Default Any Bush supporters out there?

I am a republican and a Bush supporter. I am also a huge Beasties fan and have been sence LTI. I respect the Beasties, and thier fans, opinions on issues in the world today. I have read a lot of posts on the B-boys message board and almost all political posts are anti-Bush. Just want to know if there are any Beastie Boy fans that support Bush?

Because I believe that Bush is doing the right things for America. The Dems are doing everything in thier power to berate the Bush admin. for thier political gain.

Why do we have to fight. Because we different views? No, it's because you feel it's the way to get your point across and that is what the Kerry team is doing as well. Peace.

I support Bush and you'll soon learn my friend that it isn't widely accepted on the board.

It's not a matter if it's widely accepted on this board. It's a matter of hearing the other side of Beastie Boy fans.

Dude, it's a matter that if you say anything remotely resembling Bush supporting, you'll get your ass handed to you with a verbal fireball.

Most just dismiss it as pure shit and the others just don't want to hear it.

I think you'll find bush support isn't widely accepted by most people who own a computer and know how to use it because they get a much broader view of world events than someone sitting in front of the tube.

Wow, you have a real "broad view." Doesn't matter if you get you news of world events on the internet or T.V. It's still an opinionated point of view.

Spock would agree wouldn't agree with Bush. Logic dictates. And as for supporting one canidate or the other, all I ask for is facts. Not just someones bullshit opinion. Because if I wanted opinions, I would kill myself like some sort of samurai.

Oh, right, and Bush didn't try to degrade Kerry's war hero status with those ugly commercials? And the reason Kerry is doing well, my dear, is due to the fact that he's a distinquished, intelligent, humane person running against a pugnacious power-hungry overgrown frat boy.

And that's your opinion. But how you portray Kerry against Bush is not very realistic.

Now now children. Lets not turn him off completly, like Adam F. He might still see the error in his ways, (assuming there is one). If you guys take it easy. Let him support his claim, and so shall you. Truth will prevail.

Come on people! Who really cares if someone is a democrat or republican these days. In order to even get elected as president you have to be right in the middle of the road anyway. The lines between democrat and republican have blurred so much is it really even correct to call anything bi-partisan anymore? 3rd party presidential candidates don't get much media coverage so what does the average joe have to choose from these days?

And why wasn't Ralph Nader invited to the Presidential debates, anyway?

Firstly, opinionated doesn't mean "full of opinions" or "based on opinion" it is a synonym for "arrogant" - that aside, news should NEVER be prejudiced, partisan, misleading, etc. Its only agenda should be to convey the facts as clearly as possible. At most it should sum up one view of thought on the matter, preferably more, STATING CLEARLY THIS IS ONLY ONE INTERPRETATION.

Fortunately, a lot of news organs manage to do this quite competently.

Unfortunately, none of them are in America. The only Americans I know and talk to that are not totally convinced of the gross misconduct of US news sources are ones that don't have access to any other nation's media. Try reading the BBC news website, for example.

To be fair I don't think Bush made those commercials and I think he played a key part in getting them of the air. Blaming him for those commercials is like blaming Kerry for F/911.

And you base this on what?

Edumacation time!

Kerry spent 4 months in Nam. While many other soldiers and officers were turning down Purple Hearts to stay with their men Kerry left. I don't question the legitimacy of his medals just his actions.

Kerry was a cold warrior for the Soviets. He went to France and met with the NVN reps and came back and spouted the exact same retoric that the KGB created and supported "Peace" organizations were saying since 1965. The World Peace Organization was a KGB created and funded organization among many others and were spreading these lies about Am. forces since 1965. Who did he get his marching orders from? The NVN or the KGB? I wish he'd answer that question. Don't believe me? go to http://www.wintersoldier.com. Not good enough? go to the NSA's site http://www.nsa.gov/venona. You can find out first hand what the KGB was up to in America and why you all think the way you do.

Humane? Tell that to the 1000's killed after the US left VietNam, Tell it to the people in the re-education camps, tell it to the boat people, tell it to the 2 million plus in Cambodia, tell it to the vet he slandered, tell it to the POW's.


It sickens me that this traitor may just become president. He is a socialist appeaser. Worse he is no different that the Social Democrates that ran Germany in the 20's. They sold thier countries soul for peace and ran the country into the ground and look what that got them in the long run.

In the words of the great FZ: "It can't happen heeeeeere!" Guess again sister.

You should be on comedy central. I work for a British company (in the US) my boss in British and I've met quite a few Brit's while at this company. They even think that the BBC is blatently biased. The BBC is one of the most leftwing biased new orgs in the world. Only a leftist lacky wouldn't see this.

No-one seriously could believe the BBC is a left-wing biased organisation, which can only mean one of two or three things:

1. You are a lying asshole

2. They are lying to you to make you feel better, or are talking about a different news service.

3. They are derranged BNPesque fools who believe the BBC is an Islamophile propoganda tool of the government.

Either way, it illustrates you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Well... How about the 145 BILLION in tax cuts he just signed for rich corporations and rich farmers in SWING states? This is considerably worse than any ad. And it is politically motivated and underhanded. Who pays for these tax cuts? Can anyone of you Bush supporters answer that? Oh wait it's not your concern right? Let your grandchildren worry about it right? You are such a shining example of metaphorical rats following the piper to financial doom.
I don't want to go on a rant but, I will ask again for the board. (It's like the debates, you ask one question and spend 90 seconds hearing an answer to a different question) WHY would you support this president? Because he ISN'T Kerry? Can't use that one we already have it. You crave a free Iraq? That is downright laughable, as if any American, especially a republican one, gives a shit about an Arab nation. You really think Bush is a macho guy and you buy all that flight suit and posing stuff? Just what has he done for America? Are we safer? Hardly. Are there are, in fact, now more terrorists gunning for us now that we invaded a sovereign nation? Most definitely. Were we lied to about the reasons for that very invasion? Yes.
So what is it? What are your reasons for voting for Bush? And before you start formulating an anti-Kerry message, remember I didn't ASK why you don't like Kerry I asked why in the world would you support this president.
