"... The goddam guy stole the f##king election and now, without a whimper from "the people", has effectively designed the eventual destruction of a meaningful future role for Social Security in the lives of those same people who,like me, paid into it for all the years ...." (AT)

Sheesh!; It's gettng easier to spot a Liberal on these threads all the time; just scan for a few key words & phrases...

Say, Art; That was pretty clever of GWB to "steal" the said election when the other (your guy, I assume) had the #1 top-dog election Fraudmeister in the US of A, "Bugsy" DALY on his team... no doubt just to keep Bugsy from falling into the service of the GOP who, as it turned out, did all right without him. And all those cigarettes for votes, and the Union vans loaded with multiple-identity nomadic voters (must be nice to get the day off with pay in order to "get out the vote"), and the College Students (many at the behest of their Profs) who registered & voted locally, as well as absentee in their home states, and similar stunts used with impunity (when's the last time you saw a prosecution for voter fraud?) for decades.. Pretty darn crafty!

But... OH!! Wait!!;
That wasn't Bush all those clever people were voting for (or being helped to vote for, in the case of illiterate or illeagal alien "voters"), was it? Wonder just who that candidate could have been?

In some states, I understand, these shenannigans are being looked into, and 2002 may be a somewhat different scenario. Beyond that I ain't gonna say... but it ain't over, sports fans; stay tuned!

Hey, Loopy! Welcome aboard! And Claymore - take the "cookie" and jump right in, lad; the pirrahnah are bitin' just fine (in case you haven't noticed by now)! Although "Conservative Musician" seems like a contradiction in terms, or an oxymoron in most circles, there are a few of us survivors out here tenaciously resisting extinction (Hillary is going to have to wait a few years before she has us dissenters rounded up and neutralized). Hold your ground; if we don't have time to post in your defence (as well as that of the Constitution) we'll be rootin' for ya!
Things were cooling off and getting nearly civil in here, politically speaking, for a while, and I guess we were getting a tad complacient. I've asked MAV to pile back in here and join in the fun, too. Remember him? Oboy!!!
'Bout time to break into "Rebate II" any time now eh? I 'spect this one is goin' tae run out a bit o' line, me hearties! Hang on tight & have fun! };>{)~
