    At least Diebold's ATMs have an audit trail. Their voting machines don't!

    Yes, it's significant, but you are overlooking the most important point, which is that nearly half of the country still voted for the idiot.

    No, the problem is that 99+% of the country voted for AN idiot. It was split nearly in half over which idiot.

    I mean, look at the current polls: one says Kerry is up, another says Bush is up. Basically, it's still going to be a close vote. That's insane! But don't forget, this is the same country that not only elected, but re-elected Ronald Reagan. It's filled with people more concerned about The Gays than their own civil liberties, their own pocketbooks, their own personal safety!


    I'm quite concerned about my civil liberties (Kerry WROTE large parts of the Patriot act), my pocketbook (why is tax & spend any better than borrow & spend), and my personal safety (I don't see Kerry doing much there either). I'm not thrilled with Bush, but so far, Kerry has failed to convince me that he's any better! Talk about a low bar to shoot for!

    To be fair, I don't think the Iranian hostage release had anything to do with Reagan's tough talk. It was just a final "fcuk you" to Carter.

    I don't know about Jon stewart's statement, since AFAIK, Kerry's never told the truth. I agree that he comes off as a dick when lying his own face off.

    Even ASSuming that you do trust the Republicans, what happens if Hilary Clinton buys Diebold before 2008? Should we still trust them? And wasn't it a Republican who said "Trust, but verify"? Where did that party go?

    So a CEO who is facing going in the red won't, say, "cook the books," decrease QA spending while shareholders are happy that they're now seeing profits, glossing over the decrease?


    And the next CEO will decide NOT to cook the books because he doesn't want to go to jail like his predessesor did.

    If I were a *nix newbie, the first thing I'd try is "help". "bash err - help not found". Man? Why would I type THAT? Maybe I'd guess info, but maybe not. I suppose a google search for "unix commands" might give me something useful, but I'm too lazy to try.

    My "support" of Bush is lukewarm at best, but I'll answer your questions:

    - Are Fundamental Christians
    Nope

    - Think they are Upper class
    High middle class. Which is ignored by the Dems.

    - Watch Fox News
    I like it better than CNN!

    - Believe the media
    BWAHAHA!

    As I said above, I'm not too thrilled with Bush, but I see absolutely NO reason to vote Kerry! Sorry, but "Bush sux" isn't a good enough reason!

    The main problem with the Libertarians is they have a "hands-off" attitude towards business. Unfortunately, an uncontrollable giant corporation(s) can screw you almost as bad as Big Government.
