 Mr.President, are you sure these AOL CD's are part of "No Child Left Behind"?

Bush is a proven leader, Kerry is not... and every American knows this. American security is no.1, and Kerry rates dead last in people's minds in this regard.

Bush is considered more likeable, a better choice for CIC, and more honest.

The recession Bush inherited was whiped out in record time. The economy is good, unemployment low, interest rates low, new home ownership at all time high.

Bush is strong on defence while Kerry never has seen a weapons procurement he has liked.

Kerry cannot escape his past nor himself and Americans see this.

Kerry is all words, Bush is action. Kerry has done exactly nothing with his 20 years in the Senate ( well, other than oppose Reagan's cold war) while Bush led this nation through a crisis of a large, world changing scale.

Bottom line: Bush has done everything right, while Kerry has done nothing at all. Americans will stay with the known and reject the "smooth" talking liar.

Taking swipes at AOL is so passe.  It's only the largest, most successful, and most innovative on-line service by a huge margin.  

Nevertheless, AOL is only one of many information sources.  Pick and choose carefully.

"it's so easy no wonder it's number one"

YEA FRIGGIN RIGHT.  That's one of the main reason's AOL sucks.

They didn't start introducing "advanced features" till a few years ago.  It's what drove most people away.  The fact that up until about v6.0 you had to sit there and wait for the our glass when you knew the page wouldnt load.  

The only thing I got good to say about AOL is if you live in BFE they probably have a local dial up number....it's probably busy most the time and you will only download at a wopping 1.5kps but hey it's access!


PS can anyone answer my previously asked question?

The debt had to be rpm.

911 causes nearly 2 million jobs to go bye bye, the airline industry collapsed, homeland security was created and we went to war.

Deficit spending is the only way to pay. Do you have a credit card?

Plus, the debt is not a record based on GDP.

Nuke shall we make our 4 year bet from Jan 01, 2005 to Jan 01, 2009? Figured it should be settled by Jan 01 as to the winner of the election.

If a canidate does not get 270 votes doesnt the senate decide the election?


I've been following that same site on a daily basis just for hahas.

Seems to keep going back and forth Bush Kerry Bush.

A a few days after each debate Kerry pulled well away only to have the numbers switch back in Bushs favor a week or so later

Kerry was much stronger 2 days ago then he is today Nearer 300 with Bush around 220 and at one point Minnesota at one point was a "Strong Kerry and is now a tie. NJ was also a Strong Kerry and is now a Weak Kerry. Just based on the nonsence going on here Im predicting Bush ends up winning NJ
In any event the trend seems to be heading back towards Bush again just as it has the last several weeks
But
If youve followed that site you may have noticed that even the person doing it doesnt have great confidence in its accuracy as there are in his own words "too many variables"

I've never flamed you because of your beliefs and how you see things. Here's how I see it because you asked. If you want to carry it further and in more detail, we can go via email.

Because of what Bush has done.

1) We invaded another sovereign nation under false pretenses.
We've now lost over 1,000 of our own troops. Many innocent civillians have died as a result of it. Survivors of that are friends and family of the Iraqi victims aren't going to forgive so easily. Some of those might even be willing to attack us in return. This is becoming a less safe world in my opinion. I don't feel safer. Had Bush said he made a mistake, I'd respect that. He wanted this war, he got his wish. Their infrastructure is a mess. No organisation. You think the avg Iraqi is going to say that they hate us while facing armed american troops? No, they are going to say they love us, all the while behind the scenes, they are supporting their own against us.

Here's my prediction: As soon as the elections take place and leaders are "elected", they'll be assasinated eventually. As long as we have a presence in Iraq, there won't be peace. They look at us as the enemy. When we finally withdraw, the UN will have to come in to keep "order" less you want to see ethnic/culture massacres.

Iraq is NOT a noble war.

2) He has continued to squander our Social Security surplus dollars to help pay for the general programs our Federal Income Taxes should be paying for.

3) I have absolutely no confidence of Bush as our CIC. Uniter? Not a nation builder? HAH! What about this massive deficit with no end in sight?!

I'll stop here (Oh I got more reasons).

Regards.
