How old is Michael Reagan? I listened to his radio show the other day and he was pretty good. He should run for president in the next election, I think he would win. Apparently the country liked his dad a lot.

Kerry's attendance is sickening. I bet the people who voted him in as senator are glad they are paying his exhorbitant salary. I wonder what would happen if I just didn't come into work because I was busy looking for a new job. If I am a senator I guess I would get paid.

I want to get a little more "active" in this election. Does the Bush campaign give free bumper stickers and stuff?

Nothing would make me happier than seeing the Senate vote to expel Kerry.

They can do that.

Yargh, BFL lives.

Kerry has missed 80% of his senate votes this year.

Bush will not dump Cheney, though if he flipped to McCain the election would be sealed in his favor, it's too late anyhow. McCain has already filed for a candicacy that prevents him from running for presidential offices. He isn't likely to back out of that commitment.

Secondly, McCain is not really a Republican, even though he's a Republican. He's what we call a RINO. If Bush were going to dump Cheney I'd much rather see him pick up Senator Zell Miller from Georgia to cross party lines and devastate the opposition.

No chance in Tarturus that I'd vote for Kerry, by the way. Every domestic issue where Bush is weak, Kerry is weaker. Given that:

Every commanding officer Kerry ever had in Vietnam says he's not fit to run the country

Kerry has skipped well over two thirds of his senate votes in the last two years

Kerry voted against the troop funds and against every critical weapon system now in use when they came to the chopping block during the Cold War

Kerry cannot hold a consistent position on any issue

Kerry is *the most* liberal Senator in the entire United States (even more liberal than Ted Kennedy)

Kerry is the sex idol for the "anybody but Bush" movement.

Kerry endorses hideously socialist and anti-American webrings like MoveOn.org and Democratic Underground

Kerry did in fact vote to raise our taxes on nearly 350 seperate occassions. (Looks as if this must be the only thing he actually bothers to vote for).

Kerry's speeches after he returned from Vietnam were quoted to POWs by the Vietcong in order to *break their morale*

Kerry was a close political ally of Jane Fonda

Electing Kerry will set us back ten years in the war against Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorism. I'd be glad to explain why, but not in this post.

Kerry wants to rape America of it's military sovereignty and turn it over to the incredibly corrupt UN.

Kerry believes stopping terrorism is a "law enforcement issue", which is exactly the policy that got us into this mess in the first place. A policy implemented by Clinton's administration as well, which ignored over five distinct and seperate overt acts of aggression against America. That policy summarizes like this: "We cannot stop who we cannot arrest, and we cannot arrest foreigners. Syria... please extradite the people who hate us like you do and try to blow us up. Pretty please."

I could go on. But I think you get my point.

Kerry skips votes and Bush goes on vacation, we've got quite a selection this year. I still believe that Kerry + Republican Congress > Bush + Republican Congress. Tax cuts to stimulate economy when running a surplus are a great idea, but who wants to continue the policy during a war with serious deficit spending? Sounds like short term, get re-elected, bass the buck politics. I'd rather see what Kerry does in 4 years than have 4 more of the great international relations Bush has implemented. Perhaps we'll get a better choice or choices in 2008.

And BFL if I wanted to see random propaganda mixed with personal opion, peppered with a few out of context facts I'd go see the Moore "documentary" again, or I'll just do it myself:

So what if Bush is incompetient, at least he didn't shoot himself in the foot to get three purple hearts and then come back and and go communist while sweating to the oldies with Jane Fonda, then inventing the internet so he can use free speech to create anti-american webpages that were printed out and used to give John McCain paper cuts in vietnam. All the while he was plotting to marry the ketchup lady to steal all her money in a attempt to drink more and be more liberal than Ted Kennedy so he can get elected and draw a huge salary and never show up to vote except to vote to send our troops overseas with only rusty generic brand swiss army knives and those cartoon bombs with the long string fuses. Oh yeah and if he finds out that the majority of people who elected him don't agree with the way he was voting on a particular issue- He changes the way he votes so the most people are represented, that bastard!

It's more of what he won't do...
At least he can keep with his traditions.

Kerry is enough to make me wish Hillary was running.

I want him to lose just to prove the point that as a candidate you should run -as- somebody, not -against- somebody.

I'd vote Kerry in a heartbeat if he had a platform, and I'm Republican.

I'm Republican as well, but I usually vote for the policies. I agree with Payndar on the whole "running against" thing.

Id rather see them both do and old skewl gentlemans duel, and hopefully shoot each other, im against many things Kerry is supporting, and Bush as well.... NO MATTER WHAT THOUGH I will not vote for Bush in any way. I work for the USPS and if Bush is relelcted there is a great chance that the post office will become privatized and mand duties partitioned out to the private sector, his rebuilding plan for the PO would completely deplete staff, service, and location to the second(first?)leading employing agency in the US. I LIKE being a government slacker damnit!!!
