That was the first one, do keep up 
You lot* actually voted him in the 2nd time :smack:
- As a whole that is, I’m not saying you actually voted for him.
Christ. I’ve read less than a dozen threads today. And this is the second one I’ve seen you link that book. Nice to know you’ve finally finished one, though.
Not the last, I assure you.
Maybe then, instead of just linking the damn, you could tell us just what makes the arguments in that particular book so compelling.
Please be patient. I’m waiting for another book on the same topic I’ve ordered from the library. When I’ve read it, I will post a GD thread summarizing the findings and arguments of both, as well as those of Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast (of whom many Brits will have heard – he’s an American expat now working for the BBC). In the meantime, I just don’t want our British cousins to get the impression we’re all quite as stupid/ignorant/evil as the 2004 election seemed to demonstrate.
Tony Blair is irrelevant? Is Lassie irrelevant? Benji? Rin Tin Tin?
A loyal dog is always relevant.
I’m pretty sure Tony has found several children who stumbled into wells.
And pissed on their heads.
Yes, but only so they could be found and dug out kater more easily later by Timmy Bush – with bunker busters.
Well, then. I, for one, shall be waiting with bated breath - on the very edge of my seat - quivering with anticipation, as it were. Because it’s not like we haven’t already discussed the 2004 federal election interminably.
Actually, despite your apparent belief that this is an either/or situation, there is nothing inconsistent in believing (a) that Bush got more votes than Kerry in 2004, and (b) that there were enough irregularities and unexplained problems in Ohio to raise serious doubts about the health of the electoral process.
We ain’t going thru the Ohio thing again, are we? In the course of the most recent thread about that, it was never conclusively shown that any irregularities actually occured. Merely that the chance of such was possible. Re-read the fucking thread(s) if you need a refresher.
Fuck off moron. Do some reading yourself, you pea-brained ninny.
I was merely pointed pointing out that your ignorant comment, as usual, did not reflect the complexity of possible circumstances.
But then, expecting complexity from someone whose head is so permanently and solidly wedged up his ass is, i suppose, a foolish dream.
Well then. You’re just plain wrong. It is an either/or situation. Either the Bush machine engaged in vote fraud, or it did not.
Let me explain this slowly so a dribbling buffoon like you will understand.
First, jjimm expressed an opinion about the people who “put Bush back in.” He was talking here, quite clearly, about what he saw as the reasons for the considerable amount of support for Bush in 2004, and the reasons for Bush’s victory.
You then made a rather typically assheaded drive-by saying “Wait a minnit. I thought Dubya stole the election,” implying that any belief in election fraud automatically excludes one from having an opinion about other factors contributing to Bush’s 2004 victory.
I merely pointed out that such an either/or situation is not reflective of reality. Hell, i didn’t even weigh in on whether i thought the allegations of irregularities in Ohio were accurate. I simply said that a belief in Ohio irregularities was not inconsistent with jjimm’s opinion about broader reasons for Bush’s success.
You then, of course, perhaps realizing your dimwittery, tried to pretend that the “either/or situation” actually refers to the issue of fraud itself.
You are factually incorrect, but i don’t expect you to have either the intelligence or the integrity to admit it. So i’ll merely ask you to go fuck yourself.
Oh, no. It goes way beyond Ohio and involved a lot of shenanigans unrelated to voting machines.
Blair, in an act of gross treason, sold out the British judicial system to the Americans. There was no case to answer for (or so the FSA says), yet three British men were deported on Fraud charges to the United States under anti-terrorism legislation.
First, I’m glad you recognize that my comment wasn’t meant to be anything more than an off-hand quip. (Although I’d argue that it is correctly classified as a drive-by. I did, after all, return to the thread and make a couple additional posts.) Second, this forum is chock full of such off-hand quips; my post, while not archetypal for the Pit, is hardly atypical, so I don’t quite understand your vigorous response to it. Third, I don’t see how that post of mine implies that I believe it’s an either/or situation. Since you have correctly identified it for what it was, it seems rather silly of you to postulate there’s some rigorous chain of logic behind it. Fourth and finally, before you made your initial post in this thread, there was another confirming that many from the more idiotic conspiracy-mongering left do indeed believe the Bush machine stole the election - and that whatever shenanigans they believe happened, happened in large part in the state of Ohio. So again, your reaction to a mere quip seems - shall we say, over-enthusiastic.
So then, Blair? What a disappointing cunt he turned out to be.
I can just see all the Londoners out on the street when he eventually resigns.
Singing
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me
I may sound Double-Dutch
But my delight is such
I feel as if a losing war’s been won for me
And if I had a flag I’d hang my flag out
To add a sort of final victory touch
But since I left my flag at home
I’ll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much!
