Neither is Bush and if you believe in that fool your own ignorance is

all that. --

It's easy to ignore all that, just think of

Jefferson, on the take with $90,000 hidden in his office
McKinney, attacking Capitol Police
Studds, also a child molester
Kennedy, death by drowning
Clinton, to much to mention
the other Clinton, land scams
Johnson, Viet Nam
Kennedy, also Viet Nam
Carter, Iran

need more?

Harry "Palor" Reid -- failure to disclose land deals (smart since they were
corrupt if not outright illegal).

Nothing Reid did on the land deal was illegal. Sorry, Bill!

http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001782.php

However, your guy Hastert did a land deal where he earmarked federal funds for a
highway near a property of his, which caused the value of said property to
appreciate. He sold it and profited nearly $2 million.

By the way, inre: "Clinton land scams," wrong again. In the Whitewater
investigations, Starr and company never were able to find any evidence of
malfeasance by the Clintons. In fact, it was shown that they lost money on that deal.

Tip of the iceberg:

Duke Cunningham, bribes
Bob Ney, bribes
Tom Delay, money laundering
Rick Renzi, illegal land deals
Crazy Curt Weldon, influence peddling for his daughter
David Safavian, influence peddling for Abramhoff
Bill Frist, insider trading
Dennis Hastert, covering up knowledge of Foley's problem
Conrad Burns, ties to Abramhoff

Yeah, McKinney slugged a cop. Dumb, but she got voted out. And Jefferson had
bribe money in his freezer; $90k vs. Cunningham's $2.4 million.

I think the original poster deserves more respect.

Considering that only 40% of the eligible population actually votes, even if
EVERYONE voted for one candidate, you couldn't say that "the majority of
America has elected" anyone.

Sorry, I don't share the optimism. I think that the Democrats will not
take back either the House or the Senate if the local campaigns are any
indication. The Democrats are basically running on the "We're not
Republicans" platform but are not offering credible, intelligent
alternatives to the (frequently criminal) Republican malfeasance of the
past six years. I don't think it's enough to not be the Republicans-
the Democrats have to offer some alternative vision of the future.
They've failed to do that. Unfortunately most of the criticisms of the
Democrats from 1994 are still accurate.

"All political parties die at last from swallowing their own lies."
This has happened to both the Democrats and the Republicans. Maybe it's
time for other parties to advance into prominence and for these two
seriously corrupted cesspools to go away if they can't reform themselves.

Montana has a Democratic Governor, one Democratic senator, and one

They're not MY idea of Democrats, but you have to make allowances for

I'm tying my desire to raise awareness for what I think is a worthy
cause to my riding a bike, well... 1) I like riding a bike and have
thought of riding cross-country on a fixed gear for a while, and 2)
it's not like I can just call up a bunch of TV stations and talk them
into running a story about a guy on his couch who thinks his story
deserves to be told. Hell, the very reason I'm doing the ride on a
fixed-gear is to differentiate the ride as something worthy of at least
a little interest/curiosity. Lot's of folks have ridden in support of
various causes, and the only way to generate interest is to be a bit
different....

If you did the ride on a couch, you would likely get television time:

Brian: While I agree with your sentiments, it's wrong to assume a
reasonable person couldn't make a reasonable case for the other side
(keeping troops there, or putting them there in the first place). And as
for the Democratic party, sorry, I can't help but think that Bill Clinton
passed up opportunities to deal with this before things got totally out of
hand. When the inspectors weren't allowed to inspect, he could have
ordered immediate reprisals each and every time. Eventually the message
gets home. You let the inspectors do their job, or something gets bombed.
A direct linkage. But we seem to have problems with that sort of thing; in
our military handbooks, apparently it's a requirement that all such things
lead to escalation and ever-greater involvement.

I can't believe I'm replying in this thread.

Bill Clinton has been out of office for six long years during which the
Republican Party has controlled the Executive branch and both Houses of
Congress. Bill Clinton didn't invade Iraq. He continued the policies
toward Iraq that were in place from the prior Bush administration. The
evidence is clear that the intelligence people in Clinton's outgoing
National Security Council tried to tell the incoming Bush people about bin
Laden but the warnings fell on deaf, ideological ears. Bush and the
Republican party made this mess and America is finally waking up--too late
for the needlessly dead and maimed. And now the Taliban is returning in
Afghanistan because Bush diverted the war machine to Iraq. The only people
coming out of this on the plus side are the leaders of the arms industry.
And then there's that budget deficit every year under Bush. My kids will be
paying for that and their kids as well.

Quoted message said:

Brian, et al...

I implore you, please start your own thread if you want to bash Bush or
discuss the war itself. I'm not talking about supporting the
administration or the war. I'm just trying to generate support for the
folks who're asked to do the hard work.

If you have a single sympathetic gene in your body for the folks
actually fighting, suffering, or dying in the war in Iraq and
Afghanistan, you'll take your political discussions elsewhere.

I see Scott has little understanding of the dynamics of Usenet
discussion.

You have two choices - have the discipline to ignore flame-wars or
learn to enjoy them.

Complaining and pleading does nothing but invite ridicule.

Aahhhhhhhhh.........

Which ones represent the 20+ million illegal aliens??

Which ones represent those that accept the risk/reward aspect of their life
to try to achieve the American dream??

Which ones represent those that believe that the government OWES them a
living and even think they deserve more??

Which ones try to give away more government entitlements so you will vote
for them??

Dear Scott,

This is a great step to creat awarness and make people think about this

Make some plan to come to india so that we can have some same type of

In December, 2006 I'm embarking on a cross country ride to raise
awareness and nonpartisan support for our troops involved in the war in
Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm calling the ride Trek 4 the Troops, and I
welcome you to read more about it www.trek4thetroops.com.

What makes this ride different from other cross-continental
awareness/fund raising rides?

The ride will be done solo, without a support vehicle, on a fixed-gear.
That's right, FIXED GEAR! To the best of my knowledge only a
select few have ever traversed the continent on a fixed-gear, and some
might say that the attempt is crazy.

I'll be following a fairly southerly route from San Diego to
Savannah, and I welcome anyone/everyone to ride along should I pass
through your area. Fixed gear bikes not required! I'll be updating
the ride website every day, and who knows, maybe your picture will show
up there.

In the meantime, please visit www.americasupportsyou.mil and see how
you can help in the effort to support our service men and women serving
our country in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm not soliciting funds or donations directly. I have no way (or
desire) to handle donations of cash. I'm asking that folks select
one of the many fine organizations that are doing a wonderful job
supporting the troops, so please help however you can.

thanks!

Scott Hendricks

p.s. for the usenet nazis on rec.bicycles.racing who think this
doesn't have anything to do with bicycle racing, you're right. If
it'll make you feel better, think of it as my winter fixed gear base
mile riding in preparation for next season!
