Take a trip to Winstead, CT and ask about Ralph Nader.

Report back when you are finished.

If you leave alive and not dismembered by the irate citizens of their
fair city when rendering their opinions on Raplhie boy. :)

Tom, if Nader screws the Democrat pooch, then he's my man - regardless of
the folks in Winstead!

Hey - I'm just sayin'... :)

Nader isn't going to have any imact on this election except for taking
out the fringe element and there is always that .00001% who will vote
for the fringe candidate.

Yeah, you were just sayin' !

Let's just hope your decimal is in the wrong place.

What was your class standing at the Naval Academy?

Mine or Tom's?

If I had wanted to attend it would have been a formality. Having a father
and two war hero grandfathers I would have gotten in easily.

I decided that I would rather go my own way in life.

The rough guesstimate of an undecided independent:

McCain: Most "presidential" of the batch, has an encouraging history
of not automatically toeing the party line. Represents "politics as
usual", but with a guy at the helm a bit more independent than the
current prez and less susceptible to being manipulated by his
advisors.
************************

Most presidential????
Have you forgotten about the Keating Five?????
McCain considered Keating a friend - in the best republican
tradition....

No I haven't forgotten about the Keating Five. McCain's involvement
was
peripheral.

Yes, of the three candidates still effectively standing John McCain
appears to be the most presidential at this time. Doesn't make him the
most presidential person in the country, merely the most presidential
of the three.

Hillary is damaging herself, badly, with this week's attacks on Obama.
She can be such a jerk. The attacks of course say much more about what
sort of person she is than what sort of person Obama might be.
She represents the same old corrupted, sold out, traditional political
game playing we have endured for the last couple of decades. No change
of course with her at all, just a change in party and gender.

Obama is mesmerizing his audiences with rhetoric. He's one of the best
orators to trek down the presidential trail in quite a while, IMO
surpassing even BJ Clinton in this respect. But once he gets our
attention with a brilliantly orchestrated fanfare, what's next? Oh,
look- yet another fanfare! Obama needs to find the courage to take a
stand on more issues.

It's hard to pick an outstanding candidate from among the three- but
anything will be better than what we have endured for the last 7
years.
About 70% of the country is eager to see GWB retire to Crawford.

Obama and McCain are two of the best choices we have had in a long time.
Hillary is be a disaster. I can't believe no one in the press has made an
issue of Bill selling pardons. I can just imagine how many pardons
Hillary could sell with Bill selling them over the internet.



LOL have you forgotten about the pardon king, GH Bush? He pardoned more
people and people that may have been involved in TREASON! Of course we
will never know because they shredded evrything and cleaned their tracks in
a very professional manner.

You've got to love that word 'may'. It seems to be the cornerstone of
liberal journalism.

Clinton 'may' have invited Osama to attack the World Trade Center, and
'may' have assisted the enrollment of the extremists in pilot schools.

On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of
FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs
in the United States mostly in New York City and Chicago, convicted
for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well
as for firearms and explosives violations. Congress condemned the
action, with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate and 311-41 in the House.
President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn
over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer
clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.

Let's see - Libby or FALN terrorists?

I think I'll take Libby.

Libby? *I
was thinking of those Iran-Contra Traitors!

Myra Soble ( Conspiracy to receive and obtain national defense information


Not to be comfusing, but arn't you talking about Jack and Myra from
back in the late 50's?

Focus on the present and the future......otherwise you are nothing more than
sour grapes and meaningless.

Pardons are pardons...........regardless who offers them......they are
normally wrong.

Got it?

No, I don't "Got it"
