I forgot you were newbies to this group. 20 years active army complete with
CIB, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Master Parachutist Wings, Ranger Tab and a
graduate of the John Wayne School for Boys in Fort Bragg NC. And we tell all
'leg's anything we want to tell them, if we even bother to talk to them. Now
I work on Navy frieghters hauling neat stuff back and forth to the Persian
Gulf amongst other places. On the sailing side I'm both a single hander and
a square rigger sailer. In other words at the top of the pecking order in
that area too.

I'm a union delegate (shop steward) for Sailors Union of the Pacific and we
aren't stupid enough to **** away our union like the ATC did. Our
membership, unlike many, is comprised of people who think for themselves.
We know there's more money to be made and less taxes to be paid under a Bush
than under a Gore and it's a lot safer than under a Clinton.

But one thing I do love about the Demo's. Their women are 'EASY'! Find one
that voted for Bubba twice and still think he's the best thing since popcorn
and all that's left is a medical evaluation.

That's my Libertarian view on things.

Hey where's Neal? Haven't seen a thing from him in these few days I've been
back. Damn did he go off to the Bahamas again? Do I have to carry the load
by myself? This is supposed to be a vacation.

OK . . .sigh .. .here goes.

Respectfully,

I don't do it as well as Neal but then . . .no one does.

so you are an air trarric controller? Oh wait, I forgot, they were the
only
union to endorse Regan, and look what he did to them. You had better
preach
to your union brothers and sisters if that is the vote you expect. A man
with 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver star can tell Guard any
thing he chooses.

But no one cares about that except the former 'major media, a few
apparatchiks, and some groupie sluts. The only UN approved critieria
was
Iraq had to show they didn't have them. Whether they existed or not is
not
germane. The whole non-issue is 'silly' at best.

Instead let's address serious issues. What about those non-existent
mass
graves in Kosovo? Also the troops in Kosovo want to know, "Is it
Christmas
yet?" Still waiting for an answer to those questions. What WAS the
real
reason for the invasion of that country? The only answers were a) The
President sent them so you have to support the President b) Mass Graves
(never found) and c) to make sure all sides can live together peacefully
(a
complete failure.)

They were also asking when the DNC was going to stop a. disenfranchising
them. and b. insulting them. (a. New Jersey in the Lautenberger
scandal
and Flordia during the last Presidential election comes immediately to
mind.
b. Kerry telling all the reservists and National Guard their service
isn't
worth squat and the eight years of Clintonistas where we learned that NO
military service matters at all.

Come to think of it the DNC better keep disencranchising the military.
The
usual 70% anti Democrat vote of the military is increasing by leaps and
bounds. You see those of us who wore and who wear the uniform have a
real
long, very clear memory; and a lot of scores to settle.

Now on the union side of things I can't speak for all unions but you can
expect my union to vote against Democrats by a 50 to 55 or more margin.
The
days of the unions being able to deliver the vote are . . . . .going
going
. ..almost gone.

And in my home area the blue collar working class of Seattle still talk
about Prince Albert The Man In A Can Who Would Be King and how he
gridlocked
us seven times in two years. Actions speak louder than words.

Have a nice day. I wish the next Prez and Congress could be Libertarian
but
I'll settle for those who support us, not those 'decent, caring' people
who
are still 'spitting in airports'.

Yeah, that and the FACT that Bush lied to the American people and
the rest of the world about WMDs.
