Re: setting the tone.

Thank you for reinforcing my point....It doesn't actually bother me. I is an amusement. While you and your octoberfest buddies are guffawing at ancient internet jokes and doodling the word "dubya" evey chance you get it takes your entire argument out of serious consideration and lays smack dab in infantile insignifigance. How can you be taken seriously?

On the second poit, "cutting the deficit" you agree with me again. It's curious though, that you felt the need to try your hand at soothsaying at the end with this; "But then you and your fellow Bush supporters would have accused him of waffling and flip flopping, wouldn't you?".
In fact you have no way of knowing that such would be the case.

On the third point, "taxes et al" I thought I made it clear that my biggest personal issue is taxes. The national one is clearly security. soory if you got confused by that.

Then in the very last sentence you blow me away when you say this,but we should really start taking a little of the cake away from those who have by far the biggest pieces, wouldn't you agree?"

I most certainly do not agree. redistribution of wealth is something I greatly oppose! This is what Karl Marx tried, it is what is done in places like China, Cuba and North Korea. I am certain you are not in favor of redistribution on such a scale but that is what it could easily come down to....I will NOT support it.

And finally, the Senate record.

Not for nothing Jim, but that is one of the main reasons only 2 sitting senators have ever been elected president in the entire history of this country.

Senator Kerry should run for Governor, he'd have better luck. ;\)
