What a missed opportunity.
MEANWHILE, the Dems think Caroline "You Know" Kennedy would
make a
wonderful senator because her last name is Kennedy. "You Know"
has
never actually held a paying job and has no political
experience but
Dems think she is well qualified. They also think a woman who
was
mayor of a town and is Governor of a state and ran a business
is not
qualified. What does this say about the judgement of Dems?
Obviously, Dems no longer believe in the power of common people
as
they can only get excited about the divine rights of royalty
and the
rich to run things.
Well, Caroline Kennedy isn't the star her daddy was, but I have
no
doubts she is smarter than Mrs. Palin, who most certainly is not
qualified for high political office.
She's a great talker!

I'm sure her handlers can hire someone to help her with that bad
habit.
The question is...can she be effective in politics. I'd rather
vote
for her than some sleazy crook
Do you know anything about her grandfather? He was a sleazy crook.
Oh, well, gee, that does it.
Everone knows Joe Kennedy Sr. made his money as a rum runner in the
20's, running alcohol from Canada to the USA.
What? How awful! I wonder if he made as much money as the corporate
crooks who have been looting Wall Street the last few years? :)
Idividually? or collectivly?

Probably more, that is if you adjust for inflation from the 20's until
the 90's or so.

Well, good. At least it was honest, hard work, and provided something
useful.

Which part was honest work? It made a huge part of his fortune, as a
stock speculator and manipulator. He forecast the '28 crash and exited
with lots of money before the crash. Was a smart crook. Too bad Teddy
did not get any brains.


Teddy probably is the best and most respected legislator in the U.S.
Senate, and on both sides, dimwit. You ought to expand your reading beyond
right-wing-crap comic book sites and reich-wing radio.

Ted is still stupid. They kiss up as senority adds to power.

Your loss. Reggie is one of the good guys. Posting under your own name puts
no feathers in your bonnet, and it provides no incentive for better
behavior. Look and Don White and Harry Krause for examples of that. You'll
not find Reggie stooping to the name-calling and personal insults that
Krause, et al, employ.

But, do as you wish.

Harry's response to your post is another example of the fine behavior
induced by using a 'real name'.

Here's another great example of exemplary behavior:

There is nothing to hate, but that doesn't prevent haters from hating.
Actually, I think it is jealousy.

Everyone here knows my real name and I sometimes post with it or my
initials. "Reggie" and several others are cowards. They come here to
harass other posters, and use aliases so as to avoid someone coming to
their house and punching them in the nose.

They'll claim they post using handles for "other reasons," but that is
not true.

They're cowards, ill-mannered ones at that.


So you don't mind if someone knows your real address and phone number?

Or are you a ill-mannered coward?

If you'd like, you could send a post card or make a phone call to Harry to
suggest he stop the name-calling.

I know of no posters here who hate either Canada or Canadians. I've got
some great Canadian friends, and have found all I've met to be great
people. I've worked with soldiers from the Canadian Brigade stationed in
Germany in the late '80s. Great people.

I know of one with whom I wouldn't care to associate. He is a minion of
Harry's who goes by Don White. He's definitely not representative of
Canadians.

He may have been talking about Tom the space man who always blames
everything on Canada... But if you pay attention he is just kidding,
he even sold a great boat to Donnie last year, it's just a joke..

Don't know if you read me or not but I don't post under my real name.
No other reason however than I like to use throw away emails here so
my real email doesn't get so flooded. I have had it since.... Geeze,
maybe 1990 or so and it tends to get flooded with a lot of spam....
Either way, I am easy to find, I am Scotty from Smallboats.com... if
it matters my last name is Ingersoll.. There, hope that helps..

Does Krause need a refresher course on how he became the ranking coward
of rec.boats?

Harry has no problem with his name, address and phone number being
published in rec.boats, because he is not a coward.
