    How's that go

    The Democrat is all heart and no brain, the Republican is all brain and no heart?

    Kidding...kidding.... The Republican does have a heart.

      I disagree. Dick Cheney is a very intelligent man, and while I may not agree with much that he says, a very capable public speaker. Take your liberal smears somewhere else, you damn dirty pinko!

    It is also a fact that you have failed to account for the non-gutless French. Who do you suppose they would vote for?

    In a recent poll of all non-gutless French, both of them said they would vote for Kerry.
