Take it one step further. Have the Navy run all the power plants. They also need to be built/remodeled to conform to Navy safety standards. The Navy has never had an accident worse than spilling a cup of primary coolant. No other organization has a safety record that comes close.
If Hillary is the 2008 nominee there will be the largest Republican landslide in history. If the Dems want to stand a chance they had better become mor moderate. That wouldn't hurt the Repulicans either.
View any film of her during Clintons Presidency and pay attention to her eyes. When she is unhappy, that is one scary bitch! My wife, three daughters, and many other women think a female President has to have some redeeming qualities, Hillary doesn't cut the mustard.
"Networks called the election before anyone bothered to perform even the most rudimentary audit."
So what? The networks are not an official part of the election process. They can say anything they want, it is not legally binding in any way. Until each state certifies it's results (over the next few weeks), there are NO official results.
The election will not be over for several weeks. Each state has to finish counting all absentee ballots and provisionals(if used in that state) and certify a total. That will end it for all the state races. The electors will then meet and elect the President, nothing different, happens the same way every four years.
Every news source I can find says the total number of provisionals in Ohio is less than the current margin, if they are all valid, even if every one was for Kerry he would still loose.
Let the people do their jobs and we shall see what happens.
Depending on how and with what you are charged, you always could.
"complaining to the government is now an act of terror according to the Justice Department"
The first time that is challenged in court, it will get tossed, free speech is still the law and a right. Calm down, it really isn't as bad as you think.
I agree with you. The actual changes are minimal, just updated to fit new technology.
During the time since it passed I have not seen one effect. I flew to NM in Jan. and security was tighter, I don't mind. Thats the only thing I've seen in three years.
I came to the conclusion that with all bullshit removed(any campaign retoric you've heard), I would vote may wallet. Every time a Democrat has held the White House in the last thirty years, my taxes go up a noticeable amount. I have never filed a tax return for over $38,000 gross(and that was joint with wife). That makes the wife and I lower middle class at best. I can't take another hit in the tax bracket. No matter what anyone says, when it comes to taxes, those that make less than Congress get screwed.
Here in North Carolina (High Point) it seems to be a 1 1/2 hour line everywhere. In spite of what I thought yesterday(60 -65%) the poll workers think we will go over 70%. I hope it goes that well everwhere, then, no matter the outcome, the majority will have spoken.
Our white box store was not open untill 10:30 instead of 9, the boss was ten people behind me in line.
Kerry used his political power to get an honorable discharge in 2001. I want to see the original from the early seventies. He manipulated the system to make it look like he had a good combat record.
Due to the dishonesty caused by MacNamara's sub-moronic body counts, all records from Nam have a credibility problem.
Considering that the under 30 age group has the worst turnout record this is probably meaningless.
The only time there was a strong turnout of 18 - 25 year olds was the first time the 18's were allowed to vote. Since then they don't show up or even register.
" (which is interesting since New Mexico has just as many Republicans as Democrats)"
In New Mexico Democrats outnumber Republicans 2.5 to 1. They are the most moderate Dems in the country and normally ballance with one Senator from each party. In national elections they have a tendancy to vote Republican. They put Joe Skeen into Congress in '82, in a write in campaign. Third time in U.S. history that happened. We objected to the Governor appointing his nephew to replace a deceased conservative Dem.
You are right, pen and paper are the only way to go. I like the idea of going back to something primitive because simple normally works best.
Reading most of the other comments here proves it. The number of possible corruptions is staggering. From a spoof of what software is actually running on the machine to a script to do a print screen on a receipt and recording different votes.
"Isen't there any independant thinking journalists left?"
Not since Chet Huntly left the NBC anchor with David Brinkley in the late 60's. When most newspapers put editorial crap on the front page instead of hard news (just the facts please, I really can think for myself), this is what it turns into. You get spoon fed what they want you to know.
There is no news coverage anymore, just rumor, gossip, and bullshit.
He also gave aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war.
Hid discharge was under review by an Admirals board and that is not done for an honorable. I don't care what his site says, I want to see a certified DD214.
He will not win, he is not trustworthy and is a spineless wimp with no position on anything.
4 months in Nam, 3 Purplr Hearts, not one day in a hospital. Sorry but most of us have spilled more blood shaving. Why won't Kerry release his records? Was his discharge less than Honorable?
What he says he wants to do about outsourcing is one thing, what the congresscritters let him do will be different. Remember that they are bought and paid for by special interests.
How is that offtopic?
Kerry had four months in Nam, 3 Purple Hearts, and not one night in the hospital? I've cut myself that bad shaving, but he did go, that counts for something. It's what he did when he came back that means I couldn't vote for him. It's a shame he won't release his records from the Navy, like what type of discharge he got.
Of course the Secret Service has people who tip them on things like this. Someone reads the letters to the editor in every paper in this country, and reports when something like this shows up. If someone overhears a threat to the President, they are supposed to report it. It is always taken seriously, until proven otherwise.
Kerry couldn't find his with both hands on the best day he ever had.
Kerry's testimony before the Senate in 1971 broke the faith with every person who ever has or ever will wear a uniform in servie of this country. Therefore he is not qualified to be commander in chief.
Boyce C. Williams II former MM2(SS) USN for the uninitiated, the SS stands for Qualified in Submarines, specificly the USS Silversides SSN 679.
The intelligence budget has been cut regularly since 1975, this is the fault of Congress, and no one else. They over reacted to the abuses of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
Does Kerry even know where he stands on anything?
John & Teresa, living proof that money can't buy class.

That makes sense. Don't bitch on the one day your bitching means something.
I would be happy to see over 60% turnout. More would be better, but we won't see 75$ this time. It was too close to half last time.
Most of us wouldn't bitch about our taxes if ANY of it was spent wisely.

I only spent 36 of the last 48 years there.
There was no presidential election in 1994. At least not in the U.S.

When Bush and Chenny win, not if.

Help your kids become very successful, they will pick your nursing home.
They did, but never one to generate a product or profit. They just generated venture capital and blew it on expensive toys.
