You are right on there Jay. Talk about flip flops. We do need a strong third political party, some sort of strong
leadership...

It's already unaffordable for the vast majority of the population, and
even those who claim to afford it generally spend less time each year
in an aircraft than they spend on the toilet, which hardly seems like
a significant amount of flying to me.

Like I've said, no matter which party wins, they all turn Democrat.

"We've been waiting for you."

The Libertarian Party, not the Air Force.

With the change in Congress from "we will win" to "Yes,
Osama, we will cut and run" I expect an attack on NYC and DC
between Jan 4-20, 2007 and an attack in SoCal by March 19
that will force evacuation of much of SoCal

Then, on July 4, Jesus will return and transport the Republican Party to
heaven.

The big Dem victory can be summed up in the following words, "Get us
out of this war!" The economy is fine, the foreign policy is tolerable
(excluding the war), but Bush got us into it, he now has a mandate to
get us out of it. If he doesn't the Republicans will see an even bigger
debacle in 2008.

We got into this war with attacks on NY and DC. What is your evidence that
Bush was responsible for those attacks?

No, we got into the Afghanistan war due to the attacks on NY and DC. Iraq
was the result of stupidity on the part of our fearless leaders, and the
stupidity of the populace that supports those leaders.

There's about as much evidence that Bush was involved as there is that
Iraq/Saddam was involved.
