<snip>

Roger Stone is a Republican consultant who led the “Brooks Brothers riot” against the Miami-Dade County election board during the Florida recount in 2000.

There have been many times I've regretted it. When I look at those double-page New York Times spreads of all the individual pictures of people who have been killed {in Iraq}, I got to think, “Maybe there wouldn't have been a war if I hadn't gone to Miami-Dade. Maybe there hadn't have been, in my view, an unjustified war if Bush hadn't become president.” It's very disturbing to me.

1. It didn't stop him for working for bush in 2004

I hope regret eats him up alive and he just can't go on.

Stone is admitting that "they" stole the election in 2000 too.

[sabra]

7. indeed.

[rateyes]

2. He gets no damned sympathy from me...

I won't waste a second in an effort to soothe his conscience.

[Mist]

6. Yeah, let him stew in it! No sympathy here, either. It took fuck ups like the

Iraq war and 8 years of this catastrophic (p)residency to make him think "Maybe I shouldn't have done that"??

[Barack_America]

3. Ah yes Roger, it's all because of you.

You big, powerful man you.

Twit.

[mod mom]

4. May his conscious torment him for the rest of his life.

"Win at any cost" mentality cost this nation lives, our reputation around the world, our economy, and so much more.

[Botany]

14. I hope that "it" eats him alive

and he writes a tell all book and gives the money to wounded vets and then
he takes a long walk over a hill w/ a bottle, some sleeping pills, and a p*****.

The man just admitted to helping to steal the 2000 election .... in 2004 he
helped to funnel money to democratic candidates such as Al Sharpton.




I wonder how this Iraqi girl had her family killed around her by
Americans might feel about Mr. Stone?

[Wapsie B]

17. Agreed. If he truly had any remorse he'd walk off the top of a skyscraper.

Ninth circle of hell for him.

[glitch]

25. Or start flying in small planes. nt

5. Quite a guy:

[Barack_America]

11. Let us not forget his C.U.N.T. efforts.

He's a despicable piece of work. And don't believe for a moment he feels bad about Iraq, this is just an ego trip for him.

[eridani]

21. Disgusting. I'd forgotten that he was the one behind that n/t

[corpseratemedia]

8. Too bad for you Roger, their blood is on your hands

Feel the regret, feel it deeply, and I hope those pictures haunt you forever.

[notadmblnd]

9. They must think end times are here if their expressing their regrets now.

Wasn't he and his involved with the porn industry?

[arcadian]

10. If McCain had one he'd be praising himself for his help in the Bush victory.

People like him are complete scum.

[defendandprotect]

12. John Roberts was also in FLA War Room ...he's now SC Justice --!!!

This was a fascist riot with no police intervention which successfully

stopped recount in Miami Dade County mandated by FLA State SC ..

[peace frog]

13. Too little too late, pal

So "it's very disturbing" to you, is it? It's criminal to the rest of the world, F*ckwit. Go peddle your regret, no one is buying.

[Wednesdays]

28. Really, what he and his ilk committed was literally treason

Let's call a spade a spade.

[gratuitous]

15. Oh, you're disturbed are you Roger?

Bummer. The salient question is and will forever remain: What are you going to do about it? What would be sufficient atonement for those double-page spreads of the dead? How will you pay for your sins?

[4 t 4]

16. Maybe there would be no Iraq war

maybe ??

[Kaleko]

33. That's what gets me too. In his mea culpa

Stone is suggesting that Gore might have orchestrated 9/11 in order to push through the Patriot Act so we could invade oil-rich Iraq.

Yeah, maybe Gore would have done all that :eyes:

if he was a psychopathic megalomaniac.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Something disturbs Roger Stone? OMG, maybe he's getting a conscience!

[juno jones]

19. AWWWWW! Did poor wittle Macbeth murder sleep?

:nopity:

All the perfumes of Araby will not be enough to sweeten your little hands, fucker.

[tinrobot]

20. He's about 6 years too late with that confession.

[unblock]

22. mostly he regrets being a loser.

pun intended.

if bush were a wildly popular president and the iraq war were wildly popular, he'd be declaring himself a hero. he'd declare those killed to be well worth it if he thought about them at all.

so, mostly, he regrets losing.

loser.

[mopinko]

23. ding ding ding

we have a winner.

[Froward69]

24. Fuck Him and the

Elephant he rides around on.

[spanone]

26. fuck him and the horse he rode in on

[Wednesdays]

27. "I'm so sorry I ate you!" cried the crocodile

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,
"To play them such a trick,
After we've brought them out so far,
And made them trot so quick!"
The Carpenter said nothing but
"The butter's spread too thick!"

"I weep for you," the Walrus said:
"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.

"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.

--Lewis Carroll, "The Walrus and the Carpenter"

29. too little too late, Roger

you slimy crap weasel. May you have such nightmares over your role that you do not sleep again.

31. Eat s--t and die, Mr Stone...

I remember you from the old Crossfire TV show, you sanctimonious, lying,adulterous, perverted, sack of shit. Dante created a few circles for you...I can only hope that you shall inhabit one or more at some time in the not-too-distant future.

[Bluebear]

32. He regrets having his name inextricable linked with this loser President forever. nt
