Why are we even debating the issue of the 2000 election?

Maybe he was just trying to keep more ignorant ass voters from voting.

I like that idea. Only if you know about more than TWO candidates can you vote. Yes. Goodcall on my part.

Yes, Bush was trying to keep ignorant ass voters from voting? That's funny because most of the voters kept off the list were minorities and other groups that typically vote democrat. Curt, that's the same "Unprecedented" documentary I was talking about.

Curts Signature:

Men often stumble upon the truth. Some then pick themselves up and carry on as though nothing had happened. -W.S.Churchill


I think it's funny that you have a Churchill quote as your signature, as he was the one to gas the Iraqis in the first place between 1920 and 1924. "Churchill despised the squeamishness of those who objected to the use of such gas against uncultured tribes. It spread 'lively terror,' and could prove a 'useful experiment.'" Doesn't this mean that Churchill's was a terrorist also?

Excerpt from pages 179-181 of Simons, Geoff. "Iraq: From Sumer to Saddam". London: St. Martins Press, 1994:

Winston Churchill, as colonial secretary, was sensitive to the cost of
policing the Empire; and was in consequence keen to exploit the potential
of modern technology. This strategy had particular relevance to operations
in Iraq. On 19 February, 1920, before the start of the Arab uprising,
Churchill (then Secretary for War and Air) wrote to Sir Hugh Trenchard,
the pioneer of air warfare. Would it be possible for Trenchard to take
control of Iraq? This would entail "the provision of some kind of
asphyxiating bombs calculated to cause disablement of some kind but not
death...for use in preliminary operations against turbulent tribes."

Okay, so why don't you petition to get a viable third party going? I voted third party in the last presidential election... I agree that Republicrats all stand for big money and big business, so we should do something about it. People are ignorant because they're kept that way. Perhaps if the mainstream media wasn't owned by the same ten corporations with a vested interest in keeping (insert politician here) in office, perhaps we would hear more about the libertarian party, the green party, the freedom socialist party, the communist party, etc. and then people wouldn't be quite so ignorant. And maybe, some candidates from these parties would even be allowed to debate and real issues would be brought up instead of who was wearing the better suit.

I was just thinking, who could run as an independent and actually stand a chance of winning? One name comes to mind.

Colin Powell.

That is, if he can keep himself from being tainted too much by his involvement in the current administration. I guess the outcome of the current war would have a lot to do with his future electability.

Can anyone think of others who might actually win as an independent?

Pedro,

With our countries lack of voter participation, laziness and ability to be wooed by endless rhetoric You might as well vote for Bozo the Clown let alone an independent.

I just wanted to add a little happy thought! :lol: My brother in law went to Sea World last week. They asked where everyone was from. There were people from all over the US and the world, and when someone said "France" all you could hear was:


BOOOOOOOO

:D
