You need to get over your gender/race issues. Try posting something about capability or lack of without the word black or woman in it. :D

Litmus test: Did you vote for Bush? Twice? Do you really possess the skills to identify either a conservative or an individualist?

with that mindset, I hope you are in the minority when Nov comes around as it would be painful to the country when you and the other snowed fools are proven wrong

No, I don't. I believe he's running for president of the entire nation. Gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, philosophy ... not a factor. Why do you think otherwise? Pigment fixation? You, yourself, (as redundant as that is) implied he's an "Uncle Tom." So if you're gonna get this wrong, at least keep the story straight. Do you think he's running for president of the blacks or president of the whites? Either way, I'm not seeing you right on that. :cool:

Republicans were the minority in 2000 when Bush won office.

not my car, but they can take your car and charge you towing and storage to get it back, and in some cases they can keep and use or sell "your" car.

Only if a broken law is involved. Same for the gun. You're reaching way to far to rationalize your fear, imo. :)

Here's a site a came across a few years back that covers Teddy's little driving misadventure. I find the detail pretty compelling and find it disturbing that the good people of Massachusetts can repetedly overlook his actions on that night in 1969.

Quote
Detective Bernie Flynn eventually put together a scenario for the accident :

        "I figure,we've got a drunk driver, Ted Kennedy. He's with this girl, and he has it in his mind to go down to the beach and make love to her. He's probably driving too fast and he misses the curve and goes into Cemetery Road. He's backing up when he sees this guy in uniform coming toward him. That's panic for the average driver who's been drinking; but here's a United States Senator about to get tagged for driving under. He doesn't want to get caught with a girl in his car, on a deserted road late at night, with no license and driving drunk on top of it. In his mind, the most important thing is to get away from the situation.

        - He doesn't wait around. He takes off down the road. He's probably looking in the rear-view mirror to see if the cop is following him. He doesn't even see the f---ing bridge and bingo! He goes off. He gets out of the car; she doesn't. The poor son of a ***** doesn't know what to do. He's thinking: "I want to get back to my house, to my friends" - which is a common reaction.

        - There are houses on Dike Road he could have gone to report the accident, but he doesn't want to. Because it's the same situation he was trying to get away from at the corner - which turned out to be minor compared to what happened later. Now there's been an accident; and the girl's probably dead. All the more reason not to go banging on somebody's door in the middle of the night and admit what he was doing. He doesn't want to reveal himself."

        "And the funny part about it was, 'Huck' was only trying to give his directions."
