At least she would be able to pay down the deficit all by herself.

In reply to PLEAESE VOTE FOR KERRY., posted by Sad Panda on October 27, 2004, at 4:20:52
Of course Kerry had reservations about waging a preemptive war. It was to be a terrible precedent that of course would trouble and insult the rest of the world.
In 1941, the US was developing the first atomic bomb. All Japan did was to launch a justified preemptive strike. Right?
Kerry isn't afraid to make adjustments in his policy to reflect the changes in circumstances, including the information available to work with.

Caution: do not enter if you are offended by the unbowdlerised word "*ss", even when it means "donkey".
Disclaimer: I haven't seen every page and therefore cannot promise that you will not encounter material you may find offensive if you explore beyond the home page, nor do I know enough about US politics to recognise everything which supporters of a certain party might consider pejorative. In particular, please avoid the "Mailbag" page; it includes material which might offend Republicans if it's seen as a parody of Republican francophobia, and might offend our French friends if it isn't; oh, and there are some uncensored words which Merriam-Webster considers vulgar.
Claimer: OTOH, I found it this site very funny; and it isn't in the same league for potential offensiveness as the site linked by http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20041012/msgs/407438.html , which was (rightly, IMO) allowed.
Enjoy :)

He has a piece of stand up comedy that asks:
"Would you like cake or death....."
everyone answers with cake....
except one who tries to change his choice back to cake
then they run out of cake...So my comment about war or sex was a direct steal from this comedy routine...
I thought it was silly...I guess not.

Sorry for getting a bit pompous there!
Things aren’t exactly fine here.
I’m not sure if I will even vote next UK election. I usually do, as the right to vote is a key element of a democracy. But actually it only makes a difference in a constituency where it will be a close decision. And now the 2 major parties aren’t a lot different.
The rush of hope when Labour was elected in 1997 was sadly misplaced, with their policies ending up more right-wing. And most of us don’t trust in Tony Blair following his lap-tog behaviour with Bush, and going to war despite the vast majority of us not wanting it. Then the main opposition party are disorganised and unpromising...
Good luck in the US, whichever you go for (or Ralph Nader!)

Now see, I live on a really really scary cul-de-sac. I think the little ones are too scared to come down my street, cause they may not get enough candy to make it worth their while!
The only ones we ever see are the kids who live on our street or the occasional teen ager in a car who has no costume and is much too old to be out trick or treating.
Sounds like your place is lovely. I like mountains and crunchy leaves.

Why thank you for that important reminder, Johnathon. I AM grateful that I don't live there, as I likely would be seriously oppressed. Or rather dead. Who needs a Halloween costume when you can just toss on your burkhah?
If perhaps you think I am being frivolous about this election, than you don't know me very well. Come to think of it, you don't know me very well. I figured the only negative I could get away with posting about our president was a complaint about a more mundane aspect of his campaign.
I suppose I could also post all the beliefs and values John Kerry holds which I do as well. But frankly, seeing Bush on the television standing in such a lovely ballpark and saying what he was saying had me a bit primed in the other direction.
Thanks again for your speedy feedback. I can't tell you how helpful it has been. I really can't.

I didn't vote last election because I didn't care. I didn't really see what difference it would make whether Labor or National got the coalition. I believed in oligarchies around then I think, and because I am so ill informed I didn't think that I should get to vote. But now I have given up on that one... We fought for the right to vote, and I agree that we should have that right - but I think it is a further decision whether we choose to exercise that right or not. If we don't care then I prefer that people refrain rather than just picking someone fairly randomly just because they think they have some obligation. Best I can figure voting is the right, and it is jury service that is the corresponding duty.
But now I see that it does make a difference (especially in terms of welfare policies).
There were student protests of Australia's support of the war when I was over there last summer. They were not happy campers.I didn't find you to be pompous at all (PBC to yourself :-) - take care.

The Bushes could add a pretty penny as well. Maybe we could take back all the excessive money paid out to Halliburton to pay down the debt...
wouldn't that be nice?
