FOFLOL!

[Fledermaus]

If the Dems were really that fired up, then why are they not voting in the primaries? So for this cycle, except for NH, they've had less turnout for their primaries than in 2000 and many of those voting in their primaries, in open states, are from Republicans and Independents tweaking their process with votes for Edwards, Dean or Clark.

No, the usual squeaky wheels are fired up.

They are wearing blinders that only allow them to focus on one issue. They say they won't vote for a candidate who disagrees with them on one single issue even though he agrees with them on every other issue. It's utterly self-defeating.

It's called having dementia, mental illness. It is a real, serious inability to understand and live in the real world, so they resort to living in a fantasy, delusional world.

There's not a dime's worth of difference between those on the left who spout stuff like "Bush planned 911" and those on the right who say things like "Bush is no different than Clinton, I'm not going to vote for him...".

Mike is one of the good guys- back in the Dark Ages of computing ( 1990's, DOS 6.22, pre Web ) I listened to "the poor man's Internet," talk radio- a lot, and he was in the 6:00P PM to 9:00 PM time slot here. I always enjoyed his program.

Go to your room. :)

I think I agree with you. The liberals are "fired" up about one candidate or the other in the primaries. Kerry is now regarded as the "electable" one but so was Clark, then Dean, then Edwards. Dean supporters are already moving to Nader and Clarkies are just sullen. The democrats are so damned mad they are not making rational choices.

Then how about "The KY Conservatives", for those who will bend over and take anything?

I hope you have a 2-ton supply of that stuff. Kerry and the Clintons surely have a lot in store for you that may smart a bit. Too bad you insist on loosing the communists on your fellow Americans, though.

[Texasforever]

Yeah I have been a baaaad boy. I think I will send myself to bed.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Hey, 'maus! Just about to wander off towards the stationary bicycle! Have a good night, pal! :)

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

'Night, TF! :)

"Democrats in Congress have so regulated American companies that the cost of doing business has risen. That’s due to the unions and government regulations that have become so prohibitive"

This statement is the KEY to outsourcing. Whenever anybody moans about jobs being lost - there is your answer.

[Fledermaus]

Peddle away buddy! Later.

Can you point me to some documentation on this - I hope you're right. It does not match what the media, including Fox, seem to be saying.

Do you remember the Bill Cosby routine, "Toss of the Coin?"

Call the Toss, Cus!

[Prodigal Son]

The Custer Conservatives. I like it.

Then how about "The KY Conservatives", for those who will bend over and take anything?

LOL, well, just keep in mind why the ground was all white at the Little Bighorn after Custer's Last Stand and also remember, the Democrats will use that KY Jelly too.

[Tempest]

Conservatives that stay home on election day or run to a dead party errrr. I mean 3rd party. Deserve every bit of annoyance and agony in which a president Kerry puts the through.

And I don't want to hear any kavetchin about it. But ou get the goverment you most deserve.

[Tamzee]

Yep... it definitely has a ring to it :-)

[Fledermaus]

I stand corrected.

From my quick search, the turnout of 2004 is higher in the Dem primaries. I should have known this from the fact Gore was a runaway to begin with in 2000.

I remember reading something about lower enthusism and must have mixed the reason.
