If Gore were President he would have already apologised to the
terrorists
for the second 9-11.

We'll never know, will we?

YOUR GUY WON! GET OVER IT!!!!!!


That's interesting -- usually it's the other way around; "Your guy LOST, get
over it!".


We have, however, been hearing much less of it ever since GW's "amnesty". It
has brought about the analysts who are now showing pretty well that Gore's
550,000 vote "majority" is sullied by somewhere between 2.2 million* and 3.8
million illegal alien votes.

* - based on estimates of usage of other government service by IA's.

You're half right; an exchange rate has little or nothing to do with
ability
to pay, but on the comparative worth of two currencies.

Your rescources describe a symptom as the cause, but it is the failure to
allow imports by both the National Government of Japan and the Japanese
People that is the failure of their reflation plan. If you are going to
loan Yen, then it must be possible allow your borrowerto earn Yen to repay
the loan; otherwise Yen must be purchased for dollars at the end of term and
the borrower is bankrupted.

Nice, but that has virtually NOTHING to do with exchange rates.

Buy Yen with dollars, what happens to exchange rates?

Borrow dollars, sell goods for dollars and pay back dollars is possible.
All the Japanese did in their "reflation" was bankrupt their banks and now
they can't afford to write off all the bad paper.

According to CNN (and numerous other sources), Kerry has been awarded
both
distinctions:
"It was in 1971 that Kerry, then 27, appeared before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to speak out against U.S. policy in Vietnam.

And that testimony is going to be a part of his downfall when it gets
thoroughly analyzed during the later campaign.

Why might that be?

Did you avoid fulfilling your swarn duties to your country?

No, I never had any "swarn" dities to my country . . . Except for paying
taxes, I reckon. I've never avoided them but I damn sure don't like 'em.
Does that count?

So you think avoiding your swarn duties for your country is just a stupid
thing he did and it should be overlooked because he was young?

Yeah, that pretty much states it. He kinda made up for it by serving as
Commander in Chief . . . In my book, anyway.

Are you the same person you were when you were in your teens-twenties? I
damn sure am not. Besides, it not like he took of to Canada.

Sons of people with lots less money suffer much worse fate than being
thought of as young and stupid when they fail to fulfill their swarn
duties to their country.

It's not nice to swarn, by the way.

Even my Republican friends complain that Bush's economic policies are
disasterous.

Rescuing the economy from the collapse of the Clinton bubble has not been easy
but is well underway. We are in, I think, the third consecutive highest growth
quarter in twenty years and the employment rate is over 94% and increasing.

The presidential candidates are desperate to link Iraq and Vietnam because they
know that by summer no amount of rhetoric will be able to mask the strength and
breadth of the economic recovery.

No, Kerry was awarded the Silver Star, and a Bronze Star with
"V" device.

All that said does not equal credibility.

Hell, Hitler had the Iron Cross something or other equivalent to
our Distinguished Service Cross.

Big Whoop!!

I'm sure many U. S. veterans who hold these decorations would be
gratified to see your equating them with Hitler's giving himself the
Iron Cross. No doubt they would enjoy your "big whoop" comment WRT these
honors, as well.

before being elected, Mr. Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans against The
War,
and publicly "threw his medals at the capital building in protest", and
that
now those same supposed medals are prominently displayed on his office
wall
in Washington... hmmmm...

Maybe he threw them right into the window of what would one day become his
very own office! Pure coincidence! It could happen!

At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in
the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The
University of Edinborough) had this to say about "The Fall of The Athenian
Republic" some 2,000 years prior.

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts
from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes
for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose
fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of
history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations
always progressed through the following sequence:

From Bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage."

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul,
Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the most recent
Presidential election:

Population of counties won by:

Gore=127 million

Bush=143 million

Square miles of land won by:

Gore=580,000

Bush=2,2427,000

States won by:

Gore=19

Bush=29

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:

Gore=13.2

Bush=2.1

Professor Olson adds:

"In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned
by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory
encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living
off government welfare..."

Olson believes the U.S. is now somewhere between the "apathy" and
"complacency" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy; with some
40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the
"governmental dependency" phase.

Pass this along.
