I am ****ed as hell at Bush but Kerry's voting record in the Senate is a greater fear to me than four more years of Bush. I only wish there has been an honest choice for President this year. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress.... "Ladies and Gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and Slide on the Ice!" (M.A.S.H. Sidney Freedman) There was. It was four years ago when the Republican party allowed GW Bush & Co. to drag his name through the mud. Phil Williamson Please, don't tell me you are talking about Al (I suddenly got religion) Gore. What a friggen joke. He goes to Viet Nam as a journalist, never got close to the fighting, suddenly got religion and sent back stateside to attend divinity school only to drop out a few months later. Yes, he has a lot of room to throw stones from inside his own glass house. As for Kerry, he threw his medals away when it suited his purpose but now wants to retrieve them and wear them as some sort of badge of honor. Sorry, you threw them away and don't deserve to put them back on now. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

Bob Reed ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bob, Bob, Bob - If being ****ed is therapeutic, go for it. If fear is your bag, go for it. Wishing for an honest choice??? Ask for an honest politician while your at it. Barnyard BOb - To ascertain if a politician is lying.... Check to see if his lips are moving, You are absolutely RIGHT! I guess it just gives credit to that old saying... You get what you pay for. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

Ah.
VOTE! Protect your freedom or we will take your money and clap you in jail! One of the reasons we have such low turnout in a lot of local elections is that we have an excessive number of elected officials who draw little or no salary and who constantly run unopposed. Why go vote in special election #12 for this year when the only thing on the ballot is whether Joe Putz gets to sit on the Parks board or not? |

Bob Reed dreamed:

It was four years ago when the Republican party allowed GW Bush & Co. to drag his name through the mud. Bob Reed responded: Please, don't tell me you are talking about Al (I suddenly got religion) Gore. What a friggen joke.

Bob, While Phil's reply is obviously (and needlessly) vague, I suspect he might have been referring to another potential Republican nominee, such as John McCain or Bob Dole. Phil, Unless you simply enjoy being mysterious, perhaps you should clear the air. Russell Kent |

I heard about some country where it was required to vote, it was the law. Don't know where it was, though... Scares the hell outa ME! What is the benefit of voting, when you don't really know anything about most of the issues? It is important that everyone feel he has a voice in major decisions... but it's more important that the decision be right. When a large number of people who have no idea on the issues (or a skewed prospective) votes because they were dragged into it, the "intelligence quotient" of the resulting decision goes down. If you don't think it's important to vote, then I say you are right. You should by all means stay home. I'd like to see controls on who votes. Citizens? Damn Sure! How did we ever get to a place where non citizens could even think about it??? Landowners? Sure! that's how it was originally. ENGLISH Literacy testing? Sure! How can you know enough to form a meaningful opinion if you can't read? Poll taxes? Sure! $20 to vote would filter out all those who are not even smart enough to provide for themselves. Computer literacy? This is a new one, but in the world of tomorrow it will be needed. |

It happens all the time. How many people only vote the party ticket? How many
voted for clinton because he wasn't Bush? I saw a street interview in 1992 where a girl said she voted for clinton because he answered the boxers or briefs question. How many people voted fo Bush 2 because he wasn't al bore? Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Heck....IIRC Bush the Junior was the FIRST presidential candidate in history (or at least in "modern" times) to be voted into office that WASNT the taller of two candidates! With the implication that voters perception of height seems to overwhelm any vote differences based on canditates issue positions or voter education.... Now THATS scary if true,,,, take care Blll |

Kind of eliminating the middle man. Well, that also. And they continue to vote for you even after you are dead. I can't imagine how else the current mayor got into office. I still can't believe he destroyed Meigs. I never got near there in my airplane, but wish I'd have made the trip and landed there while I had the chance. Neat airport being right by the water and the city like it was. Matt |

Gentlemen,
I didn't criticize any one of you, I only stated a fact about your selected leader. I do not have to list any of Bush's bumblings, he makes a fool out of himself everyday. I am fond of only one of his policies and that concerns abortion. The rest of his decisions (which are probably not his to begin with) are terrible. I am not necessarily fond of Kerry either, and I wouldn't vote for Nader. What's a shame is that this country can only have two people to choose from when it comes time to elect a leader. But I guess that's what happens when you live in a false democracy. Sincerely, Stan Kapushinski "Matt Whiting" wrote in message ... Stan Kap wrote: Bush is an idiot, period. Stan K.
