The Stereotypical Political OT

[CaptinPickAxe]

Who'd want this guy in office another four?

[David Jamieson]

uh, actually, I don't think that was one of his more bonehead remarks.

I personally thought the question was stupid lol.

sovereign is what the word means. What more is there to say other than sovereignity is a state of autonomous governing.

Which is basically what the shrub said.

You could have picked from more than 100 other things he's said that were really really dumb. :P

56% of Americans, last time I checked.

56% ah well, what's his name is right, democracy seems to be nothing more than a dictatorship of the majority.

right on!! And lets not forget Mr Bush's illustrious Military service where he valiantly served our nation with bravery and conviction by getting his daddy and other high ups to weasel his way out of serving in vietnam when so many others had to go in his stead. And the intelligence and integrity he displayed by learning to fly jets in the national guard,,he sure did keep the houston area safe from those gooks didnt he? and finally his "true honor" by disregarding a direct order from his commanding officer to report for a physical evalutaion because he was busy fighting "charlie" in alabama,,oh and helping his daddy and others with a campaign there as well. plus the rumour that bush was real fond of cocaine in those days(but thats just a rumour )

yes yes definately looking forward to another 4 years of the middle class getting royally fuked by the rich 3% and the repubs supporting the offshoring of good american jobs to the east indians where the jobs are better served

Not counting Florida

[The Willow Sword]

i think that the reason why florida is getting so many hurricanes is that this is the Lords way of telling them not to rig the election ballots like they did last time. these storms are just gentle reminders that god's wrath is REAL and that kharma is a
real B!TCH

[Shaolinlueb]

that was a tough question, i think that anyone put on the spot with that would have fumbled it.

Well... potentially. That depends on the voting system being used, as well as the constraints under which government operates.

[MonkeySlap Too]

Lets not forget the there were thousands of democrats voting in Florida who ALSO voted in thier home states. And in 2000 the dems promoted the concept of double voting to college students - and all they got was a slap on the wrist.

I know it's easier to appeal to the emotions, hence the rabid attitudes I see among many of today's dems, but when you actually dig for facts, not heresay, the picture is not good for us if John Kerry is elected.

Let's look at John Kerry:

This is a guy who violated the law by meeting with North Vietnamese while we were at wore.

Who hung around with people who plotted violence against U.S. Senators.

Who never met a tax he didn't like - for other people, but not for himself. Mass has a box you can check that allows you to pay a higher tax rate. The Kerry's have NEVER checked that box.

Who is for alternate energy, EXCEPT when it impacts him. Along with the Kennedy's John Kerry blocked a wind energy-farm from being built where it could be seen from one of his mansions.

He can't seem to actually stand for anything. His quotes on Iraq are all over the map - some so hawkish they read like FDR, others so appeaseing they read like Jimmy Carter. And they change based on his audience! Yecch.

John Kerry has never passed a significant piece of legislation, and is famous in the house for wanting to get out of work.

His wife funds political action groups that are often violent, or pose as other groups to incite violence or misrepresent thier opponents.

They get significant fuinding from Soros, a multi-billionaire currency trader who chose hos own profits over people by shorting the British pound and putting the UK into recession.

Is supported by political hacks who will lie, cheat, and steal (see the latest gaurd 'documents' scandal, or the new Kitty Kelley book). He should be able to win on his ideas:

Jimmy Carters Foreign policy (remember: giving away the panama canal - a strategic water way now run by the PRC red army, a country that views the U.S. as enemy number 1 in internal documents, cutting the programs that allowed the Ayatolla Khomeni to return to ran, and helping to create the problems we face today... I could go on.)

or Jimmy Carters domestic policy : 27% inflation, mass unemployment, and 'malaise.'

Make no mistake, Kerry is a Carter Democrat.

Meanwhile we have George Bush, who does what he says he will. Does not flinch or waver when the going gets tough. Who cut taxes, and led the fastest recovery ever to a recession he inherited. Whose unemployment rate is the same as Clintons when he got re-elected by a landslide. Where home ownership is the highest it has ever been, especially among minorities. And speaking of minorities, has distinguished African Americans in cabinet posts.

The media screams 'he lies', but when investigated he's found to be honest. The media screams 'he's a corporate guy' - but he has been tougher than any Democrat on corporate scandals - and frankly, the Kerry's and thier friends are far richer, and dangerous.

I may not agree with everything GWB tries to do, but he has proven himself (of course you need to actually research, not just take things at face value) to be a dedicated, strong, and capable leader. Someone who can help guide the ship of state forward. Is he perfect? Who is? Are you?

John Kerry is a rich brat who gets upset when he doesn't get his way, and changes his story based on who he is talking too. He just doesn't seem to have any principle besides his own greed for power and money. (Which is why it makes sense that he picked a trial lawyer as a runing mate.)

Finally, while GWB may not be the most eloquent speaker, but he is one of the most educated Presidents we have ever had. Sure, maybe he got grandfathered into Yale - but you can't stay there unless you perform, AND he has a Harvard MBA - which are not given away.

The American people are not stupid, which is why I beleive when they look at the facts, and measure the men, GWB will be re-elected.

Willow, there were several investigations by Democratic newspapers that proved there was no tampering in Florida.

There was however a great deal of Democrats who voted in thier home state AND Florida, which is a violation of federal law. Typical really.

To be fair, a much, much smaller number of Republicans did the same thing.
