We learn from those lapses... Dosen't mean throw the baby out with the bath water and invade a country that has no ties to the disaster...
Ya? Next time I get cut off on the road, I think I will go home and kick the cat?

I never said that both don't do it. The Republicans just do it better and more professionally. They have an "E Ride" ticket to mainstream America.
When will people realize that terror is created to destablize things, especially the financial sectors. The hardliners are falling right into their hands... It keeps the fight alive.
We all get together and sing "Kumbaya" with the Republicans and we feed right into the enemies hands... All they know is power vs power.
I am not saying we don't remain vigilant, getting everybody in a "SpitBall" tizzy is counterproductive.

What there are rules? Didn't the British try and tell the enemy during the French and Indian War to fight in nice neat lines?
Your are trying to put "honor" in a profession that has no "honor".
What would you have done during the 1884 election?
WTF?

Why? "No quarter asked, No quarter given"
With all the fear shilling and demagoguery going on at the RNC, I guess they (DNC) got to fight on? People will buy into the hype and make poor choices. For some people there is a lot more to worry about than being a victim of terrorism.
And don't give me that BS about race AD, I live in an area that is 50 to 90% minority... There is no fear here. Leave that (fear) to the people who think they have something more important.

No.
My sister lives outside Burlington (Enosburg Falls)... Great because she has a view of Jay... Some of the best glade skiing in the east! Her husband is from VT... He has always been a Bledsoe fan... Has no animosity towards the guy and wants to see him succeed.
Their politics are liberal yet different. She is "Move VT Forward"... The bro-in-law is "Take VT Back"... Go figure?... Everybody outside VT is a "Flatlander" to him.
Its all the hippies that stayed from the 60's that changed VT? Now it is NH that scares me... Kinda like the Indiana of NE.
Both sister-in-laws live in Mass... People there just don't get it... Too much of a rush... Like the North Suburbs here in IL.
I made a lot of sweeping generalizations here, my purpose was NOT to offend... Okay, maybe a little
Just spent some time at the family's ocean home in Hampton, NH... All in all it is a great place to visit... People there seem down to earth.
What part of VT are you from?

A hanging chad is still hanging... Was it intent or error in the system?
My point is that the people will choose the wrong guy all the time when they get riled up.
The chanting, the repeat phrases, etc... And they mock Dean out? Go figure?
ZM brainwashing... He was a Marine?...
Hide behind patriotism, nationalism, fear... That is what I viewd it as. People are scared of change, doing the right thing.

Zel Miller:
"People who do you want!?"
"People who DO YOU WANT!?"
RNC (People):
"Barabus, BARABUS, BARABUS!!!"

Umm... Zell is retiring, at least thats what I understand. Is that wrong? I didn't watch the whole speech, as I can't stand the rhetoric from either side at these things. But like the DNC I have watched about 30 minutes total of the coverage. Zell sounded like a preacher speaking from the pulpit and down to the people in the church. But I will tell you, I honestly believe that if someone truely was an independant or undecided before that speech, then they probably are in the Bush camp now, for better or worse.
BTW, if you get a chance read the Washington Post from today, they are basically saying this race is over and Kerry is lost. They said he and his compaign team do not how to respond to anything or move forward. They said the Repubs have basically ignored anything bad said about them and rolled on, but Kerry and crew (pun intended) still have figured out how to let it ride.
Live in fear? Shill the fear baby! I hope my kids never grow-up fearing the unknown and looking for some protectorate.
You better not wake up tommorrow in fear of a terrorist attack? Better yet, I shouldn't get in my car and drive to work, I am in more danger of getting hurt.
What changed ZM's mind? 911? Come on.

That's Hypnotizing. Fascinating in its natural glory... The fear it exudes is huge. You look at all that open areas of water... What a contrast! The purple spins almost completely around, tightly and connected!
Whoever gets landfall, you are in my prayers.

That IS funny... the guy does a complete 180 after 3 short years???
Sounds like he should join the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as an honorary member!
He's from Georgia; big suprise there... I suppose if John Edwards was running for President, Miller would have slobbered at the chance to speak at the DEMOCRATIC convention instead. Stay in state where you belong.
Too funny!
Will the real "Flip-Flopenstein" stand up!
Early in his Senate career in 1986, John signed on to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Bill, and he fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so.
John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment. Business Week magazine named him one of the top pro-technology legislators and made him a member of its "Digital Dozen."
What gives Zell? I guess it is more popular and stay elected in his state when you shill 911.

Here is the 0200 paste from the weather channel. They do expect it to drop "sea anchor" and stall a while... Still play it safe.
Hurricane watches have been issued for much of Florida's east coast
2:09 A.M. ET Thu.,Sep.2,2004
M. Newman, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel
Dangerous Hurricane Frances is swirling just north of the Mayaguana after passing just to the north of the Turks and Caicos islands on a relentless course toward the Southeast. Hurricane force winds and blinding rains have slammed the Turks and Caicos during the last few hours. Damage has been reported from the islands. Frances, a category 4 monster on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, is expected to smash through the southern and central Bahamas Thursday and into the northern Bahamas Thursday night. After that, the southeast coast of the U. S. will bob to the top of the target list, but as yet there is no consensus among guidance tools as to where (or when) Frances will thunder ashore. Thus, prudence would dictate residents all along the coast (and even some distance inland) from the Keys to Cape Hatteras make at least preliminary preparations for a strike from a major hurricane. And, unless Frances throws out a sea anchor soon and begins to slow in its forward speed (as most models suggest it will) landfall could come sooner rather than later. Hurricane watches have now been issued for much of Florida’s east coast. Best advice: get ready; pay attention. This storm is larger and will effect more land than Charley did once it makes landfall. Also, if you are in a weak structure like a mobile home you'll want to make plans to evacuate should the storm forecast path go near your home. This kind of hurricane can blow a mobile home away. And keep in mind that tropical storm force winds and building surf (especially along the Carolina coast) will precede the approach of the hurricane by quite some time.
Meanwhile, in the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Howard appears to be growing stronger about 500 miles south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Howard is expected to move northwestward, however, and remain well off the Mexican coast.
In the western Pacific, Typhoon Songda (145 mph) is sweeping WNW from the northern Mariana Islands into the Philippine Sea. Songda is forecast to churn through the Philippine Sea in the general direction of Okinawa, but wouldn't be a threat to the island for four or five days... if then.

And NO's under sea level, about the worst town to be stuck in for a storm. If Frances shoots across FL and bounces up the Gulf, NO will be hammered.
Steve's got the right attitude, stay until you know you know you're at the point that it will make landfall.
But once you know it's coming at you, get the fugg outta' Dodge.
Is this true or not? I remember hearing that NO has never took a direct hit from a strong hurricane.
Can this be verified?

Take care and play it safe.
A little too late now but, a Katadyn pocket filter works wonders when water supply gets short. You can throw it in a third world mud hole and it would pump safe water.

Will GWB's:
"We can win the war on terrorism."... "We can't win the war on terrorism."... "We can win the war on terrorism."
Be his "Willie Horton?"

And if that were possible...why is it that the Navy has to call on the Coast Guard for overseas port security?
I was going to mention that... Very good point.

Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. It disturbs me also... Same as the competitive eating contests.

It's the wild west... What a perfect place for the big cowboy! Now we alone have to pay for it... What a mess.

Hay T Baby!... You must be lovin' life man?

Speaking as a moderator...our hands are tied. If we lock or delete a thread, people end up bitching and moaning about partisan censorship - and encourages the pinhead to post more (usually to prove what a big man he is). If we let it go, people end up bitching and moaning about our piss-poor moderating job - and encourages the pinhead to post more (usually, again, to prove what a big man he is).
So basically, since our most powerful tool is the ability to delete posts, and it gets bloody !@#$ing tiresome deleting 200 meaningless and obnoxious posts a day, we just let it go. It's just not worth the effort...if people here want to wallow in a cesspool, who are we to stop them?
Hay wait Tom! I am half way through this cesspool... I want to continue!
Now you know why Springer sells!

That kinda reminds me of how the neighbors handle snow on their driveway... Just drive back and forth a few hundred times to pack it down...
Like just grabbing the shovel would be too hard?
"fugtardia"... I like that!
Man, Did Bush's Speech Suck

Exactly!
I wonder what stupid rules they will impose?
They should just debate on the fly. No notes and pre-submitted questions.
Debates have become a joke in this country.
They can call it a presidential "Cage Match"... Two men enter, one leaves...
