While that obviously would please you, there's another possibility: that
two relatively free societies will emerge in a long-repressed region, and
masses of people will see that and decide that THEY want some of that, too.

I am not a Republican, but whenever approached by exit
polsters, I decline every time, saying it's none of your business.
However, IMHO, one of the crazies being approached would not be able
to control themselves, trying to inject "Halliburton" and "Bush lied"
into every sentence. I have seen it, you have seen it.
Exit polls were wrong in 2000 and again in 2004. It turns out
that the earliest exit polls were taken in large cities, more from
women than from men, which skewed the results. In fact, some Democrats
were seeing a Kerry landslide in those numbers. CNN talking heads were
jovial. Then the heartland was polled, and faces began to drop at CNN,
CBS and NBC. By 2:30 eastern yesterday, Judy Woodruff's face was
almost as long as Senator Kerry's. Dan Rather was said to be as pale
as a ghost.


Chris Matthews went from giddy to downright glum in a matter of minutes.

Bill "lovely to see, that" S.

Now now, Bill, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel you know.
There is such a thing as a loyal opposition. Loyal to the country,
that is, not to whichever clique controls it at any one time.

Loyal opposition is fine (and valuable), Guy. Distortions, dishonesty,
outright lies and yellow "ambush journalism" aren't in that category.

The man is vile.

His IQ tests and his academic achievements don't mean anything.

The only measurement that means anything is Guy's assessment of him as
stupid. The sooner you learn that, the better.

Guess I never noticed this on your signature before, Ken. Nice (said with
the utmost sarcasm).

Helps your credibility a great deal (especially on a newgroup where most of
us where lycra/spandex . . . and many shave their legs).


Tell me you are not suggesting that shaving one's legs means
that one is gay.


No, it means you're conceited.

Yeah, but I was talking about the /opposition/ here...
