Hello John,

>LL>Kerry's remark during the presidential debate about Cheney's
>LL>daughter

>SD>As an aside, is it me or has this election been the nastiest
>SD>(concerning mudslinging, finger-pointing accusations) in recent
>SD>memory?

>LL>You'd have to go back to the presidential election between Thomas
>LL>Jefferson and John Adams to find one as mean and nasty as this
>LL>one. :)

>FS>No need to go back that far, Lee.  Any election involving a
>FS>Democrat candidate has included mud-throwing by the Democrats.

>LL>Neither Adams nor Jefferson were Democrats.

JH>Jefferson was not a Democrat?

Little "d".  Not big "D".

JH>I'm sure that would be news to Mr. Jefferson were he alive today.  He
JH>sure as hell wasn't a Whig, the only other major pa in existence at
JH>the time.

George Washington was no party.
Thomas Jefferson was Democrat Republican.
John Adams was Whig.

>LL>Andrew Jackson is regarded as being the first Democrat president.

JH>Not in any history of the presidency I've ever seen.

The Democratic Party was not in existence when Thomas Jefferson was
president.

>LL>Abraham Lincoln is regarded as being the first Republican
>LL>president.

JH>Now that statement is correct.

Of course it is.

JH>Lincoln was the first candidate to run under the new party, which
JH>replaced the Whig Party in the 1850's.

Lincoln was the first *presidential* candidate who won as a Republican.
The Republican Party had been formed a few years prior to Lincoln's
election.  In the 1856 presidential election, the Republican candidate
did not fare well.  But in the 1860 presidential election, the Democrats
split their vote thus enabling Lincoln to win as the Republican.

>LL>George W. Bush is regarded as being the last Republican

JH>Only by idiot liberals.

The worst thing that can happen for the Republican Party
is if George W. Bush wins a second term in office.

>LL>president. John Kerry will soon be regarded as being the greatest
>LL>Democrat president.

JH>Even Clinton is better than Kerry, and you know what I think of Clinton.

Well, Clinton was the greatest president in American history.  But
Kerry will top Clinton, even though right now Clinton is more popular
than both Kerry and Bush.  Yesterday, Clinton spoke in front of crowds
in excess of 100,000.  Not bad for a politician who has been out of
office for four years.

>FS>After you awakened from that nightmare, Lee, what were your first
>FS>thoughts??

>SD>I mean, you know, if one's daughter is a lesbian, so be it.  It's
>SD>not th parents' choice about what their daughter does and they
>SD>shouldn't be cal the carpet for it.  Just my two cents' on that.

>LL>Most Americans, except seniors, accept homosexuality for what it
>LL>is, the result being that most Americans do not care one way or the
>LL> other if an individual is gay or not.

>FS>So you *accept* that abberation?

>LL>I accept the fact that homosexuals are homosexuals.  I accept the
>LL>fact that homosexuals choose to be with other homosexuals. I also
>LL>accept the fact that heterosexuals are heterosexuals. I also accept
>LL>the fact that heterosexuals choose to be with other heterosexuals.

>FS>Do you also accept the belief that the earth is round --
>FS>approximately??

>LL>Especially young people, who could care less.

>FS>Oh?  Exactly *how* much less could they care??

>LL>One pale shade of green less than the other pale shade of green.

>FS>How pale?   Of course that reminds one of the tagline, "How big
>FS>is an elephant?" ... "What kind of elephant?" ... "A big
>FS>elephent." ... "How big?" ... heh heh heh ...

JH>What's the matter, Lee?  No answer?

Personally, I believe that George W. Bush is gay.
After all, most queers are bisexual, married with kids.
But don't tell Laura.  She probably doesn't know.
