Sounds like a plan. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[Senor Choppy]

I'm impressed that 30% of us can name our senators or congressmen. Go America!

The most widely known fact about George H.W. Bush in the 1992 election was that he hated broccoli. 86% of likely voters in that election knew that the Bushes' dog's name was Millie; only 15% knew that Bush and Clinton both favored the death penalty. 70% of Americans cannot name their senators or congresssman. 49% believe the President has the power to suspend the Constitution.

The first problem with being informed when it comes to politics is that there is too much misinformation to sort through. Another is that whatever knowledge you had about it is outdated 6 months down the line. A third is that politics is a bunch of bullshit anyhow. The last problem I'll mention is that if I knew my Senator's name, I'd just have one more person to be disgusted with.

I think Kerry has a good shot at winning this election. I heard an interview with Alexander Haig the other day talking about the U.S. needs to be prepared for a 10 year committment in Iraq. Even though Haig may be an extremist of sort, I think that when push comes to shove and people see that the Republicans are more or less proposing a long term committment in Iraq the U.S. electorate will decide that is something that they don't want to sign up for. Even though the Democratic platform is more or less calling for the same thing IMO, people don't believe that Kerry would be committed to Bush's war. I don't believe Kerry would be committed to such a war. I'm fairly certain I won't vote for Kerry but I'm just calling it as I see it. Anyway take what I say and bet it the other way because I couldn't have believed a year ago that Kerry would have a prayer of being elected. Andy and friends warned me it was way to early to tell and they were right.
