The reason you and I argue is that I don't see Bush as the source of all woe and an evil mastermind with an evil plot for world domination. I just see a President who won't go down as great, but won't be the worst either. This disrespects your Bush-is-evil belief system, so like a good jihadist you spread your hatred of Bush to include me.

I was going to end this post with a retorical "And why do you support...?" but then I realized I don't know of any individual that you do support.

So, is there anyone in the political arena that you consider worthy of your support, or is it all just hate?

He lies to you. He steals from you. He cheats on you. And yet, you can't break away. You know you should give him up. You know others don't understand, don't approve. So you lie, and sneak. It's not the 'liberals' who are making you chose him. It's you - your own deepest feelings. It's time to throw away your shame and come out of the closet.

you know that Bushs' administration has authorized, without congressional oversight, the construction of a NAFTA SUPER CORRIDOR that will stretch right through the heart of America?

think about this..we havent even secured the borders we have... so theyre building a NAFTA network of passages to allow free flowing travel acrossed the Americas?? explain this to me

explain how that keeps these "evil terrorists" out? the government tells us we need the Patriot act, the new detainment bill.. homeland security, and increased Federal authority..so they can track our phone calls and monitor our movements; only they want a wide open border?

i really want an answer for this.. that doesnt support your isolationist desires does it? actually, it supports the premise of me and many others around here that BUSH is a front man, just like "slick willy" was.. to create a global government, ie the NWO

Even if you disagree with my list, Bush isn't perfect. So, what do you like about Bush that makes everything bad that he does worth your support?

The Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage exhibits loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. Stockholm syndrome is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered person syndrome, child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.

Munchausen Syndrome is a form of psychological disorder, named after the fictional representation of the German baron, Karl von Münchhausen, and his affinity for telling tall tales. It is described as a factitious disorder in which sufferers feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma despite varying degrees of personal risk, in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves. The term has also been used to refer to medical professionals who purposely cause inflicted injury or discomfort to a patient so they are able to later treat or heal the patient and receive attention or compliments from co-workers; commonly referred to in modern parlance as "playing god". The current DSM (DSM-IV-TR: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - 4th edition - Text Revision) calls this disorder "Factitious Disorder by Proxy".

This is a safe environment, remember. No one knows who are are. You CAN tell the truth. Your response is no different from "the liberals made me do it." Which is a lame kind of excuse.

What are BUSH'S qualities that you agree with?

Support on some issues does not mean unconditional support. Nor does general policy agreement equal 100% agreement with everything the Bush Administration does. Why can't you understand this?

What I want to know is WHY."

And as a follow on, strictly out of sheer nosiness, I'm curious how many times in your life have you voted for someone who was NOT a white male republican, if ever.
