Yeah,
And I will finally vote with a smile because it's gonna be a Republican
clean house day. I give it to the Democrats all the way, unless there
are some states with hopelessly stupid voters.



Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.



At least those states are so underpopulated they don't count much.

Sorry, I don't share the optimism. I think that the Democrats will not
take back either the House or the Senate if the local campaigns are any
indication. The Democrats are basically running on the "We're not
Republicans" platform but are not offering credible, intelligent
alternatives to the (frequently criminal) Republican malfeasance of the
past six years. I don't think it's enough to not be the Republicans-
the Democrats have to offer some alternative vision of the future.
They've failed to do that. Unfortunately most of the criticisms of the
Democrats from 1994 are still accurate.

"All political parties die at last from swallowing their own lies."
This has happened to both the Democrats and the Republicans. Maybe it's
time for other parties to advance into prominence and for these two
seriously corrupted cesspools to go away if they can't reform themselves.

That's a no brainer.

Montana has a Democratic Governor, one Democratic senator, and one
Republican senator who is running for re-election this year against a
Democrat and a Libertarian. It has one Republican congressman who is
running for re-election this year against a Democrat and a Libertarian.
They're not MY idea of Democrats, but you have to make allowances for
the wild, wild west.

A recent chairman of the RNC said "I do not get to
choose the chairman of the DNC, but if I did, then I
would choose Howard Dean."

The Democratic party goes out on the playground, gets
pantsed, their lunch money taken, shoes thrown over a
utility line, and rolled in a mud hole. Why don't they
grow some?

Think again. The 44 Democratic Senators in Congress represent
approximately 161 million citizens, while the 55 Republican Senators
represent approximately 131 million citizens.

I'm tying my desire to raise awareness for what I think is a worthy
cause to my riding a bike, well... 1) I like riding a bike and have
thought of riding cross-country on a fixed gear for a while, and 2)
it's not like I can just call up a bunch of TV stations and talk them
into running a story about a guy on his couch who thinks his story
deserves to be told. Hell, the very reason I'm doing the ride on a
fixed-gear is to differentiate the ride as something worthy of at least
a little interest/curiosity. Lot's of folks have ridden in support of
various causes, and the only way to generate interest is to be a bit
different....

If you did the ride on a couch, you would likely get television time:

for the Democratic party, sorry, I can't help but think that Bill Clinton
passed up opportunities to deal with this before things got totally out of
hand. When the inspectors weren't allowed to inspect, he could have
ordered immediate reprisals each and every time. Eventually the message
gets home. You let the inspectors do their job, or something gets bombed.
A direct linkage. But we seem to have problems with that sort of thing; in
our military handbooks, apparently it's a requirement that all such things
lead to escalation and ever-greater involvement.

I can't believe I'm replying in this thread.


Bill Clinton has been out of office for six long years during which the
Republican Party has controlled the Executive branch and both Houses of
Congress. Bill Clinton didn't invade Iraq. He continued the policies
toward Iraq that were in place from the prior Bush administration. The
evidence is clear that the intelligence people in Clinton's outgoing
National Security Council tried to tell the incoming Bush people about bin
Laden but the warnings fell on deaf, ideological ears. Bush and the
Republican party made this mess and America is finally waking up--too late
for the needlessly dead and maimed. And now the Taliban is returning in
Afghanistan because Bush diverted the war machine to Iraq. The only people
coming out of this on the plus side are the leaders of the arms industry.
And then there's that budget deficit every year under Bush. My kids will be
paying for that and their kids as well.


Brian, et al...

I implore you, please start your own thread if you want to bash Bush or
discuss the war itself. I'm not talking about supporting the
administration or the war. I'm just trying to generate support for the
folks who're asked to do the hard work.

If you have a single sympathetic gene in your body for the folks
actually fighting, suffering, or dying in the war in Iraq and
Afghanistan, you'll take your political discussions elsewhere.

I see Scott has little understanding of the dynamics of Usenet
discussion.

You have two choices - have the discipline to ignore flame-wars or
learn to enjoy them.

Complaining and pleading does nothing but invite ridicule.

Aahhhhhhhhh.........

Which ones represent the 20+ million illegal aliens??

Which ones represent those that accept the risk/reward aspect of their life
to try to achieve the American dream??

Which ones represent those that believe that the government OWES them a
living and even think they deserve more??

Which ones try to give away more government entitlements so you will vote
for them??
