The main rule of politics… Darks colours scare people.

>>OK, much clearer now.

That’s pretty much it, qsabe. I guess we know whom Mr. Dvorak is voting for in November.

Both choices stink. Stink really bad.

Very well said!!

The unfortunate bit is that people in this nation founded on separation of church and state really do care how good a christian their elected officials are. I’d welcome a good god-ignoring nontheist who doesn’t follow a book that says that people should be stoned to death for working on the sabbath or wearing a mix of linen and wool, or any of the many death penalty specifications of the bible, but that’s just me.

Oh well. I guess we need to change rather a lot as a nation before atheists gain the level of respect that the LBGT community has worked admirably to achieve.

You should read #50′s final line.

He’s a real Henry Clay he is!

I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

·If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re “exotic, different.”

·Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you re a quintessential American story.

·If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

·Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

·Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

·Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

·If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

·If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive.

·If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

·If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.

·If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

·If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

·If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America’s.

·If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now.

Unless they are the GOP and George Bush, making up bad stuff about the Democrats. Bush’s camp got away with smearing Kerry. And he got chosen by the GOP by smearing his rivals. Very little fact checking seems to hinder the GOP’s scandal machine. And most voters are stupid enough to base their choice on the shakiest of lies, by either side.

But like I’ve said before. It’s not like it’s going to matter who’s in charge. Do you really think trillions of dollars of GDP are put at risk, by what the general public decides? Yeah, sure! The contest is just to keep us believen it does.
