        Looks like the big problem was seniors as a result of his stance on moral issues. BTW, WHY ARE WE TALKING POLITICS HERE (in the lounge) AGAIN?? John

            y'know what really bums me out? Nader got practically nothing this time around. 1%, tops, from what i saw. Understand, i don't much like the guy, but he was getting some (at least noticeable) numbers back in '00, and it was good to see, given that the two primary choices were terrible. This time around, the primary choices were, if anything, worse, but Nader gets nada. Down right discouraging... :sigh:

                        Probably because people felt that this time their vote is more important, due to the closeness of the race. And Nader isn't going to win. It's just that simple. So, people threw their vote in with someone who had a chance (B or K). The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.

                          Yeah, prolly... i guess i just liked watching the Dems squirm after the last election, watching the realization sink in that they'd moved the party platform so far to the center, that a noticable portion of their voters had gone looking elsewhere. The last four years were sooo entertaining... both from the guy in office, and the supporters of the guy who didn't quite make it. Gonna be pretty boring now, what with a nice clean election and all...

We're heading towards soapbox territory there... ;) In the beginning, yes they were the same God. Although I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, it seems that the definitions/descriptions have drifted apart over the approx 6500yrs since then. It doesn't really surprise me, considering the vastly different beliefs of the two religions (assuming only Chrisianity and Islam here...).

                                        ummm... the democrats moved their platform to the center? What planet are you on? Kerry is one of the most far left candidates the democrats have put up since Dukakis. Their platform is so far left that they are losing all their support in the US. How far left are you to think the democrats are in the center? roflmao

                                          Thanks for the concern. I was a bit busy creating a .NET product for my company - managed to get a demo out for a fair and could work "normal" now. Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.
