Thats because you damn liberals just won't listen...
I have never yelled at anyone or called anyone stupid who presented a well thought out and enlightened opinion on politics, be it liberal or conservative.
Unfortunately I don't find "Bush is a Moron", "Blood for Oil", "Daddy's War", "Iraq=Vietnam", "Republicans = Evil Empire", etc. to be enlightened or well thought out in the least.
Here's a tip: If you want to make a sensible argument against Bush, don't bring up the war. You won't win because no matter why we went in to Iraq, we ended up ending the reign of a homicidal maniac and probably saved a million lives in the process. You want to get at Bush? Concentrate on his domestic policies, not his foreign ones.
Example: The Medicare Bill. Highly suspect to say the least. Its still better than nothing, but its far from perfect and throws a lot of power in the hands of pharmaceutical companies. Now Pharm companies have historically been the more benevolent of large corporations, but the potential for abuse still remains. Plus there's some environmental issues to look at also with his legislation. Add to that his record as a staunch Christian who tends to try and legislate morals ina secular society.
Now I don't think that all of these things are necessarily bad, but they are valid areas of contention. If you look into them, you could get some serious ammo for your arguments against Bush.
