DUMP YOUR POLITICAL BAGGAGE RIGHT HERE.
OK, now to respond to posters5 (staff)
WHAT THE...
politics!????:@
I reeeaaalllyy didn't expect that!
And what bad examples to use!
eddie:
Did ya hear Mr. Kerry asking for a hunting licensee the other day? I guess he thinks that hunters are folksy people, not intelligent people. What a pandering bigot! Did ya hear him talk about hunting before that, how he would go around in the woods ***on his belly, sneaking up on his prey?***
Did ya hear him ADMITTING he was a WAR CRIMINAL and accused his comrades of being war criminals too? Then the viet-cong used his statements to add to the torture of U.S. POW's and hung his picture up in honor for helping THEM?
I guess if you hate America and speak French you are considered intelligent.
EDDIE: Just because you disagree with someone, doesn't mean that person is not thoughtful.
Kerry and Bush went to the same school and belong (ed?) to the same secret society.
"the fact that being able to speak more than language is really a plus." But it does not help you as president, especially if you happen to be THE MOST LIBERAL senator in the U.S. Then they go see Mr. Moore's movie and believe all his lies.
Did you hear Mrs. Kerry say that Mrs. Bush never had a real job???? Did ya notice that every time she speaks somewhere, the polling numbers immediately go down a few points?
Did ya ever hear Jimmy Carter pronounce nuclear? "nucaler" Then he goes down to S. America with the U.N. to certify elections. The exit polls are the total opposite of the results and he says they are just fine. Then he fawns all over Castro. And people say he is the most intelligent, best ex-president ever!!!!!
Who won the cold war, Reagan or Carter? hmmmmmmmm???? Who produced a booming, low-inflation economy after inheriting the worst economy since the great depression?:p
I am not the biggest supporter of Bush and just may vote for Michael Peroutka.

Ya gotta love how politics brings out the "best" in people.
Personally, I can't wait to cast my vote, and get this over with. I'm tired of all of the mud slinging, name calling, and bickering. It would be interesting to see which election in the past has come closest to this one in how childishly it was run by both candidates. Obviously the debating of current issues won't end after the election, but at least it won't be in our faces 24/7 everywhere we go.

Alright Eddie, allow me to go Socratic on your buttocks!! ;)
But did I insinuate that you were claiming that Kerry would do a better job than Bush? :D

"Michael Moore admits his movie is propaganda, not straightforward new reporting, and as such it sometimes distorts the facts to his advantage. "
I would appreciate some straightforward reporting. It's a rare thing.
"Did you hear Mrs. Kerry immediately issue an apology, having forgotten that Mrs. Bush was once a school teacher? "
She is also a mom and The First Lady".
"you are now engaging in propaganda of the worst kind yourself by making things up? "
I didn't make any of this up, I don't go to GOP sites, and I rarely hear Rush.
Clinton did not inherit the worst economy since the great depression. It was Reagan? He turnd it around. Clinton inherited a very good economy.
"...spreading misinformation."
I am sorry you feel that way.

If you are listening to your parents argue about this stuff, you are probably more informed than most.
"I am 16 and unregistered. So basically, my opinion does not matter at all for another 2 years, and I can't make a dent in the polls. "
You can make a difference in other ways like passing out info.
"If Arnold can be a governor, anything can happen. "
Did you notice how as soon as he announced his candidacy, every "news" show was all about him? I guess that's who they wanted to win, and he did.

Tim,
There were many statements among Democrats and Republicans stating Iraq had WMD's. Also, there have been no successful terrorist acts against America since 9/11. Before that, they were occuring fairly regularly. Bush didn't get Bin Laden, Roosevelt didn't get Hitler.
I'm not that impressed with Bush's economy, but I believe things would be worse under Kerry. Bush is trying to make the health insurance better, but he can't get the support because of the hysterical Dems and TV "news".
"Unemployment up at its highest compared to over ten years ago"
It's lower than Clinton's ave. rate.
"stem cell research"
Bush is the first President to allow this type of research. He has also thoughtfully considered the moral implications of this type of research.
Tim,
You do make good points. I probably won't vote for GWB either.
BTW, many of the votes cast for Bush were anti-Gore (Clinton/Gore) votes. Remember that when you are thinking of voting **against Bush**. Have you considered a third party?

"I don't even know what I posted elsewhere that prompted this barrage of unsubstantiated invective from mra. In fact, prior to this thread, I had thought of him as one of the good guys. "
right here.......
DVD Town > Feedback > DVD Town... The Place To Be!
All I did was to ask why this forum is considered "elitist".
"mra,
in all seriousness, when people are civil these days, that's often mistaken for being "snobby". from where the heck people got that idea i dunno, but just look at our president, who substitutes folksiness for intelligence and thoughtfulness. being folksy is charming, yes, but charm is not substance. (n)
on the other hand, someone as educated as kerry is dismissed as a "french-lover", regardless of the fact that being able to speak more than one language is really a plus.
eddie"
"...one of the good guys..."8)
I guess I'm a little tired of all the politics. At least there is a topic now so there is no need to dump political opinions on topics randomly.

mra,
I'm registered as Independent, mainly because I believe our country needs more parties thus giving us more choices. In fact, if there were such a thing as having the ability to choose "none of the above" on a voting ballot, that's probably what I'd pick. I grow tired of every four years the same politicians making promises they can never keep. However, unfortunately, it always comes down to picking the lesser of the two evils. And at this time, Bush has had his chance and has failed miserably. As I said, I’m not saying Kerry is the answer to beat all, but I’m much more willing to take the risk on change than to let a proven idiot back into office.

"Proven idiot"
Who has an advantage in an election? The inciumbent VP with an economy which had been booming and only started downwards for a short time. Gore should have won by ten points like Reagan.
Somehow this proven idiot pulled it off. And before you say he had smart people around him, just remember who picked those people.
