I have yet to see an embryo in combat boots or carrying an M-16.....Quote:

I don't see the connection.
:confused:
The troops in Iraq are not there to die. They have been trained and equipped (the body armor issue has been dead for a year) the best that we can. If three years ago someone told me we were going to invade Iraq, put stabilization forces in place and have them there for a long time and then told me that there would be less than 5000 KIA's I would have told them they were smoking hash. We lost more troops in the opening hours of operation overlord than that.
One thing that has me thinking about the 'Day After' this election is the way the political supporters are gonna react if the election doesn't go their way.
I fear all the lawsuits, accusations of voter fraud, machine malfunctions and the other BS that will suddenly surface on 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday November 3, 2004.
It used to be that the second place finishers were gracious in their comments and actions...
What happened between then and now??
:confused:
Both sides all ready have their lawyers ready and waiting with lawsuit papers in hand! Per both FOX and CNN news!!!!Quote:

Just think, this time next week, the media can be telling us who has won, even though half the country won't have voted yet! Then, with egg on their faces, retract THAT, change their minds, retract THAT, and try again to get it right. Why don't they just wait until ALL the votes are counted before they open their yaps this time? (fingers crossed) :eek: ;)
Then the election will be analyzed ad nauseam until the swearing in ceremony in January!
After that no matter what ever happens in the country any where, it will be the President's fault!!!! (no matter who wins):p
John Kerry was asked about the chance of the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series......
He gave the appropriate answer and said something about Manny Ortez having a good game....
Being the Senator of Massachusetts, He picked the right team....
Manny Ortez isn't on the team....I don't think he's a real person...
He meant to say David Ortiz....I am willing to give him a pass on his error!
Now that I know he's human, it makes me feel that Jim Kerry is the right choice for president!!!!
:confused:
Well, I should hope he's spending more time on politics than baseball anyway :p I would be a bit concerned if our President knew all the baseball players by heart, hehe!
I'm not even going to stay up late to see who wins because we probably won't have a winner for several days.
I voted and am done with it. I won't waste my time watching the coverage. Like Pam says, it'll be days before we know, anyway. Hope there's no more voting fiascos to stir up more trouble.
You know.. besides all of this election stuff together... something i'm really sick of..
We were talking about the election in English class yesterday.
The teacher allowed us to speak our opinion on the election, if we wanted to. We all took a class vote -- a majority of the class voted for Kerry, a few for Bush, and one for Nader.
After that, we were able to say why we voted for so-and-so.
I was the ONLY person who came up with a reason/explanation. I was the only child in my classroom able to say why/why not.
I'm so sick of all of these kids in my school bashing Bush, or bashing Kerry, or bashing ANYONE without a reason. I think, if they can't say why or why not they choose/didn't choose a canidate, they shouldn't say anything at all. They're so quick to say "Oh, I hate Bush" or "Oh, I hate Kerry"
There's one girl in particular that i'm not necessarily fond of right now because her loud @$$ mouth keeps running and running about how she hates John Kerry but she's so far been incapable to say why..... "I dunno" is the typical answer. :rolleyes:
Sorry for the little rant.
I agree totally. It's why I don't complain or gripe either way, because I'm still unsure myself who to vote for. I think people like what you're describing (and, I know a lot of them that aren't still "children"), shouldn't vote. Anyway, I don't think it's really a rant, I think it's a valid complaint.Quote:

One lawsuit that will probably never happen.....A Class action suit against the State of Pennsylvania by the troops who have just been disenfranchised to to the Ex DNC chairman and Governor of PA, Ed Rendell. GOV. Rendell has refused to extend the deadline for absentee ballots, which, when combined with the actions of the PA SC, which removed Nader from the ballot, has taken the right to vote away from the people who are defending the rights of everyone in the country. Congradulations to the DNC.
Two soldiers from PA have filed suit from Iraq, demanding an extension to the absentee ballot return time. However, one would think that they would have better things to be doing while in a combat zone than worrying about some political hack trying to keep them from voting.
I heard that one of the space station astronauts was going vote by a special means.....Nasa was going to send him a ballot, and he would send it back....encrypted of course!!
One minor detail I forgot to add in about Gov. Rendell.......
He has sent all the prisons in PA memos reminding the prison staff to make sure the prisoners vote.
Prisoners can vote but not troops? Thank you again, Governor
I didn't think prisoners were allowed to vote! :confused:
