Indeed?? I find it hard to believe that the Ruskies have trumped the

The B-52 is now mostly a cruise missile truck.

Maybe. But it's a darned good lookin' one. I can't think of anything
else I'd sooner be bombed by. BTW, what was the model desgination of
Enola Gay?


That was a B-29.

My favorite plane was the Spitfire. I have a book full of specs and
mechanical drawings that I found in a ratty little bookstore in
Oxford.

What makes it your favorite? The color scheme?

I suspect many republicans are now regretting this faustian bargain, which
gave them control of Congress for the first time in a generation, at the

movement within the republican party to purge those old-style moderate
republicans from their ranks.

Something in your post reminded me - hey, aren't we voting on some
senators and congressdrones to?

So I went to find out who's on the ballot, and just out of curiosity
clicked "president" and got this:

And, lo and behold! Look who got top billing!

From factcheck.org:

To call Kerry the "most liberal man in the Senate" based on a single
year's rating is simply incorrect, however. Over his entire career,
the Journal rates Kerry the 11th most liberal Senator. It's doubtful
that Kerry would have qualified for the "most liberal" label even
during his first Senate term, when was rated #1 for three of the six
years: 1986, 1988, and 1990. In each of those years Kerry actually
tied for the "most liberal" rating, sharing it with as many as five
other senators.

So will you vote for him after all ?

Perhaps Nader -- you seem to be conservative, and Ralphie was quoted
several months ago making a case for why conservatives should vote for him.

Conservatives don't seem to have any problem with stealing elections,

Aren't these just the fanatical neocons? Isn't the Conservative ideal
more along the lines of limited government, self-responsibility, that sort
of thing?

Did you notice that 75% of actual, living, breathing, poll-taking
republicans are pro-choice?

It is logistically impossible to put this nation under martial law- it is
impossible to do with this with 100% coverage in most major cities.

This is the same reason that it would be logistically impossible for any
other country to conquer the USA, so we could stop making war all over the
planet and still be safe from invasion. And, of course, stopping pissing
everybody off will go a long way toward reducing tensions.

Like, for example, in 1965, I was in jumior high or high school - I'm
horseshit at keeping track of dates. But I graduated HS in '67, went to
Minnesota Institutite of Technology in '67-'68, joined the US Air Force
in '68, and did drugs until they threw me out of the Air Force in 1976.

Where were you?

Thanks,
Rich

Since you asked me in such a polite way, I'll tell you. While you were
doing drugs I was involved in top secret national defense projects at the
Hanford Nuclear Reservation after graduating from Oregon State U. in 1969.
I am not a vet and never pretended to be one.

Thank you.

You dittoheads really have no clue how you're advancing Mr. Kerry's
campaign with this kind of weird attempt at mudslinging.

Mr. Seim, what you're slinging here isn't mud - You're shouting from the
rooftops that your opponent is the better man, you idiot!

You're talking about being better off with the US military removed,
right?

It would not be a good idea to remove the military, not now, with
the mess created.

You sound like a caricature ER doctor, with a patient with an electric
drill still drilling into his guts, tearing out organs and stuff,
and the doctor says, "It's not a good idea to just pull the drill
right out, because of the mess it might cause."

Stop the Killing.

Thanks,
Rich



Sometimes,killing it a good thing.

Are you a pacifist,Rich? I'm curious.

Yes, War is bad. Killing is bad.

And anyone who believes either is good, is a bad person.

Sorry, but the truth is the truth, and no amount of self-deception
can change the fact that a murderer is a murderer.

Thanks,
Rich

I think you are creating a false contradiction. Most of the people I know

Of those friends and relatives of mine who are registered Democrats and
Kerry supporters, I don't think any of them would go to a rally to see

Yes, the neocons have given the word "conservative" a bad name. I have
always been conservative in my political views. In my case conservative
includes such ideas as: when something is working fairly well you dont
mess with it, policies should be based on real science and if something
that sounded good isn't working you try to figure out why before more
money goes missing.

I have gotten so sick of the neocons and the right wing nut cases abusing
the word conservative that I've decided to call them on it. This is the
reason I have posted in support of Kerry. Personally I don't like Kerry
but he would be better than the current bunch of loons by such a wide
margin that I really can't see why any conservative would put the current
crew back in for 4 more years.

Did you notice that 75% of actual, living, breathing, poll-taking

The number goes even higher if you suggest a 13 year old girl raped by a
retard as the case to start with. Many peoples opinion on the subject is
not through. If you push them you can make the numbers higher or lower
depending on the result you want.

If you kick a dog and then stop kicking it, it is still likely to bite

Preface everything with 'remember' and it lends a certain credibility

In most cases, when John Dyson uses that device, it indicates the weakest
