It amazes me that anyone, particularly anyone in the the aviation
community, would continue to support this nightmare of an
administration.

On Nov. 2 let's dump this blackhearted, greedy, pathological liar,
dry-drunk blowmonkey and put a *real* pilot in the White House.


Perhaps most of us look at the big picture and understand that a Kerry
presidency would be a disaster.

Jimmy Carter is looking forward to a Kerry presidency; then Carter's would
be only next to worst.

If Kerry was President, then Jack Nicholson in "Mars Attacks" would look
good by comparison.

Wow, you've convinced me with your meaningless analogy..

You've convinced me you have no sense of humor.

As near as I can tell, it's about 98% of pilots who are smart enough to
realize that a Kerry administration would be a disaster.

When the Democrats see a problem like the coming crunch in ATC capacity,
they just can't resist the "Tax and Spend" response.

Same thing with a host of other things:

Guess how many people OTHER than Mexicans are walking across our southern
border? Hint? It's more than the margin of the popular vote by which Gore
lead Bush in the last election. These are people from other countries who
went to Mexico first because they knew it was the easiest way in if their
papers wouldn't stand up at an airport of entry.

Sit at any railroad crossing and watch the cars go by. What do you see on
the sides of the Hazmat cars? GRAFFITI! The war in Iraq makes me feel real
safe from terroism.

When Democrats see problems, that old "Tax and Spend" is just like a knee
jerk.

Now, the Republican's aren't really different on the spend part although
they tend to spend on different things. It's the tax part that is important.
Cutting taxes and giving money back to the richest is important because they
already have everything they need and won't spend it on silly things like
necessities that will just increase the demand and inflationary pressures on
consumer goods. Most of those things come from China now anyway. Instead,
they'll pump the money into the imaginary value of companies by buying stock
and increase stock values which everyone knows is the only measure of our
economic health and strength.

The Republican strategy is "Borrow and Spend" and the real genius is to
borrow the money from our children. Children don't vote so their future
upset over their taxes won't increase risk of a Democratic administration
after the next election.

It is amazing that any Kerry supporter would dare to call Bush a
pathological liar.

Unfortunately statements like these just tend to make people dig in. Just
present the facts and let people decide for themselves.

Thanks for the info.

The FAA wastes most of its budget. The Wall Street Journal makes a favorite
target of air traffic control systems that cost ten times what off the shelf
equipment could do better. The FAA spends decades and millions of dollars
developing new technologies and programs which were obsolete before they
even began studying them and then cancels them at the last minute.

They build architecturally monstrous ATC facilities that don't work right
from the day they are opened, have leaky roofs, cracks in the walls and
floors, substandard plumbing, inadequate parking, and poor security. The
moldy LA facility that they are complaining about is moldy because of
managerial negligence, not age.

The FAA budget should not only be cut, but much of the management should be
brought up on charges for criminal dereliction of duty.

You could substitute "U. S. Military" for "FAA" in those statements with
perfect accuracy. I have plenty of experience as a contractor for both
and have found the military as bad a steward of public funds as the
FAA - and they have a lot more to spend. My favorite example is a big
pallet-load of new-in-the-box dot matrix printers still gathering dust
in a mechanical room at an Army base: it has overnight shipping labels
on it.

In case you don't find that depressing enough, let me tell you that NASA
is worse than both of them.
