NDD, Ok, I'll help run machinery if he's on our side. I've never driven a tank before but it looks like a heavy tracked vehicle and has a throttle doesn't it? I hear you can't see out of tanks very well and I'm good there, never looked when I was running cat either. I used the guidance system called braille. Reaper, Nothing you said I disagree with. I wrote what I hoped.

Aww shame on you NDD for categorizing us all that way. For me it's all about the physique. :cool:

I do agree with The Reaper, and it disgusts me how many people place their votes based on "popular opinion" or based on the thoughts of others. Voting for POTUS is always a serious matter, but now so more than ever. We need someone who will not back down especially as it relates to the WOT, our security as a Nation and as a people. I haven't noticed any democratic candidate exhibit the qualities I want to see for a strong and fearless leader of this Country. We cannot back down. Ever.

Ummm...can you say CLINTON!:D

I'll wait until Kerry chooses a running mate. If Edwards is chosen. I think it's going to be a tight race.

You should try Massachusetts sometime ! :D

Where being a Republican is akin to if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it does it make a sound

Does anyone think Cheney might not run for VP again?

I just had one of my best friends move in with me this past week. We never discussed politics before. He has mentioned that he wants Kerry to win the election.

Me: "Kerry? Why?"
Matt: "Because he is a decorated war veteran."
Me: "Ok, that is a start. What else."
Matt: "Bush never went to Vietnam and Kerry did."
Me: "But why is Kerry a better leader for the U.S?"
Matt: "Bush got us into a war. Where are the WMD?"


Now Matt is a great guy and at 34, is more interested in the sports we play than he is in politics, to be sure. When I was off at college he was in the Navy Reserves (Seabees) and works in a machine shop. I have had an opportunity to learn a little more about things than he has. I certainly don't think I am better than he is because I am a little more aware than Matt. The kid is not dumb, just has specific interests.

The last conversation we had was about an answer to his question: "What is a liberal?"

I guess my point is that many people are misinformed, or even worse, uninformed. They are lethargic and apathetic when it comes to choosing a candidate, much less educating themselves on the issues that affect our future.

To Matt, they have very little to do woth his paycheck, his rent, car payment, and this past weekends' football tournament. I think many people are like that.

I hope Bush does win. There was no democrat that I felt could do a better job. But I am not convinced that he will be a sure bet in November. My friend Matt is not a voter and is more apolitical than anything else. But people out there who do follow politics get there information from one or two sources. And those sources tend to be more anti-Bush/Kerry apologists.

I think it will be closer than I would want it to be. They will not underestimate Bush again.

Bush-Cheney/2004.

It truly shouldn't matter which party you are for Recorder of Deeds, etc., but for Sheriff (usually the hottest thing in their a.o.), Mayor, etc., it matters. Most of those from my hometown who will actually discuss their politics in a rational manner are truly conservative and more in line with the Republican platform. I suppose even Recorder of Deeds nominees must declare party affiliation.

Dunbar FC: LOL

Pfffft. THAT vote isn't for public office. LOL. Okay, I know there are some whose eyes overrule their brains, but certainly not all of us.

I am disgusted by the number of liberal Democrats on this site. 40-2. Sheesh! :lifter

I've been reading a lot of letters/comments from long-time Democrats that say that for this election nothing matters to them more than who can win this war -- that if we lose the war nothing else will matter. They will be voting for President Bush.

Already got our cell in Bangkok, and with the mix of SF, Rangers and PJs, I'm not too worried about your agrarian reform movement (there are people here who have a lot more experience in that area than you...and the bulldozers can ruin your day). However, any and all are welcome to visit anytime.

Can't post much right now, I'm updating the Red Book in Thai.

Don't worry Mr. Harsey, we have infiltrated a singleton into GH's AO. I'm a little worried though, no comms for a while - he may have been compromised by the reactionaries. Needless to say, we have alternate, contingencies, and emergencies on stand by.

Aries 2, Aries 2, over.

I may have to go start a foco myself. Recruit some assets no one would ever suspect. Must use a ruse to throw Osama Bin Mama off the track. Thinking...Planning...So little time...

Your singleton is doing great, NDD. He is a fine consumer, spends money like it's going out of style. Not much of an agrarian reformer though. LMAO

Anyone else see this article yesterday in the Wall Street Journal?
Seemed appropriate for this thread,

Since WSJ is subscription only I scanned the image (didn't see
any publication limitations so admins delete if inappropriate).
