We got what we deserve for voting for the guy. We did this to our self's.

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. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

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. --riverman |

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. 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. jeff |
