3. Kelli..why do you want the troops to come home quicker? The longer they stay the longer you have your freedom..so if I were you I wouldnt be in such a hurry. We still have troops all over the world protecting your stuid ass, you want them to come home too?

5. That's just ridiculous. We had our freedom long before Bush sent soldiers into Iraq, and will have it long after they are removed. What you just said was an ignorant regurgitation of propaganda. Nothing more. While McCain would still argue to keep troops in Iraq, even he would certainly find what you said to be untrue and laughable. There are logical reasons for having troops abroad, (and also logical arguments against it,) but you definitely didn't say anything of the sort. You're one of those Americans that just say stupid things to embarrass the rest of us. Aagh...

11. God he's old. Too old, too stodgy and too "part of the system" to be our next President.

12. Although I may not agree with the issue, I do admire and love Ellen. She is such a class act in the way she stands for
what she believes in and does not belittle her guest if they do not share the same beliefs. Signed:Huge Fan

13. They're both losers for different reasons.

14. Ellen seems a bit confused (not surprising given her homosexual lifestyle). You see Ellen, it's incredibly disingenuous to attempt to caboose the homosexual agenda onto the civil rights causes of our country. When you speak of black men being unable to marry white women once upon a time and falsely use this as an analogy to the perversion of homosexuality, you offend many African Americans. In case no one realizes this, when a black person wakes up in the morning, they cannot choose to be a different color. Being black is an immutable non-transferable characteristic that has absolutely nothing to do with behavior. When someone who embraces the homosexual lifestyle wakes up in the morning, they can choose not to have gay sex...that's the difference. Moron.
