Oh, that's a great quote about Dubya.

Anyway, I hereby proffer three articles for your reading and knowledge enhancement.

It's the stupidity, stupid from Salon.com

The Emperor's New Brain from Slate.com

Nader's groovy night out from Salon.com

The election of the next United States President is getting closer...I think it was Michael Moore who said that Democrats have smart presidents and dumb staffs while the Repbulicans have dumb presidents and smart staffs.

Enjoy. Comment.

I really wish McCain had won the Republican nomination instead. Then I'd have to ask myself who I'd vote for.

------------------
You wouldn't understand. It's a Jeep thing.

And I ask you the same thing I asked my cousin, Jeff. Why don't you like Bush?

McCain didn't have a chance of getting the GOP nomination. He didn't get more than 25% of the Republican vote in any primary. The only reason he won ANY primaries was that stupid idea that someone came up with called an "open primary". DEMOCRATS were voting in OUR primaries.

As for these articles, whoever wrote them is just jealous of Bush's intelligence, 'cause they certainly don't have any of their own. I say again: WHAT EFFING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE if he can't do public speaking well? I can't speak in public, but I'm one of the smartest people I know (not to sound immodest). Bush's IDEAS are better, and you can actually believe what he says, unlike Gore. Oh, and then there's the fact that he's never been involved in any criminal activity...

And in case you're wondering why I'm attacking your cantidate to defend mine, you started it.

I DO NOT LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH

THAT IS NOT AN ATTACK, OMEGA. Neither is, "I am a staunch-anti Dubyah supporter"

It's that simple.

Now, THIS is an ATTACK!

GEORGE W. BUSH IS A LYING, SCUM-SUCKING, DADDY'S RICH BOY WHO IS A WORTHLESS GOVERNOR AND WILL DO TO THE U.S. WHAT HE DID TO TEXAS!

Do you see the difference?

Do you understand the difference?

Good.

Suprise Testimony In Texas -

George W. Bush could face new questions following surprise testimony in a politically charged Texas lawsuit. Last year, the state's former chief funeral regulator, Eliza May, charged that she'd been fired for launching an investigation of a funeral conglomerate headed by Robert Waltrip, a major Bush contributor and family friend. In a sworn affadavit (see Newsweek.MSNBC.com), Bush denied any knowledge of the probe and said he'd had "no conversations" with any funeral-commission officials about it.

But in a deposition last week, NEWSWEEK had learned, Robert McNeil, the ex-fneral-commission chair and a Bush appointee, described an enounter with Bush at a '98 fund-raiser. According to McNeil, Bush asked him "have you and Mr. Waltrip got your prolems worked out?" Replied McNeil: "we're still trying to work on that, governor." Bush then said, "do your job." May's lawyers the testimony shows why they need to grill Bush under oath. Bush's addivavit was "disingenous at best" said one. A Bush spokesman called McNeil's account "False" and a "totally new rendition of what he's said before."

You're right about that. NASA funding in a hermetically sealed Zip-Loc bag? This is supposed to be funny?

JK:

"You" plural, Jeff. As in you and Jay, being both liberals.

"LYING, SCUM-SUCKING, DADDY'S RICH BOY"

And this doesn't apply to Gore?

"WHO IS A WORTHLESS GOVERNOR"

Hmm... Clinton, anyone?

"AND WILL DO TO THE U.S. WHAT HE DID TO TEXAS!"

One can only hope.

I think I'm allergic to all of this hypocrisy from both sides of supporters.

I need to find a container to put all this runny refuse in.

Are you really that stupid? Don't answer.

You said that I was attacking/bashing Bush by saying that I didn't support him.

I said, no, and then I gave you a demonstration of what an attack would have been so your pea-sized brain could see the difference.

And then YOU attacked.

Let me ask you a question, Omega: are you even old enough to vote?

Oh, and Omega ... Clinton isn't running for office. Term limits? I mean, bashing him is like me bashing Mr "Read My Lips." Of course, Clinton DID get re-elected ...

------------------
You wouldn't understand. It's a Jeep thing.

I said this where?

"Are you really that stupid?"

This coming from someone who thinks that ad hominem is a legitimate debating tactic...

Okay: remember that study that (done by an independent watchdog agency, but released to the press by the DNC) showed Texas had dropped in rank of children's health care quality from 20-something to 48th?

Well, according to the people who released the study, the Children's Resource Center, the drop actually began BEFORE Bush was governor, and the data was collected BEFORE his first year had even elapsed! The real drop was due to the PREVIOUS governor... Democrat Ann Richards.

Ta-daa...

Oh, and there's a Gore add running in Nevada that intimates that Bush will guarantee that an unpopular nuclear waste storage facility will be built. In actuality, BOTH Gore and Bush oppose said facility.

Fibs, scare tactics, and half-truths. Brought to you by the folks at ClintonCo.

I said "well, as a staunch anti-Dubya supporter, I hope Gore wins"

You said, "and I ask you the same thing I asked my cousin, Jeff. Why don't you like Bush?" in the same post, you added "and in case you're wondering why I'm attacking your candidate to defined mine, you started it."

THAT is where you implied that my earlier statement was an attack on Bush. I doubt very much that it was directed at Jay because you directed it at me by using my name.

I don't dislike Bush. You assume too much, Omega. Past your bedtime? He's a nice guy. I just don't want him running the country. HELL NO.

Now, I did do a fictious assault on him because you apparently don't know what an actual attack on a candidate is. Hopefully now you do. Do you? Hello? And then, accusing me of "ad homiem" all the way, you turned the attack right back on ... Clinton ...? Hello? He's not running for office, genius. Gee, maybe I'll attack Nixon next ...

NIXON'S A FUCKING ASSHOLE, DON'T VOTE FOR HIM, HE'LL FUCK THE COUNTRY UP!!!!!!! (go bash Johnson now, okay?)

I mean, come on ... kind of pointless, wouldn't you say, Mr. Omega? Nevermind that Nixon's dead ...

First, is there a current study showing what Texas' rank is? How long has Bush been in office there? I would imagine there'd be a follow up study -- tell me, where is Texas now? Is it better off? And if the drop began BEFORE Bush took off, that means it continued when he was in office. Maybe that was just clusmy wording, but thats how I read it.

I'm proud to say, that in Maryland, with Parris N. Glendenning, Democrat, Governor, the state passed the first comprehensive bill aimed at making handguns safer: in 2003, ALL handguns sold in the State of Maryland must be equipped with a built in trigger lock.
