2 x 2 = ? Is it too complicated?

I don't like his faith based funding (my tax dollars going to fund religion makes me ill) and his over-eagerness to attack Iraq, but other than that he's kind of OK. At least he keeps in shape, unlike Al Gore (who unfortunately isn't running in '04; I swear if Joe Lieberman gets nominated for the Democratic party I'll have to vote for Ralph Nader or something)

To the first person:
Someone who died in the Pentagon attacks husband is going on a shitshuffling fest. Pretty much to answer questions like yours. I'd be curious to see what comes out of it. I agree with less-extreme versions of your opinions.
1) Bush is a war president. A war president makes war.
2) Bush wants oil & money.
3) The US gov't had plenty of prior warning about the attacks.
4) Bill Gates is an evil fuck.
5) Faith based funding is massive bullshit.

Chill! This is the lounge. I think we need a political discussion forum or something though. Either that, or you can mod the lounge to ax the posts you disagree with
Linux User & Flap:
I agree entirely
Bush & Gates:
We're coming!

But the money doesn't actually go to funding the religion. It *can* go to religious organizations for things like keeping the homeless fed, helping to get them off drugs, provide shelter, etc. So if you have something against helping the homeless then that is a different story.
As far as wanting to attack Iraq I don't know that is the case. Ensuring they don't have WMD is something that must be done, regardless who is in office. He just happens to be the one that is there now. I don't see any other way at this point of having those assurances as Saddam is not living up to all of the agreements that were made post Gulf War. I would rather go in and take him out than have any of the tons of unaccounted for Anthrax, VX, etc being unleashed on me.

I will not chill. All of the accusations are bull shit. Saddam needs to comply regardless of who is in office. We just happen to have someone in now with some balls and can make it happen. If people can't handle that, fuck 'em.
