it? In your honest opinion as a man who's probably gotten blowjobs atleast once in his life. Does it make you worse at your job? Or does it help you go to work with a smile every morning? If you said it makes you worse at your job or w.e. it is you do nowadays, I know this great doctor. Want the number for her? You two can talk...and she'll try to find where the problem is.

I agree from the tone of the question that Dept. of Education is just another beurocracy. However, it is nice to see the First Lady intimatly involved and promoting education from the top. She was a teacher at one time and I do trust her judgement because of that. Have you ever heard her give a speech? 10x the speaker her husband is.

I agree 100% here.

I know you will ding me for this, but here is a quote from wikipedia
"No significant reduction in the use and trafficking of illegal drugs was seen during the height of the campaign and it is arguable that drug use has significantly grown since, although it has been argued the campaign may have stopped a lot of people from considering taking drugs in the first place."
-Just Say No

I wouldn't ding you for this. :2razz: That was my point.

Comparing homosexulality and civil rights movement is an insult to the civil rights movement IMO. Logically one can conclude the main reason for the homosexual marriage being turned down in almost all states was because the voters disagreed with it. Other polls have indicated that the majority of the US believes it wrong. It would be disengenuous to think that someone has no issue with homosexuality would vote against gay marriage.

Here we disagree greatly. It is not an insult to the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. The voting data and the polls you provided certainly satisfy this condition.

Many people are protecting the "sanctity" of marriage in these ballots. "Having an issue" and voting that something is "wrong" are two seperate things. It would be disengenuous to think that those voters would all vote to outlaw homosexuality. Don't we make laws to outlaw things we think are wrong?

I have no issues with divorce. That is between a man and a woman.

Ok, so you aren't worried about the sanctity of marriage. Be honest, you don't like gay marriage because it's icky, huh? Don't marry a guy and you won't ever have to worry about it.

It is a scary thought. I do not know - do you?

What's so scary about it? I thought conservatives from Texas were tougher than that. I don't know the exact numbers but you might want to start building a bunker.:2razz:

Sad, but I grant you that it has become that. However, family should be the top of the list.

This I agree with you on.

Our government does it everyday. What appears to be moral is legal. Abortion was once illegal and immoral………the government stepped in and now it moral and legal. The same with slavery.

We have some freedoms...........BUT ............the government in many ways tells us what to do, how and when to do it.

Abortion is still immoral, it's just legal now. Slavery was always immoral. The government doesn't set my morals. In fact, laws have very little effect on people's morality. Morality is a social construct that changes with society's collective opinion.
