Confirmed gun control is using two hands!


I thought it was "dead center mass"...

IMO the election was a contest between the people pulling the wagon and the

Mebbe. Mebbe not.

Here's a thought. No doubt many of the people who voted for Dubya
feel strongly about government workers, among other issues. No
increase in government! It's full of incompetents and bozos who never
get rated on their real performance, but just get raises anyway.

Or get re-elected. Dubya--the epitome of everything wrong with the
Government Employee.

I'm not sure I agree... I think Gephardt lost out because of nothing
short of a lack of charisma. I don't think people were paying that much


When Gephardt and Lieberman and other Democrats who are toward the central
of the political spectrum "dropped" out, there was a feeling the GWB was
unbeatable. When they dropped by the wayside, further left of center to
dominate the selection process.

Unfortunately / fortunately depending on one's political perspective, the
DNC has not put forward a candidate who could pull voters from the center
and right of center except for Kennedy and Clinton. Dukas was a "old style"
Eastern Liberal. Gore was an "heir apparent" because he serviced with
Clinton but move to the left of center during the campaign and lost the
center votes he needed.

No party can win the poplar vote unless they can pull voters from the other
side of center from their base. Be too far to the extremes of the spectrum
and they loose the cross over vote.

Kerry is so hypocritical he makes even Bill Clinton look like an honest

man.

One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of
flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of

my
flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically.

What prompted this outburst?


Temper tantrum.

Montana. The democrats here couldn't get elected as republicans in
Pennsylvania. They'd be too far to the right.


I've lived

in PA all my life, but it is becoming such a liberal cesspool that I
may have to retire elsewehere.



A Wyoming address would be good and even more conservative than here. No
taxes.


Why are all of the conservatives states in places that are cold in the
winter? My grandfather always said that the cold winters "kept the
riff-raff out" and I'm beginning to think he was right. :-)


Matt


Seems half a dozen or so southern states went republican big time yesterday.
Seems the heat is keeping the riff-raff out also.

I voted for Bush before I voted against John Kerry.


Mayor Daley, that you?

Stupidly, they nominated a guy whose political positions were to the

left
of Ted Kennedy's, absolutely ensuring a Bush victory.

There were many traditional Republicans out here -- myself included --

who
would have voted for a conservative Democrat in this election. But

there
was just no way for any of us to vote for a guy like Kerry.

The moral for the Democrats: Don't ever nominate an ultra liberal to

run
for president again.


I have often wondered how some people come to the conclusions that they

do.
Jay,,, for goodness sake you sound like you are a sock-puppet mouthing the
words of his puppeteer (Bush - who was famous for the 'Kerry's just like

T.
Kennedy' line). Kerry was far left? How, where? If anything he was as
centrist as Clinton was. You'd think he belonged to the Communist party

to
hear the prattle that is coming off of your tongue.


Even democrats describe Kerry as being left of T. Kennedy. It's pretty
lonely that far out.

Whoa, Nelly!

Slow down.

I've never voted Republican in my life.

Take me with you.
