Hello John,

JH>I didn't answer any of the previous two because you need a heavy dose of
JH>reeducation, historically speaking.

Wanna know what Kerry's mistake was?  Not choosing Dennis Kucinich as
his running mate.  Had Kerry picked Kucinich as veep, Kerry would have
won the presidency, even though losing the popular vote by 25 million
votes.  That's right.  272 electoral votes for Kerry, 266 electoral
votes for Bush.  Popular vote, 48-50 million for Bush, 23-25 million
for Kerry.

>GL>Will the economy head south big time by 2006 to affect the
>GL>GOP control of Congress ??????

>LL>If the economy heads south, expect the Republicans to have a
>LL>two-thirds majority in the House and a two-thirds majority in
>LL>the Senate.  And with Republicans controlling the White House,
>LL>the Congress, and the Judiciary, we will have a One Party State.
>LL>Actually, we're almost there already...

>JH>Not only will the economy be in good shape in 2006, but we will
>JH>increase the number of seats we hold in the Senate and the House
>JH>as a result.

>LL>Wishful thinking.

JH>Oh?  The economy is in better shape today than it was when GW took
JH>office 4 years ago, even including 9/11.

Only for the very wealthy.

JH>There are no signs it will change anytime soon.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

>JH>And what's wrong with one party in control?

>LL>The danger of falling into a dictatorship.

JH>Really?  I guess its okay for 60 years on Democratic control though, eh?
JH>Discussing anything with you is a gesture in futility.  Of course, that's
JH>the case with most liberals.  You've got no perspective of history.

History according to liberals is much different than history according
to conservatives.  :)

>JH>We might actually get something done for a change, instead of just
>JH>standing around pissing on each other's shoes.

>LL>It has often been alleged that Mussolini got the trains to run
>LL>on time.  But in actuality, things got really fucked up under
>LL>Mussolini.

>JH>After all, the Democrats had their turn for nearly 50 years, and
>JH>didn't do much except increase dependency on government and
>JH>increase the welfare rolls and taxes.

>LL>Government should work *for* people, not against people.
>LL>That is why Democrats still believe in social justice.

JH>Increasing the *amount* of government isn't working FOR anybody but
JH>bureaucrats.  It damn sure don't have anything to do with justice,
JH>social or otherwise.

The economy is for the person, not the other way around.

>JH>That isn't what this country is all about.

>LL>Yes, it is.

JH>No, it isn't.  You need to reread the Declaration of Independence and the
JH>Constitution.  If you believe all the stuff you've said here you don't get i
JH>anymore.

Government is to "promote the general Welfare", according to our
Constitution.  Remember the old saying, "Government provides, business
denies."  As such, what should the proper role of government be?
What should the proper role of business be?  Should government be
run like a business?  In my view, it should not.  After all, business
is in business to make a profit.  And government is supposed to be a
non-profit organization, working solely for the people, our government
being "We the people" (first three words of the U.S. Constitution).
