HE DID, HE READ IT ON NATIONAL T.V. TONIGHT, IF YOU’RE IN MY TIME ZONE OR WEST OF ME (I’m in the central time zone)…MAKE SURE YA TUNE IN!!![:)][:D][8D][:p][;)][B)][8][^]
Relax, calm down…[soapbox].[:0][B)][:p]…I’m not crazy about the guy either but we need to stay somewhat “cordial” on the forum. We don’t want Bergie locking up another topic! [;)]
BNSF railfan,
The only to keep this forum free of politics, is to nuke these babies as soon as they get posted. To do so we should make it a point to police ourselves and not allow any political crap to get posted. Dont like Kerry? , WHO CARES - KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! You dont see me spewing out what an empty-headed idiot I find Bu***o be do you?
Its only 6 days to Election Day and so far we’ve managed to keep this forum relativly free of political viewpoints BUT if someone starts espousing an opinion I feel shouldnt be here I’ll make this forum SO HOT Bergie computer will catch fire!!![:(!]
Oh and I firmly beleive George W. Bush can turn this country into what it once was…
Okay, let’s calm down folks! Take a deep breath and breath easy, [sigh] and please let’s try to keep things clean. BTW: I’m for Bush. I’m not old enough to vote yet, but Bush is who I’m going for.
And, relevant to the forum, Mussolini made the trains run on time!
(in fact, he did this with massive injections of ca***o the infrastructure, they were state owned after all, and badly needed it.)
When I visited Italy early in 1974, the trains didn’t run on time, or sometimes run at all, but Italy has had more than fifty “Democratic” governments since 1945.
But do we want an absolute Dictator only so that we don’t have to build contingency time into our travel itineraries?
I believe in the voting process but I hate that whole crap about trying to smear a person and I think its rediculous that politicians will do anything and say anything for re-election and don’t get anything done because they are worried about what the polls say.
I however don’t care what the polls would say, I would be straight with the citizens at the election and tell them what I would do and would not do and tell them exactly why. I would not give out unrealistic forecasts of when I will do it and will not smear my opponent. I would not stand up and debate platforms in the house just the issues and only because I would want to know what needs to be done. I would not tolerate any cabinet ministers screwing around and not answer a question from the opposition.
I believe in honesty (providing it doesn’t violate national security), integrity and intelligence. Moralality and listening. Fairness and humility.
If I don’t have an answer, I will say I don’t know but will find out for you instead of spin-doctoring.
Bottomline is I believe you be in there to do a job (run the country) and not play Miss America popularity contest. That gets nothing done and invites stereotypical insults against the politicians that actually want to do a good job. It also invites corruption and in the end it hurts the voters because they are the ones who inevitably suffer for your poll-preservation junk.
