<<<actually, I hadn't said a word one way or another regarding Bush's honesty.>>>
I believe you had, Michael. Here is what you said:
<<<If you're looking for the more honest personality out of the two. The race isn't even close in my eyes. From what I know of the two, George W wins hands down.>>>
On an adjacent subject, it appears to suit you to claim I am a conspiracy theorist. I see no conspiracy, and have offered no theories about one. I see a deal, one of which the detail is being kept secret, which is business as usual, in politics, a fact known by all but Neocon. What I have done is to list some of Pat Robertson's public statements to indicate why I think he is not only a charlatan, but vicious, bigoted, paranoid, and a danger to our democracy; and then go on to object to Bush's having refused to tell the voting public what transpired between him and Pat Robertson that resulted in Robertson's endorsement of him. It isn't a "conspiracy," it is merely a machiavellian deal-with-the-devil (an expression only; I don't believe in Satan) kept secret from the electorate because it would cost votes to openly reveal the quid pro quo (and anybody so clueless they think there wasn't one should get out more), brushing off concerned inquiries with the risible excuse Neocon proffered here with wide eyes.
I have never before been called a "conspiracy theorist." I have outlined no conspiracy here. I have merely objected to a deal-for-votes made behind closed doors and kept, er, "confidential," by your boy W with the man who has made the following statements, among many others:
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get
married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your
husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is
the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."
"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were
Satanists, many of them were homosexuals--the two things
seem to go together."
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the
Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this,
that and the other thing. Nonsense! I don't have to be nice to the
spirit of the Antichrist."
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is
about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages
women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice
witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians."
"NOW is saying that in order to be a woman, you've got to be a lesbian."
"We have enough votes to run this country...and
when the people say, 'We've had enough,' we're going to take
over!"
"The termites are in charge now, and
that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a
godly fumigation."
"How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers,
communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular
humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers,
revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on
top?"
"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the
Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it
anymore."
"I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your
children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up
like this when they were doing human sacrifice... [Your children]
are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't
even realize it."
"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor
should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
Oh, no wait! I made a mistake! That last one was said not by W's supporter Pat Robertson, but by his Dad, George Sr.
I am certainly forced to agree wholeheartedly with W about one thing, at least. He said, and I quote, "There is madmen in the world, and there are terror."
