4. Thank you Xultar. . .
. . .our victory over Bush in 2004 cannot be based on the need for the administration to fail. We should salute the US Military (they caught him, Bush did not) they did an excellent job.

11. The Author Was Making
Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 07:58 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
the point that if we greet the capture of Saddam as a bad thing we are painting ourselves in a bad light....

Makes sense to me....

36. Don't get me wrong
but I could care less what FR feels or thinks. Zip. Nada.

Big deal -- they caught Saddam.

Where's Osama?

Where's the WMD?

As one CSpan caller said, maybe they were looking for the WMD in Saddam's hair and mouth during that sham examination they keep airing.

Screw FR.

22. Like we haven't already given it to them already, plus if we get some crap
posts we know that they are freepers....

Ahhhhhh.....today would be the day for them to come here and act like assholes. If we are keeping things under control they should be easy to spot.

13. Let them watch!
All due respect, xultar, if we change our behavior because someone might be watching, we become untrue to ourselves, no?

19. You are missing the point, remember the post about troops being killed
and it was used to paint us and our candidates in a bad light. You want that type of behavior to colour the demcocratic candidates.
There are clearly times where we need to behave. There may not be many but this is one. Again, if you wanna post that catching Saddy is bad for the Democrats, post it elsewhere. That's all I'm saying. You don't want this to be used against us...I mean Dean.

23. I Was Ambivalent About The War....
The causus belli always escaped me....

That being said I'm glad we "won" and am glad Saddam was captured...

I don't want to be thrown in with the "Hate America" crowd because it's untrue and unproductive....

Bush is a lousey president and needs to be replaced but the republic was here some two hundred plus years before him and hopefully will be here a long time after him...

25. Did I say be GLAD??? You're worse than my grandma with the guilt
I'm just saying don't run around trying to say crap that can be used to damn the Demcoratic Party/liberals to hell. That's all
I didn't say to strip neekid and run through the streets with a sparkler sticking out of your ass.

30. I Thought I Agreed With You...
I'm glad we won.....

I'm glad Saddam was captured....

I'm glad the Lakers are having a good year....

I'm glad I live in the U.S.


But I'm not running around "nekkid" in the street over any of those developments or facts....

32. Have we won? We caught the bastard but the reason for going is still
a mystery. Where are the WMDs? That is what I wanna know.

Where are the WMDs.

18. I never have advocated self censorship
Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 08:08 AM by G_j
but I would advocate putting some thought into what we say. ...think sound-bite (or whatever you call lifting a phrase off a web forum)

20. People are watching us every day now.
Thanks to the VRWC. We really do need to promote the "Hawthorne Effect" as much as possible for our members...especially the flame warriors.

If I said that Zell Miller is a disgusting lunatic?

I'm hearing him on BBC, and he is.

Edited on Sun Dec-14-03 08:44 AM by G_j
thinking in terms of stating things in a way that are not as easily twisted to mean something else, like you just essentially did with the original post.
