KRC

Hey, I only moderate the PPP board. You need to talk with the mods of this board on why it was moved to PPP. Once there, I merged it with the multiple other threads on the exact same story. Get over it.

No, it was not removed. It was merged with the multiple other threads discussing the same subject.

Thank you.

You are exactly right. The Republicans were doing everything they can to get him on the ballot, because he would take votes from the Democrats. The Democrats did everything they could to keep him off the ballot, for the same reason. Either way you look at it, it is disgusting.

You are welcome. Glad I could help.

A difference would be that the outsourcing in the first case helps the American corporations. The outsourcing in the second case helps Canadian companies. But yet, people have no trouble when it helps Canadian companies, but have trouble when it benefits American companies. Why? I would think that Americans would prefer the benefits to go to American companies and not the other way. Both cases reduce costs to the consumer, and both cases are detrimental to American worker.

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain: ****. Seriously, anyone else see the contradiction in this?

PastaJoe's response to the "Why are you voting for Kerry" thread got me thinking. I am constantly hearing that people are pissed that American companies are outsourcing jobs to India, China, etc. This outsourcing reduces the price of the product, to the detriment of the American worker. In the next sentence from the same people, they mention that they want to import prescription drugs from Canada, in order to reduce prices. How is this different from the first scenario? In both cases, the cost of the product is being reduced, by outsourcing the work to another country. I do not see a difference between these two scenarios. Anyone want to fill me in in why one is good, and the other is bad?

Not to flame, but aren't you contradicting yourself with these two items? You want to create domestic jobs, but outsource prescription drugs to another country. That would reduce the American workforce in that sector, no?

Voter fraud in Philly? Never happen. [/sarcasm]

Before you go labelling someone as a party hack, you might want to look in the mirror. Paul is definitely not a party hack.

Who would benefit from supressing Republican vote?

Ummm..No.

If that were the case, then the Democrats would not be spending so much time, money, and effort to suppress the Nader vote. More people need to stand up and say "enough is enough!" Until then, you will be stuck with what you have now, or worse. Thanks for the compliments. Regardless of whether I win or lose, the main focus of my campaign has been to raise awareness of alternative candidates. The fact that I have swayed people to vote for me, who have never met me or knew me before my campaign, I feel is an accomplishment.

As I mentioned on TSW: People have risked their lives, and lost their lives, to maintain our right to vote. I constantly hear that people are not going to vote, because they are sick and tired of what we are getting from the Republicans and Democrats. Do not throw your vote away, just because they do not like the Republican or Democratic candidates. There are plenty of other candidates running in this election. There is a link in my sig line, directing you to a list of all candidates, their platforms, and campaign information. If you do not like your choice of Bush or Kerry, just follow the link to find a candidate who better represents your views. Apathy does not send a message to Washington that you are tired of the crap. Your vote sends that message.

I am working on Rockpile's song as we speak (or type). Morning Sweetie!!

I agree. Get out and vote, regardless of which candidate you choose.

I thought the Republicans were the party of death. Aren't they the ones that favor assault weapons and capital punishment?

This is what bothers me. Congress controls the purse-strings, not the President. Kerry was in a perfect situation to make meaningful changes to taxes and Social Security. What did he do? Now, all of a sudden, as President he will start doing the things he failed to do as Senator. Where were his fights on the floor of the Senate to keep Congress from raping SS? Sorry, but I just cannot buy into the crap coming from his campaign. When you sit down and think about it, it just does not add up.

Well, to be honest, I do not see how either of those will improve under a Kerry Administration.

What other issues?

You mean "clique?"

There is nothing stopping you from voting outside Dem/Rep. There are plenty of candidates. There has to be at least one that you are happy with.

Well, this type of forum interests me too. I am a political candidate, and I am currently working on my Masters Degree (Strategic Intelligence, concentrating on Asian Studies). The problem is the crap on this board. You blame Darin for spewing crap, but yet I am seeing the same type of stuff from you. As I have mentioned previously on this board, you get out of it what you put into it. If you want quality, you need to put in quality. When you stoop to the level of others, you are providing to nothing more than the deterioration of the board. We have had a lot of quality posters driven off due to the crap. You can help make it stop by not stooping to the level of others.
