m But don't let intelligence or logic, pry you away from your blissful ignorance. It's interesting that the vast majority of the people I hear use this line (and similar bumper stickers like "Think: It's patriotic.") are quite liberal. As if they're the only ones capable of reason and logic and challenging assumptions. Like oil. It would have been far, far cheaper for us to simply buy the oil from the "oil for food" program than to invade Iraq if oil were our goal. For that matter, why not Venezuela? If oil were the goal, Venezuela is *much* closer to the US and has a less imposing military. *Think* for a moment and tell me it's logical for us to invade a hostile country half a globe away for oil when we have oil exporters in our own hemisphere. No, it sounds Moore like you're toeing the party line. I hope one day, people like you will learn to challenge and learn more about what they are told as fact FROM ANY SOURCE,,, then we will REALLY have a great Nation. Well, at least we can agree that voters should be educated on the issues and not just follow the party line. A mind is truly a terrible thing to waste.......... You just had to throw in that elitist attitude again. Just when you were showing some reason, too. Your guy lost. By a significant margin. Get over it and go flying. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

I'm the original poster and I approve this response.
"Cecil Chapman" wrote in message m... freaks...... See this is what I mean about people like yourself,,, they don't see the connections between their own observations. No, I just don't see them the same way you do. You can SCREAM in capital letters all you want and decide that I'm suffering from a terminal case of cognitive dissonance, but that's not a very mature response, now is it? Perhaps Republicans in Utah are just as touchy as liberals in Cambridge and Berkeley. All that ideological conformity makes these places into ideological veal pens. God forbid you ever have to venture outside that bubble. Just like David Brooks, who decided he can't even deal with being in the presence of people who voted for Bush. Best, -cwk. |

IMO the election was a contest between the people pulling the wagon and the people riding in the wagon. Mebbe. Mebbe not. Here's a thought. No doubt many of the people who voted for Dubya feel strongly about government workers, among other issues. No increase in government! It's full of incompetents and bozos who never get rated on their real performance, but just get raises anyway. Or get re-elected. Dubya--the epitome of everything wrong with the Government Employee. |

I'm not sure I agree... I think Gephardt lost out because of nothing
short of a lack of charisma. I don't think people were paying that much When Gephardt and Lieberman and other Democrats who are toward the central of the political spectrum "dropped" out, there was a feeling the GWB was unbeatable. When they dropped by the wayside, further left of center to dominate the selection process. Unfortunately / fortunately depending on one's political perspective, the DNC has not put forward a candidate who could pull voters from the center and right of center except for Kennedy and Clinton. Dukas was a "old style" Eastern Liberal. Gore was an "heir apparent" because he serviced with Clinton but move to the left of center during the campaign and lost the center votes he needed. No party can win the poplar vote unless they can pull voters from the other side of center from their base. Be too far to the extremes of the spectrum and they loose the cross over vote. |

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. Snip What prompted this outburst? Temper tantrum. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The democrats here couldn't get elected as republicans in Pennsylvania. They'd be too far to the right. I've lived in PA all my life, but it is becoming such a liberal cesspool that I may have to retire elsewehere. A Wyoming address would be good and even more conservative than here. No taxes. Why are all of the conservatives states in places that are cold in the winter? My grandfather always said that the cold winters "kept the riff-raff out" and I'm beginning to think he was right. :-) Matt Seems half a dozen or so southern states went republican big time yesterday. Seems the heat is keeping the riff-raff out also. |
