WOW.


Tell me, how much worse could things have been under Gore or Kerry?
What could have possibly been worse with either of those two in office?
Please, I would really like to know how a vote for Bush was anything but a disaster. And I would LOVE to know how we could possibly be worse off under Kerry or Gore.

Yeah, but instead of detaining me in a dark room and torturing me to get information out of me Amazon.com just suggests a book that I'd like based on my tastes in other books, movies and music. Hmm, yeah, those are the same.

It's one thing to be spied on by a retailer trying to better serve me as a customer, it's a whole different thing to be spied on by the government.

The PATRIOT ACT (capitalized because it's not a word, but an Acronym designed to trick stupid people into supporting it) was/is the single biggest infringement on our civil rights in American history.
