It affects me only in a negative way. I hope it dies so I can stop paying into it. I'll handle my own retirement planning, thank you very much.

More abstract than the fucking public college you are undoubtedly attending, yes. Guess who subsidizes that place? Guess what, its a public college which has probably had tuition skyrocket the past 3 years before Democrats like Grey Davis were busy spending money on bullshit. Or its more abstract than the cop you call if you get into an accident. Or the road you drive on to go to the mall. Etc. etc.

Besides, we've known Social Security is doomed to failure for at least 20 years now. So, dude, youre wrong. Cut your losses and move on.

I voted.
Bush, Peter King, Your Momma.

I flipflopped and voted for Kerry (Republican everywhere else). I decided to trust that Kerry would run to the center after being elected, and thus was more likely to do the good things that he talked about doing (more special forces, hitting Iraq harder, etc) and less likely to do the bad stuff (protectionism, pulling troops out). I ignored the message electing Kerry would send to the world and my distaste for most of Kerry's supporters.

Despite agreeing with Bush's stated positions on almost every topic, the administration has fucked up too deeply and too often for me to support it.

God help us.

I voted!

He's not dumb. He couldn't possibly justify pulling our troops out prematurely any more than Bush could.

And hey, if he does, fuck him, too. Bring on the challenger in 2008.

A couple of years too late. I thought about it some more, also, and I guess Kerry is probably more likely to get something done in the Sudan.

She's like, "But we can do good things with them!"

Is she still in highschool or something?

That's pathetic. Kerry will run just as far to the center after the election as Clinton did. Both of them pretended to be moderate during the campaign. Kerry, like Clinton, will return to being wildly liberal the next day, if he is victorious. There is abolutely nothing out there, not even from either side of Kerry's mouth, that would make a rational person think otherwise.

Last night while driving around we saw two sad looking guys standing at the corner of University Avenue holding Ralph Nader signs. I drove by honked my horn and yelled " YEAH, TERMI-NADER FUCKING ROCKS ARGHHHH". They smiled and waved back. I think I made their night, so I have done my good deed for the week.

I was thinking though why do people stand on street corners holding these signs? Do they get paid or are politics majors required to do this or what? What a monumental waste of time........of course some of the chicks holding up " The Only Bush I Trust Is My Own" signs did look pretty hot ...
