The fact England owes me reparations money as nothing to do with me
electing a nincompoop. I elected a nincompoop becuase he was the
lesser of two evils.

"She was an elderly, high pooped, French East Indiaman of 900 tons"

Probably a typo... the poster probably meant to say "psyche.." A
rather old cliché meaning "got ya"
Or I could just be talking out my butt (a more likely scenario...)
Even though I am registered as a Republican, I voted for Gore as the
least-worst candidate. However, since I live in Florida, I have no
idea whose pile my vote ended up in.
I've been doing a lot of that least-worst voting lately. I can't
remember voting for a candidate because I was completely in favor of
the candidate.

Follow my procedure and increase your odds of being right. I'm
registered as a Whig and always vote for the candidate with the longest
hair (-unless it's Hillary).

Virtually all issues can be handed betted by state and local
governments than they can by a larger federal government. State and
local governments know the people and specific things that make their
local population different than say the population in a state 2,000
miles away.
The federal government is a one size fits all solution. That can
never work. The federal government has one primary duty. To protect
us. State and local governments can handle everything else more
efficiently and with greater compassion, as they know the people.
Take my 38%. Fine, that is what I pay to live here. But to spend it
wisely, it will take the state and local governments.

I registered as a Republican back in the days when the Republicans
seemed to be the better choice. I remain registered as a Republican
because that gives me two votes against the Religious Right
candidates; I can vote for their opponent in the Primary, and vote for
their opponent in the General Election.
Oh, here we go: the typical newsgroup
answering-a-question-with-another-question thing.

dorayme said:That's what I mean! While the most terrible things are going on
in Iraq and other places, you are worried about various sizes of
US govts and them putting their hands in your pocket...
From: Travis Newbury said:Hmmm... Unfortunataly I can not debate you because your entire
argumnet is based on a wrong assumption about what I believe. And to
debate you would force me to take a side I don't believe is right.
dorayme said:Maybe. But doubtless much influenced by you voting for Bush, I
fancied I read between some of your lines accurately... It just
seemed to me that when Americans had seen this idiot in action
for 4 years, they would have tossed him out on his ears...
From: "Travis Newbury said:Well apparently his views are more in line with American views than
with your views.
leaders too. They are all professional. And that is what is huring
the world right now.

toady sneeky cunning smart sob with some not very admirable
policies.
