Can't we throw them both in the muck and draw two to try for a winning hand?

lol don't I wish Shade! To bad its a hold em game, not draw.

Alex, I'm not sure what data you're looking at but I don't think jobs are on a huge rise. Created jobs are still slow in the coming. The unemployment rate is down because people stopped looking for work, not because of new job growth. In fact, if Bush had lost the election he would have been the first president since the depression to lose jobs while in office. Over 1,000,000 jobs have been outsorced overseas since he was appointed president in 2000. But other than that you're right, it doesn't matter. I feel bad for my gay friends because (other than here in MA) they will be descriminated against; and I REALLY hope my gf doesn't get pregnant in the next few years because with Bush being able to appoint 2 or 3 new supream court justices they will probably overtuen Row v Wade and make abortion illegal again. I'm not even saying I'd want to go that route, I just want her to have the choice available.

And the solution to the Iraq problem isn't less troops, its MORE. There aren't enough of them there to secure much territory at all, thats why we keep getting picked off 3 or 8 at a time. If we hade 500,000 more guys in there it would be a lot harder and we'd see a lot more of those psycho "insurgence" arrested and killed. I don't think we should really be there, but since we are, why half ass it?

+_+;; bush fightign~

Well, here is my two cents. I can verify that the job market has sucked as I have been watching it very closely for the last two years. I graduate in December and if not for having been in school for the last 18 years, I would go straight into a masters program. Four more years of Bush and I might be asking if you would like that with fries.

A good friend of mine is being shipped to Iraq soon. He said he is 'lucky' that he will be here until after Christmas. It would be different if the cause was right, but we have been lied to and then not apologized to. If we had just cause to go in and free the people, hell sign me up, but this is not right. I agree that since we are there, they need our support and all the help they should get.

Finally my girlfriend's Dad will likely loose his job of 30 years sometime during this term. He works with mentally handicapped children and his program's budget has been shrinking rapidly over the last few years.

It is quite sad that Kerry was the best the Dems could come up with.

Kerry makes a decent Senator but wouldn't make a good president. I am still a big Howard Dean fan and its too bad he likes to scream. If not for that I bet he'd be in the whitehouse come Jan. His message is much more simple so the average American can understand it, thats easily a 5,000,000 vote swing. Dean shot himself in the foot and Kerry was the default backup guy. It was really a 3 man race from the get go between those two and Edwards. And Edwards is a first tirm Senator he has no experience. Its like starting a rookie QB in the superbowl after he played in 1 game in his entire carreer. Not a good idea. Kerry was the best the dems had like Dole was the best the GOP had in '96. Sort of a default guy. Nothing special, not good enough to overcome the incumbant.

One final note, its a damn shame Kerry contradicted himself in public so often. His voting record is pretty straight forward. Very few times has he "flip flopped" on an issue. Just for some reason he took both sides of an issue a bunch of times in public.
