I know what non-Bush supporters would say to the film because I am one. Although I'd like to hear their thoughts. I'd especially be interested in thoughts from people that support Bush.

However, I remember when the planes hit the tower and President or not (waiting for secret service or not) I don't agree with just sitting there. I live in NY and that was the most devestating thing I've ever seen. Bush just sat there and had a straight face while NYC was devestated. However, I think when it did happen I was happy Bush was president I think he handled the catastrophe in NY well after the attack. Hillary Clinton is a whole other story.

Both try to manipulate the masses by quoting facts incomplete and add some "facts" (we can't call them lies today because we can't proof that they should know it better).
Shame on both of them
iota said:You know what? If it has an effect, then so be it. Just seeing the venom that is continuously spouted against a sitting president with absolutely no regard for the office is just sickening. I've vowed that for the sake of this nation, if Kerry is elected, even though I am dissappointed, I will honor the office he holds, pray for him and wish him the best. I just hope that more people, whatever the outcome, can put aside partisan emotions and unite as a nation. If I can do it under Kerry, democrats can do it under Bush. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing in a respectful way, but calling him a war-criminal, a betrayer...etc...it's just venomous rhetoric. Saying he lied because he acted on faulty information is not logical and is propaganda. Disagree on policies, but this level of personal attacks will destroy this nation by making us hate each other. Both sides are to blame - but let's be better than either when the results come back election night, whoever it is. And start over. Whoever the next president is - he is not worse than our enemies. Let's not treat him like them.
iota said:And while what Moore shows from Iraq is disturbing, his point seems to be that people dying makes the war invalid. The sad truth is that people die in every war. We aren't the ones hiding behind civilians and beheading civilians. We aren't targeting civilians. Our enemy blows us up and themselves up; they don't care as long as somebody dies. We as a whole are not like that. Moore's view of this behavior being widespread will turn this into another Vietnam where his ilk spit on the soldiers when they come home and call them war criminals for political (or in Moore's case financial) gain. That is definately the picture he is painting with his propaganda.
