6. Which of his policies did you like best?

:shrug:

[LoZoccolo]

16. It wasn't really about that.

[sufrommich]

15. Really? For how long? Because as soon as he started

barking about Iraq I knew he had no intention of really going after Bin Laden.I'm assuming you mean the 90% approval rate after 9/11?

130. No shit, it is kinda scary that so many people bought into such

weak bullshit and obvious lies to anyone that was paying attention. Guess some just wanted to fit in no matter what.

9. I got a taste of Bush I. I knew Bush jr wouldn't be any better. I didn't think it would be worse.

50. I was wondering how Bush managed to fuck up so bad, one building is one thing 2 is another.

By about the second day, I was having doubts about the whole scenario.

I have been deeply skeptical of any war talk ever since Vietnam.

[GoCubsGo]

73. So was I.

When they showed photos of the hijackers a day after the event, I smelled a rat. And, they knew at that point that there were supposed to be 20 of them, instead of 19. WTF? They knew all that within a day of an allegedly "surprise" attack? Really? And, I was supposed to support this ratbastard? Nope. No way. No how.

172. And that %&*$# mushroom cloud that was going to hit us in 45 minutes, according to Kindasleazy.

If the 90% is that %&*&$# gullible, perhaps they shouldn't be voting. They were wrong THEN, and they're wrong NOW.

[truedelphi]

174. We of the Ultimate Faith of the True Believer will believe anything!

Several tenets we always cling to:

1) Major difference in the two parties (Even though namby pamby idiots try to point out that under both parties, jobs are outsourced, endless unwinnable wars are extended, repressive tax policies, bank give aways that amount to tens of trillions of dollars, et al.)

2) Democracy is alive and well - at least for the upper 1.5% !!

[QC]

76. Moi aussi. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

89. I told several people on 9/11/2001 that I suspected Bush & Co were involved

in some way - either as LIHOP or MIHOP.

I've never trusted him. Octafish and some of the others had already posted too much information about BCCI, BFEE, the Carlyle group, the JFK assassination and GHW Bush's CIA links and thus I was deeply, deeply mistrustful as soon as the second tower came down and no planes had been scrambled.

[stuntcat]

109. either way, no one in the world benefited as much from that day

that's the truest fact of all, and very clear too, exactly who gained the most from what happened.

[stuntcat]

108. yah

I've felt the sickest Shame in my country since the day he was elected.. I just couldn't believe it happened. But then it happened again.

This is no melodrama, it's 100% true, I have lost my faith in humanity forever. Yes, there are some great people, but the majority are monstrous and that violent majority will win, will beat the Earth into an unrecognizable rock. George Bush's election is a part of the disaster, he's just a clear sign of the nature of our species.
I'm sooo glad every day to be a day older. Soon I'll be 41, thank goodness. Well there is very little Goodness to thank..

[progressoid]

113. Me too.

[Rex]

152. Never believed a word, not from him or his lying agents.

Then again, I never got over 2000 so was watching and waiting for their next criminal act. Most people, it seems were just wanting to get back to work and try to forget the stolen election.

I would think that such a profound misjudgment would bring a change of tone, if not sentiment.

[Electric Monk]

32. This is where people usually start posting recipes

I once got a great Black Bean Soup recipe from a LoZoc thread

:-)

[Shandris]

173. Morning rice!

Rice (the '2 serving' entry is good for me, but I only eat once to occasionally twice/day)
Butter (sparingly, low fat)
Vanilla Flavoring (I confess, I use over 2 ounces!)
Sugar (or equivalent, I prefer SitR)
Pumpkin Pie Spices (more than a dash, less than a half teaspoon)
Milk (to cool the whole thing off and spread the yummy goodness to the far reaches of the bowl!)


Mix in various amounts until ever-so-slightly-soupy, stir, and enjoy! :) My perennial favorite. I love ANYTHING I can put vanilla flavoring in. For added fun, substitute rice with oatmeal and/or CoCoWheats or Cream of Wheat!

Okay, so I'm not spectacular with recipes...but seriously, this is yummy.

[ret5hd]

28. please, keep exposing youself. the view, tho disgusting, is certainly entertaining.

[LoZoccolo]

64. It wouldn't be entertaining if you knew this was Tombstone Bait...for honest 5%ers...

who are very angry that there just might have been a "suspect" in the midst. But, hey...As long as you claim to be a Democrat...but you supported Bush 90%...I guess you are cool here... WHOA...What did I just say???

[tkmorris]

60. That is an astounding thing to assert

What other rights do you think people shouldn't have?

Small d, posts I have ever seen in my life. And that includes the infamous aol boards.

That.s something

Obligatory recipe, peach pie


Ingredients

10 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
Directions

Mix flour, sugar and butter into crumb stage.
Place one crust in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate. Line the shell with some sliced peaches. Sprinkle some of the butter mixture on top of the peaches, then put more peaches on top of the the crumb mixture. Continue layering until both the peaches and crumbs are gone.
Top with lattice strips of pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until crust is golden. Allow pie to cool before slicing. Best when eaten fresh.

Your views seem to be the same as they were, you dislike all Democrats except ostensibly Obama, and often post in opposition to their election.

43. Which other Democrats do I oppose being elected?

[Lucian]

44. I was one of the 10%.

Your part of the 90% explains a lot.

[Divine Discontent]

69. I am still one of the original 10%ers, too. I saw through that ignorant silver spoon tyrant from

the day I first saw him picking his damn nose at the stadium in Texas! And, may it be a lesson for those that were 90%ers to not be part of any crowd that supports warfare today just because we're told this or that by the powers that be...

[pipi_k]

104. My loathing for him was born of two incidents...

One, the "interview" he had with an anchor-guy on a Boston TV station where the anchor asked him some questions about world events, etc., and W came back at him with defensive sarcasm accompanied by a nasty sneer.

Two, the smirky mocking of Karla Faye Tucker just before her execution.


His mannerisms and attitude embodied those of just about every drunk I ever knew. I loathed him from those days on. And I was right. He turned out to be as bad as I figured he would be.

[Divine Discontent]

170. yes, W's gonna be a bitter old bastard for even his wife to be around as he ages, you can just tell

from the way he's been so condescending over the years with so many people. I won't forget how he has treated people, and even though time makes people forget, as the news people have been saying (in reference to the cheering for him), I won't forget - he's an idiot! President Obama is light years ahead of him in class! I only wish we could have had President Gore from 2001-2009...

[backscatter712]

63. No. Our job is to reach out and persuade those who are persuadable, including the OP.

We're not going to win elections if we demand ultra-purity, and can't win people over.

It doesn't pass itself, y'know.

[Rex]

127. Actually.

I have no idea what the OP really thinks.

[yardwork]

182. I, on the other hand, feel that I have a pretty good idea of what the OP thinks.

His posting history is very clear.

[tammywammy]

68. Why would that require banning?

He even says by March 2003 he was part of the 25% disapproval.

Regardless of this particular OP, do you not think someone that once supported a republican could change? Aren't we the party of accepting people, and educating them away from republican policies?

[NutmegYankee]

74. Why? It's history.

Right after the attacks 80% of Democrats rallied behind the leader of the US, but it was short lived. That doesn't violate any DU rules.

you're not gonna win many elections.

The key is to convince people and bring enough to our side that we get above the magic 50% and start winning.

I'll admit it. For a time, I was among the 90%, then people talked sense into me.

[readmoreoften]

171. The 10% aren't the "good guys". Maybe just the "smart people"

that the centrists who supported Bush should start listening too. We talk a little sense into you and then you think you run the place.

75. And the entire 10% post on DU.

:rofl:

[joshcryer]

78. haha, nice

[yardwork]

181. U.S. population in 2000 was 281,421,906. Ten percent is 28 million.

28 million people disagreed with Bush on 9/11 and the days afterward. DU has far fewer than 28 million posters so yes, it is conceivable that the vast majority of DUers were among the 10%.

[hulka38]

70. Posting to urge people to not waste precious time

reading more of LZs posts.

[pipi_k]

106. I like his posts...

he amuses me.

I really wish I could be as cool in the face of unprovoked bashing, slams, and insults as he is.

As many times as people trash him, he never comes back with rudeness of his own. I think we could all learn something from that.

What else amuses me...people who claim that his posts are a waste of time, but apparently won't take the two seconds required to put him on ignore so they never have to deal with him again.

Really...why don't you just put him on ignore?

Just like Snowdrift Snookie.

[Fumesucker]

111. Let's see... You admit that your support for a politician ten years ago was a mistake..

And then you turn around and berate other people for insufficient enthusiasm in supporting another politician.

(I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here that your one-liner OP is actually an admission of error, as usual you provide no context to your title thus encouraging misunderstanding)

[progressoid]

114. ...

[LoZoccolo]

115. One of the catalysts for my change of mind was a session of berating.

[Fumesucker]

124. Yah, but the other people were talking you out of blind support..

You are trying to instill blind support in others, that's a kettle of fish of a different color.

The thought should have occurred to you at some point that, like the POV character in Margaritaville, it might be you are just really bad at it.

[LoZoccolo]

129. I have reasons that people should support Obama.

[Rex]

133. And you had no reasons to support GWB, just went with the crowd?

Saw what other people were doing and just went along?

[LoZoccolo]

134. That wasn't it.

[Rex]

136. Nevermind, I see you don't want to say why.

Just keep with the weak oneliners and don't tell people why. You'll get more posts that way.

[LoZoccolo]

138. You didn't ask me why.

[Rex]

141. So did you believe in Perry Democrats back in the day too?

Wonder why you coin such divisive terms, tsk tsk. Answer that.

...

[loyalsister]

166. I was pretty irreverent

I hated anything and everything Bush. I believed that even when he said something I agreed with, what I perceived as insincerity negated the value of any positive thing he did.
A look back tells me that many people supported the presidency without endorsing all of Bush's policies.
Seeing the kind of disrespect that congress and the public have shown Obama leads me to believe that at least some of those 90% had it right. Many people appreciated the position he was in, without believing everything domestic and every foreign policy move afterwards were good ideas.
I would have written them off as naive idiots at that time, but now I think that my blind hate may blocked critical thinking as much as unconditional hero worship would.

It's not fair or reasonable to hold it against you or anyone else.

[Doctor_J]

167. Ouch. Big of you to admit.

At first glance, Bush being a flaming coward and sitting there while the country was attacked, then running across the country, is bad enough. But then when you reflect for awhile and think about the fact that there were only two people in the world who benefited from 9/11 - Bush and Osama bin laden - how can you still favor the idiot?
