"ArtKramr" wrote in message ... ubject: PROOF THAT NEOCONS ARE STUPID From: Dweezil Dwarftosser Date: 9/14/2004 10:07 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: ArtKramr wrote: Martin? Isn't that the son of a bitch that built the B-26 Marauder?. That plane damn near killed all of us before we even got to the ETO. The Baltimore Whore, The B dash Crash, the flying coffin, the one a day in tampa bay and the widowmaker.Be glad you never served in one. Just FYI, Art: they were still using that "one a day in Tampa Bay" line in 1969 at MacDill - except the planes were by then F-4Es of a Replacement Training Unit for the Vietnam war. There was nothing defective about the aircraft or the maintenance, either; it was the inexperienced drivers that put 'em there. Is that from the 1,000 houirs you flew the B-26? So, Art, how many hours do you have as a B-26 pilot? Whats that? Zero? Oh yeah, you were just the bombadier, not the pilot. |

Because the supreme court elected him, Remember the other guy had more people vote for him That will never be forgotten What Art has forgotten is that the President isn't elected by popular vote. Perhaps he needs to go back and read the Constitution. This is the same constitution that as originally written counted a slave as 3/5th of a man and didn't allow women to vote. Actually, if you read it, you will find that there is NOTHING in the Constitution that disallows women the vote. That was based on other laws, but not the Constitution. We now have a system where the candidates only care about votes in 14 of 50 states. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA???? Then change it. |

Because the supreme court elected him, Ah, another person who wasn't paying attention to the US and Florida Supreme Court decisions. Read up on it and come back. You notice that no supreme court justice has retired during this particular presidential term? There is a reason for that. And? Remember the other guy had more people vote for him Umm, the President isn't elected by popular vote. Go read the Constitution and come back. What? Not finished reading it yet? |

Which was exactly the point I tried to make to ART. Believe me, I know how
the President is elected. Jack G. "Kevin Brooks" wrote in message ... "Jack G" wrote in message news:dA02d.6092$MS1.2252@trnddc02... I never mentioned Electoral votes in my post. The topic of Art's post was the popular vote. Then you are wasting your breath--the nationwide popular vote does not mean squat. Brooks Jack G. "Kevin Brooks" wrote in message ... "Jack G" wrote in message news:h302d.8184$5t4.4608@trnddc01... From http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm Popular Vote: Bush: 50,456,002 47.87% Go 50,999,897 48.38% Looks like more to me! Uhmmm...I believe his point is in regards to the votes that actually count--the Electoral College ones. ISTR Bush got more of those? Brooks Jack G. "Leslie Swartz" wrote in message ... Do your homework. "Jack G" wrote in message news:FVO1d.3647$g9.70@trnddc06... Art, can you name the other presidents who were elected with less than a majority of the popular vote? Or have you forgotten them? Jack G. |

"Leadfoot" wrote We now have a system where the candidates only care about votes in 14 of 50 states. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA???? A straight popular vote would have the candidates only care about 3 *cities*. NYC, Chicago, and LA The metro areas of those cities comprise ~40 million people. Equal to the 23 smallest states. Is THAT a good idea? Pete |

You won't hear much about this factoid on the mainstream media, however, given that the last president to get a popular majority was Ronald Reagan--twice. I used to whisper to my wife (you have to whisper about such things when you live in a university town): "How come Reagan keeps getting elected if we're the only people voting for him?" all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com Expedition sailboat charters www.expeditionsail.com |
