I'm 27 years old, the only president I've really experienced is Bush
 The first presidential election I was able to vote in was stolen. Then we had 9/11. Then we went to war based on lies. Then we had a candidate with an impeccable war record, the result of which was the birth of the term "swift-boat". I'm looking forward to November, but if things don't go well I don't know what I'm going to do.

26. I was in the army when shrub took office
 Had to go to iraq, good thing though, I was just commo so I didn't have to fire my weapon and mostly what my job was, was making sure soldiers could phone home and use email.

29. I got out in the mid/late 90s
 Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 05:00 PM by Fabio
and was in 19th Group SF on 9/11 which led to six months in afghanistan in 2002. One of the best experiences of my life in many ways, worst in others.

14. You're way too young to be so cynical...
 Politics is full of disappointments. People older than you have been just as disappointed, but we know that being cynical is just wasted time. If you want hope, volunteer for a candidate who's more to your liking. You won't get everything you want out of one politician, though. Nothing is perfect.

After serving the nation in uniform twice and in war, quitting a lucrative job to join Kerry's campaign full time/ unpaid for 18 months and working on various issue specific policy initiatives and non-profits, I think I am DOING just fine. On the other hand, I am having a hard time deciding whether I want to have children and thinking their future through.


Ahhh.......computing now, but I'm not believeing this shit

 You've been through alot, but who hasn't? I have 55 years of stories like yours. You can't just refuse to live a full life because you've decided to be so cynical that you're afraid.

17. yeah I can read the writing on the wall
 and I can see history. I read books. I understand that every state eventually becomes a failed state through one means or another. Countries have their ups and downs but eventually they go down and stay down and then their is a new political rebirth and a new entity emerges. This may not be the end of america but bush is just the start of a very dark period in america. I am a citizen of a nation that has committed horrible atrocities, maybe not the most in scope or scale, but deffinatly it does not act like a civilized country should. I'm cynical? I think that if you don't see the danger and what subversive elements are at work beyond politics then you have your head in the sand.
 

Yeah.....and??

39. I understand where you're coming from 
 obviously there are a lot of negative trends that are going on. But I do think that things are swinging back in our favor. Watershed events like 9/11 that change the course of history don't happen every day. We're at the end of an era that has been the opposite of what we stand for but and it's not going to change overnight. The bonus is that GWB scorched the earth so to speak and so many people are seeing how bad it is that they are rejecting those philosophies now. We're not at the progressive utopia that you and I both want, but I'll take it one day at a time, one election at a time and one campaign at a time.

15. Election not stolen war record not impeachable
 Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 04:39 PM by Digital Press
The election was decided by the laws of the State of Florida which prevented it from being
"stolen". And if there was an impeachable offense impeachment proceedings would have already taken place. You can replace the term swift-boat with truth and you have the reason Kerry lost.


That was not.....I repeat not an earthquake, that was thousand of alert buttons being pushed at one time.

44. Is it safe to assume that you're impressed with the way the GOP runs the country?
 Haven't they proven to you how worthy they are? Don't you feel safer with them in power?

Are you better off now than in 2000?

Yep -- Digital Press tombstoned.

The one thing you CANNOT do at the DUmp is tell the truth.  Since liberalism is inherently dishonest, dishonesty is all they know.

The DUmbasses hoot about conservatives being afraid to debate them, then when one does show up, instead of using the intervening minutes before they're TS'd to actually challenge them, the best they can do is roll out the same old lame-ass "Enjoy your stay" line or some other inane remark. It goes to show how stupid and fearful of opposing views they actually are.

Which means you were between 16 and 20 during President Clintons second term which included Impeachment so care to explain what was diverting your attention.

Then typical of DUmmies it is all about their fragile existence,here we have the birth of a parasite on society rather than a contributor to it.

And since he has President Bush at the helm on 9/11, he doesn't have to bow to mecca 5 times a day as he would under any dimocratic president.

18-22 in during the reign of Carter's incompetance.  Anyone that lived then knows how bad a president he was.  Not being satisfied at being the worst 20th century president he then went on to be the worst ex-president in our long history.

You probably picked up on your parents' expressions and side conversations about The Evening News.  Gas lines, stagflation (double digit inflation PLUS double digit unemployment), Iran Hostage crisis -- carter's policies brought us the worst years since the Civil War.

The total idiocy and super-retard status of the DUmbasses is in full swing.  I get a hearty chuckle out of their proclamations they and their kind are going to "save our country" and "restore America".  Restore to what restore point?  Before socialism, which would be required to make such lofty claims coherent and legitimate?  Before Lincoln and his federalism?  Where, my DUmbass dreamers, do you think you should stop in your effort to "save America"?  

Would it not be more honest if the DUmbass came right out and said their intention is to stop those who really want to restore this nation?  Socialism is anti-American by all definitions.  The DUmmies promote and crave socialism.  The last thing they are trying to do is "restore America".  Why can't they admit it if their goals are so wonderful?  How can something be wonderful if it can't afford to be seen with the truth by its side?

Don't forget 23% mortgage rates and giving the Panama Canal to the chicoms.  The world loved jimma because he brought the USA down a peg or three.

Then the world hated the USA because Reagan brought us up a peg or six.....................................and stopped the USSR in their tracks.  Some of the left will never fogive that.

I've come to realize that having a better grasp on history now, but even then it seemed as though things were chaotic in the world outside of home.

You probably picked up on your parents' expressions and side conversations about The Evening News.  Gas lines, stagflation (double digit inflation PLUS double digit unemployment), Iran Hostage crisis -- carter's policies brought us the worst years since the Civil War.


Don't forget 23% mortgage rates and giving the Panama Canal to the chicoms.  The world loved jimma because he brought the USA down a peg or three.

Then the world hated the USA because Reagan brought us up a peg or six.....................................and stopped the USSR in their tracks.  Some of the left will never fogive that.
I think I knew the rates were high. My parents bought a place in 76 and then sold to move south in 82. They could not afford another mortgage until 88 and my dad did not make bad money. The rates were just outrageous and rent was more affordable. I think they ended up actually assuming a mortgage at that point too and the house needed some updating.
