A few days ago I was checking to see if there were ant popular threads for Al Gore when I ran across one started by a right winger who listed what he considered to be the best reasons not to vote for Al Gore in 2000. His reasons weren't very good to start with but now that we are able to see what has happened we know that junior has been much worse than any of the reasons he gave for not voting for Gore. Here is the thread header:... ________________ Moderated By: blankmind -- (Not Moderated) -- Started: 10/29/2000 6:16:56 PM Revision History - I've concluded that Al Gore will return us to $200 bill/year deficits; jack up interest rates; & be bad for America - Here's my proof - & please note I've voted for Ross Perot & others - I'm an independent - here goes: - Gore came to Congress in '76 - total debt only $654 bill - Gore & his Democrat allies owned Congress & Presidency for 4 years. They took the $654 bill debt; went on a spending spree; & handed incoming Prez Reagan a debt of almost $1 trill - Gore & Democrats forced Prez Reagan & later Bush to accept massive spending increases (I do fault both for not standing up to the Democrats) - In '92, Clinton/Gore got elected & it was 1976 all over again. From '92 to '94, debt went from $4 trill to $4.7 trillion. (Democrats owned Congress & Presidency) - In '94 Republicans took back Congress for the first time in 40 years. Immediately, Clinton vetoed spending bills & Clinton shut down the Gov't - In '2000, due to Republicans such as Trent Lott & Dennis Hastert, we will close about breakeven. - Republicans & Bush: Read my lips: you're doing a good job on the debt. I trust you to fix soc security & medicare. You have my vote on Nov 7, 2000 - P.S. - Gore's latest promise is not to add more employees to the Federal Payroll. Yet he's proposed almost 300 new programs. Gore's record is one of racking up debt; he's a serial exaggerator; & nothing Gore says can be beieved _______________________________ So after listing all of these reasons not to vote for Gore what does this guy say that Bush has been much worse than any of them I wondered. I wrote him a message asking him what he thought of his boy now, check out his answer. Check out his answer. Message 22495676 Is blankmind the same as emptybrain?

Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God (* Sounds like the religious rightwing trusting the military-oil-industrial rightwing) Jun 5, 8:31 AM (ET) KIEV (Reuters) - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on Monday. "The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said. "A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery." The incident, Sunday evening when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.
