The Candidates' Idiotic Debate Over War On Terror

I don't like your anology since PH was not remotely a 'terrorist' attack. It was actually a preemptive defensive attack to previent our navy from attacking them in the coming months.
Bush going into a classroom after he found out we were under attack should be considered treason and that single act completely disqaulifies him from being considered more than a COMPLETE FAILURE at being Commander in Chief, even if he doesn't completely mess up the rest of his tenure. posted 07/01/2008 at 10:58:03

perot is the only reason clinton was ever elected, if not for a third party candidate no dem would have been president since 1976. "

Bush would have to have gotten 70% of Perots voters to win in 1992 , and in 1996 Clinton got more votes than Dole and Perot combined.

Gore on the other hand, needed NONE of Naders votes in 2000 in the popular vote which he won by over 400,000 votes. AND if he had gotten 10% of the butterfly ballets in Florida OR 1% of Naders votes (amazing - one lowsy percent), the Supremes would have not been able to appoint Bush. posted 06/22/2008 at 17:28:04

The record is Chicago to NY on 1 tank ~70 mpg posted 06/06/2008 at 16:18:30

Thanks for the laugh. I have to leave now to go to the bank to get some gas money for the weekend. They may have to raise the $300 limit on the ATM's now.

What does the big truck guy (F350 / H2) with the 40 gallon tank do when it cost $200 to fill up?

I would feel the same way Don. I wouldn't buy now, but I'm not going through my 401k to make sure I'm divested either. posted 06/06/2008 at 16:11:13

Is it still the tipping point if the market went down 395 points?

At least I can still get gasoline for only $4.60 a gallon for regular near my house. posted 06/06/2008 at 16:09:43
