| This is worse than a republican |
|
I can understand republicans voting for their party. What I cannot understand is how a Dem can be for Bush. You must be of complete idiocy to think Bush will be better.

You know both French and Spanish?
Spanish was my first language, I wish I could learn French...I plan to try if I ever get some free time...

| 14. Actualmente, falo Português melhor que os dois outros |
|
Do you understand Portuguese? That's my favorite language. I used to speak German, but it has gotten very bad since I haven't needed to speak it for over 13 years. I'm sure you can learn French if Spanish is your first language. Maybe if you like Portuguese you can try that first? It is a very beautiful language and I found that it helped me understand Italian and French better. The sad thing is, I cannot speak Spanish very well now. Cada vez eu abra a boca, Português saia... and I lived in Costa Rica on and off for five years! Ahora, (depois que vivir no Brasil) mis amigos Ticos siempre estan riendose a mi porque hablo como un Gallego. ¡Ridículo!

| 5. You can't be a Democrat and a Bush supporter! |
|
Are we talking about people like Zell Miller?? At best I would classify him as an opportunist.
This makes as much sense to me as a Feminist who likes Ann Coulter.

| 15. I've heard of a few Dems who think a vote for Kerry is a vote against |
|
Hillary Clinton, and they want her to run in 2008 so they'd rather see Kerry defeated.
Then there's this group who think the nation can only get better if it suffers more, so they vote for Bush.
Then of course are those pretending to be Democrats or liberals...

| 16. Laissez les bontemps rouller!! Fellow rat from Louisiana.... |
|
I am an independant. I didnt vote for Bush last time...I think his campaign slogan should be "lets really win in 2004".....But enough of that. I would vote for Kerry reguardless.....Bush is a liar, and completely out of touch with planet earth.

Unless you and the other poster both attended the Virginia Military Institute and are "Brother Rats".
Or were you responding to "Swamp Rat" from Louisiana?

| 17. I've only "heard" of this on Right Wing radio shows like Limbaugh and |
|
Hannity, never from an actual Democrat. I have never met any actual Democrat who would vote for Bush in this election just because of some theoretical prospect that Hilary could run in 2008 if Kerry lost. Have YOU?
Most real Democrats think so much damage is being done to the country under this administration that it is an absolute imperative that they must be stopped just so that the damage: economic, reputation, dead soldiers, constitutional, can stop and begin to be repaired. A Kerry election in NOV is the single most important thing on the national agenda now.
What do YOU think?

garden-variety conservative/republican. Having someone consciously vote in a manner that is detrimental to their nation for any reason is rather disgusting, I think.

actually knew of anyone, claiming to be a Democrat, who thought this way. I've only heard this as an idiotic fantasy on Right Wing radio which is still occasionally repeated.

| 27. Personally no. I only read about it in a newspaper. |
|
Some community college student actually wanted to clear Kerry out of the competition for Hillary, according to this article. Seemed suspicious, actually.

May I refer you to the words of The Enlightened Frank Zappa? Dumb All Over (from the 1981 album "You Are What You Is")
Whoever we are Wherever we're from We shoulda noticed by now Our behavior is dumb And if our chances Expect to improve It's gonna take a lot more Than tryin' to remove The other race Or the other whatever From the face Of the planet altogether
They call it THE EARTH Which is a dumb kinda name But they named it right 'Cause we behave the same... *We are dumb all over* Dumb all over, Yes we are Dumb all over, Near 'n far Dumb all over, Black 'n white People, we is not wrapped tight
Nurds on the left Nurds on the right Religous fanatics On the air every night Sayin' the Bible Tells the story Makes the details Sound real gory 'Bout what to do If the geeks over there Don't believe in the book We got over here
You can't run a race Without no feet 'N pretty soon There won't be no street For dummies to jog on Or doggies to dog on Religous fanatics Can make it be all gone (I mean it won't blow up 'N disappear It'll just look ugly For a thousand years...)
You can't run a country By a book of religion Not by a heap Or a lump or a smidgeon Of foolish rules Of ancient date Designed to make You all feel great While you fold, spindle And mutilate Those unbelievers From a neighboring state
TO ARMS! TO ARMS! Hooray! That's great Two legs ain't bad Unless there's a crate They ship the parts To mama in For souvenirs: two ears *(Get Down!)* Not his, not hers, *(but what the hey?)* The Good Book says: *("It gotta be that way!")* But their book says: *"REVENGE THE CRUSADES... With whips 'n chains 'N hand grenades..."* TWO ARMS? TWO ARMS? Have another and another Our God says: *"There ain't no other!"* Our God says *"It's all okay!"* Our God says *"This is the way!"*
It says in the book: *"Burn 'n destroy...* *'N repent, 'n redeem* *'N revenge, 'n deploy* *'N rumble thee forth* *To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side* *'Cause they don't go for what's in the book* *'N that makes 'em BAD* *So verily we must choppeth them up* *And stompeth them down* *Or rent a nice French bomb* *To poof them out of existance* *While leaving their real estate just where we need it* *To use again* *For temples in which to praise OUR GOD* *("Cause he can really take care of business!")*
And when his humble TV servant With humble white hair And humble glasses And a nice brown suit And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls Tells us our God says It's okay to do this stuff Then we gotta do it, 'Cause if we don't do it, We ain't gwine up to *hebbin!* (Depending on which book you're using at the time...Can't use theirs... it don't work ...it's all lies...Gotta use mine...) Ain't that right? That's what they say Every night... Every day... Hey, we can't really be dumb If we're just following *God's Orders* Hey, let's get serious... God knows what he's doin' He wrote this book here An' the book says: *He made us all to be just like Him," so... If we're dumb... Then God is dumb... *(An' maybe even a little ugly on the side)*
