AS, I'm going to only tell you this once. If you're mature enough you will understand. Stop calling everyone who disagrees with your views a "bushie". If you can't play nice then I'm going to ask you to leave. Remember, it only makes YOU look silly, petty and immature. John Kerry is just another politician with his hands out and don't you forget it!

Kerry is going to have to fund his activities between now and the convention, at which time his federal funding for the general election will become available. Where is that money going to come from? It will be interesting to look at his future donor lists. Food for thought. The Democratic convention ends on July 29, 2004. Kerry gets his $74 million. The Republican convention ends on September 2, 2004. Bush does not get his money until the end of the convention. Of course, Bush is still working on his $100 million plus. Kerry gets a bump from the convention. How much of that $74 million does he spend, knowing that Bush will get a bump coming out of New York. Whatever Kerry spends in August, Bush will probably be able to match it from his $100 million and still leave his $74 million intact. If I were Kerry, I would take August off and go to the Olympics.

Message 19856884 Say, Ms. Freedom-of-speech, why do you put that behind tsig's walls? Scared? For instance, look at the current Bush bills. All chockful of pork, but hard to vote against becuse there are some needed elements there too. And you are chockful of s**. Do you think barrel rolling started in 2001? Back in 1999, Kerry also warned CLinton and Bush that the real threat to the US was not rogue nations but small terror cells striking within our borders.* Prove it. Russia was miffed by Bush and went ahead with a new nuclear program, missiles capable of skirting our defenses. Do you have the wit of a snail? We never did have much nuclear defense. Remember ABM Treaty? The whole Cold War was based on MAD. Look it up. . The last thing we need is a enw arms race with someone who's supposed to be our friend. or any arms race at all. Oh, I don't know. Looked at objectively, you got the modern world out of that arms race. Transistors? Single transistors used to cost $250+ in current dollars and the only customers were the military and NASA. They (mostly DOD) funded the R&D that led to cheap electronics that led to this internet you're on. Not Al Gore. Cheap worldwide communications? Depends on satellites. Guess who did that? NASA, sort of, but the military really pushed them and space flight for its own needs. Do you know anything at all? Hey, have you gotten the banned list from tsig yet? Be GLAD to compare it to any of mine. Oh yeah, the questions: Message 19852643
