Why? Do you really, truly, at the bottom of your heart, believe it to be a

If you are asking if I think it will be, my answer is "who knows what
might catch fire." For example, I don't think any of the trumpeted
Obama or McCain "gaffes" thus far are real election issues, but...

But if you are asking if I think it should be, then I'd say, yeah, it
should. The fact that the DNC didn't just get their gas at plain ol'
public gas stations - you know, like regular ol' people - is especially
telling. It's not the big splashy public things people do that give
real insight into them, it's the little everyday things they do. And
IMO, this is particularly damning of the DNC and many of the current
crop of Dems. I don't, however, suggest that Obama himself knew of it,
suggested it, or otherwise condoned it, so I can't state that IMO, it
reflects directly on his character other than as being a part of the
whole DNC "machine."

OF course he does: Its what this morning's RNC E-mail told him to flog
today. Where Richard is missing a bet is in charging for his services.
For example a while back I got into it with this flogger whose deal
was to fight for sno-mobiles and ATVs in National Parks, Monuments and
battlefields. She haunted rec groups and claimed to be independent.
Then I found the Blue Ribbon Coalition's IRS filing which showed she
was getting $30k+ a year from the industry lobby and that the main
sources of that organization's funds were dealers and foreign
companies. I think she was skirting the law which requires
registration of foreign agents. These same foreign companies were
substantial contributors to various radical wing nut politicians and
Aryan racist groups in the Northwest via the dealers and various front
groups, and were the principal funders of a legal assault to open
marine sanctuaries to jetskies in the San Juan Islands. (They lost.)

The wing-nuts who have temporary control of the Republican party have
been very innovative in using the net with paid and volunteer floggers
to influence public opinion. IMHO Richard is not a formal part of a
dis-information network, but at least he is a fellow traveler.

Oh, man, not the highly influential "Skinheads on 'Skis"...

Now I find that hard to believe - I mean, what sensible person wouldn't
agree with someone in a camouflaged hood on a black Waverunner with a
burning cross on the front...c'mon, now, admit it - it was really the
Dick Cheney and the Jews (performing nightly at the Bohemian Grove piano
bar...) that were behind it all, right?

Yeah, I'll bet Al Gore wishes he'd never invented the Internet...

Why do you keep blaming Jewish people for all the ills of the world?
It makes you sound like a closet Nazi. Speak to your religious advisor
about this before this hateful obsession consumes you. God bless.

You shouldn't talk about Mark Bowen that way. He can't help it.

what's to rationalize?? So what, they'll figure out where the law stands and
pay the tab, I figure. How, in heaven's name, does that, in any way lessen
the absolute stupidity of McCain's gas-tax holiday?
Since you bring that one up, let's look it for a moment.
First, the savings is what, around $0.20 per gallon? Yet, the money
generated goes into road and bridge upkeep
(remember that bridge that fell into the river up in Minnesota....there's
lots more where that came from).
So we will mandate a reduction in bridge and highway repair to appease the
slower-witted voters out there. And, at the same time, **** off anyone whose
livelihood stems from road or bridge construction. Great plan, John...no
wonder it was a non-starter!

Hey, Du-kakka-on-us did it with the gas taxes in Taxachusetts. He
used the money to help illegal Latinos. Meanwhile, our bridges and
roads went to pot, big chunks falling on cars. All roads and bridges
suffered, except the Mass Pike which was supposed to be paid for
decades ago. They keep borrowing money and therefore have to pay off
the notes, so, voila, we hafta pay ever increasing tolls.

To say nothing of the Ted Williams Tunnel fiasco........
