I'm a pretty normal guy. Come from a pretty normal family. Have pretty regular friends. We all do have jobs and are God-fearing, though.

Anyway, we connect well with GW>

W grew up in great wealth, was educated at Phillips and Yale, and has never had a job in his life.
He has as much in common with you as a Mexican illegal working at Wal Mart.
To think there's a connection is a television-bred fantasy.

Ivins just published a column in the Fort Worth Star Telegram stating that she thinks Howard Dean is "a winner" and will win the 2004 election. She also stated that Dennis Kucinich is "noble".

Here's the letter I sent in to them about her column.

"Dear Star Telegram:

If Molly Ivins thinks Howard Dean is a "winner" and that Dennis Kucinich is "noble", she's dumber than I thought and I already thought she was pretty damn dumb.

Dean is a mean, nasty piece of work and Kucinich is a weirdo fruitcake and we all know what everyone really thinks of fruitcakes don't we? That's why they're collecting dust in the back of our closets.

Her beliefs and bizarre statements are further proof that the paranoid, extreme left wing Democrats are detached from reality."

That ought to fix em. I know they publish Ivins drivel just to aggravate me personally.

All I had to see was the source and of course Molly Ivins to scroll by the article

Molly, Molly, Molly....your acid tongue and vicious attitude are making you look really, really, really, really old......

Whatever Molly, or a hillary or deanie weenie, posting from the basement of the DNC.

Can you believe this Sheila Samples was a public information Officer in the U.S.Army? I wonder what she thinks of Russia's flat tax, and capitalistic policies that are reviving the country?

[Howlin]

Well, she believes Pravda is a really good paper; that should be a clue.......LOL.

[Steel Wolf]

Once again, Bush is painted as an ignorant rube, yet no explination is given as to why said rube continues to outwit the smartest Democrats around.

LOL! And they say WE are mean-spirited!

My favorite trouble maker.... How are you?

[marvlus]

Ol' Molly baby just doesn't get it. Another lib getting shot in the foot.

[medscribe]

I see the hefer from cow town is at it again. If Ivins would care a bit less about bashing Bush and a bit more about not stuffing her face each day, she might trim down and not look so much like the Grand Champion steer at the Houston Livestock show and Rodeo.

[Kaslin]

What an ugly *itch

[warchild9]

Bots have eaten the blue pill. Molly Ivens is a detestoid, though.

Whatever Neo.

Good as can be.

[Southack]

It's always entertaining to watch desperate leftists churn out the red meat for their feckless supporters, but this article is so rotten that it almost spoils the fun.

Charitably, I suppose that this article is just more boring bashing of Bush, and that Molly really doesn't use such nonsense in her own personal evaluation of our President.

For if she does take her own words seriously, then she and anyone who is suckered by her will be unpleasantly surprised time and again by a President who is compassionate, smart, and deceptively aggressive.

I do NOT want a leader who know "what it's like to be poor".....I want someone who knows how to help people be NON-POOR (and that ain't by emulating or knowing the "poor." Most Poor people are poor, USUALLY because they have POOR HABITS.
