Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Kerry got more votes...in the birthplace of our democracy. Must use different maps in Michigan. On my map, Virginia is not in the Northeast. 103255[/snapback] Last time *I* checked, the Revolution started in NEW ENGLAND, NOT Virginia. WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON may have been FROM VIRGINIA, but the ideas and important confrontation of British Rule came from NEW ENGLANDERS. Just had to clarify that.

There are few places in the country with more corruption and Parlimentary rule than jolly ol' NE.

While the first shots of the Revolutionary War may have been fired in Massachusetts, the argument could be made that colonial Virginians were much more Revolutionary. The New Englanders seemed to be more upset about the monopoly on tea given to the East India Trading Company than anything else. Granted, after the dissolution of their legislature they got a little ornery, but historically speaking, perhaps a result of their Puritanical history, they were downright passive when compared to colonial Virginians.

My memory serves that not all Revolutionaries wanted England gone, nor a democracy put in place.

Anyone with the last name KENNEDY can just put his name on the ballot, go away until election day and find himself an elected official. I mean seriously, whats a Kennedy got to do to get thrown out of Washington? Kill someone? Oops, nevermind.

Generation ME Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 Someone should send Mr. Moore some Nair for that peach fuzz mess all over his mug. One look at him should indicate the " Starving Artist " look won't work.

Pete Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 I say its dorito crumbs. Once stupid fat man waxed a bag he licked the inside

Campy Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 it was the mouthy new englanders who talked the talk, 104798[/snapback] Given the Patsie trolls who invade our fine board for two weeks each year, I'd say not much as changed
