What a jerk...

During "town hall" meetings in Baldwin County last week, U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Mobile, most likely expected tough questions about President Bush's Social Security proposal.

But the congressman probably did not anticipate that several constituents at his stop in Gulf Shores would spend much of the hour-long meeting criticizing his support of the Iraq war.

To make his case, Bonner recounted his experience traveling to Iraq and hearing horror stories about Saddam Hussein. The congressman also visited the dictator's torture chambers. He said that although some of the reasons for invading Iraq may have turned out to be off-base, the end result -- Iraq's first free elections -- made the endeavor worthwhile.

None of this satisfied the critics, who said the war was a waste of lives and money. Bonner then said: "The great thing about this country is if you don't like it, you can leave."

So if you don't like the thought of your tax dollars being used to maim and murder innocent Iraqi babies and American soldiers, you should just LEAVE? Is that what the Constitution says?


Is this an Alabaman? Oh, yeah. If so, I've heard that "Yankee go home" shit enough. Too sad he's transfered the sentiment to anyone who disagrees with Bush's policies.

By the way, I've also heard the phrase yelled out by protesters in Amsterdam. "Yankee Go Home."

It's something a schoolkid would be expected to say, not any sort of leader.

Which was soon countered with the slogan, "America ... change it or lose it."

If a politician's only answer is, "you can leave," my response is, "Tell me why you think it's worth staying. And none of this Proud To Be An American because this is the greatest country on earth bullsh*t."

Respect the Constitution & our RESPONSIBILITY to oppose policies & behavior that is WRONG, or leave it!!!! Did anyone ask if he is just a complete moron, or if he opposes our system of government?:freak:


What an ass

of this "the end justified the means" outlook Bush's sheeple have towards the war in Iraq. It's an ILLEGAL WAR!! No matter what little bit of good came out of it, it's still illegal. I could go out tomorrow and kill a child molestor, and the world would be a better place, but it would still be illegal, and I would still go to jail.

YOU GET OUT.
