Gato 0 #1 July 18, 2008 (URL deleted by Gato, so these fuckers won't get it all over the country for free. Sorry about that.) I did a search, and didn't find anyone talking about this. That anyone would use the image of that awful day for political purposes is appalling to me. I wonder if images of Pearl Harbor were ever used to influence a subsequent presidential election. I think it's a fucking lowlife move, and Republican Song should be a-fucking-shamed of themselves.T.I.N.S. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idrankwhat 0 #2 July 18, 2008 That's desperate and pathetic. I'm glad to know about it but now I fear that by reading the story that I've done nothing but help to make it "newsworthy". Those idiots will now get that billboard plastered across the country, basically for free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhys 0 #3 July 18, 2008 What a wanker, Looks like there will be a black man as the next president. Will make a nice change for the USA. The current govornment has tarnished the worlds opinion of the american people. Really it is only the greedy ass personal agenda of the pigheaded republican party that is currently in power that is the problem. Americans are generally very nice people. Just a shame these morons have been in power for so long.

Gato 0 #11 July 18, 2008 QuoteDemocrats are doing the same. Do you have a link to a similar billboard? You may have noticed in my OP that I referred to "Republican Song", not Republicans in general.

Those idiots will now get that billboard plastered across the country, basically for free. National attention to it may serve to help the Democrats, not hurt them. Turnout is always critical and these sort of stunts will piss off a lot of people. I'm less certain that the billboard gains votes for the GOP that it didn't already have. If the campaign turns into a referendum on Iraq, then expect to see more such ads. But given how unpopular Iraq is now with the voters, I'd be surprised if it goes that way. The GOP will be making offshore drilling their button issue to attack the Democrats, and hope to get as many ignorant votes as they can out of it.

JohnRich 4 #14 July 18, 2008 QuoteWeird considering 9/11 happened on a Republicans watch. He was brand spanking new in office. The genesis of 9/11 was created during the Clinton years, in which he did nothing about the first World Trade Center bombing, nothing about the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, etc. There hasn't been another terrorist attack in seven years since. Are you going to grant the Republicans credit for that? After all, if you think they were responsible for allowing 9/11 to occur, then you should also consider them responsible for the fact that no other attacks have occurred.

He had been in office for nearly a year, and warned repeatedly that it might happen. >The genesis of 9/11 was created during the Clinton years . . . Actually the genesis of Al Qaeda was during the Reagan years; he supplied Al Qaeda's parent organization with billions of dollars in weapons to kill innocent people. (And the Carter years as well, since support for the Mujahideen actually started there on a smaller scale.) >There hasn't been another terrorist attack in seven years since. The short (and selective) memory of Bush supporters absolutely amazes me. I guess that's a side effect of CDS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #23 July 19, 2008 I am still wondering if "none of the above" is a viable option for the USA. Without a doubt the Republicans under GWB have seriously messed up the last 8 years and while McCain does not appear to be remotely as stupid as GWB, he is pretty much Bush light. But on the other hand Obama lacks experience and there is no way in hell the USA can afford a fraction of all the goodies Obama is promising the masses. You know up here in Canuckistan we have a long history of our politicians promising us a socialist utopian society where everyone prances around in fields full of flowers and butterflies. But in reality all we have is high taxation, a failing healthcare system and instead of a field of flowers we have nothing more than a field full of weeds as our politicians do NOT do anything they promised the lemmings they would do. So Obama is just like our "nanny state" politicians. He is promising the people in America things he can not deliver on and the lemmings are buying into it. Oh and what ever happened to Obama's promise to renogiate NAFTA in America's favor. Turns out someone who knows more about NAFTA told him "hey dude are you stupid, do you want to cut off all that oil Canuckistan is feeding you all because you want to appeal to the unionized factory workers". Haha, the man clearly does not have the experience yet to have such an important job. Yes America this is a tough choice. You have a choice between Bush light and the socialist utopian world of your savior Obama. But the media is telling you to vote for Barrack because only he can deliver you fields full of flowers and butterflies for you to prounce around in. Is "none of the above" still available?
