You need to stop fixating on Bush. It’s like you have some sort of repressed gay-love for him.

That's pretty stupid, even for you.


Your last few posts were stupid, especially for you. You say I fixate on Bush, and your very next post is ABOUT BUSH. Amazing how peeps allow only for themselves in a conversation.

You've been in a meltdown for days now- you used to make a great deal of sense & argue logically.
I look forward to the return of the old Finn; this new one vexes me.

My next post wasn’t about Bush. It was about the issue of the bail out. That's what I mean by fixating on Bush. That's all you think about. You see the word "Bush" and you fixate on it to the detriment of everything else. That is not healthy, dude. That is sad.

I want you guys to think about this...If the government owns the free market, it owns you. Its not a joke, or even remotely funny. The U.S. government will now control much of Wall Street, and most of of the housing market.

National Socialism anyone? Thats EXACTLY what this is.

And, where the fuck are we going to get this money? Borrowing from China? or Iraq?

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP




I agree.

It was about BUSH'S bailout, and hey- it's not really even HIS plan, some other folk came up with it, he's just pushing it, so in effect YOU are obsessing more than I am over the dude...that is sad.

PS: you earned this-
Bush’s bailout plane

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Like I said, you see the word “Bush” and nothing else gets through to you. You could have commented on why I don’t like the current solution concerning bailing out failed enterprises. You could have commented on my view of what I think should be done about it. All of which would have contributed to the debate or at least been on topic. But instead you insist up on forcing the issue to be about your hatred of Bush. That’s not healthy. It just makes you uninteresting. I don’t know why you can’t see that.

Or you could have commented on what kind of plane it is that Bush is supposed to be bailing out of.

His dad had a fondness for the old Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber, and bailed out of one of those one time. Bush the Younger seems to be looking for the ejector seat in Air Force One. He knows it's there, because he saw it in the movie!

Fred,

Im looking at setting up a table/booth on election day. Something to remind people that there is more than the 2 party choice. (Go Ron Paul!)

I'm in V.A. Do you happen to know what the rules are in something like this? I mean, every voting season I see Nader or laRouche people there so it can't be that hard...

I know it isn't much...but I've got to do something.

I'm pretty much writing off any 3rd-party candidates this time around, but I'm going to start supporting them at the local and state levels - Anarchist, Libertarian, Green - whatever; maybe getting a few more in the smaller offices can help us stir shit up a bit at the higher levels!

This world is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

I think you're right Kwicko. I made the mistake of voting for Ross Perot as a protest vote and regret it to this day. Not because Clinton was elected, but because I feel like I threw away my vote when it could have made a difference. Bush Sr. is a good man and he deserved my vote, but I thought he had it locked up so I voted for Perot. I vote for Libertarian candidates in local elections whenever I get a chance and hope someday there will be a viable Libertarian running for President.
