A bit of a surprise, but I think he was under the impression his president would lose. From what I saw on the Kerry-Edwards website just before the election, a lot of democrats respected him. Which, of course, is bad... :rolleyes:
And he never knew how to say his name properly. IT'S "COLLIN", FOO'. :p
He should run for president.Quote:

Not gonna happen.
>>A bit of a surprise,<<

He's not going to run. He's considered it before, and decided against it because of the assassination likelihood.
I will paypal you $50 if he announces his candidacy for President for the '08 election.
Wow, did someone threaten him? Damn, America really isn't ready are they?Quote:

IIRC, he decided not to run last time when his wife pointed out "If you're the first black President, you'll be the first assassinated black President".
I guess that makes sense. not wanting to flame, but bush did win again. and to be honest not many intelligent people voted for him. he got a lot of those redneck states and bible thumping places in the south. Not too kind to blacks are they. Guess they wouldn't want to see a black prez in office. he'd be a dead prez.
kinda sad, the stupidity of it all, but hey bush did win.
>>not wanting to flame<<
and then,
>>and to be honest not many intelligent people voted for him. he got a lot of those redneck states and bible thumping places in the south<<
yeah...
well, I voted for Bush, and many people, whom I consider intelligent, voted for him as well....
:D does this mean we aren't friends anymore?Quote:

edit:
I've been seeing more and more of these stories questioning the voting machines.

I was wondering if the story was getting much mainstream media attention.

Yeah, I remember the IQ test we were all forced to take before we voted.
I thought the vote WAS the IQ test.
PS you failed.
What have I ever done that makes you think I support Bush in any way? I sure as hell didn't vote for him, and neither did the majority of my state.
But hey, sweeping generalizations ahoy!
>>I sure as hell didn't vote for him
are you sure?

Seems some counties had a >200% turn out.
I realize it's difficult for you not to be a condescending jerk in threads like this, but yes, I'm sure that if my vote didn't go for Kerry, the votes of my state did.
Woah there..........
I was, pardon the pun, yanking your chain.
You did read how the IQ score graph was a hoax from 2000?
I'm gonna walk away and pretended I never posted this thread. Man, me and Clyde are both impaired today, I guess.
I've seen that posted with seriousness several times before, that's why I was mad. I assumed (rightly, I guess) you were smarter than that.
good thing I read all the replies before I posted........ :o
