A story about the student from Florida, or the old lady from Iowa does pull on the heart strings of the [b] uniformed [/b]public. It is a total shame that the people don't hear the true story from the poeple and just hear the sob story from Gore.
What a freakin' joke. ------------------ bk [This message has been edited by bkkcoh (edited 10-04-2000).] |

Brad: I think that maybe that was a poor choice of words, but I dont think Bush has the time to explain the govt's useage of Baseline budgeting and referring to 'cuts' in spending when actually referring to a lower than expected increase in spending.
Probably could have thought of a better way to answer than 'fuzzy math'. Jones: I think your right about that. The 1% mantra (tax the poor, to give to the wealthy) has been a long tested mantra of the Dems and has worked for many years. While misleading it is technically true. Since the richest 1% pay over 40% of the tax revenues, a tax cut would benefit them the most because they pay the most money. A flat tax is the only thing that would essentially nuke that argument. I dont see that happening anytime soon. |

Clint: The Gore team admitted it. You can stop defending the Gore boys.

If the Republicans will get smart these sappy (and false) little ancedotes will cost Gore the election.
Clint, just because you don't posess this ability, pleaser don't assume that others of us don't. I have spent my whole professional life having to evaluate people rather5 quickly. It is a skill that can be learned. Am I always right? NO. But I am correct far more often than not. Luz realize that some may have skills that you don't... |

Do you guys watch Southpark?
Instead of blaming spies, Bush should just blame it on the illusive 'underwear gnomes'. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] xxx000x, wondering if a Southpark reference kills this thread |

if Bush is elected, how long do you think it will take for my paycheck to increase due to lowered income taxes?
I'll be counting the days no matter who is elected. My guess is never. |

not blaming spies...all Im saying is that Gore team did get some debate prep materials from the Bush camp. Dont really care how it got to Gore's folks, but do you honestly think that they didnt peruse the information before turning it over?
I would be pissed the Rep's didnt do it, if the situation were reversed. |

Luzap,
That's stupid. You don't have any more ability to spot liars than anyone else...although I'm sure that ego of yours tells you differently. If The Fly was a liberal, you would have a totally different opinion, and you certainly wouldn't be defending him/her. |

I'm trying to look more at fundamentals.
1. Bush doesn't scare me on foreign policy because I think that Cheney will be an excellent advisor in that area. 2. The Supreme court nominations. I used to be a little pro choice(bad for a catholic)..but i held some twin babies that were born at the end of the second trimester, and still viable for abortion...my opinion changed right there, This issue will be major with the next 3 justices decided. 3. Gore talks out of both sides of his mouth. He quickly takes credit for Postives from the Clinton era, but sidesteps any blame for the bad....you have to take both sides of the coin. 4. I watched Bush on Larry King last week, and he appears much much more intelligent on that type of atmosphere...and will do better in the next debate styles. |

Then again, I could be wrong. "Salesman" is a euphamism for "liar". Maybe you can spot them.

About me being the judge... I would be very fair... I can vote for an honest man, liberal or conservative... It turns my stomach to vote for people who can't be trusted... And I'm sure I have... But I am not knowlingly voting for dishonest folks...
As far as knowing if Al is lying or not and being the judge I follow a simple rule. You make a statement and then the facts don't support it. Clearly, the school story is NOT factual, according to the press. The drug/dogs/mother story was not factual, again according to the press. I don't have to be a judge. If the stories are rebutted in the press with facts and first-hand witnesses, then Al is hurting himself and showing himself to be a liar... Has Bush lied? Probably. Someone please show me a confirmed story of Bush lying...<BR> |

Just wondering, do any of these "personal" stories from either side appeal to anyone? I find it all fake when Gore starts talking about some schoolgirl or Bush starts talking about "the Jones family" or whatever. I know examples are a good way to get your point across, but to me it feels like both candidates use people for political reasons. I think it would be more appealing if they just said "If you are making this much, his is what you can expect" rather than "I talked to Joe Shmo the other day and he was telling me about (insert sob story here)..."

Clint: apples and oranges. you're looking at the federal withholding on your check and equating that to 'lower taxes'.
Taxes are what you pay on April 15th. You dont 'pay' taxes from your paycheck. You can increase your paycheck by adjusting your W-4 withholdings or work more. If you look at the amount of taxes you pay on your form 1040 and divide that by your gross receipts you might actually see a decrease in percentage if Bush is elected. If Gore is elected, I honestly couldnt say the same. |
