Yeah.. I found it on 2 sites on a Google news search (both are the same Talon news story). But it was posted on NRO in September of 2003. For something proclaimed relevant. It's not really going anywhere.

I'm in the middle of 1 competitive state race, and a House and Senate race with both sides doing ads The Governor's race is between 33 year old Matt Blunt ®, who is the Secretary of State and Claire McCaskill (D), the State Auditor, who beat Governor Bob Holden back in August. There's ads for Blunt which talk about how McCaskill has done stuff that has sent jobs and people to Kansas while declaring "She should run for Governor of Kansas". The State Dems have an ad with a Matt Blunt 'job interview' (seen here: http://www.missouridems.org ) The Senate race is between Kit Bond ®, who is on his way to re-election and Nancy Farmer. Nancy's done two ads so far. One with a Kit Bond bobblehead doll. The House Race is between Emanuel Cleaver (D), former Mayor of Kansas City, and Jeanne Patterson ®, who has money and is making her first run for office. Patterson was the CEO, I think, of a corporation named Cerner. She went negative on Cleaver, claiming he raised taxes (which technically he was unable to do as Mayor) and bringing up some other stuff. Cleaver had ads which claimed Cerner was outsourcing and claiming that "money can't buy experience". The Cleaver/Patterson debate had Cleaver ask Patterson how a bill becomes a law. So yes.. she is running for Congress, and she was unable to correctly explain how a bill becomes a law. I guess she expects "on the job training" in the House. But Patterson/Cleaver won't be close. Missouri politics: "It's not that exciting" how about in your states?

One law I want to mess with is the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. They divide all regulated substances into five categories. Marijuana is Schedule I Cocaine is Schedule II Meth is Schedule II Think about that

In 2002, Kerry was the first Massachusetts Senator to ever come up for re-election without major party opposition, he won by an 80%-18% margin He did beat Bill Weld by a 52%-45% margin (almost 200,000 votes) in 1996 My mistake... thought the Weld election was in 2002 and not in 1996. No real huge deal. Weld sorta disappeared after 1997 though. When Jesse Helms held up his nomination to be Ambassador to Mexico.

Should they pay their taxes too? I'd imagine that if they don't get representation and all, then they shouldn't face taxation. One flaw with all that is that there's no real standard to eliminate "morons" from the voting rolls. Considering that literacy tests and poll taxes are unconstitutional and all the other subjective stuff. I'd imagine even you'd concede that there's good reasons to be undecided. Like trying to figure out who the better representative would be. Or if you have some issues you care about, but both candidates favor something you like, while being against other things you like. As for having a reason to vote. A lot of people just really don't care. It'll stay that way for a long time. Although i'm in favor of moving election days to a Saturday, or having a holiday for the elections (while still having them on Tuesdays). But those are cosmetic changes.

My philosophy is "If you're not voting, they're not listening" What's wrong with people choosing who represents them? I guess because they listen to the wrong music, they shouldn't be allowed to vote. Okay Mike..

according to Drudge (who will be recieving an asswhupping if this is wrong. If it's wrong, the mods are free to change the topic title to "Christopher Reeve not dead")

I finally registered to vote at age 27 and am not afraid to admit I'm going to write in a vote for rapper Lil' Jon. That's how much I dislike both Dem and GOP candidates. Lil' Jon is 35?

and the RtV response http://www.blog.rockthevote.com/2004_10_10...779237957217297

Nothing yet. If they start pulling people over for going 5 over, I am fucked.

Shouldn't we have had some reason to suspect a quick victory over the Iraqi army? I recall hearing that they were surrendering to TV trucks in 1991. (The Republican Guard was more formidible.. and didn't they sorta dissolve around April 9th?)

from the "Spin Room" thread on Fark.com.. sorta related

I wasn't getting drunk. But I don't drink. If this election keeps going like this.. I might have a reason to start doing some narcotic

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...n_el_pr/nader_1 Well.. so much for that.. it is a shame that the Flintstones won't get their chance to vote for Nader, although Fred's probably just a Republican anyways.

if Jesse Jackson and Ann Coulter had a show together, it'd be entertaining. Until one murders another.

this Jesse/Coulter split-screen is creepy

it's coming up.. just turn there now and wait for it

Coulter v. Jackson should top Coulter v. Begala (I doubt they'll be in the same place)

Coming up later on CNN: Ann Coulter and Jesse Jackson.. at the same time (supposedly)

and a quickpoll on CNN says 52-39 Kerry (out of 511 voters) B/K I: 54-36 Kerry (if I recall correctly) B/K II: 47-45 Kerry B/K III: 52-39 Kerry and.. CBS News Poll Kerry 39 Bush 25 ABC News Kerry 42 Bush 41 internals: 38% GOP 30% Dem 28% Independent

it's called a joke Mike. Says a bit when only six words out of that speech are strongly disputed.

Well, it answers a lot of questions about you. Oh.. really.. Which questions would those be? downright evil.. do you need a tissue? there's some stuff that is getting close to the line. Trying to say I agree with everything said over there is a fallacy. The same would go for anybody posting here. The same would go for people posting on a site like LGF. So on and so forth. Just the Fox News poll once. I'm not really out to do anything creative.
