I think both democrats and republicans need to tone it down big time. Both sides have people that are WAY too passionate. When bush was in office I always was seeing posters that said bush was a terrorist and impeach bush. All of this hate can build up inside people and lead them to do crazy things. On the other side Glen Beck is way over the top as well, I mean come on comparing our country to Nazi’s… It’s crazy all these stupid politicians need to calm down and not make it such a big deal.

Mr Mouse I was not arguing with that; ‘1776 Liberty Bell’ said that:
“We also have 3 Presidents assassinated they were all REPUBLICAN.”

I have to say though, I do agree with:
“Seems to me that in a society with guns so freely available this type of thing will just keep happening.”

Mr.Sensible – I mentioned Reagan who most definitely a republican:

News International in TOTAL control half the UK news media compared to the BBC:

You really don’t agree that this country was misled over the reasons for going to war in Iraq?

Go on then Mr.S, why aren’t you at the Chilcott enquiry then? Because I still haven’t seen missiles capable of hitting Cyprus in 45 minutes or WMD…

Mr Mouse, NI controls 40% of our newspaper market, and if that Sky deal goes through (made a bit more likely I’d say thanks to Mr Cable’s antics) their share of the media market could well end up being more than the BBC.

This is something that NI’s supporters need to account for.

And Mr Mouse you and I do not agree on that point about Iraq. I think we will have to agree to disagree there.

Was Kenedy a Republican? I thought he was a Democrat.

thomas – You say; “It’s standard policy for Republicans to incite violence”

Standard policy? Any evidence to back that remark up?

It is true that huge violence was dumped on Iraq, in collusion with the UK, where the government lied to the British people because of Labour’s blind bloodthirsty warmongering and love of George Bush.

But standard policy? Don’t think so…

That’s a bit rich, which political party has its supporter wanting an ex-PM dead?

Yeah?

I think one of the Aussie Herald bloggers had it right today.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
