When Clinton was in office, I had a nice newer Chevy p/u, tilt and cruise and a job I hated.

Now Bush is here and I love my job, I am currently a self employed contractor, and I have a run down Ford that I have to roll down the window to open the door from the outside... no cruise, steering has gone out, passenger caliper rattles like crazy, burns off a drivers front tire in six months (negative camber), two tone green cab with a blue bed and no tailgate. No horn, barely has heat, no air, and the transmission leaks.

Believe me, I HAVE pushed this truck, but I still love it and although the Chevy was nicer, it isn't my POS.

I'll take four more years of Bush!

Even though he really dosen't have crap to do with my immediate surroundings.

A friend of hers has already circumnavigated the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform laws and raised $236 million for her campaign.

It's her plan to have both Bush and Dean stand around with blank looks.
I hope she runs, anything I can do to help???

And finally, when she is beaten by dubya, she will have to join the ranks of Gore and every other inconsequential also ran in history, FOREVER.

...and quietly dissappear

Forget the blank stares and ask yourself after some of the presidential speaches what did the president mean when he made reference to "the new world order". Now there's a thinking question.

I heard a story about a trooper who pulled over a similar truck that was on the way to the sawmill. Although he was originally going to give a warning about a broken tail light, after looking the truck over, he wrote out a ticket for hauling wood without a truck.

New world order? W hasn't said squat about a new world order. That was his father, and he was talking about a world without a US/USSR dichotomy.

Alot of people have been under estimating President Bush for many years. They've been wrong. I'll never forget when he stood on the pile of ruble at what was the World Trade Center.

I also like the white Super Duty he uses at the ranch.

I wish Dean would take his left wing, tax hiking, Hollywood loving, body piercing, freak show back to Vermont.

This just in

Just now received this in a newsletter, and thought I'd share.

1. Two Cents: Some Questions Dean Should Have Asked Rev. Al

During the Democratic debate in Iowa last Sunday, Al Sharpton went after Howard Dean over the issue of race (big surprise). He lambasted Dean for having exactly zero "blacks or browns" in his cabinet. Rather than going after the Reverend, Dean cowered. For the sake of entertainment and to put Sharpton in his place, here are some questions Dean could have asked.

*Mr. Sharpton, who are you to lecture me on race relations? Don't you think your vitriol has done more to exacerbate racial tensions in this country than to help them?

*Mr. Sharpton, are you aware of the extremely small number of blacks who live in Vermont? As governor of Vermont should I have had a cabinet that "looked like America" or that "looked like Vermont"?

*Mr. Sharpton, what if I had decided to only hire "blacks and browns" and no whites, would you have had a problem with that?

*Mr. Sharpton, your National Action Network, does it "look like America"?

*Mr. Sharpton, would you, for the edification of the listening audience, please recount the story of Tawana Brawley?

*Mr. Sharpton, what are your thoughts on the candidacy of Carol Moseley-Braun, considering that she is running at the behest of the Democratic Party leadership so to pull votes away from you, as an alternative black candidate, in the D.C. primary?

*Mr. Sharpton, other than to get attention and, perhaps, make a little money, why are you running for president? No, really, why?

*Mr. Sharpton, what does Jesse Jackson think of your campaign? Has he endorsed you? Why not?

*Mr. Sharpton, since most pundits are making it sound like President Bush is going to waltz into a second term, would you be my running mate -- just for snicks and giggles?

I started to watch the debate in Iowa.But just as soon as they started to attack each other instead of explain their views on the issues I shut it off.It all seems so childish .Don't they realize this type of thing is killing their party?It's hard to figure out their stand on the issues when all they do is sling mud at each other.If i wanted to hear argueing i would call my ex-wife!

I think that's the second time I've heard you use the "body piercing" thing. What gives? Have you never seen any that were flattering? I have.

That's just wrong
...but it is a Ford, so it must be a truck... right?

Sorry sinjin, but I have never seen any body piercing that was flattering. However, I respect the right for anyone to have and show off their piercings. It's just not my cup of tea. I know no one that has a piercing, but I know a few Harley guys with a tatoo (we are from different sections of the Country).
Enjoy

IMHO, if everyone paid the united States what they owe us we would no longer be in debt.
