Reeder,
I think Bush is a lying dirtbag, but I still don’t see the debate. Would you like to point out which lies you are referring to so that I can support and or disagree with you?

Politics…unless it deteriorates to name calling…belongs in Great Debates.

So… what is the debate? Can you be more specific than, “politics”?

How did you reach this conclusion? An OP which amounts to a political poll belongs in IMHO. A political rant devoid of any discernable debate probably belongs in the Pit.
I am aware, of course, that a significant point in favor of your interpretation is found in the persistant failure of the mods to correct you by closing or moving your threads.
Still, I feel there’s enough merit on the other side of the point to continue arguing it. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

Umm, not to turn this ugly…(too late)…but why does compassion in his photosection mean photo ops with non-whites? Or am I just reading racist overtones where they don’t exist?

The racist overtones have actually been there for a while.

Hmmm, a campaign website for a President running for a second term…I’ve can’t imagine anyone concieving of such a thing.
Thanks to the OP for pointing out this incredible oddity.

No. _Debates_ belong in Great Debates. You might get that hint from the name of the forum. Simple statements and links to websites are not debates. Therefore, I’m closing this. If you actually had a debate in mind, feel free to open a new thread and make that clear to those of us who don’t read minds.
