Bart, this is 3 questions

how can you support a president that shows such blatant disregard for the oceans we all fish and the lands we all hunt, just to keep his corporate buddies happy?

- please provide specifics instead of blah, blah. I want cold hard fact to support your claim.

another point-- if president bush is such a great leader in fighting terrorism, how come there was no mention of Osama in his convention speech?

- not sure, but I dont view Osama as the only terrorist front. I think we are doing all we can to find him, what would you like to hear? Becasue he did not mention him means he is not a great leader?

and one last thing--does anyone know statistics for the likely-hood of being killed in a terrorist attack? this is in no way meant to disrespect the victims of these unfortunate tragedies, just something to think of....

- hmmm, over 80 people in my last company died. My sister and brother in law both worked at the trade center for years, luckily not on 9/11. Why are so many people against having a liquid gas plant near them? Why do they screen me before I get on a plane?
It is the constitutional duty of the President to protect US citizens.


and RIJimmy, i don't think Al Jazeera deserves any recognition. they have become the terrorist's media outlet for public executions...
- But you Kerry suppoters keep talking about the Arab view of the US. That view is defined by Al-Jazzera, there may be some positive coming out of that outlet that you don't consider. The average Arab citizen is not happy to see innocent people killed on TV. That refelcts poorly on our enemy, not us.


- my answers embeded above
Eben, you keep talking about the "poor" worker. I listened to the labor secretary on the statistics, the current unemployment rate is less that the average rate of the 70s,80s, and 90s. So, although the Dems would lead you to beleive otherwise, its not soe bad. Bush took office after the most articfically inflated economy in history. There was no substance to back up much of the growth of the 90s. A decline is the economy and jobs is expected
