1. Bush knew about the 9-11 attack before it happened which is another way of saying he is a murderer.

See the testimony of Condoleeza Rice re: the PDB entitled "Bin Laden to Strike in US". Nobody that I know of thinks that Bush is worse than incompetent.

2. Blding 7 falling was an inside job alluding that Bush again was behind 9-11

I've heard a number of conspiracy theories. Like no Jews died on 911. Show me where they have any link to the democrats.

3. Bush invaded Iraq for oil and is a war criminal

The fact is that nobody knows exacly why Bush invaded Iraq. He stated in 1999 that if he had the chance to invade he'd be a hero and would have a successful presidency. Sounded to me like he was saying that is how he'd get a second term. He started an unnecessary war. If that makes him a war criminal....tough.

4. Bush is spying on American citizens

Bush is spying on American citizens. Have you heard of a "sneak and peek"?

5. Bush is allowing torture at G Bay

Bush is allowing torture.

6. Most of GBay inmates are innocent

Most of the internees have no link to terrorist groups and were not captured on a battlefield. Take a look at how many people we have released because it turned out that there was no evidence that they were guily of anything.

7. The minutemen are racists

This is a democratic party or dem activist statement? I'm sure that there are latinos who think this.....I don't know enough about it, nor do I think about it at all.

8. Anyone who wants border security is a racist

I've never heard this.

9.Petraeus/Betray us ad-The left even tryins to smear a war hero.

The left did not smear Petraeus. The left said that he was bowing to political pressure to say what the administration wanted said.

10. Bush is funding terrorists in Iran

You don't think we are helping groups who are anti-cleric or anti-Tehran?

11. USA invented the aids virus to eliminate black population

That is a continuation of the kind of paranoia that comes from the well documented fact that we allowed black men to go untreated for syphillus as part of a research program to find out what happens. There is a curious link to the start of the spread of this virus and a certain campaign to use vaccine in Africa. It makes little sense to say it was an attempt to attack the minority community, since it hit gay people more than any other group in the US. The population of Africa was hit harder than anywhere else in the world. None the less, you are talking about a rumor that floats around the black community but has few believers.

How about your statement that "democrats are a bunch of anti-American socialists who hate our country"? What a foolish and uniformed opinion....just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who tell stories about area 51 or that aids was developed to kill black people.

12. It will take 30 years to get oil if we start drilling

I have heard 10 years. Where did you hear 30?

13. NY times article about a McCain affair with a member of the media

Articles in all media about Clinton's affairs. Have you noticed that nobody is talking about McCain cheating on his last wife with his current one? The article in the NYT was primarily about McCain's campaign staff trying to keep her away from him and that it was too easy to see it as a problem if the democrats found out. The facts of the matter are far worse than his having an affair. McCain was bought by her clients.

14. "We have lost in Iraq" statement by Harry Reid

We have lost 4,000 soldiers in Iraq. What would victory be? We have destabilized Pakistan and upset the balance between Iran and other countries. Nothing good is going to come from our invasion. We are now $10 trillion in debt. Will Iraq ever pay us back?
