10/03 Bush: "I don't care what the vice-president says, he doesn't
believe in testing our kids" and hold schools accountable.

"...we need to test our students"
\_ Gore - lies about Grandma taking up-the-ass for $120 bucks while
his dog takes the same up-the-ass for $20 .. turns out his example
is made up. also, Gore special interest ends only after he gets
his money from the monks.
\_ All this is largely irrelavent. All politicans exagerate to
some extent. What Bush-lick needs to focus on is not these kinds
of mistakes, but rather the effect of BOREs misguided policies
on ordinary americans.
\_ There is only one issue that _clearly_ distinguishes these bozos:
abortion. Everything else is muddled.
\_ Government Regulation. if Bore GR++, if Bush-lick GR--.
Taxation if Bore TAXES++, if Bush-lick TAXES--.
\_ Not quite right. Gore has a little more clue on the
debt. Gore is anti-tart reform, Bush is pro tart reform.
\_ Bore doesn't have a clue about the debt.
\_ Look, they are the same guy in different suits (though not even
that last night at the debate). The only good reason to vote for
Gore over Bush is because there are a few people in the his party
who actually do give a shit. Anyway, everyone in the Bay Area
should vote for Nader since Gore is going to win here by a large
margin.
\_ The valley's prosperity is due to the economic policies of
great men like Ronald Reagan. Bill C was smart enough to
keeps his hands of the economy, Bore isn't that smart and
will screw it up.
\_ The Great Ronald Reagan almost screwed our country
permanently with his insane budget deficits. Clinton
put us back on an even course. Tax-and-spend liberals
in his party notwithstanding, Gore is far more likely to
persue fiscal responsibility.
\_ You are completely ignorant. Read the Wall Street
Journal some time. The budget deficit that he grew
was wartime spending. America has always run budget
deficits during wartime. Since we won the cold war
(which was possible only because of the zero-sum
option of RWR) we can start reducing the deficit
just like it was after all wars. BORE won't help
with this, he would just like to spend all the
money on more government programs.
If any of you think that the COLD WAR wasn't a real
war, you should try talking to members of the
armed forces who served during that time. It was a
real war and RWR fought it like a real war and he won.
By winning he secured our freedom for generations to
come. So it cost some $s. Better to sacrifice a few $s
for long term freedom and prosperity.
\_ You have obviously been reading the WSJ editorial
pages and confusing their fantasy version of the
world with reality. The Reagan budget deficits
were mostly caused by foolish headed tax breaks for
the rich justified as "trickle down economics."
And I *did* serve in the armed forces during the
cold war, did you?. It is not the same thing
as being shot at.
\_ yeah, kick some central american butt!
\_ It was russian COMMIE butt that we kicked.
Soviet Communism has been consigned to the
ash-heap of history, just as RWR predicted.
\_ Soviet is gonna fall one way or another.
If you think RWR toppled it, you really
have no clue about why communism or command
\_ Regardless of Reagan's "almost" screwing our country
and Clinton's cigar wizardry, Greenspan is far more
accountable for preventing *possible* recessions
and that still says nothing about Gore, his retarded
tax policy, his taste for opportunistic lying
(campeign funding), and a propensity for
irresponsibility and unaccountability. But I'm sure
you're right about his likelihood to "pursue"
fiscal responsibility better than Bush... after all
the pursuit of responsibility
economies fails.
\_ Reagan "almost" screwed our country; Clinton "almost"
screwed Lewinsky, Lincoln Bedroom, Arlington,
Missile Guidance... whatever.
Get it straight brainiac.
Greenspan put us back on course.
And that has NOTHING to do with Gore... who indeed
is more likely to pursue any responsibility than Bush
who has had more practice being it than pursuing it.
Oh, forget I said that... go back to your fantasyland
You'd vote democrat regardless of who's running,
probably because your parents did you pathetic
reasons that companies like Cisco and Sun are able to
little snailsniffing automaton for whom thinking-for-
onself is a terrifying enemy. - (fucker)
\_ GreenSpan was appointed by Reagan and has shown
himself to be a supply-sider.
\_ Our prosperity is in spite of the economic and moral
policies of mediocre presidents like Ronald Reagan. The
Federal Reserve and regulations in banking and stock
markets, established long before rr, helped fuel and
better sustain recent stock market manias. And the more
tangible prosperity is due to the great minds & ideas
coming out of universities like UC Berkeley and Stanford
and companies like HP, Cisco, Sun and products like
Netscape Navigator, Solaris and Yahoo. Not due as much
to those punks in washington (dc).
\_ RWR's visonary insights into economics, including
his choice of Alan G. as FED Chariman, are the sole
\_ "sole reason"? You LOSE right here
reason that companies like Cisco and Sun are able to
prosper. The reduction in Coroprate Taxes and Corporate
Regulations that RWR made allowed people to do business
more efficiently leading to unprecidented growth and
\_ I paid BC + AB salary in taxes this year. I
prosperity for all americans including morons like you
who would otherwise be panhanlding on the streets of
Berzerkely.
RWR believed and implemented SSLF principles. His
leadership has restored America's Greatness.
\_ In that case, why is Greenspan advocating the
use of the budget surplus to reduce the national
debt instead of cutting taxes?
\_ I believe that some of the deficit ought to
be repaid, but that is not what Bore will do
with the "surplus". He will expand government.
\_ Err ... debt and deficit are two very
very different things, even though one
leads to the other.
\_ The regulations I refer to were implemented in
FDR's time. Plus, I am 95% sure I earn more than
you and believe me Reagan did not do that for me,
you rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth fascist hypocrite.
America never needed it's Greatness restored
because it never lost it. Republicans are all
for affirmative action for the rich, like S&L
bailouts and pandering to the religious freaks.
\_ I paid BC + AB salaries in taxes this year. I
will pay more next year. If it was not for
RWR, I would never have had the opportunity
to earn as much as I do. His vision was an
america where everyone could be rich, rather
\_ This is fucking hilarious.
than an america where no one can ever be rich
(socialist democrat ideal).
\_ Wow, a republican who is proud of taxes
enough to use them to try to justify his point
\_ No, it was the other way around: products by
Cisco Sun etc. helped improve corporate efficiencies
and reduce costs which led to higher profits and
greater ambitions (both in small/large and old/new
companies which in turn contributed to stock market
gains. Not just "lower taxes" which is all that
republicans can ever say.
\_ The economic environment created by RWR is what
what allowed companies like Cisco and Sun to
form and succeed Without his leadership in the
early 1980s (for those of you not old enough to
remember, 1979-1980 were years in which this
country experienced the greatest economic down-
turn since 1929) these companies and scores of
of others could never have been created. Supply
Side and Laisse-Faire works, RWR proved it;
we are enjoying the fruits of his labor.
\_ Wow, i guess RWR created the Internet then.
\_ Since 1992, CSCO has gone up like 80000%
\_ It's not often that us engineers are given
our dues for making America great! So,
please don't take away our credit, asshole!
If you want to hero worship RWR, go learn
from Monica, ok?
\_ it's really pretty ridiculous to make this assertion. Well,
it's not ridiculous when you have no real knowledge of the
candidates' positions. But if you did, you'd know that they
differ on most issues. -tom |
