... Whereas I think sometimes politicians, even Bush, will do something because they think it is the right thing to do. You are welcome to your *opinion*. You should leave "QED" out of it, as that implies you are stating a fact. |

OF course, for me, her greatest qualifiaction is that Democrats are scared
sh*tless of her. Hee hee! I wasn't with you, Don, until the very end. NOW I get it! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"David Dyer-Bennet" wrote in message ... [Nice example of post-modernism follows] No, he insisted that the person questioning him define what he meant by his question, and then answered the precise question asked. Care to quote the exchange? Which is what anybody with two brain-cells to rub together would do in that situation -- say as little as you can possibly get away with. Just they type we want with all that power. Lie, steal and cheat. How many million dollars wasted harassing the Clintons about various real estate and options transactions, without finding *one single thing* to even charge them with? (And never mind the chances of *convicting*; they didn't even find enough to file charges.) Oh, they found plenty to charge him and her with. Martha Stewart is looking at ten years in jail for MUCH LESS than Hillary got with her cattle futures alone. All over less money that Haliburton pocketed from *one* bridge repair job in Iraq, where they were awarded the contract on a 50 million dollar bid -- in preference to a 5 million dollar bid from the local company who had repaired that exact bridge the last time we blew it up. David, you integrity is absolutely pathetic. |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:UIPyb.386940$Fm2.398013@attbi_s04... I think dubya knows he's in trouble in the polls. If he were not having poll trouble, he would not have made the trip. If this were his second term, he would not have made the trip. Really? It was just on NPR that if the election were held today, not only would GW take Florida "cleanly", but he'd win the election nationally. This poll data puts him against any Democrat currently running. The polls right now are about where Reagan was in 1984 when he cleaned Mondale's clock and Mondale only carried DC and his home state of Minnesota (which he only took by about 5000 votes....about .02% margin. |

And do you really believe that Dubya is an honest man?
I have seen nothing to indicate otherwise. I may not agree with everything he does, but he appears to be honestly driven by his convictions to do what he does. And, say what you will -- I'll take THAT over a poll-driven president, any day. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:yzPyb.384086$Tr4.1121415@attbi_s03... break the code. :-( How? By shutting down their access to oil and other resources. ??? What does that mean? Who is "their"? Japan's. During the 30's, the Dutch East Indies (IIRC) was the main source of oil and other resources (Japan had about as many local resources as they do now.) They were essentially "shut out". Ah, you mean the Japanese diplomatic code. There were good retaliatory reasons we cut off their oil and other resources, but that's neither here nor there. It's exactly HERE. I thought maybe you were talking up some secret "revisionist historian code", or something! :-) No, it's part of history, even if ignored my many in the mainstream. A history text can only cover so much; what's important is that crucial issues be covered, not whitewashed. A good example from last week was the 40th Anniversary of JFK's assassination. What's conveniently left out is that JFK's approval numbers were below 30% and it was likely he was going to be a one-termer. Legend has it that it was the reason LBJ "intervened"; he did not want to go down in flames, never to run again. |

If that truly becomes the case, I will seriously consider moving to Canada.

And he's still got a year to go. Wishful thinking on your part. Third year of first term poll numbers are always low for the President. They were for Clinton as well, in fact, they were much worse for him than Bush's are now. Right now, people are mentally comparing Bush to some ideal "West Wing" sort of Presidency in their minds. When he is compared to a real Democrat Dwarf next year, that will not be the case. Failing some catastrophe in the economy, get used to GWB till 2008, then Rice for the next 8. -- Wm.

And, say what you will -- I'll take THAT over a poll-driven president, any day. I always feel actions speak louder than words, he doesn't quite get that.
