Ok,now this does it. This is unbelievable
I just got back from grocery shopping and while standing in line to check out,right on the very front page of the Globe was Kerry's picture with the headlines: "Sex disease confronts Kerry,could hurt his chances for the Whitehouse". Dammit,why do they always have to do this to a dem candidate? Why is it they can't print this kind of phony charge against KING GEORGE??? :grr: :argh: :mad: I may not have gotten the wording right,but it's close. I was so angry I could hardly function to check out. :grr:

5. I know.....
But I get really tired of seeing our side always tied up in something pertaining with sex,while that little lowlife mental midget is running rampant destroying everything he can that's good for this country. What a country we live in.....no wonder other countries want nothing to do with us.

15. I'm so tired of hearing this old fallacy!
We are NOT better than any country on God's green earth! We have one of the highest infant mortality rates of any industrialized nation. We treat our elderly worse than many other nations. We have more hungry children than many industrialized nations. Corporations run our country. Most of our constitutionally given rights are not really ours, in practice, even BEFORE the Patriot Act. We put more people to death here than many industrialized nations. There is less justice for those in poverty here, including in the courts. Etc., etc., etc.

Don't get me wrong: I love my country. I even love my state (Texas), but this is NOT the best country in the world. Not by a long shot. And it's time we stood up and said that AND to do something about it.

18. there is no one best country
But if I had to pick I'd say Canada

Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the US are candidates, and Costa Rica ain't bad.

23. My girlfriend would agree she lives in Windsor Ont.
Canada:
Infant Mortality: .005 per live birth
Life expectancy : 79
Literacy 97%
Per Capita Income: $29,700
Unemployment: 7.8%

USA:
Infant Mortality: .006 per live births
Life Expectancy: 77
Literacy Rate 97%
Per Capita Income : $36,300
Unemployment: 5.6%

Looks pretty close to me, i'll stay here.

But why does my girlfriend want to live here when we marry?
She hates their health care system and the GST

9. Repukes don't contract any sex diseases...
...they're into abstinence. Their tension releases in other ways, generally involving bombs, missiles, and other phallic symbols.

10. yeah, that's why they all have mistresses
To a rethug, "abstinence" means not getting caught. Ask Neil Bush about "abstinence".

17. Because they saw how the tab that printed the pictures of Bush's
Daughters was "coincidentally" targetted by the Anthrax Assassin.

They wouldn't want to cause such another "coincidence" happening again by running a story not just about the Imperial Daughters, but about the Emperor himself.

20. I just saw this at the supermarket, too....
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 02:51 PM by manco
I laughed and thought about how desperate these guys really are. It's a sad, sad attempt to divert attention away from things like no WMDs (and *'s jokes), failure to heed warnings pre-9/11 and a shitty economy. I don't think it'll see the light of day, and if it did, people probably won't give much of a shit.

21. My Area...
I agree, it's just a rag sheet and not worth buying.
But, on the other hand, I live in deep Republican territory and they don't care if it's true or not. They don't want to take their blinders off about their administration.

They bash Dem's here just to be bashing. Believe me I get alot of flak around here about my politics. Democratic Primary day, we went down about 5:00 that evening to vote and one of the Ladys told me she had only 24 people come to her station the whole day.

In my neck of the woods, if a Dem quietly lets comments go with out retraction or outrage, these people spin it till it's truth. I have had some pretty stupid stuff said to me from people about this candidate or that in the Democratic party.

24. It seems like stuff like this only helped Clinton though.
Plus, Larry Flynt is having some book come out this summer about Bush* too.
