Why Bush will get my vote!

[Balog]

Not a big Edmund Burke fan, eh? And I refuse to get happy about my congresscritter not raping my rights anymore than they have already.

The Repugs in Florida stole the election before a single vote was cast. Thousands of black voters were disenfranchised by a bogus effort to remove felons and others from the ballot. On election day, it didn't matter that most of the voters removed were not felons or disqualified in any other way. Floriduh doesn't see a need for provisional ballot status.

I like having w4rma around for comedy value.

Face up to the fact that you lost, accept it and drive on.

No -- Please, W4rma don't listen to him. Please, continue on reliving the past. Spend as much time as you need to convince yourself that you're right. Whatever you do -- don't let it go. Its critically important that you make sure that you convince yourself that Gore actually won -- 4 years ago.

Frankly, the bottom line is that I'd just about rather have a good old-fashioned all-out political fight with my avowed enemies than sit here day after day trying to convince people that it's not OK for our supposed ally to screw us over and over again.

Dean has some odd positions, yes. But can you honestly make the case that he's worse than Bush, except by saying "Yeah, but look at him! It's obvious!"

steal the election in Florida by counting votes

Isn't counting votes the way to win elections?

Won't happen in my lifetime.

Do you expect to have a very short one or something?

Isn't counting votes the way to win elections?

That'd be what the Democrats thought in Florida a few years back.

I think the Republicans were still under the impression that the way to win was to get the votes.

And never count them once you get them?

Micro,

Just the facts. We're all getting old fast. The older you get the faster it goes. In 20 years you will ask yourself, where in the **** did the last 20 years go!

My oldest son was born a few months before you. So, since I was older than you are now when you were born, I think I can safely say the 1934 and 1968 gun control laws will not be repealed in my lifetime. I'd be willing to bet they won't be in yours either. Ah, but I wouldn't be around to collect. This is not to say I'm ancient but rather realistic. If those laws do get repealed before I die (I sincerely wish it would) , come on over and I'll buy you a steak.

One of the great things about life is that no matter how old you get, you still feel like you are 18 inside. My 81 year old mother agrees with that.

The economy was growing at nowhere near 8% at the end of Bush the elder's third year.

Ya and Bush senior didn't decrease, I mean Increase, the chocolate ration. Don't tell me you believe the Bushivik Newspeak.
The economy isn't growing by 8% a year. Government economists have published a report claiming that the gross domestic product increased by ~8%.
Which, even if you take at face value, (the USSR for 40 years spat out bunkum statistics PROVING the superiority of communism, did we ignore them? No, we used them to justify budget increases ) are merely the product of a MASSIVE amount of short term stimulus which will result in long term harm to the economy. By sending interest rates to fifty year lows, the poor investments of the late 1990's rather than being liquidated (sowing the seeds for another boom), have been propped up as was the case in Japan circa 1992. Now with a "boom" caused by people people purchasing and refinancing homes the bubble has simply moved to the housing sector.

Not to mention the fact with the interests rates near zero, the dollar is in a slow-motion free fall.

Oh but hey, the economy grew by 8% so *** am I talking about.
