this cartoon is so ridiculously inaccurate, i don't even want to start. :|

[ShotOver]

Yeah, 3 purple hearts, just means the idiot didnt know when a firefight was going on.
j/ks

But yeah, George W. Bush should win this election, and so should John Howard, or im going to be one pissed off little kid.

[Seoulstriker]

well, John Kerry actually will not release his military records. Especially the ones describing how Kerry received the purple hearts. According to his former COs, he received the Purple Hearts for things less than scratches. And he left Vietnam immediately after he received his last purple heart.

[ShotOver]

Yeah, a little bit fishy.

Well, the guy is a dork anyway, haha.

What, your the new Ducimus19?

haha, drop it mate, youll only get bombed by posts that make you look like an idiot, it's not worth it.

[Seoulstriker]

Well, ok, go vote for John Kerry. He welcomes your vote. Just vote for him! If you think John Kerry is much better, then vote for him! Give him your vote, he will enjoy it! All you need to do is vote for him and show him your support by voting for him. Voting for him is probably important for you, so i suggest you follow up by voting for him on national voting day. And make sure you vote for Kerry, don't be confused and vote for someone else. Vote for Kerry in the voting booth on voting day and show all of us who you voted for.

I know I'm voting for Bush.

I am going to do exactly that. And I will prove my vote. I'm wondering if you are going to do the same thing.

[Maine Finn]

bush needs your vote.

He better pay me for it. I don't endorse people for free. :D

[HELEX]

Well he has released his records.

From the most stupid conservative site....

Maine Finn said she didn't want to vote and they you pester her with "Bush needs your vote"

[HELEX]

Bush needs no votes, the machines will do that for you(again).... :lol:

[Seoulstriker]

she didn't vote before, I wouldn't think, and she's apathetic, but she really should be apathetic. ;)

[Maine Finn]

I'm only nineteen, so obviously I haven't "voted" before. All I can say is I didn't vote for our current Governor. Stupid bastard that he is. :|

You're referring to Bill Clinton I assume. If so, G.W. Bush has more than enough military service to qualify for Re-election.

Yeah, I'm sure a foreign punk like you is the most qualified person to voice an opinion about U.S. voting procedures. :fork:

of course we know how a democratic election should work ;)

trigger, bush did not serve in vietnam. and as you correctly point out neither did clinton, although this is totally irrelevant since clinton is not (and cannot) run for the presidency. accordingly, in keeping with the context of this thread and the subject in general, my post referred to bush's military record (or lack thereof, couldn't resist). some question kerry's purple hearts, yet they should keep in mind that their beloved "war president" managed to stay out of the conflict in vietnam, courtesy of family connections.

I know what you referred to, but it is rendered equally irrelevant due to the fact that our previous president not only didn't serve in Vietnam, he fled the country. Thus comparing Kerry's war record to Bush's is a non-sequitur. It just doesn't matter. You can't suddenly change the standards that you judge potential candidates by because one is Republican and the other is Democrat.

[Midtown]

VOTE NADER. Cuz bush and kerry both suck.

have i or anyone else changed the standards? one candidate served in vietnam, the other did not. some on this messageboard question whether or not one candidate merits his purple hearts, yet conveniently omit the fact that the other candidate was able to use family connections to avoid serving his country in vietnam. party affiliation in this case is or should be irrelevant.
clinton did not serve in the military. i have no problems with that, nor should anyone else. he has never claimed to be rambo. the current president brings up his military service to achieve political gains, but when questions are raised about the nature of his service all the barriers go up. bush's military service is nothing to write home about, and his administration should not distort the truth. in this instance i could care less that bush is a republican. i would be as critical of a democrat if similar shenanigans were to emerge.

[Haiw]

Vote Wouter Bos from the PvdA!

What?

And this thread that started so well. And Seuolstriker turned it in to pure **** and nonsence. :bash: Go chew on a shoe if your bored damnit! :fork:

Vote me! You know it makes sense, people.

It "started so well" with politically charged comics bashing our current President. Funny, I don't see you complaining when people oppose Kerry bashing. Bush bashing is okay, though, right? It's only wrong when it's the other side.

As for Bush "getting out of Vietnam due to family connections." Prove it, with something other than assumptions. He enlisted in the Air National Guard. It was not up to his family whether or not his unit got put into combat. Because his unit wasn't. So, unless you are trying to say that his family somehow persuaded the US military to keep an entire Air National Guard unit out of the war, then it is unfounded, baseless, partisan bashing.

Bush served his country in the military. He might have "just" been in an ANG unit, and he might have not been put into active combat, but you don't see him flaunting it around, do you? It's not like he's making himself out to be some war hero.

Kerry served in the military, and Bush served in the military. Military service is a moot point anyway, since that obviously does not determine who takes the Office. (see Clinton)

Enough with this partisanship and unfounded slander.

[American Patriot]

Boo, Kerry's a Yalie Skull and Bones fake liberal etc etc. All Dems vote for Nader. Kerry said he wouldn't want to raise your taxes high enough (can you believe this prick?)

Me, I"m voting for Bush because of Iraq. There's a war going on and a lot of Islamonazis need a good make-over until they sing kumbaya all day and roast marshmallows.

Ever heard of a magazine calle Comic Releaf? They had specialized on editorials. I actually subscribed to that. Why? Cause I find good editorials funny and entertaing. Whether it was making fun of Democrats or Repulicans or any thing going on in the world. If it is a funny one about Bush, it is funny. If it is funny one of Kerry. It still is funny.
By the way, thge first one of those two editorials was the funniest in my opinion. But you did maybe not see that cause you where blinded about the "Anti"-Bush one? Eh?

Listen, I enjoy editorial comics, too. I enjoy ones about Bush and Kerry both. My point was that you came down on Seoulstriker for pointing out the inaccuracies in one of comics originally posted. I don't see how it was necessary. I would have made wrote the same thing to you if you had come down on someone for pointing out inaccuracies in a comic about Kerry. There is a difference between humorous political comics and flat out lying.

Anyway, sorry for any offense, I did not intend it.

It was not the first posting that he did on that thread that made me react. He must of course have is opinion about Bush and Kerry for all what I care about. My reaction came after he started to run a Bush-campaign posting after posting. Reply after reply. If I did not know better it looked like a paid job to me. :D

[MEGR]

Why does this argument still exist. What does it matter to you non-Americans, because your vote doesn't count anyways.
