Firstly, your response 'members of the Republican party' was dumb, even if the thread was about that.


But it wasn't, in fact, about that. It was clearly about the up to 3 Supreme Court justices the next President gets to appoint.

Go look at my link.

It's independant.

You know that even the Democrats don't respect Micheal Moore right?

You can just look at what was false in the parts of the movie you felt presented the strongest case.

Actually, what we perceive as truth usually is just an opinion. Especially on political matters.

And? You still haven't explained to me why I am dumb. Your just trying to earn points with Asquitian. You poor, poor boy.

Because you said something incorrect (that the candadates are exactly the same) and even when I pointed out an obvious flaw in that view (3 appointments) you did not a) understand it was a flaw or b) even acknowledge what the remark was directed toward.

I highly doubt he is biased towards asians seeing as he was heavily involved in the anti-vietnam war protests, warning the public about free-fire zones where innocent people were being killed due to lack of permissable distinction between civilians and combatants

He supports massive protection for American manufacturing i.e. protection against cheap Chinese imports

I see. I wouldn't say that necessarily makes him biased against asians though. I mean if a really poor 'white country' was making the cheap imports, it might just as well be against them.

OK, lets look at all the Justices on the High Court.

Chief Justice Rehnquist: Appointed by President Nixon (Republican). He also worked as an Assisstant Attorney General in the Nixon years. He was nominated as Chief Justice Of the USA by Reagan (Republican).

Justice Stevens: Nominated by President Ford (Republican). He worked on many committees for the Attorney Generals office under the Republican presidency.

Justice O'Connor: Nominated by President Reagan (Republican). Served in the Arizona Senate as a REPUBLICAN.

Justice Scalia: What, yet another Republican appointment. Nominated by President Reagan (Republican). Worked in the Nixon administration in the General Counsel of the Office of Telecommunications Policy, and many more positions after that.

Justice Kennedy: Nominated by President Reagan (Republican). Was on the board of the Federal Judicial Center and many more Judicial committees during the Reagan years.

Justice Souter: Nominated by Peresident Bush (Republican). Served as Deputy Attorney General of the United States under the Ford Administration (Republican).

Justice Thomas: Nominated by President Bush (Republican). Also served on many committees for the Federal Government under the Bush years.

Justice Ginsburg: Nominated by President Clinton (Democrat). Served on committees during the Reagan (Republican), Bush (Republican) and Clinton (Democrat) Presidencies.

Justice Breyer: Nominated by Clinton (Democrat). Served on amy committees during the same presidencies as above. (I'm a bit rushed.)

Can you see all the familiarities? THEY HAVE ALL WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE REPUBLICANS, AND SOME EVEN SERVED AS REPUBLICANS. This means my statement wasn't wrong, and you are stupid.

since the us has emerged as a superpower they have used their own interests to fuck up other countries' problems with retarded intervention

i don't think the president being a republican or democrat will change a damn thing

agree with walrusbear above ^^^^

Australia and the UK are wading in deep s***, the US doesn't take the slightest notice of either, especially Australia, which pisses me off because it was their fault that Bush got elected, so Sept 11 happened, so American troops hauled ass over the world to Afghanistan and Iraq, so the Bali bombings happened, so everything that was bad since Bush's victory was because of them....pheewwww *wipes forehead*--that's my little rant

With regards to Bush versus Kerry, I go for Kerry but only because I don't want Bush to be re-elected. Kerry is just beating around the bush, he's not a strong leader, and personally I think that Al Gore should've been president---that's my political opinion for the century
