I voted for Bush before I voted against John Kerry. Mayor Daley, that you? |

"Cecil Chapman" wrote in message m... Stupidly, they nominated a guy whose political positions were to the left of Ted Kennedy's, absolutely ensuring a Bush victory. There were many traditional Republicans out here -- myself included -- who would have voted for a conservative Democrat in this election. But there was just no way for any of us to vote for a guy like Kerry. The moral for the Democrats: Don't ever nominate an ultra liberal to run for president again. I have often wondered how some people come to the conclusions that they do. Jay,,, for goodness sake you sound like you are a sock-puppet mouthing the words of his puppeteer (Bush - who was famous for the 'Kerry's just like T. Kennedy' line). Kerry was far left? How, where? If anything he was as centrist as Clinton was. You'd think he belonged to the Communist party to hear the prattle that is coming off of your tongue. Even democrats describe Kerry as being left of T. Kennedy. It's pretty lonely that far out. |

Cecil, I suggest you read the legislation.
I have a simple .22 rifle. By using a 6" dowel rod, some duct tape, and the cardboard tube from the center of a roll of toilet paper, I can make it into a dreaded "assault rifle" of the type addressed in the law that just expired. You really should read the law itself, instead of what the Brady people are saying about it. Cecil Chapman wrote: He's opposed to private ownership of any firearm except shotguns plugged to three shells. And just where in the Constitution exactly is hunting mentioned? He prattles about "military-style assault weapons" while trying to ban semi-automatics, knowing full well that no military-style assault weapon is semi-automatic. Have you actually read his voting record and what types of weapons each respective legislation was referring to? Evidently, not! |

I agree with you there, but it's my belief that Bush was ideologically vulnerable, and that a guy closer to the center (ala Gebhardt) would have at least grabbed enough of the popular vote (and people like me, who weren't 100% enthused with Bush) to have tipped the scales his way. I agree, but Gebhardt was never gonna be the answer. He's way too boring. He has no carisma. There was no way he would have been able to win. The Democrats simply have to figure out a way to select their nominees better, if they ever want to win the presidency. They've got to find someone who hones closer to the beliefs of mainstream America, without alienating their huge (and incredibly vocal) left wing. The Republicans have figured this out -- I'm surprised the Democrats haven't. The problem is that the "Party" (ie, the party leadership) doesn't neccessarily pick the nominee. A group of individuals decide to run, and then the primaries pick the nominee. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com |

If you apply any intellectual honesty to the campaign rhetoric out of
the Kerry/Edwards duo you would certainly conclude that the facts were not in total alignment. No matter how you slice it however, the endless litany of complaints, criticisms and Monday morning quarterbacking that cam out of Kerry's mouth is what turned a lot of people off. Anybody can bitch about stuff. Kerry had 20 years in the senate to do some constructive things what the hell was he doing all that time (besides wind-surfing and playing golf).

As someone who also voted for Kerry (not with much enthusiasm, though) my I add
my comment, "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out." What a bunch of baby boy crap to post on an IFR flying forum. David Brooks wrote: One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my undying enmity by unapologetically using the term "Final Solution" in connection with me and people like me, an astonishing thought coming from an avowedly religious man, but telling and apt. But now it seems the nation has, albeit by a slim margin, re-elected a weak, hypocritical, murderous coward. Three years ago, when some writers on the left started talking about fascism, I thought that an absurd stretch. No longer. The parallels are not precise - they never are - but the broad sweep and many of the components of a new fascist state are in place. The 48% who didn't vote for this disaster keep knocking on my consciousness, but they are now feeble and impotent. The thugs are in charge. That being so, and despite what should be an apolitical setting, I can no longer in good faith keep company with a group of which the majority, I know, has elected to deliver the country I love, and chose as my home, into the hands of Bush and his repressive, regressive masters. So long. Thanks for all the conversations. You guys have made me a better pilot. -- David Brooks |
