well we don't see any one from the eu stampeding for the moral high ground silver cheetah.WE keep taking the MORAL HIGH GROUND be cause we know it to be right.so many of you people over on the other side of the atlantic have to be dragged kicking and screaming.
and what about rwanda?you people didn't do a god damned thing about it either.hell,look how long it took for anyone to do any thing about the idiots in the balkins murdering each other.and that is in YOUR backyard not ours.

Doesn't it mean something not only when Bushie is hated by the entire Western world, but on top of that, he didn't even win the popular vote in the United States?
alexander,why should i care if you don't like him?he's OUR president not yours.i view your leaders as weak men and women who don't have the courage to make a stand for what is right.look at germany.their top dog is more worried about people accusing him of coloring his hair than any thing else.and if you discount the massive democratic vote fraud bush probably won by a nice margin.
[/QUOTE]Ya gotta think that at worst he has at least HALF the voting public behind him..and the fact that his aproval rating is still hovering around the 80% range, indicates that he is in fact, liked by quite a few more than not. Now normally I don't believe the poll statistics..but this is from the same pollsters as did the polling for clinton..sooooooo I guess I can at least believe they are not just making it up. (and Clintons aproval rating wasnt too shabby either, despite the fact that I didnt like him or his politics)
[/QUOTE]Remember Daddy Bush's numbers - in the 90's a year before Election Day, in the 30's a day before. Junior's numbers were in the 90s in October, I think, but now they're in the low-to-mid 70s. Seems that his numbers are evaporating pretty quickly, I wonder why?

If he keeps this up, November 2002 will be a landslide for the Democrats.

All the Dem's who're whining about popular vote are the same ones who'd whine about State's rights if it would get them the election. The electoral college is in place EXACTLY for the role it played in the last election... to keep large states like California and New York from essentially dictating the Presidency by weight of numbers.
They wouldn't, even if the Electoral College wasn't in place. True, New York, California, and Texas all have millions of voters, but in last year's election, the difference between the winner and the loser was only a few hundred thousand.

Plus, who visits the small states, even now? How many times have you read about Bush visiting North Dakota, or Gore visiting Rhode Island?

I think that since only on a few occasions the winner of the popular vote has lost the electoral vote, the elections would turn out mostly the same no matter what system we use.

smartest?gore?he failed his gollege classes and dropped out.he failed divinity school and dropped out.of course the divinity school was just his dads way to get him out of the army.what has he ever done to make you think that he's smart?
but as for most votes,thats a matter of conjecture.you know what the dems say:vote early and vote often.
the man is nothing but a political whore.he sold his vote on the persian gulf resolution in order to get some face time on tv for gods sake.before clinton picked him to be his running mate he was pro-life.just like clinton claimed to be.but once they made the run for higher office they suddenly became pro-choice.

Well, if you don't bother to read what I type, why bother responding? You'll just sound more and more like an idiot.

Wonderful. I see I cannot have an intelligent conversation with the likes of you. If you are too immature to handle a serious conversation, then maybe you should go somewhere else.

As much as I'd like to retaliate to your incredibly *witty* post, it is beneath me to engage an unarmed man in a battle of wits.

I never said Gore was a genius - but he's smarter than Bush, of course. Bush is just a spoiled rich kid who got C's and D's in high school but was accepted to Yale just because his daddy went there (and he got similar grades there, too). He has never done anything productive or useful with his life, and his greatest accomplishment is that he is no longer an obnoxious alcoholic.

I would list Gore's accomplishments, but I have a funny feeling that you'd twist them and ignore them, so my words would probably fall on deaf ears. If you really want to know all the reasons why I prefer Gore, then I'll tell you, providing that you're not just looking for more reasons to tear into the man.

Yup, those crazy Democrats, they went and stole another idea from the Republicans.

Where do you come up with this nonsense?

Oh, please, everyone flip-flops on their viewpoints. Even Bush did in recent months. "Killing Osama bin Laden is our highest priority" was his tagline back in September, and now it's "Maybe we don't need to get Osama bin Laden after all". You make it seem like most politicians never do it. It's to be expected, sadly enough. Those who are honest and stick to their guns (can anyone say "Mondale"?) always lose.

If all Southerners are like you, then I can see where racism came from...
