HeHeHe, Yeah, right. You think were gonna fall twice for some ludicrous thing like that. Like last April Fools' Day when you were going to shut down the site because you were tired of Marauders. I know you and I know your smarter than that. Besides who in world would vote against the wishes of 78% of our military.
And this Redskins record is just about as long as the Red Sox's and we all saw what happened to the "curse."

Whatever happens, this will be the most interesting election --- ever.
Ties all over the place, and a slim chance of having Bush/Edward after it's all over (see: electoral college tie).
This is a graduate thesis if I ever saw one. Too bad I didn't take a useless history degree or something. :D
I'm taking the day off to volunteer for my candidate. My Marauder will be hauling folks to the polls. Maybe they'll think I'm secret service.
We should run a poll to see if people think it will all be sorted out Tuesday or later Wednesday, or if even later by courts and recounts and lawsuits (oh my). Maybe a pool for the exact minute a winner is declared. Logan, if yer not too soused how about some fun?
The amount of GAMBLING over all of the possible outcomes (electoral votes, popular vote, even WHEN it's decided) is in record amounts. We don't need to gamble, but it would be cool.

I am thinking of joining the debate/speech team at Riverside. I do have past experience and I've always enjoyed tearing oppone...I mean having fun in a collected debate environment. When a new friend of mine and I were talking to the coach she said, "But Mr. Moore, President Bush loves you!" to which Mr. Moore responded, "No, he doesn't, and there are 4 good reasons why. One I'm a Democrat. Two, I'm a Democrat. Three, I'm a teacher and a Democrat and four, I'm a member of the NEA not the NRA.
To this I asked if I could be a conservative and still join the team. "Yes, I suppose you can still join the team" he said.
(I'm just taking really). But anyways, I was really suprised to find out that our Debate team has only three conservatives! All of them are s, one of them I took home a little late Friday night. There's about to be four conservatives on the team though and still yet, only three will be s.
I should mention, conservative women are really hot! And I don't know what it is about women of foreign mixtures but...that's for another thread another time.:rolleyes:
And given the larger topic here, I don't like Bush a whole lot. He's not the best conservative president we've ever had despite his admirable influential abilities. But Kerry's ideas and policy-making ideas are waaaay to strange.
Then again, I don't think really great men run for presidential office. Maybe next election...or the election after. Sometime soon there's going to be someone that will get over 60% of the voting population to the polls and win in some landslid victory? That would be cool...just for fun. Common...let's have it. Someone to move the American people in extremely emotional ways.
Elections are fun and boring at the same time I guess. It's all about the man who's behind, or will be behind the oval desk. Not what the nation needs. People get excited for a couple of months and then no one cares about politics except for those who have it some how injected in their lifestyle (i.e. politicians, political pundits and speech kids like me)

The Army Times (an independent newspaper) has published a similar number (75-78% supporting President Bush) based on a survey of some 1,800 military members. That number has a margin of error of less that 2%. It was very interesting that there is virtually no difference whatsoever between active, national guard, or reserve troops.

"Terror's bigger than one person and uh, he's just a, he's a, he's a, he's a person who's now been marginalized so I, I don't know where he is, nor do I, you know I just don't spend that much time on him to, hell, even be honest with ya'."
I'm also predicting Bush will concede the victory to Kerry between 10PM, Nov. 2nd and 2AM, Nov. 3rd.

Bush gave me a $300 tax cut and the county raised my property taxes $400 to pay for what the Feds stopped paying for in my county.
But what pi$$es me most is that video those "evangelicals" have been playing at churches showing Bush "praying" on a split screen next to Jesus and the voiceover talking about Bush being "God's man". (!)

In my opinion, they are both idiots.
Bush has an IQ of 91.
Kerry will say and do anything just to get a vote.
However, our economy is sheet, health care is sheet, Bin Laden is still out there, Iraq is a mess.
I think any change is a good change. Too bad John McCain or Rudy Guilanni are not running.
Here is a report on President Bush's IQ -
Report: President Bush Has Lowest IQ of All Presidents of Past 50 Years
If late night TV comedy is an indicator, then there has never been as widespread a perception that a president is not intellectually qualified for the position he holds as there is with President GW Bush.
In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four-month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush.
Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the education community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others.
According to statements in the report, there have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.
The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
** 147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
** 132 Harry Truman (D)
** 122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
** 174 John F. Kennedy (D)
** 126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
** 155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
** 121 Gerald Ford (R)
** 175 James E. Carter (D)
** 105 Ronald Reagan (R)
** 098 George HW Bush (R)
** 182 William J. Clinton (D)
** 091 George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155.
President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126.
No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual IQ, 176.
Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G. W. Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis.
"All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings, so in many ways that made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We had to rely more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."
The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, think-tank includes high-caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist.
This study was commissioned on February 13, 2001, and released on July 9, 2001, to subscribing member universities and organizations within the education community.

Liberals are cool. Conservatives are too stiff and need to pull the sticks out of their a$$es. One thing I can say about Kerry, he can discuss war and the service. He served his country. Bush hid out in a bar for his so-called time in the service. I am not saying that Kerry is the best choice out there, he is better than the dummy we got in there now. For those of you that don't live in Michigan, we have record unemployment right now. Is Bush addressing this? No, he is too busy rebuilding a country that we have no business be in. Everytime I hear this man open his mouth I cringe. He has got to be the dumbest man I have ever seen. And I suppose to believe that the article under his jacket during the debates was a poorly tailored shirt. "GIVE ME A BREAK". How stupid does he really thing we are?

I don't understand...? I thought yawl Texans blindly followed Bush...?
:confused:
I know you work in the IT field just like me...Did you just get outsourced too?
That is what turned me against my previous Republican heritage. Most Ceo's and other corporate officers these days are Republican and they are ruining the lives and careers of people like me.
When I was in Texas earlier this year I noted that school districts and local goverments were broke and going into bankruptcy due to the policies of the Bush governor administration and the gerrymandered Republican controlled Texas legislature. Best of luck to all working Texans. I know you will need it with the hoardes of job-stealing invaders coming from south of the border!
It is almost impossible to get an IT gig in Texas these days unless you're Indian. I guess I beat the odds by getting my short gig there!
My social values remain conservative, but I cannot abide by the economic treason being committed by our corporations and their bought and paid for politicians. I must fight it for my own and well as other American middle class people's survival. Our jobs, our technology, and our future are being stolen from us so that the very few can line their pockets.
Logan, I hope your job is safe.
I am once again looking for my next gig.
I do Mainframe, DB2, PeopleSoft, Oracle, SQL Server, COBOL, Data Warehouse, and other IT work.
Please let me know if you hear of anything.

Liberals are cool. Conservatives are too stiff and need to pull the sticks out of their a$$es. One thing I can say about Kerry, he can discuss war and the service. He served his country. Bush hid out in a bar for his so-called time in the service. I am not saying that Kerry is the best choice out there, he is better than the dummy we got in there now. For those of you that don't live in Michigan, we have record unemployment right now. Is Bush addressing this? No, he is too busy rebuilding a country that we have no business be in. Everytime I hear this man open his mouth I cringe. He has got to be the dumbest man I have ever seen. And I suppose to believe that the article under his jacket during the debates was a poorly tailored shirt. "GIVE ME A BREAK". How stupid does he really thing we are?
Although he never applied himself, Bush is actually rather smart. His corporate handlers want him to look folksy and dumb so that people will not be scared of him. He knows exactly what he is doing...Selling us out!
:P

HeHeHe, Yeah, right. You think were gonna fall twice for some ludicrous thing like that. Like last April Fools' Day when you were going to shut down the site because you were tired of Marauders. I know you and I know your smarter than that. Besides who in world would vote against the wishes of 78% of our military.
And this Redskins record is just about as long as the Red Sox's and we all saw what happened to the "curse."
You forget that the military folks are bound to support the existing commander in chief.
They have no other choice unless they keep mum about it!
:P

My problem was that instead of coming out and saying; "Yep I cheated on Hillary. (can you blame him?) "I made a mistake" "What I did was wrong and I'm sorry"
He just LIED & DENIED...and he got caught anyway!!
Bush got us into Iraq too soon, but we were going to have to go in there anyway.
I don't condone cheating or telling lies- going through a divorce right now for the same thing - unfortunately I am not as forgiving as Hillary.
However, nobody DIED by Clinton's lies. Nobody had their HEADS HACKED OFF. 100,000 Iraqi's have lost their lives - women and children - do you have children? I do. Over 1,100 brave young men and women of our country are dead - they had husbands/wives and children - all because of one man - GWB. I agree Clinton f^%*@# up and is a sleeeeeeeeze bag for it, but he does not have serious BLOOD on his hands.
Whoever votes for GWB or KERRY has the right to choose freely - I respect everybody's opinion and right to express it - that is what freedom is all about.
No here is a funny....

In my opinion, they are both idiots.
Bush has an IQ of 91.
Kerry will say and do anything just to get a vote.
However, our economy is sheet, health care is sheet, Bin Laden is still out there, Iraq is a mess.
I think any change is a good change. Too bad John McCain or Rudy Guilanni are not running.
Here is a report on President Bush's IQ -
Report: President Bush Has Lowest IQ of All Presidents of Past 50 Years
If late night TV comedy is an indicator, then there has never been as widespread a perception that a president is not intellectually qualified for the position he holds as there is with President GW Bush.
In a report published Monday, the Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, detailed its findings of a four-month study of the intelligence quotient of President George W. Bush.
Since 1973, the Lovenstein Institute has published its research to the education community on each new president, which includes the famous "IQ" report among others.
According to statements in the report, there have been twelve presidents over the past 50 years, from F. D. Roosevelt to G. W. Bush who were all rated based on scholarly achievements, writings that they alone produced without aid of staff, their ability to speak with clarity, and several other psychological factors which were then scored in the Swanson/Crain system of intelligence ranking.
The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
** 147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
** 132 Harry Truman (D)
** 122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
** 174 John F. Kennedy (D)
** 126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
** 155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
** 121 Gerald Ford (R)
** 175 James E. Carter (D)
** 105 Ronald Reagan (R)
** 098 George HW Bush (R)
** 182 William J. Clinton (D)
** 091 George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 50 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155.
President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91. The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126.
No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual IQ, 176.
Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President G. W. Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis. The complete report documents the methods and procedures used to arrive at these ratings, including depth of sentence structure and voice stress confidence analysis.
"All the Presidents prior to George W. Bush had a least one book under their belt, and most had written several white papers during their education or early careers. Not so with President Bush," Dr. Lovenstein said. "He has no published works or writings, so in many ways that made it more difficult to arrive at an assessment. We had to rely more heavily on transcripts of his unscripted public speaking."
The Lovenstein Institute of Scranton, Pennsylvania, think-tank includes high-caliber historians, psychiatrists, sociologists, scientists in human behavior, and psychologists. Among their ranks are Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein, world-renowned sociologist, and Professor Patricia F. Dilliams, a world-respected psychiatrist.
This study was commissioned on February 13, 2001, and released on July 9, 2001, to subscribing member universities and organizations within the education community.

Hey Directedby you need to be better prepared with your facts. The 100,000 dead Iraqis is from a highly questionable report. If you read the report their level of accuracy is that somewhere between 8,000 and 194,000 were killed in Iraq. The 100,000 number comes from splitting the difference between 8,000 and 194,000.

I think it's the lesser of two evils: I'll take Bush.
Kerry is waaay to wishy-washy. I don't want someone that indecisive to have control of this country.
I spent the better part of a decade in the US Army, most of which during the Clinton Administration. :( G Dub is 10 times the Commander & Chief.

Just ask yourself this "Are you better off than you were four years ago??I am glad that more people will be involved in voting than ever before.Can Both administrations claim this??The Honest answer to the second question is NO!Don't think for a second that our current party wants the REAL DEAL.

And you really think that Bush made his own money? Wasn't his famliy in the oil business? Didn't he try to run his own oil company but failed because he was an idiot? The man has failed at everything that he has done. He didn't even win the election. It was given to him by his brother and the supreme court. DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!
They just can't get over it....................

Very interesting debate. I enjoyed the Joe and Slim show. Far too much emotion and delusional thinking pushing this election. I am retired US Army and my son is currently in Baghdad. There is only one choice .... and Kerry certainly is not it. His brand of leadership gets people killed.

Wow, this got hairy last night, you guys might consider directing the hate at the real enemy, and I don't mean Bush or Kerry, the same civil war that is going on in our country during this disgusting "election campaign" has arrived here at our club.
Keep it up, soon we will have clubs within the club and there will be us vs. them.
As a person who has lived and seen others die under a communist dictatorship it is obvious to me that many of you today, have no idea what bad is.
This country is the greatest country in the world !!!! Go out tomorrow and vote !!! That privilege was bought and paid for in blood, yes blood.
Vote for your candidate, and support the winner 100%. There is a real enemy out there...and it may be you.

Bill Clinton > 182 (the highest listed)
That shoots the validity of thats study to h*ll!
All that proves is that with a high IQ you can LIE much better and convince a majority of voters that you are a great President....until you get IMPEACHED!!!! ('I did not have sex with that woman'.)
When Clinton Lied nobody died.
