http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2439555 well.. I guess we'll see who'll win between "get bigger glasses" and "potent beer rules".

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/nation/2848578 Hmm.. Interesting.

I'm not a fan of this AG work. But I wish Ashcroft the best with his health. (In the interests of saying nice stuff about Ashcroft. #1 - we're sorta in the same denomination of Christianity. Meaning that I went to Assembly of God youth group stuff for a few years. #2 - To say he "lost to a dead guy" is unfair. The whole Mel Carnahan thing had to be difficult to deal with in the first place. Mel won the election. Ashcroft being mocked for losing to a "dead guy" is inaccurate. It's not like his opponent is some unknown. Mel Carnahan was the Governor of Missouri for over 7 years.)

EDIT: James Baker probably knows the difference between a thread on him and an EV thread oops

It wouldn't surprise me if James Baker was an asshole.

File this under "polls to make you start drinking": Unless the undecided voters (that vote) don't break for Kerry by at least a majority (which would be weird), then a draw isn't that great for the President. Especially compared to a four point lead. I wish that John Kerry wins this election in just a night. I'd prefer getting to sleep by 1am on election night. (although, I think I went to bed at 1am in 2000, that whole thing is something I don't want to repeat, ever)

http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/003036.html If you take polls too seriously.. you'll probably start drinking. Never fall for a poll until you know the Party ID breakdown. and there's this.. Either way.. it's close. Or a conspiracy (oh yeah.. Nader will not get 1%, if you want more details, ask)

probably

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/14/...ain649305.shtml The Government has such a way of not getting the best deal

The TSA is under the Department of Homeland Security (as of 2003) and it was created in November 2001 but that doesn't mean you're wrong on that second comment.

Part of a conspiracy, to avoid attention from her non-taxpaying ways! http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=38258 I'm sure there'll be something else to release soon. "Mrs. Kerry.. what is your shoe size?" "Why do you want to hide this info?" "Teresa, are you really 66?" "Release your birth certificate!"

hmm.. you did ignore something.. I'd say in other news.. you don't have to pay taxes on tax exempt bonds. I guess government bonds operate out of tax shelters now. I guess our state bonds now work out of the Cayman Islands. And you ignore my point: She has every right in the world to shield her money from taxes. It just makes her and John insufferable hypocrites for decrying the rich not paying "their fair share" when they, in fact, don't pay their fair share. If you want the rich to pay "their fair share", then don't protect your income. How much income would Teresa Heinz Kerry have without those Government Bonds? 2.2 million dollars. What rate did she pay on that $2.2 million dollars? 34.9% You seem to think that there's a magic power that Teresa holds in which she just says money is tax exempt due to bonds. That $2.7M came from bonds, in which she did not have to pay taxes. Here's some more info on tax-exempt bonds: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:fiSYk...empt+bond&hl=en http://www.investorwords.com/4897/tax_exempt_bond.html But I guess THK should pay taxes on tax-exempt bonds too. It's not like they wouldn't refund her the money. So to prove her point. She should overpay her taxes. And if she did that, they would give her a refund. Wow.. that would really be meaningful Nope --- pay the "fair share" on the $5M she made. It's pretty freaking pointless to pay taxes on tax-exempt bonds. The Government will still give her a refund if she paid 940K (a 34.9% rate) on a tax-exempt bond. If you can find something where either THK or John Kerry claimed tax-exempt bonds are a loophole. Go find it. http://www.law.upenn.edu/fac/dshakow/fedtax/class38.htm Then again.. I'd imagine you already know a lot about tax-exempt bonds. Yep.. with the hidden tax-exempt bond loophole that millions know about. *golf clap* I think it's STUNNING that Grover Norquist was wrong on this. That wasn't from Grover http://www.atr.org/pressreleases/2004/pr-k...axes-9-7-04.htm No.. it wasn't from Grover at all. Just from his group. Which issued a press release. Which quoted him. It's different. #1 - John and Teresa file seperate returns. #2 - If you combine their taxable incomes, they paid at a rate of 33.7% #2b - But if you combine their total income and divide it by their taxes, ignoring the amount of tax-exempt stuff, they paid at a 16.3% rate. Higher than Norquist claims. #2c - Kerry paid 90,575 on an income of 346,664, a rate of 26.7%

If Thune loses and Daschle is DQed, the spot would be filled by a person chosen by the Governor of South Dakota. who is a Republican, who would probably appoint Thune

Exactly, I don't believe you ought to need to be aware of the issues and the positions to vote. It's simply a constitutionally protected right, like the right to bear arms. People should vote simply because they can and want to, just like why people say they should be able to own certain types of guns simply because they can and want to. JOTW, you're dealing with people who go as far as advocating a literacy test. Ya know.. the literacy tests that worked back in the South. Well.. by worked, I mean that the literacy test was meant to keep minorities (thought of as uninformed idiots) and poor white people from being able to vote. Nothing like bringing it back. This time, they may apply the same standards too. Ok.. that might be unlikely. Lord forbid you let anybody who dares listen to music you dislike into the politicial process. And tax them too, even if you won't let them vote.

So, if Daschle wins, Thune will try to claim that he's no longer a resident of the state.. So, if he can't win with the voters, he'll try to win on a technicality? Why not bring it up now? It's relevant, and it matters, right? if it's relevant, then wouldn't the voters not like Daschle for doing that? wouldn't they be more inclined not to vote for him? But.. I guess that in a horserace. John Thune is going to hold back, which is always a winning tactic, especially when dealing with a relevant issue

hmm.. you did ignore something.. I'd say in other news.. you don't have to pay taxes on tax exempt bonds. I guess government bonds operate out of tax shelters now.

So yeah.. i've heard just one of their songs (Coin Operated Boy), do they have some other good stuff out there right now? Any thoughts on the band or anything else? I thought the song was good

One thing I'm in favor of is a Line Item Veto amendment. Yes, the actual law was declared unconstitutional, but it's a good idea. I'm sure there's some way to water down parts which would be denounced. Another thing I'd like to see more of is run-off elections in primaries. I've read results from here in Missouri where one candidate gets like 28% of the vote, and gets the nomination. At least have a runoff around. That doesn't apply to the South, the capital of the runoff. I'm sure there's something else, but i'm not able to recall it right now. How about you guys? What do you want to see become law?
