You're a liar. You have no idea how many people were not listed, you're just making shit up. Maybe it was a lot, but 60%? How do you know that? Don't bother to answer because you can't know that. Do us all a favor and knock that silliness off.
Yes, why shouldn't we? The party is made up of it's supporters, so their hate has most certainly translated to the party.
And as far as your assertion that one side was in attack mode, your bias is showing. They BOTH ran attack ads (many) and probably would have done worse if they could. To claim the Dems were better behaved than the GOP is just dumb, partisan bullshit.
A whole case huh. For that we should give em Washington and Oregon too, just to make it a fair trade. Throw in New Jersey for free (if they'll take it)
That's not true. I've lived here nearly 30 years, and the truth is that Volusia is split, with more people leaning Republican than Democrat. Just look at the 2000 results, and you'll see what I mean. Results are all over the place, but over all Republicans won a greater proportion of the offices.
Well, you're clearly a moron. This voting machine was in a heavily REPUBLICAN district, a fact left out by the partisans on your side.
What about that smart guy?
You're lying, because the Constitution doesn't address marriage at all. Try not to call other people liars when you've just done it yourself.

So where in my post did I state any of the things you claim?
I didn't, I stated that paying for health care through taxes is no different than paying for it through wages.
Why does the truth bother you so much that you would attempt to create a false argument?

First, democracy and governance IS harder in a larger country, simply because of the scale of operations. I'm not making a judgement about the quality of Denmark, simply stating fact. Anyone in a supervisory position knows that supervising 2 is easier than 100. It has nothing to do with arrogance.
Second, who gives a shit if you're offended? What does that have to do with anything, why should anyone care, and how does it further the discussion? The fact that you are too thin skinned to have a spirited discussion (which you have contributed very little to by telling us how you FEEL) is YOUR problem, not anyone elses.

Weren't we talking about freedom of the press? Right, around here any time someone takes a breath, some dumbass (you) tries to inject some partisan bullshit. Shut up or stay on topic, I for one am tired of idiots like you.

Ok, the Bush adminsitration is corrupt, Halliburton (2 L's) buys influence, and the Iraqis are being tortured by the horrible, oppressive US regime.
Nope, still here.
Sorry but you're full of shit and you know it.

"In many european countries they will cure your cancer and give you a quadruple bypass for free as well"
Except it isn't free. You pay for it through taxes, regardless of if you use it or not. The idea that something is free because other people pay for it is frustrating to me.
No, this is an example of a blithering idiot (you) throwing around a meaningless term (institutional racism) without having the slightest idea what it means. What "race" (a spurious distinction in it's own right) are you referring to? Considering that all of the so-called "races" live in places outside of the US as well, I would say it is equality at it's finest.
Here's what you don't understand. In the world of client confidentiality, it's not necessary to know. And we do know he doesn't have permission, if you'd bothered to RTFA.
The standard of behavior for businesses that handle confidential records is much much less tolerant of misatkes, because the stakes are so much higher. If you worked in an agency like this, you'd understand he stepped way over the line. It's just different, and you have to deal with it to really understand how serious it is.
Now I'm the one rolling my eyes. But no, I wouldn't vote for either of them. Religion has no place in politics (MLK) and pacifism is a poor policy for a world leader (Ghandi)
Yes, but there's quite a bit of similarity as well. Roll your eyes all you want, I don't cast my vote for criminals. And trespassing is a crime, even when it's your pet political candidate.
Yes, and if you put records in the trash without shredding them you should be fired. And if you install software that is NOT CONCLUSIVELY proven to be safe, you are committing negligent behavior, and should be fired.
Not knowing whehter SETI is safe is the problem in a nutshell. The fact that "we" don't know it is safe is reason number one not to install it. Ignorance is the worst possible excuse.
And the everyday stuff that violates security DOES get people fired, if they get caught. If you don't lock the med records room in my building, they check the tape, then fire you. That's it, boom, done. This guy got caught, so he got fired. Just as he should have.
When you are trusted with peoples confidential personal records, there is NO ROOM for stupid behavior. This guy should have known better. The standard is MUCH higher than you are used to, hence your inability to understand how serious it is.
He works in an office where the private records of individuals are kept, and he installed an unapproved program that could have allowed unauthorized people to acces those records. The possibility that he could have violated confidentiality is enough to fire him in any office like this in the country.
He doesn't have to actually violate confidentiality, just making it possible through negligent behavior is enough to have him fired.
I don't know about the other guy, but the reason I was voting for Bednarik before was because I think the 2 party system is broken, and I belive in much of the Libertarian message. Hell, I voted Libertarian last time.
The reason he lost my vote is because stupid publicity stunts are not appropriate behavior for a presidential candidate. And before you bother to list all the un-presidential behaviors of the other candidates, I know, and why do you think I wasn't voting for them.
You want to be president, then act like a professional. I am hiring you for a job, after all.

"The opinion was based on looking at the front page of two websites. I came to a conclusion based on what I saw"
Thank you for proving my point. I believe looking a 2 websites and forming an opinion is the very definition of hastily formed.
Yes, the opinion you expressed is uninformed, biased, partisan bullshit. What did you expect me to do an about-face?
"Oh, you're right, I apologize, I should value and respect all opinions regardless of how dumb they are"
Nope. Do a better job of learning your facts, or keep your hastily formed, inaccurate observations to yourself.

No, money buys exposure, and exposure gets votes. But, money is not the only way to get exposure, hence this silly publicity stunt by Bednarik.
He got his exposure, but in the process, lost my vote.
