Man, I'm pumped for this Game! It can turn our season around, and I believe we will win, and open some eyes out there....I've been a pessimist like most around here, but what this comes down to is THE BUFFALO BILLS VS. ny jets in a classic battle in Orchard Park! come on, let's get the feeling again
sorry man ... 2-5 Bills vs the 6-1 Jets just isnt the same old classic battle.

IMO, there is ever, ever a vote that is wasted...ESPECIALLY if you want to vote Independent...
Maybe KRC knows this more then I do, but isnt it true that if a candidate gets more votes, they become eligible for more federal funding for another campaign in the future? I remember reading that or hearing something like that somewhere....is it true?
I do think that is true, however, the money they would need is so incredible (to compete with those of the r and d parties that Its a drop in the bucket). Believe me, I wish there were more REALISTIC viable options, but right now, and for generations to come, our president will be either Democrat or Republican.
... or Blue Tulip Party...

Haha.
Tell me that if I had voted for someone else, it would not be a waste of a vote. Tell me that. Would ANYTHING have changed? No.
I know that's the same as saying "my vote is only one vote, so it doesnt count", but if everyone thought that way it would make a huge difference. The TRUTH is, the way it is now, there are ONLY TWO CANDIDATES. Even when there was a third that got quite a bit of attention (and votes), he was only in the spotlight because he was a multibillionaire and could afford to fund his campaign against the juggernauts that are the DNC and the RNC.
All I am being is a realist, and you want to believe in the cute little idea that someone would give two s#its if we voted for someone else. It wouldn't. The only way anything is going to change is if one of the other parties starts to make itself known. And they can't do starting in an election year. They would have to start 8-10 years ahead of time, getting people informed, etc, etc, to even make a DENT in the two party system. Money makes the world go round, and it always will.
I know what you're point is. Its not a waste of a vote to vote for a third party, because if more people did, it would add up, etc, blah blah blah. Well guess what? That's just not the way it is. No one cares, and most people laugh at those who vote outside the lines.
But then again, Im just a f-cking punk.

Nothing better than you editing out the last sentence of my original post where i clearly said that Kerry couldn't do anything about that either.
And do i have to disagree with EVERYTHING Bush says to think he is a terrible president? Nope.

I'd go with Eric Flowers or Butch "Rock and" Rolle

Jets - 21
Bills - 17
Two more TD's for Willis, the Jets just have to many offensive weapons.

Oh, I voted - unfortunatly it didnt help. But, I still did.... mainly because Puff Daddy said I would die otherwise.

Listen, we're just happy we have a guy that ran for 100 yards last week. You had TWO!!!
Give us our 3 or 4 more days until your Jets crush us back to reality....
-
Damn, it would be nice if we had a guy on the team that was a qualified starter, who had around 56 catches and 4 TDs last year, and could even return a punt or two if needed.
Damn, I wish we had one of those to play WR...

You're right. Im sorry.

Screw you!!!! He has been a fixture on local radio since the 80's He worked On-on-one sports on WBEN after the Stan Baron era (Who is a Hall of Famer) He was a beacon in the dark when all we had in local sports radio was ranting and raging and hate. He has always conducted himself with class, had great, intellegent guests and has taken to Buffalo as if he was raised here. The sports fans of this city love this guy because he has become one of us. He could have left town for a better deal when Empire fell apart, but loves this area and did everything he could, even financing his own show to make it work for himself and the people of Buffalo. How old are you? 22 or something like that. I'm 35 and it seems Howard has been part of my life as long as I remember.
I usually don't have an issue with you Steve, but know what you speak of before you open your inexperienced trap!!!
See, again. Awfully touchy about this guy. Seriously - it's not like the guy died. He moved from a terrible AM station to a slightly better, yet still low budget cable station. I'm glad for you that he loves buffalo so much. But I still wouldnt get my shorts in a knot because I said he isnt the greatest the media has to offer.
To me, he is just a normal old guy*, from Buffalo. That's why I like him. But that's also why he'll never go anywhere further than WGR-NewsRadio55! and Empire Sports Network!....
I'm 25, and I love when people bring my age into it. Means nothing.
*and I dont mean old as in age... I mean old as in ol' ... like "i was having a good old time. "

I know, I know. Let's make America "listen" to us by boting for a third candidate. It is a waste of a vote and will be a waste of a vote until either 1) A third party can somehow miraculously raise hundreds of Millions of dollars for a multi-year campaign starting now for the 2012 elections, or 2) everyone who has lived in this two party system (meaning EVERYONE) gives up their ties to a party they have been so close to.
The idea of "you can make a difference by letting them hear your voice" is cute. It just doesnt do crap.

Last time around the complaint was that Bush won the electoral vote but couldn't get a majority in the popular (kinda like Clinton both times), now he gets lambasted because he could only muster a simple majority -- unlike any democratic candidate in the last 40+ years.
Get over it already.
I'm over it.
Now, let's move forward, and keep fighting this never ending fight - the "war" on terror. We will soon realize that the war on terror is like the "War on Drugs". Im not saying Kerry could have done anything about that either - Im just saying it sucks.

Done.
Now, can we talk about this love affair people have with this guy? He's good, yes. But lord almighty, what has he done? Like I said, a tiny budget AM station and a basically public access TV station. I'm sure he has his place in the Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame!

Howard Simon. Gets bounced back and forth from a local AM radio station to a failing local cable station. A real legend of the media.

I think its says more when 55,000,000 people go to the polls to say they don't want you to be president again, and you still remain there.
OT- similar to 'CHEFS' in the endzone

yep. that's me. I was the first one to say that I didn't want Bush to win, but it was time for Kerry to concede. You really have me pinpointed, don't ya?
I love how all of you guys can't help the process, can't try to educate anyone, and can't give your opinion. You all just wait to jump on someone who doesn't have the same view and say such deep things as "the hot pockets crowd". Yeah, you're really gonna make points doing that... . . .
