Mandate

“thats a good point, lz.

i, for one, think we shoud eliminate the electoral college”

“Bingo MarkO! The rural folk think they're so independent, yet the urban folk are subsidizing their rural infrastructure and lifestyle. When asked how our Republican Congressman in Montana could justify pork spending in rural states (like Montana) who get back $3-4 for every federal dollar they pay in taxes, he replied "The rest of the country needs to make sure we're part of the 21st Century." Maybe urban folks should have some more say in how the rural minority spends their money.”

“I kind of like the setup they have in Maine. As i understand it each congressional district has an electoral vote, and the two senate votes go with the states popular vote.”

“Maybe urban folks should have some more say in how the rural minority spends their money.”

Does that mean that rural folks will get a say in how urban areas spend theirs?”

“Yeah, if they paid their fair share!”

“I shouldn't complain; the rest of the country subsidizes our rural air service, communications, highways, hospitals, schools, farmers, ranchers (on marginal land I might add) here in Montana. Anywhere else you'd call it Socialism.”

“My road is not even paved. You urbanites owe me some chip-n-seal!!”

“I wish my road were still dirt. Maybe people would slow the #&%!$ down when they drive past my house.”

“Oh yeah, and thanks for the improved cell phone and internet services, too!

Viva la mandate!”

“haha.

maybe if the urbanites don't want to spend on the rural areas they should start growing their own food and raising there own livestock.

one can't exist without the other. that doesn't mean one group voted out of ignorance.

yes, pat, i'd like to buy a vowel.”

“Baume - well they can just set up an import deal for food and livestock into the cities. After all - these farmers still need a market. ;o)”

“Here's that mandate you were looking for bacpac: http://www.mandate.com/”

The bill will come due....after this country goes bankrupt.

“...Bush has the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his second term, according to Gallup polls going back to World War II.

Bush's erosion of support among independents in particular has helped bring his overall approval rating down to 45 percent. Fort-nine percent disapprove of his performance.

Compare Bush's numbers, as of the most recent Gallup poll, to the previous six presidents who served second terms:

Clinton: 59 percent approval versus 35 percent disapproval

Reagan: 56 percent versus 37 percent disapproval

Nixon: 57 percent versus 34 percent

Johnson: 69 percent versus 21 percent

Eisenhower: 65 percent versus 20 percent

Truman: 57 percent versus 24 percent

continued...”

“Maybe that's because Bush does the right thing despite what the popularity polls say.”

“Maybe we shouldn't reelect him next election.

I remember the dems saying this same stuff right before the last election. LOL

LOL!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!”

“Is that who sarge hopes to have a man date with?”

“Hey, don't ask..........don't tell”

“Farewell sweet prince
