You're wrong. To NOT vote would the worst evil of all. Do you think I'd waiste my voting privilege because I didn't like the choices? I'm going to weigh the possibilities and vote my conscience.
I won't go into the reasons why I voted Republican, just suffice it to say, I made my decision based on something other than sound bytes, and religious retoric.
I am an insensitive clod, and I make no appologies.
Communism is great if you don't mind being one of the cowed masses. But I'd rather live in a country where I'm free to excel, be successful, and go as far as my talents will take me.
You think I'm the only one? Just take a look at all the shiny new Russian faces that have migrated here since the fall of Communism.
You may want to sit down for this - the number of votes a politician gets doesn't alter whether or not his policies are successful. Opinions don't magically alter reality.
I love my country, and I'm proud to be an American. But I have to agree with you. I voted Republican for economic reasons only. I think Dubya is a hairless freeking ape. Although I'm glad the democrats didn't win, I still think it's a shame that the only reason Dubya won is because all the biggots and homo-phobes wandered out and stumbled into a votin' booth because their pastor told 'em to do so.
If the US is so concerned about the capability to do evil things, when is this administration invading Russia? Or if the issue is actual harm done, what is this administration doing for the 4 million dead and 3 million displaced in the Congo?
The only lists that Saddam was #1 on were:
1: Weak states on top of vast oil reserves
2: Mistakes W felt his daddy made
I have to agree with you there too. We have no right to declare ourselves to be world police. We have to straiten up our own house before we decide to go and re-arrange everybody elses.
Believe me, we're not all ignorant rubes over here. It's just a shame that we live in a society full of sound-byte driven blind sheep who are so eager to avoid responsibility that they quickly swallow whatever horse shit that is spoon fed to them without even asking "What's in the bowl".

Thank you for exemplifying my statement.

Yeah.
Isn't it funny how a post about the Patriot Act turned into nothing but a pissing contest between neighbors?
To quote the great, and innocent, Rodney King...
"Can't we all just git along?"
LOL!!!
"Bangers 'n Mash!!!"
Sorry, I have a lot of friends who are British, and they even hate the food.
I often think about "fondling" myself, but I started out in America, so I can't.
LOL!!!
You're being Sarcastic, right?
The only thing the Patriot act has accomplished is proven to our enemies that we are a nation of frightened sheep.

Yeah, but we have a lot of RICH people.
I have an idea. Let's take all the money away from them and distribute it evenly to all the poor people.
Oh wait! That's been tried before. Never mind...
>>Way to go, good guys!
;)
Thank you and you're welcome.
