Kerry's problem has nothing to do with old fashioned beliefs of
"disgrace", etc. It has everything to do with the fact that most
thinking people can see through the BS and recognize why he said it.
Kerry is unfortunately such an elitist that he thinks nobody is as smart
as he is. His condescending attitude is why he is going to lose.

And folks like you are more comfortable with a down home fool than
someone who knows better.

I predict Bush is going to lose. There is a voter registration uprising
in this country and they're not registering Republican.

Where did I say I was more comfortable with a down home fool? All I
said was that it was all over for Kerry.

There are many stories about evangelical Christian churches conducting voter
registration drives among the membership.
The churches can't instruct the members about the actual choice of candidate,
(without risking loss of tax exempt status) but there's enough nodding,
winking, other little messages sent to get the job done.
Most of these people are very conservative, and would be Bush supporters. To
the dismay of many of the right wing churches, a high percentage of the members
are *already* registered to vote, so the actual
number of new right wing voters is going to be fairly small.

Very interesting theory going around is that this election will be "decided" by
the
20-somethings. Vast numbers of these young people use cell phones, exclusively,
and pollsters are prohibited from calling cell phone prefixes because the
recipient of the call has to pay for the "minutes" used. Since all the old
farts in the country
seem to be split about 50-50, let's see who the kids put into office.

I've got plans for that eventuality. No it doesn't involve explosives.

Get out of all investments, move money offshore and try to keep up with
inflation. Taxes and inflation are going to increase exponentially.

To be fair, it's only going to be 30% Kerry with the cost of energy being
the majority but everyone in this news group blames the president unless he
is a democrat.
