You see where wyomings wages are? That's right amongst the worst in the country along with Montana, west virginia and the dakotas. Years of republican leadership have gotten you to the basement of wage earners in the country.
What's wose is that giant rural states like wyoming tend to be leeches. They get much more in federal handouts then they pay in taxes. The liberal faggots you hate so much in NY and California are paying your farm, logging, and mining subsidies. Maybe you should be glad they are getting paid more then you otherwise you'd have to pay your own way.
On the other hand I am glad there is such low unemployment I guess that's what happens in a state that's almost all empty. Having said that, it does not surprise me that nobody is willing to work as a ranch hand for the pitiful wages your family is probably paying.
"Anyway, if you need to call someone names, try doing it in person. Not like a coward behind your computer."
Fuck you asshole. I do what I want. Retarded fascist nazis like you need to be countered and I have taken the job on.
Wow. I guess you get to call Kerry a douchebag but nobody else is allowed to call Bush one huh?
Typical republinazi. They can dish it out but they can't take it. Pussies.
As for me I think the days of the peaceful liberals are over. It's time we adopted the republitard tactics. Yes that means dragging them behind cars and crucifiying them alongside the highways.
Ruber Murdoch is a multi billionaire. He makes an insane amount of money furthering the republican cause all over the globe. To him Moore is just chump change.
As for others they have all written books and have radio and TV shows. Over the years they have made much more money then moore.
"Neither Bush nor Kerry would pay any attention to my state if we had a popular vote."
Unless you live in a swing state they don't pay attention to you anyway. The elctoral collage has nothing to do with that. All you have done is to trade which states get ignored.
"Catholic schools can not "cherry pick" students based on their intelligence. They can remove them for bad behaviour, but not for being "dumb"."
What? No catholic shcool I know admits everybody who wants to go there. They get to pick who goes there. Of course they area aldready filtering out the poorest of the people by charging for the school in the first place. If a poor person wants to go to a catholic shcool they have to prove that they are exceptional.
"That is a remarkable feat, and I will expect other highly politicized movies to try and ride his coat tails."
My point is that he is late to the game. All those people I mentioned have already published numerous right wing zealotry and have made a lot of money.
They think that democrats are demons, traitors and the enemy of the United States.
What a strange argument. What are you saying exactly? That we need to spend more because we like to meddle in other peoples affairs?
"Watch their numbers go up if the U.S. cut things dramatically"
I'd highly doubt it. If canada has no intention of invading another country now why would they want to invade other countries if we cut spending.
If anything worldwide military spending would go down if ours did because people would not feel threatened as much. Of course it's all silly because we can kill anybody we want any time we want. We are finally living out our John Wayne destiny.
"Really, the problem with public schools and our tax money is that the school don't have to be competitive in the marketplace."
Over 75% of all businesses fail leaving employees, customers, vendors and everybody out in the cold. Do you really want a system where 75% of all schools in the US shut down and where you have to constantly find a new school for your kids to go to?
If the voters are not doing their job electing regents and board members then it's their fault and not the schools.
Having said all that the US education system is in a sore need of being completely overhauled. Matt Groening said it best.
"school prepares you for life by teaching you to sit quietly at your desk doing exactly what you are told"
Yes but they spent nearly a 100 million trying to educate their kids. It seems like they could have spent that money invading bangladesh or something don't you think. Clearly their priorities are all messed up.
Catholic and other private schools get to cherry pick the best students. It's much easier to teach smart kids.
No matter what your criterea is if a school can get to pick who goes and who does not they will always win against a school that has to take everybody.
BTW the reason for the higher salary of public school teachers probably has to do with the fact that they are unionized. As a general rule union members get paid more in any industry.
" Well, in terms of percantage-GDP, we spend less than most developed nations"
I think that this war has thought us how convoluted "military" spending has become.
Due to black budgets and creative accounting we can make our military spending seem much less then it is. For example take all the mercenaries running around in Iraq, does their money come out of the military budget or some other budget. How about all those other private contractors? When the shuttle carries military payload or does military experiments do we charge it to the military?
It would be interesting to try and figure out how much money we actuall spend on the military but I bet it's virtually impossible by now.
" Moore must've netted a serious amount of cash for highly politicized views."
Not nearly as much as Murdoch, Limbaugh, O'reilly, Savage, Coulter or any of the other dozens of right wing zealots who populate the airwaves and the shelves of your local bookstore.
"one should be careful of: clips out of context; quotes edited for content; and editorial comments that don't reflect the material completely."
Really? Wow! What an amazing statement. You mean that if Kerry votes for one version of a bill and votes against another version of that bill he is not really a flip flopper?

Really? Amazing! I would have never known that from your posts. Apparently you are under some delusion that europe is socialist and we are not.
I guess what you really meant to say was that europe is a bit more socialist then the US. For the rest of the world that translates to "they get to have healthcare for their tax dollars and we get new shiny bombers".
"based on his record with Bowling for Columbine, I wouldn't trust everything I saw in 9/11..."
If you have something specific then by all means point it out. Many people have tried to discredit film but with very little success. Mostly nitpicky stuff and cries of "unfair he is not presenting the whole truth like Rush does".
Anyway the topic was about Bush getting egged. Are you saying it didn't happen? Was the footage he included in the film CGI?

Look up the stats. It, wymoning, the dakotas etc all have dismal ecenomies and decades of republican leadership in the governor and the local legislators.
The idiots in those states refuse kick out the republicans who have been fucking them over for over a decade because the "demoncrats" would take away their guns and invite the hippie-faggot-commies in to their pristine state.
I guess it's better to be paid peanuts then to let the homosexuals marry.
I know zealots like you don't like to be bothered with facts or anything but have you considered that 1776 illiteracy rate only measured rich white people?
BTW according to the CIA word factbook the literacy rate in the US is 97%. Again I know facts are not really important to jihadists like you but I wanted to include that for other readers who may be thinking that nearly helf of the country does not know how to read or write.

You missed my point I think. We have spent 200 billion in iraq building hospitals and schools. In the mean time we are closing our own hospitals and schools because your state and mine is running out of money.
Yes that damned govt. We should immediately end all welfare, social scurity, medicare, medicade, farm, logging, mining, all other subsidies too.
Let's go back the way things were before the great depression and throw our sick, homeless, unemployed, and elderly out on the street where they can beg and commit crimes.

That's silly. You have an incombent president and you have plenty of evidence about how he will continue to run the country.
If he has not run the country to your satisfaction so far you have every right to expect that he will not run it to your satisfaction in the next cycle. If anything he will probably run it worse since he does not need to get re-elected.
Again. If you are better off, if your country is better off, if the world is a better place then it was four years ago then vote for Bush. Otherwise vote for somebody else.
