Obey the law and protect our civil rights.



So, are you runnin' as a Dem, Rep., or a Communist?


I'm not running for anything, but I'm supporting the Democrats. It's
critically important that they win the House of Representatives and/or the
Senate so that they have subpoena power to investigate the corrupt gang of
crooks and liars who have been flushing our country down the toilet for
the past six years.

What's with that "we" ****? I'm pretty damned sure "we" didn't vote for him
but our Diebold machines here don't have a paper trail, so I can't be 100%
certain.

You didn't vote for him, and I didn't, but Mark F. has a point.

What could have persuaded people to vote for this transparently
loathsome creep? And what's with the thirty-something percent who still
approve of what he's done? What planet are they living on?

Something is very wrong with this country.

The other two even more transparently loathsome creeps? Just a guess. .

We've been over this before. And you know the answer; as long as the
Democrat Party puts forth a candidate like Kerry, or Gore, the
Republicans, or the Greens, or the Independents will win the WH.
Hell, that was easy.

It continues to amaze me how many people still think 'a candidate like
Kerry' is less preferable to 'a president like Bush'. I'd take NIXON over
Bush.

as is quite apparent in this little corner of america, most humans are
very, very defensive when challenged about their choices or decisions -
even those demonstrably wrong. frankly, given this oddity of human
nature, i'm a bit surprised the percentage is that low. of course, it's
still most of those who have consistently expressed approval, isn't it?

during the last run-up to national elections, on occasions, i
intentionally argued with an old retired fella from pennsylvania who
regularly came to the bar that my fishing crowd attends every wednesday
after work. we argued about his announced decision to vote for the
shrub. he couldn't articulate a single rational independent reason to
vote for bush (did mouth some of the rove-ian election slogans and
mantras), but primarily he felt gore was going to raise his taxes. i
tried to suggest how bush's decisions were going to increase his cost of
living and ultimately affect him more than any democrat's decision about
raising taxes...couldn't pierce the armor of his individual decision.
soon after the elections, he quit talking much with me, and for the last
6 months, he's sat at the opposite end of the bar obviously avoiding
conversations. however, i noticed that instead of his usual order of the
higher-priced bottled beer, he now orders the cheap pitcher of nasty
draft beer that's on sale. he won't admit his error, & will find a way
to justify it, but i suspect he regrets something about his vote. he
might simply regret having ever sat near me.

in matters of politics, as well as other issues in life, most people
simply find reasons go on believing what they already believe rather
than confront their errors and chart a new course.
