I don't know if he did or not. I couldn't figure out what he was
really for. And the one ad I heard had him saying something so dumb
Quayle would have been able to say it.

Since I can't stand Bush, didn't see anything great about Kerry and
was in the booth anyway, I voted Libertarian.

No, it wasn't a wasted vote. My state went, as I had figured, for
Kerry. And I like to remind the major parties that there are those of
us out there who think the two party system is okay sometimes and
sucks other times.

No, I think if you were some hick farmer from the South or Midwest, you'd
have no idea of what just happened, but you'd be overjoyed that you were now
personally safe from having a DC10 crash into your local WalMart, and proud
as hail that your nephew was protecting America by making Haliburton rich.
You'd not understand the fundamental crime against Capitalism it is to allow
Ken Lay and others to cut and run. And you'd find some way to blame the
screaming national debt and deteriorating foreign relations on Clinton. And
you'd probably say things like "Heck, the ice caps aren't gonna melt in the
next 4 years" and "Who needs wilderness areas anyway...no one ever goes
there!" And you'd think the French are a bunch of silly, inferior furrin
dimwits with foreign accents, and that the AyeRabs are all terrorists. And
you'd have no idea how much the "educated elite" you just re-empowered were
leading you around by the nose.

EOT? Not even close. We all gotta LIVE with this one.

From: "Tim J."

In your present condescention mode, you *would* suspect that. Here's
what you *should* be considering, IMHO: The Dems offered no viable
alternative to Bush (which was all this election was about).


By all
rights, someone with some uniting capabilities or a little charisma
should have been able to defeat Bush, and clearly would have done so.
Kerry offered neither quality.


100% on the money. Bush was very vulnerable in this election, and the
democratic party is so effed up, they not only couldn't take advantage of the
situation, they handed Bush the largest popular vote in history, the first
clear majority since 1988, and the electoral vote wasn't that close. Also,
there were significant Republican gains in congress. A message has been sent,
but I bet nobody is listening.

Here's a hint: If the dems want to beat Rudy in 2008, don't have trash like
Franken, Moore, and P. Diddey campaigning for you.

Nah! A Rudy and Hillary makes more sense.

Do you think that the conservative Republicans will vote for him in
the primaries.


I suspect that they'll do whatever God and their President tell them
to do.

I'd vote for him. I can't answer for anyone else.

Nice of George to open the door to the first female US president in
2008. Another president Clinton on the way.


What is it with you Democrats. You have a death wish or something.
Give yourselves a break and run someone who can match up their shoes
with their feet.
