In 2003, Chicago had 599 murders....

MY GOD! That means more Americans are dying IN CHICAGO, than in Iraq.

Doesn't that scare anyone? I am going to start protesting America's occupation of Chicago until we can figure out a PEACEFUL way to stop needless American deaths.

Who will join me?

I just heard today that the new bin Laden tape says that any state that votes for Bush will be targeted in the next wave of terrorist attacks... is this true?

Yeah, they think that they have translated it to say that, but nobody is taking it seriously. On that same tape he also "whines" about his disappointment with the lack of violence in the recent Afghan elections. He also whines about how his infrastructure has been severely affected because of Bush.

Hey Tracy and Jeff, I am in too- Maybe we can get France and Germany to help out as well-

Uh, yeah. Good luck with that.
Where do I sign up to privately boycot any action in return for some bribe money? (oil for food) I could use a little extra pocket money.

You'll have to contact Bill Clinton (Uh oh, Conspiracy Theory

OBL has now made it public that he endorses Kerry for president. In fact, he has threatened to commit terror attacks in states that go to Bush.

Isnt that special.

OBL feels that Kerry would be the best candidate to further his cause, so who does that mean is the best candidate to stop that cause? Bush maybe? Pretty simple logic.

That's way over about 45% of peoples heads.

It's a good thing we aren't fighting for our independence like we were 200+ years ago. We would loose with people that would vote for Kerry. Sorry but sometimes the truth hurts.

Something a lot of people overlook in an election is the judicial system and how the elected officials affect that. There may be as many as 3 supreme court judges to leave office in the next 4 years. The president nominates this position for senate approval. Typically the president nominates appointees with the same values as they have. Most of Bush's nominations have been blocked by a minority senate who have been filibustering a vote and the wimpy republicans in office have let them get away with it. The choice voters make for president has a side effect of who gets nominated. If Bush is elected, you will get nominees who believe the constitution is the foundation for laws made by the congress. If Kerry is elected, you will get nominees who think the constitution is a living breathing document that can be changed by the will of the majority. Also who is elected for the senate is who votes for these judicial nominations. The senate election is more important than a house election. We really need to repeal the amendment that states senators are elected rather than appointed by the state but that isn't going to happen.
