...Take a look at the 'celebrities' that
came out for Kerry. Moore, Franken, P-Diddy, 50-Cent. Are they your vision
for
a better America?. I hope not, because you seem far too intelligent to
think
like that...

One thing that definitely needs to change is the snobbish elite view that
all
Bush voters are ignorant rubes and yahoos...


Hm.......

Look at the map that John Russel referred to. It's an impressive win,
especially when things were going very badly for him. And, remember,
he is the first majority president since his father.


You want a map? Here's a map:

as anything Bush & co. have done. ...


That's as silly as anything I've read in this thread. Not all Shrub voters
are ignorant yahoos, but 75% of them are. If you believe Saddam Hussein
was involved in 9/11 you're so criminally stupid and uninformed you cannot
possibly cast an informed vote. Period. And calling those people stupid
is not arrogant or condescending or elitist, it's just flat out true. I
don't give a **** if you think Lawrence Welk reruns are the only decent
thing on TV and that watching Will & Grace makes hair grow on your palms
but by God if you're gonna vote you have an obligation to be informed.

The one thing that definitely needs to change in this country is that
"liberal" is a dirty word.

it just might change your mind.

Well now, THERE'S a brilliant thesis defense.
