So what, he's not president, yet, let's deal with the one in office
first.


BTW, one of the things I think is wrong (but possibly fixable) in our
political system is that it's impossible for a "real" person to get
elected to anything these days. I'm not sure about you, but there are
things in my background from a different life long, loooonnnnnggg ago
that make me "unelectable" because of the surety of dirt-digging and
mud-slinging politics.

Yeah I'm on a soapbox - so what?! BUT, that's enough politics on
roff
for today boys and girls. . .

There's no way in hell I could run for president in this day and age,
they'd have a field day with the things that I used to do. Hell they
could fun with some things that I do now for that matter g. On top of
that I'm just middle class, hopelessly fat, and lets not even talk
about looks other than to say I have scared children just by smiling at
them. :(
No way a political party would show me on TV.

I'm fairly in agreement with you on this point. And it goes beyond the
"background" stuff to the money and the TV/pundit sound bite.

Think about it for a second, for a job that pays 400K for 4 years, free
housing, the private use of a 747, the guarantee of never being in a
traffic jam, and the joys of playing with a bunch of codes that can end
the world, both jokers are going to spend untold millions of dollars.
If you or I ran our businesses like the folks who run for office do,
our returns on investment will have us in bankruptcy in a manner of
months. The senate, house, and state elections are even more obscene
with the amount of money spent in relation to the salary. And the same
people spending money at 100 times the benefit are the same folks
making economic policy?

If I was in charge, I'd jump start the ecomony by not allowing spending
on a campaign that exceeded the cash compensation for the term in
questions (each side in a presidential election could only spend 400K x
4 or 1.6 million), remove the tax exemption for political think tanks
and foundations. Think of all the wasted political contributions that
could now go to infrastructure and capital.

I still remember part of a skit from my teenage years that Johnny
Carson ran on the Tonight Show. The basic premise was classified
advertising for certain jobs, basically jabbing fun at company CEO's,
Mayors, police chiefs etc that I have long since forgot. Except the
last job....President of United States "no experience neccessary".

(of course it was funny when Carson did it)

CNN isn't "reporting" that he said it. He SAID IT, on camera. Whether it
was on CNN or Fox makes absolutely no difference.

Do I believe he was telling the truth? Yes, because it's perfectly
consistent with Bush's personality, especially in the larger context of
the interview, such as: "the most self-assured man I've ever met in my
life" ... "You remember Mark Twain said, 'He looks like a contented
Christian with four aces.' I mean he was just sitting there like, 'I'm
on top of the world,' "

Well, now, I'm completely convinced - Robertson said Bush told him this and rw
believes Robertson is telling the truth - what more could a person want?

Robertson also said, "I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a
disaster, and B, messy. I warned him about casualties."

So, you also believe the Lord talks to Pat Robertson?

I think the Lord better get his story straight.

I think you ought to tell him what's what next time you are telling him what he
should do...

Its pretty clear that fanatics like you will be making up excuses for the
self defeating policies of your flatulent president right up to the point
when the last Marines are backing onto the helos on the roof of the US
embassy in Baghdad. If it wasn't for the guts and blood of our troops, and
the patience and trust of the American people, your **** ant Texas blowhard
Chickenhawk would look even more the fool he is.

Kerry will make sure the troops have enough ammo, body armor, and armored
vehicles, so more will come home alive. Tax giveaways to the rich got to go.
