Wow, look at all the run I'm getting! You're now at least the 3rd person who wanted to know who I was in my previous life (and the second to find out without asking). The funny thing is that I cared nearly nothing about politics before this year, but you guys have made my blood boil enough times to get me hooked. Thanks, I think. I'm outta here, GO BILLS!

I appreciate the compliment. B)

Did you think I was tennyboy?

Oh, and before Paco points it out, 'technology' is the correct spelling.

Tell me how you really feel! Progress if fine, but if there were votes added to either candidate's total as a result of a voting machine malfunction, it should be looked at, no? BTW, I WISH I had 1 billion dollars to spend - if I did I certainly wouldn't spend it solely on calling Bush a liar. Don't confuse me with the Democratic Party.

Were you angry when the Bills lost the Super Bowl? What's this thread about? Don't be so sure.

Buckner's Glove. I thought the screen name didn't fit any more with the Sawx winning the World Series. You could have asked - it's no secret unless your name is Thurman's Helment or Hollywood Donahoe. Now you know.

Sorry, the spell checker was off. Do you have a point or are you just attacking my spelling, Paco?

I've expained what I meant. There's no need to pile on a statement that was not well-phrased - unless your intent was to point out the fact that is was not well-phrased.

Moot so far because right now it's only one machine. If the tables were turned and Kerry's vote count was erroneously increased in a critical state, I'd imagine you might be a little upset yourself. Especially if he won.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, no doubt. It's rediculous that machines used for such an important purpose were seemingly not thoroughly tested before being put into a real-life situation. It will be a big deal if this happend in many machines, but you're right, we'll have to wait and see.

Percieved semantics, my friend. I've since stated what I meant.

I take no joy in posting this because it will only further anger us Libs and is probably bad for the country. It seems there are problems with the machines in Ohio... http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/05/...s.ap/index.html

This is a stretch right now, but IF the Bledsoe-led Bills find a way to beat both the Jets and the Pats, there's no way Bledsoe should be pulled even if Losman is healthy. I find it hard to believe we'll win both these games, but stranger things have happened.

C'mon, do you really think Arnold has ever read ANY history book?

The CORRECT DECISION may have included invading Iraq, but would also have been to gain support of the American people and the international community by presenting the FACTS about what was really going on in Iraq. They could have taken the time to find out for sure - then I could have supported a just war. We could have built off the momentum of 9/11 and Afghanistan and we'd now have more willing partners in fighting the War on Terror. Instead, the administration thumbed its nose at the rest of the world and lost whatever support and sympathy we had gained. Now we're facing a mess in Iraq and nobody in the civilized world trusts or willingly supports us. So yes, Dubya's administrations failed to make the CORRECT DECISION.

I'm not defending Moore. Michael Moore is one man and holds no public office, while George Bush is the president and is supposed to be serving us all. Dubya should be held to a higher standard.

Because we were either lied to or the administration acted on information that proved to be false and are therefore incompetent and should not be making such decisions. Had they presented these reasons for invading Iraq, it would be a different story and they could have garnered some international support. Stumbling into a good result does not justify their stated reasons for going to war in the first place. The way they went about it alienated nearly half the country and most of the world.

You have stated that you did not support the decision to invade Iraq - with all of this compelling evidence, how could you not? Why were these not the reasons stated to the American people pre-invasion? Why were we instead told that Iraq definately had WMDs and posed a direct and immediate threat to the United States? I don't argue the merits of the results of the war, but the ends do not justify the means. Either we were blatently decieved or the people making the decisions were incompetent. Either way, the loss of American lives in Iraq is a constant reminder of this adminstration's failure to make the correct decision.

Way to bring the country together, Dubya! Lead on, fearless leader!

Are all the names listed here soldiers that died in Afghanistan? I think they probably died in Iraq, a country that has not been shown to have anything at all to do with Al Quada, who committed these disgustingly hellish acts on 9/11. Iraq has little to do with the War on Terra, so I can't really see see the connection to 9/11.

Sig heil! (wow, that's twice that this repsonse has been appropriate to one of your posts in two days! keep up the good work )

Which is more like 1-2 to the average guy!

Ya, Hitler's probably over the top. Bad taste, my fault.

There are a lot of words that available, but not nice to use. Didn't your mamma ever teach you that?
