rehmwa 2 #27 August 20, 2004 Quote"Standing in line waiting to (pull a lever, punch a chad, check off a list, push a buttom) is so much more fun than watching or playing baseball." Do you guys have beer and hot dogs at your polling stations? Funny - I could probably do a good business if I set up a stand. I've recently rediscovered the wonderfulness of chili dogs, so this is very important to me. Although I believe that liquor at polling places was made illegal or else the democrats would unfairly attract more criminals, winos, and bums to vote.

TypicalFish 0 #32 August 20, 2004 I have come to the conclusion that no matter what, left, right, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, whatever, there will ALWAYS be some schnook who will come out of the woodwork to emphatically contradict the candidates version of events, whether it be this guy and Kerry or the guys in GWB's ANG unit who say they never saw him there. Blah, blah, blah. The days of the "smoking gun" are over.

You defend him...And you plan on voting for him...What are you flipping and flopping now? QuoteBesides, both YOU and the Bush campaign are on record as not challenging Kerry's war hero status. Yep, I am also on record saying that I think many of his medals were "Questionable". I am also on record for hating the man for his not being able to make a choice and stick with it, and his switching sides whenever the polls say his opinion is unpopular.

John O'Neill's interview: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,129554,00.html There was no enemy fire when the guy was picked up from the water. Many boats were there, many honorable men say they spent about an hour trying to save a boat without being under fire. I hope Kerry will debate his Vietnam service with these guys who served with him, instead of just challenging Bush to debate it. I think he won't, just like he won't challenge the validity of these charges, except to say that they are false because of the money which financed the advertisement.
