Re: Out of Iraqi cities by June

Haven't you learned arguing politics on forums never goes anywhere? It's always a couple people trying to one-up each other every post. No one else reads it, and you never convince the other person.

Defending the surge?  Something that worked?  oooooh, my bad, I shouldnt support stuff that works

For what it's worth, and I'm not talking about the surge specifically (I don't really know much about it), but something working isn't equivalent to something being good/useful/worthwhile/just/etc.

This logic could be applied to every argument on these boards, but I don't think it's the case. If it really bothers you, then don't read it -- but don't come here to spew your elitist crap.

The difference with other topics is people are more willing to drop their point of view for another. Maybe it's because you and CrAz3D are generally the only two posting in the politics forum, and are definitely somewhere near the top of the most stubborn members of the clan. I'll admit though, I'm definitely somewhere up there with the most stubborn.

I don't believe that's correct, a persons political beliefs can change very quickly -- and it's been shown time and time again in our history.

So respond to some points made here, plug in your Candidate, or get out. You really will find nothing but a barrage of insults from myself. I don't know what type of additional insight you think you have by voting for a third party, but I don't buy it. So either get on topic fast, or get the hell out.

None. I just have my preferences.

Your posts paint a very different picture. Now get out.

Your own Presidential Candidate does not even agreed with that! In fact, he bashed Obama on this the other day.

Cause Craz3d can't have a mind of his own. He has to follow his presidential candidate to the letter.

No one else reads it, and you never convince the other person.

I haven't formed my opinion on who's getting my vote yet, so to be honest, whoever can one-up the other person here gets closer to me voting for their candidate. The manner in which they do it is just sort of lame.

EDIT -
My view on pulling troops out of there is that, considering we destroyed Iraq, it's our responsibility to help them build their towns back up to a point where government can function. After that, get their government in control of it with two months or so of occupation to make sure they've got it under control (occupation with less troops, maybe 10% of what we have over there?), and then come home.

Basing your vote off of CrAz3D and Warrior's arguments seems silly to me.

Is Joe even 18 yet?

Less silly than the media, and if they can give worthwhile citations, I say go for it.

I will be next month.
