    Why not prove it, become famous, you would then have a real audience not
    just a few mountain bikers who don't care if you exist or not.

    The last 2 states to release their vote count have Democrat Secretaries of
    State, probably were still looking for additional votes. Hey, makes as much
    sense as what Mike is saying.

    Kyoto wasn't ratified by the Senate. ABM was, and yes Vandamage is a

    And yes, it's not a secret that MV is a whack job (though I believe
    you spelled it wrong). The fact he apparently supported Kerry should
    make virtually everyone feel better, regardless of your political
    leanings. ;-)

    Don't think I agree with that one Mark.
    So is MV a few letter short of being a whack job?

    When you consider the President's margin of victory, the gain by Republicans
    in the Senate and House of Representatives, it is clear mandate by American
    voters.

  14. Had to log onto see what the talk was about the election...
    I could have guessed but, of course, MV is upset. I consider that a plus.
    But now we have a (1) President who was legitimately elected, by a majority
    vote (51%) (2) Does not allow U.S. security to be bound by outdated
    "treaties", (3) allows private enterprise to dictate the course of their
    business and recognizes the health industry is in turmoil but throwing the
    government resources into a social program is too costly, inefficient, and
    will not solve the problem (realistically, it is the scam of insurance and
    frivolous attorneys (like John Edwards) driving the problem), (4) Responded
    to the declaration of war on our people and country, (5) Has gutted the
    terrorist organizations responsible and continues to fight those who would
    twist a peaceful religion into an extremist propaganda evil agenda, (6) has
    no respect for an organization which fails to enforce its own rulings, calls
    on our participation when it desires then asks us to pay for it also, and is
    corrupt with bribery, self serving members, and was so deeply mired in
    inaction they couldn't decide which way to turn, (7) and is disrespected by
    those who were profiting from their own arms and oil deals with Saddam and
    did not want U.S. involvement in Iraq because it would upset their own apple
    cart.
    Yes, we have a President. We do not have a White House resident who would
    poll the world before acting in the best interests of the United States.
    If that also means we'll be able to ride our bicycles in the woods without
    elitist interference from self described experts, all the better.

    Yes, he does. His intent was and is to get his hands on Iraqi oil.

    If we're getting all this oil from Iraq, why is oil so damned expensive?

    Because it was determined that the vote count would take several years to

    what is and isn't illegal.

    best well documented studies show about 20,000 deaths do to insurgent
