Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years

"Have there been any radical Muslim bombings in our country during his Presidency? "

Ummm, heard of that 9-11 thing.....

Hey Andrew where have you been? Col's been carrying the liberal standard mostly by himself. Pontooner made a worthwhile opponent, but bowed out after only a week of beatdowns.

You sound like a lawyer objecting to a minor point on the 9/11 thing. Okay I'll rephrase the question. Have there been any radical Muslim bombings in our country since 9/11 during the last 7+ years of his presidency?

Beatdowns is a interesting choice of words you used, sounds almost as if you think you or your side won or something. I just got tired of the round and round, rehashing stuff..... and just let it all go.

You pubs certainly have a gang like mentalaity on this board whith all the pats on the backs and praises you throw at each other with any post that you remotely agree with but you know what they say: Birds of a feather flock together.

I've been tempted to post a few times but have fought hard not to relapse.

Liked I posted before, I read these boards everyday to keep up wih the going ons.

Fight on Col Forbin!!!!!!!!!

I knew you'd bite, just had to use the right bait. Admit it, you love this stuff. This is a great place to vent frustrations and do a little jousting.

Birds of a feather in our case is the common interest of fishing. There's probably not a person on this board I wouldn't go fishing with and get along with just fine. (Well, maybe I wouldn't turn my back on Col, he'd push me over the side and claim he wanted me to embrace the fishes' culture.)

Anyway, you've got some support against the ganglike mentality. Andrew's back, Jbryant's making kool aid by the 55 gallon drum, and Col of course kicks in when he's not brainwashing hapless kids. Now stop making excuses, and make some contributions.

After all, your 2nd amendment rights are small price to pay to get a socialist president into office. Right?

[JBryant]

Since when is posting links and copy/pastes of journalism by independent sources kool aid? The stuff I posted isn't really for or against Obama, it backs up some points that the Republicans have made and dismisses other claims that they have made. I don't think either candidate is great, I just hate to see misinformation spread.

I don't see either one of us changing the other's mind, though. I have done my research, I have not just taken in what Obama's campaign has said. I would hope that you've done yours and not just taken the Republican party's word for it. We have just taken our research and drawn different conclusions. I'm probably done posting here on the off topic board though, I post links with generally useful unbiased information and I'm apparently making kool aid, and not the flavor that you all seem to like.

[Devils Horse]

Sure have thin skin JBryant, no need to take your bat and go home, it's okay to be dead wrong every now and then.

Research can be slanted any way one wants. Myself, I'm not guilty of much research, just dish out my uninformed and 'bout half ignorant opinions, and take my lumps. I call attempting to slant Obama's views on gun control as positive based on his public statements as serving kool aid. The man is anti-gun, his actions as pointed out by another poster proves it.

[JBryant]

I got sucked in again..dangit DH.

It's not that I'm thin skinned, but arguing over the internet just isn't going to accomplish anything. You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change your mind. I'd much rather be reading about fishing than trying to convince you your wrong and having you try to convince me I'm wrong, hehe. And I agree, research can be slanted any way you want it. I do my research through all different sources though, including Fox News and whatever else I find, either for or against my personal opinion. I may still be biased, but I do try to read and analyze views other than my own and change my beliefs when needed.

As for his actions, I don't think they're being characterized correctly. He never voted to ban the sale of ammunition used in hunting. He voted to ban the sale of ammunition specifically marketed by ammo companies to be armor piercing. There are also a few other portions of his policies that are being misrepresented, as I'm sure there are some of McCain's policies being misrepresented by Democrats. There are some parts of his policy I agree with and some I don't. It's perfectly fine with me if others disagree with all of his policy, as long as they know what his policy actually is, instead of just reading "he tried to ban ammo used for hunting!"

"He never voted to ban the sale of ammunition used in hunting. He voted to ban the sale of ammunition specifically marketed by ammo companies to be armor piercing."

Give me his definition of armor piercing ammo and does it differ from the definition of Handgun Control or the Brady folks? Better do more research, or at least learn the history of firearms and ammo. Many of the SO-CALLED COP KILLER ROUNDS have been around since the 70's...you either don't hunt, don't own a firearm or don't believe anything you can't find on a political web site!

No. Were they a common occurance before Bush?

Been working too much lately, not much time to post.
