I'd bet all my loot that this woman hates George Bush and thoinks he's the real tyrant, and will continue to think that about Bush even after she is released.
That's no bet at all. 90% of the world hates George Bush. That's like betting all your loot that she knows how to swim.
You have to give us odds.
If wishing to topple Iran's establishment is a crime, then count me guilty, too.
If the world hates Bush, that means he is doing something right. Because if the world loved him, that would mean his is bending over for them.
90% of the world loves Jimmy Carter. That should prove something.

That Carter is a fairly honorable person who tried to promote peace, while Bush is a venal disgrace who sold out even his own supporters?
That Jimmy Carter will be semi-remembered as a failed caretaker of no historic note, while the name "George W. Bush" will be synonymous with corrupt ineptitude for at least the rest of our lifetimes?

Come on, help me out here!
Don't forget about the economy!
Carter wore sweaters, too.
Haven't you gotten the GOP memo? Everything that might be wrong with the economy is all Bill Clinton's fault. Bush merely inherited his dot-com bubble, the same way you inherited your DNA from mom and dad.

The economy sucks huh? Maybe in Canada or Mexico, but certanly not here.
Saying the economy is shit doesn't make it so.
Wish it into the cornfield, Brian, baby! Wish it all into the cornfield! Only 20 months left to go! Ride it out! Why should you be forced to acknowledge being on the wrong side of history, or morality, or anything? Just 20 months! Can you make it? The cornfield says YES!
Saying the economy is shit doesn't make it so.
Why can't conservative bloggers ever express a thought without using profanity? Tsk! Tsk!
