It's Party Time!!! >>Essentially, I think Republicans will give us an oil change; Democrats a tune-up. I think what's needed, particularly where money, power and influence are concerned is an overhaul. I thought John McCain showed some populism on this with his campaign finance reform issue, but I don't think he went far enough. If anything, he managed to give the issue to Gore who chimed in similarly. I think technology is changing the world evermore and the boundaries between nation states will change foremost among citizens beyond the respective governments. What I seek from politics is an astuteness of technology issues coupled to a vision for the betterment of all people instead of a privileged few. It's never my desire in politics to elect the ones who are best connected or major party loyal. In fact, the entirety of George Bush rests more on connections and party loyalty than on substantive issues or in the hopes of meaningful change. Knowing how PR works, and knowing how issues get spoonfed to the public more for convenience than for basis in fact, I don't fall for the gobble-de-gook spooned out via pundits, ads or otherwise. Bush is all gobble-de-gook, all puff and connection--no substance. His very presence and demeanor reminds me more of a state representative than that of a president. A small-scale example which personifies Bush's connectivity is a small snippet in today's New York Daily News which describe Bush's apointment of his longtime good ole' boy oil buddy to head the Treasury. It described how Bush, then a bachelor, used to bring his dirty laundry over to his friend's house so his friend's wife could do it for him. You know what? I don't think much has changed. Of all the candidates in this election, I thought Nader was most in touch with the issues of people, and not the issues of the well-connected. I also believe Nader could have handled the issues of technology. I think Gore comes in second. Both men, in my view, would have made the better appointments in government and in the courts. Bush was a no-show on all of the issues important to me. Given Bush's connections and his favorite status, this made me very anti-Bush and my writing on this thread is so reflective. Given I'm more anti-Bush than pro-my-two-favored candidates (Nader and Gore), I would have voted anti-Bush and likely would have voted for Gore if I had resided in states like Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania where it was close, or Texas or one of the more rural states where Bush was gonna landslide. Luckily, I live in Massachusetts so I had the option of a pro-vote rather than an anti-vote. Lots of folks write to me this thread with a chipshot like, "Partytime, you're just angry...get over it, the election's done," etc. No, I'm not angry, and there's nothing I have to get over with. You see, rarely does my candidate ever win an election. I'm used to this. But it doesn't deter my opinion, nor should it. Finally, Ish, there's method behind the madness--LOL!>> You want to Change The World?? Great!!! That's why I'm here. But let's K.I.S.S. It's impossible to slice, dice, carve up and divide THE TRUTH. Impossible. Can't be done. For TRUTH is just ENERGY. And there's two types of ENERGY. One creates. The other destroys. If you are advocating a truth which confronts and destroys you are advocating negative energy. If you are advocating a truth which forgives, supports, loves and builds you are advocating positive energy. Negative energy is derived when we seek truth OUTSIDE of ourselves and conditionally share it with others. Positive energy is derived when we seek truth INSIDE ourselves and unconditionally share it with others. Let's compare notes. Just know everyone, by definition, will ALWAYS end up at the same spot where we all began: THE TRUTH. But we cannot define or control the truth. Just experience it and freely share it. Peace. GO!!

Lots of words but why didn't you ever stand up for Nadar? Your approach will guarantee The Green Party will never have a chance.

I thought that Al Gore was talking about taking our cars away and forcing us to ride bicycles?

<Essentially, I think Republicans will give us an oil change; Democrats a tune-up. I think what's needed, particularly where money, power and influence are concerned is an overhaul. > You obviously think like a liberal democrat, despite being a greenlib. Obsessed with money, power and influence. <I thought John McCain showed some populism on this with his campaign finance reform issue, but I don't think he went far enough. If anything, he managed to give the issue to Gore who chimed in similarly.> Funny how all the candidates(McCain, gore and nader) who siezed on the populist campaign finance reform issue were losers in the end. <I think technology is changing the world evermore and the boundaries between nation states will change foremost among citizens beyond the respective governments.> How intuitive. Duuhhh <What I seek from politics is an astuteness of technology issues coupled to a vision for the betterment of all people instead of a privileged few. It's never my desire in politics to elect the ones who are best connected or major party loyal. In fact, the entirety of George Bush rests more on connections and party loyalty than on substantive issues or in the hopes of meaningful change. > Open your eyes. What have liberal policies done for the so-called disadvantaged for the last 40 years? They're still in the same place they started. Even more so, since the liberal entitlements required the destruction of the two-parent family and the accumulation of wealth. <Knowing how PR works, and knowing how issues get spoonfed to the public more for convenience than for basis in fact, I don't fall for the gobble-de-gook spooned out via pundits, ads or otherwise. Bush is all gobble-de-gook, all puff and connection--no substance. His very presence and demeanor reminds me more of a state representative than that of a president.> And I suppose goron possessed the substance to be Prez. What a joke. He had to hire a woman to teach him how to be a man. Bush doesn't appear afraid to call a spade a spade, i.e., telling the nation the economy sucks. <A small-scale example which personifies Bush's connectivity is a small snippet in today's New York Daily News which describe Bush's apointment of his longtime good ole' boy oil buddy to head the Treasury. It described how Bush, then a bachelor, used to bring his dirty laundry over to his friend's house so his friend's wife could do it for him. You know what? I don't think much has changed.> Truly small scale. <Of all the candidates in this election, I thought Nader was most in touch with the issues of people, and not the issues of the well-connected. I also believe Nader could have handled the issues of technology. I think Gore comes in second. Both men, in my view, would have made the better appointments in government and in the courts. Bush was a no-show on all of the issues important to me. Given Bush's connections and his favorite status, this made me very anti-Bush and my writing on this thread is so reflective.> Nader is whacky and his vote totals showed how in touch he was with the issues people cared about. People in this country have been conditioned to think about one thing, money in their wallets. It's a shame that the media has so brainwashed the populace into believing that the Reagan era was the decade of greed when it is so painfully obvious that clinton's entire personna oozed of greed. <Given I'm more anti-Bush than pro-my-two-favored candidates (Nader and Gore), I would have voted anti-Bush and likely would have voted for Gore if I had resided in states like Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania where it was close, or Texas or one of the more rural states where Bush was gonna landslide. Luckily, I live in Massachusetts so I had the option of a pro-vote rather than an anti-vote.> A painfully obvious admission. <Lots of folks write to me this thread with a chipshot like, "Partytime, you're just angry...get over it, the election's done," etc. No, I'm not angry, and there's nothing I have to get over with. You see, rarely does my candidate ever win an election. I'm used to this. But it doesn't deter my opinion, nor should it. > The only reason you didn't get more accurate descriptions of your opinions was because SI Bob would have thrown us off if we had accurately described them. By the way, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.knc

<font color=red>LIBTRASH HALL OF FAME LIFETIME INDUCTEE OUTRAGEOUS HYPOCRITE AWARD Partytime: "I never had sex with this woman - So much for a free press!" "Anyone on the right got a reasonable definition as to what freedom of the press actually is?" Message 18761519 "Sorry, Vitas. But 'intellectual honesty' requires your banishisment from this thread." Message 18711053 Alleged offending post: Message 18710695 Seems that Libtrash cannot withstand criticism of his fundamental failure in trying to prevent war. "But Kary Moss, executive director of the ACLU's Michigan branch, said that instead of being open to debate and discussion Dearborn High School 'chose to ban political speech.'" Message 18763146 It seems that instead of being open to debate and discussion PartyTime chose to ban political speech on the STOP THE WAR thread. ROFLMAO Message 18764086
