None of you apparently are old enough to remember when Daddy was Prez, but things were ugly, real ugly. I for one don't want to go back to 70% unemployment and 120% inflation. I might hold my nose when I vote for Gore, but it will be better than holding a layoff notice if Shrubya is elected.

I hear that! I got laid off for the first time in my life from the best job I ever had thanks to Big Daddy Bush. What a jerk.

Politico--

Do I detect a tongue in cheek? There was never 70% unemployment on a national basis; there was never 120% inflation (even under Carter); W. and his father are 2 different people in two different times; EVERYONE here is old enough to remember the GHW Bush presidency. What is your point?

From Shrubya's convention speech...

"I do not need to take your pulse before I know my own mind. (I don't have a mind, but my daddy will be calling the shots)

I do not reinvent myself at every turn. (I don't have to, I can ask my daddy what to do)

I am not running in borrowed clothes. (I am running in clothes that my daddy handed down to me)

When I act, you will know my reasons. And when I speak, you will know my heart. (In other words, you'll know my daddy's reasons, and my daddy's heart)"

FUD=democrat?

We spent a hell of a lot of time around here getting rid of FUD.

Make a case FOR Algore.

hmmm, I'd been waiting to try out that "no text" stuff when it seemed appropriate, but you beat me to it. It's like having your own Captain Midnight Decoder Mouse [tm].

-- I'm Here, I'm There (I'm Everywhere@so.beware), August 06, 2000.

I'd love to take credit for it, but the "no text" stuff was actually posted by Hawk or one of his trolls. I just fixed it, which ends up making it look like I wrote the post.

I said before that nobody could kill a thread quite like my little buddy CEEPER. A new crown is now officailly awarded to the BTP.
