Scumbria, one of my old pals from flame wars past has taken to calling GWB "Duh", from the preferred Dubya form of W. Always gives me a subliminable chuckle. Cheers, Dan.

Scumbia Re..<<I'm really sick of the "I don't care how stupid he is as long as he has good advisors" attitude.<<<< Who are you talking about here. I think Al's energy plan (emptying up the 2 day reserve) is really stupid. We need to an energy plan to get rid of those geenhouse gases you claim to detest. A real enviromentalist would jump on the opportunity of high energy prices to do something. Selling the reserve to get votes makes a lie of his enviromentalists claims; not to mention how spineless he looks.

Dear Scumbria: You just like lying Gore. He would not help us during our gas price crisis this May. A "high gas prices does NOT justify using the SPR!". Now that it hits his base in the Northeast coast, it's fully justified! That's BS and you know it. Do not listen to the experts that say any releases from the SPR will take about 6 months to show up no matter what! "My mothers drugs cost three times what my dogs ones do." Wrong, especially if, they are the generic ones (its the other way)! His vision for the future of the US changes every two hours (that is apparently his attention span). Many here in the Midwest will not forgive him for the stance shift between last May and now. I remember Clinton doing the same when the Midwest had the big floods on the Mississippi and Missouri a few years ago. We did not get the same amount of grants that seems to be given to California whenever the ground moves too much. Make them relocate to stable ground (like our people were required to). Too bad if, that means going to Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, or North Dakota. I am sick of this we are "taken for granted" mentality of this administration. And it's going to hurt Gore this November. Where was this administration during the low prices? Did they fill up the SPR with 409 million barrels when it was $10 to $12 a barrel? If you want to use the SPR to trim high prices, you must first "invest" in soaking up over supply. They both like to spend but, not earn. Pete

I'm really sick of the "I don't care how stupid he is as long as he has good advisors" attitude. And how do you think he got good advisers- A phone book and darts? Would you invest if Dirk Myer started his own CPU company? PS- Does Gore have good advisers?

'm really sick of the "I don't care how stupid he is as long as he has good advisors" attitude. And I am sick of government officals and politicians thinking they are so much smarter then most people that they should make more and more of the decisions, regulate more, tax more, spend more... I don't think Bush is stupid. I imagine if you had press follow you around all the time and were asked questions about tons of different topics with no time to prepare and people trying to trip you up then we might have a few examples of dumb mistakes you have made was well. I am sure I would make some. I know Al Gore has. One thing that stands out about Al Gore is how much he has completly changed his public positions on issues like gun control, abortion, soft money, and many other issues. I understand peoples opinions can change over the years, even to a complete 180. But he changed his positions so much on so many issues and then does not acknowlege that he ever held a different opinion. He visciously attacks people who held opinions that he used to publicly support. The main reason I would oppose Gore is because I disagree with most of his political opinions, but even if I did not disagree with him that much, his extreme flipflops on the issues would concern me.
