Let's face it. Kerry is a wimp. If he gets in he's going to sell us down the river (If I was Bush on the first debate I would grab his butt right there on camera. I'll bet Kerry squeals like a little pig and simpers, "Stop!")
But I digress.
How long are we going to give this party 90% of our vote and then get a bunch of weak shoulder hunching when it comes time for us?
Face it, since we don't vote for the Republicans they don't even owe us nothing.
The Yahweh Ben Yahweh strategy:
I think he adapted this from the practice of Big Business, that gives money to both parties. Since neither one is our friend, half of us vote Republican and half of us vote Democrat. Then we have some possible leverage.
Whatcha think? |

I think that since you are chompin at the bit to put ol Dubya back in, then you should by all means vote Republican. Too bad you don't live in Illinois, you could also vote for Alan Keys. |

Once again you have misread my desire for my perception of events--but that is nothing new.
If you want to confront someone who is chompin' at the bit to get Dubya back in, you need to approach the Democratic Leadership Council, the Democratic Central Committe, Terry McAufliffe, John Kerry and his sorry campaign staff.
By the way, they had to hospitalize your boy Bill Clinton with chest pains. Maybe he seen the writing on the wall? |

BTW, you don't do so bad at mis-representing people, yourself, Chris. I have never said Clinton was my boy; just that he wasn't any worst than any of the other politicos who'd never gotten
caught. |
