Have you ever been to Brazil, cowboy? It ain't all it's cracked up to
be. They use alchohol for fuel, yes, but you can't breathe the air.
Rio and San Paulo both have so much foul air that it makes your throat
hurt and your eyes water and sting. Besides, there ain't enough corn
in all of the earth to keep us going.


If the Dems win in 08, and I hope they do, you will see the tax cuts
cancelled and new taxes across the board. Inflation will go up (and
that is the worse tax for someone on a fixed income - read poor folks)
and the economy will crumble. But fear not. You'll blame that on
Bush.

That sounds exactly like what the wingnuts were saying when Clinton was
elected in 1992 and he raised taxes. The actual result, as we now know,
was eight years of nearly zero inflation, the largest economic expansion
in history, and budget surpluses.

I support an increase in the income tax rates, and specifically a
roll-back of the Bush tax cuts that went overwhelmingly to the wealthy.
I believe that we should balance the federal budget and not finance huge
debt by borrowing from the Chinese, among others. I believe we have to
start living within our means and stop pushing the ruinous consequences
of lavish spending on to our children.


If you continue to run bozos like Kerry and Gore, you will *never* win
the WH.

I'd like to remind you that Gore WON the popular vote in 2000, and the
vote in 2004 was Bush 50.7%, Kerry 48.3% -- a very close election. A few
thousand votes in Ohio would have given Kerry the electoral-vote win.
(And BTW, when are we going to fix this stupid, antiquated electoral
college system?)

And if by chance they *do* win, God help us.

You just wrote above that you HOPE the Democrats win in 2008. Why do you
hate America?

LOL. I hate YOUR part of America. America will survive regarless who
is in office, but it will be such fun to watch the dems destroy a good
economy that started way back with Reagan and has lasted all these
years with a dip or two along the way. I remember the Carter years
(made a helluva lot of money in the money market btw), and I don't
want to return to those days.

You can say what you want to about Bush and I would probably agree
with much of it, but he is an attack dog, and that is what we need,
not a French Poodle like Kerry. Who don't need anyone who will govern
by consensus. You and others in this nuthouse have said that the
American voter is a fool and idiot. Well, guess what? They are the
ones who would be the consensus.

BTW, the Electoral College has worked for more than 200 years. If the
shoe was on the other foot, YOU would be defending it. d;o)
