Before you go and call it liberal bashing, read the whole article.[/quote]
So your getting on Bush for not knowing the difference between Sweeden and Switzerland, but yet YOU don't even know the difference between liberal's and conservatives.? :lol:
I think you meant to say "Before you go and call it conservative bashing" since thats what Bush is. A Republican = conservative.
But then again, maybe you just made a mistake and had a brain fart right?? Just like Bush did when mistaking Sweeden for Switzerland.
But I'm not even going to defend Bush on that front, because he is an idiot. All the coke he did in college I guess. But Kerry has a whole other slew of problems too. Amazing how synical everyone's viewpoint is. "Anyone but Bush." And yet, Kerry is just as bad and even worse on some fronts.[/quote]
No, actually you just misinterpreted the sentence. I wasn't saying "bashing liberals". I was saying liberals bashing (as in liberals bashing conservatives), which is often referred to as liberal bashing. It's the stressing of the words you're having trouble with. Listen to Rush Limbaugh, and you'll hear this sooner or later.
If Bush just had a brain fart about Sweden, he would have made fun of that fact when he saw the guy the next time. Instead he goes up to him some days later and says, "You're right. Sweden does have an army," as if he went and did some research and confirmed this difficult to verify fact. If I had done that, I would have gone up to the guy and said. "Wow. I can't believe I mistook Sweden for Switzerland. That was funny, huh? Sorry about that." He wasn't even embarrassed about it. It wasn't a brain fart. It was a lack of knowledge.
Like I said, I'm not big on Kerry, but I need to trust the president will use reasoned consideration of all of the facts before making decisions. Since Bush won't do that, he's got to go.
