 In 3 weeks we get to make a diference    they're saying this will be the lowest voter turnout in our nations history. This means your vote counts even more   1 vote becomes the same as 2 or 3.  As for me personaly, I am having problems figuring out which caused me more anxiety,  waiting for the AH con or waiting to vote on Nov. 7.

Like the old saying...

Be careful what you wish for.

Not sayin' Gore is much more than a political wonk, but...

[Toad]

...or, if you are going to be out of town, you can vote now.

I voted yesterday....for the Supreme Court Justice nominator of my choice!

From David Hackworth:

"We've got this argument going on between Bush and Gore," said Hackworth. "Bush says readiness sucks. Gore says everything's peachy keen. All of the brass are sitting there with their mouths shut. But now we don't have enough oilers to refuel that ship and we lose those people because our readiness is not squared away?"

Hackworth confirmed that 22 of the Navy's refueling tankers have been placed in mothballs since 1993, and that the overall fleet had declined from 435 ships to 311 during the Clinton-Gore years."

I vote that from now on we refuel in one of Dyslexia's ports rather than at one of Yemen's ports.

Hehehehe has anyone seen Buchanan's latest commercial? Well its playing down here in Florida around 8pm on most of the major news channels. It has a guy eating, he then starts to choke. He proceeds to pick up the phone and dials 911. The message from 911 goes into its menu choice but instead of fire choose 1 police choose 2. It say for espanol chose 1, for german choose 2, for french choose 3 for japanese choose 4. Well it goes on to about 10 for english and by this time the guy is dead. Then a voice over says something like this, "those other candidates are letting everyon in and ruining our country blah blah blah blah. Man he is a comple section 8. Is this one of those "other candidates that you are talking about?

As far as algore goes, he has lost already. They did a nation wide poll from every class i think from grade 1-7. Bush beat algore hands down. Here is the kicker, this poll hasnt been wrong in years

If this country were to pull its head out of its collective bellybutton we'd be developing alternate energy sources, increasing mass transport, using technology to create virtual companies so no commute is required, etc.

Instead we parade the flag around on our "Imperial Battle Cruisers". Why do we do this? Just listen to any State Department briefing: we're there for "national" interests, "our" interests, "American" interests.

We don't give a hoot about the people in the Middle East. I don't blame them for hating our guts.

So, while our floating "peacemakers" insure the oil transport lanes stay open, we drive around in our gas-sucking 4 ton SUV's throwing cigarette butts out the window and eating quarter pounder cheeseburgers in the non-biodegradable containers.

Ah, the Law of Karma, it's going to bite us in the bellybutton sooner or later!

"Meanwhile, the Navy said Thursday that it had recovered the final four bodies trapped in the wreckage of the destroyer bombed in Yemen one week ago, killing 17 U.S. sailors."

"Blur:  If this country were to pull its head out of its collective bellybutton we'd be developing alternate energy sources, increasing mass transport, using technology to create virtual companies so no commute is required, etc."

...and if we had started 10 years ago, we'd almost have something we could put into a test program by now. It certainly wouldn't be "mass" yet.

Which doesn't change the fact that these 17 were sacrificed on the altar of the budget "peace dividend".

Bill, "if you need me, I'll be in England" Clinton and his able assistant Al "I can type 60 words a minute if I'm 60 miles from combat" Gore have brought the military down to the same level of "unreadiness" that I experienced under Jimbo "I stood too close to the nuke reactor in the sub" Carter.

I'd hate to tell you the illegal things I did as AC to keep an RC-135 flying recon missions directed by the NSA under Jimbo. I _think_ the statute of limitations has expired..but I'm not sure...so I'm not telling. The recon missions were used to update the SIOP on a daily basis.  Without them, a lot of guys were going to die fast if we went to war (the BIG war).

It's always the same. The politicians cut and cut and cut the training and supplies and increase, increase, increase the mission requirements and deployments.

Somehow, it seems it's always the Democrats in office when it happens, too.

Go figure.

Sorry I can't feel humorous about the Cole.

You guys should read the transcript from the 3rd debate.  You need a translater to understand Bush.

Gore did an excellent job in the third debate.  Bush looked like he didn't know where he was.

Anyone see Bush on Letterman lastnight?  Or Gore on Rosie today?  BIG difference.

 Igloo,

 If you have problems understanding Gov. Bush I suggest that you go back to school and learn to speak English. Yes, Gore did a good job too. That is if your defenition of a good job is breaking the very rules that you put into the debate and spreading even more lies.  I'd give Gore a 100% in that regard. LOL the first thing I heard a pundant say after the debate was "did you hear any whoppers from Gore?" LOLOLOL

 Yes I saw Letterman last night, Bush did a great job and looked to me like he enjoyed himself.  I was suprised that Dave got "heavy". It realy stands out when you contrast what questions he asked hillary, better stated what question hillary allowed him to ask    Didn't see Gore on Regis or Rosie, but I'd be willing to bet that the line of questioning was nothing like what Bush got last night.

and Bush now leads by 10 points.... 49 to 39 in yesterday's Gallop Pole. And I saw a CNN tracking poll today that has Bush at 50 and Gore at 40.  So now the dems are getting out their sticks and rolling out the old dead carcus of the "Social Security" horse. They realy should start thinking about getting a new play book, although hopefuly for the USA they won't  

 The democrats made 1 HUGE mistake this election. They painted Gov. Bush as an idiot, which he's not. He even said last night that expectations were so low for him at the debates that all he had to do was show up and say Hello my name is George W. Bush.


 ahhhhh 1pm tomarow, then it's all over but the wait for me.

Hmmmm,....you know,..no matter who did what to who in the debates, I cannot get past the fact that Gore is a liar.  I beleive most politicians are liars, but Gore is a really bad liar.
The lies are so blatant and obvious.  I find it really, truly shocking that anyone would consider voting for him.

Pathological liars, such as Gore, belong on a porch in Bubbaville, where he could spend his days waxing poetically about "the one that got away".  No one there would think twice about the lies.

Gore may lie more than Bush, but Gore certianly has a better grip on the issues at hand, especially foriegn, than bush.

Yes, I saw the "whoppers" thing. I also remember the reply.

What's halarious is that republicans defend Bush's lack of response with Gore "breaking the rules".  If Bush would have answered the questions directly, there wouldn't have been a problem.  Much of his time was spent talking about something totally unrelated.  One woman asked about education, and the next thing you know Bush is off about how he'll make the military stronger, yada, yada, yada.

What I meant with the transcript is that there are more "..." than words when Bush is speaking.

He just does not have the capability to be articulate and clear.  That is something a world leader has to be, especially when dealing with issues like the Middle East.

"Well, I'll do it on their time...not impose our time on them.." Well, Duuuuh.. Of course...

What a nimrod.

I have the feeling that if Gore was Republican and Bush was a Democrat, you guys would be rooting for Gore.

Many good and interesting points from both sides, mostly.

Yeah Bush kinda worries me, but I dont susbscribe to the philosophy that he (Bush) is an idiot.  Only an idiot would say such a thing and believe it

Gore OTOH scares the hell out of me.  I have watched him for 8 years and read his book.  He is scary to the core.  His beahvior is combative when a President needs to work with Congress, not fight with it.  This was Clintons greatest failure and I see Gore simply continuing this unfortunate behavior.  Also, Gore was givin chief command over Clintons energy policies and I dont see anything useful to come from it.  Just gas prices nearly double what they were 8 years ago (which BTW, Gore supports even though publically he tries to give the impression that he wants to fix high gas prices...talk about honesty?).

Yes, Bush has me slightly uneasy but I know he was raised by good parents and is basically a pretty decent, common man.  I think he probably will do a halfway decent job uniting Americans beyond our differences in abortion and gun control and will try to get congress to act on behalf of the American people, not it spite of them.

If Gore gets elected it will be just more of the same BS coming out of the executive branch.  Im tired of Clinton and dont see Gore doing anything different and certainly, nothing better.

Thats all from little old me!

Igloo,

What ever you may think to the contrary. The MAIN INTEREST for the President is NOT foreign affairs. He is NOT elected to be a diplomat. There are people who do that for a living. He does not hold the world teetering on the brink of a precipice waiting for him to mispronounce or omit a word. Get a grip.

I think it's time for you to worry about your country and not about American politics. You seem to be hell bent for leather for Gore. Fine. Here's a clue. Your opinion counts for nothing as you cannot vote here, thankfully.

You seem to think that a fast talking liar is more valuable than a slower talking honest person. Just what passes for values up there??? You must think it's ok to lie, cheat and swindle then instead of being honest and forthright. I hope and pray that the voters of THIS country are intelligent enough to say that they are fed up with liars and deceit. You may want them but we don't.

Oh BTW a nimrod is much preferable to a liar and someone who can't recall the events of his life not to mention being a two faced hypocrite.
