I just voted for Kerry

[Arrian]

There is a nice little lawn-sign war going on up the street from me. There is one house which for the longest time had a sign hanging from a tree in the front yard saying "No War in Iraq" - they left it up until a few months ago. Now they have a Kerry/Edwards sign and a homemade "Beat Bush - AGAIN!" sign.

The house directly next door has Bush/Cheney signs up.

The house after that has signs for a local candidate... whose party affiliation I don't currently know or care about (I'll do some quick online research right before the election).

Not that it matters here. Kerry will win with ease.

p.s. Ned, seeing as you exist so far off on the lunatic fringe as to have your own little world, calling someone else an extremist doesn't really carry much weight.

Sure, sure, Arian. Marxism is mainstream, I suppose.

WTG, Imran.

Now you can volunteer for a relief group to help when terrorists blow up next building.

I hear John Kerry is going to personally detonate the bombs that blow up the next building. In fact, I'm pretty sure he is harboring a terrorist bomb-making lab in his basement.

You dolt, Ned. Gore isn't a Marxist. Do you even know what a real Marxist is?

Liberal Democrat (Gore) =! Marxist. Not even close.

Calling Dems commies is just like the nutbars on the other side calling Republicans Nazis.

-Arrian

[BeBMan]

Gore is for the proletarian revolution?

[SlowwHand]

No, Gore is a complete fool.

[Arrian]

Clearly he's got his sights set on the People's Internet Service Department.

Not even close? The very essence of Marxism is class warfare, hatred of the wealthy, of corporations, etc. The detailed proposals for reigning in the wealthy in favor of the working class have modified over the decades, but not Marxim's essence.

Gore is a Marxist.

No. He is in favor of the working class and against the wealthy. Revolution might be a litmus test for certaim strains of the Marxist orthodoxy. But even today's Communists say they believe in democratic elections.

Woo... Marxists were in power during the Clinton years. We were a Communist country for 8 years! Damn those anti-American rulers of ours .

BTW, both the American Legion and VFW support Bush.
If you want veteran's perspective.

The American Legion I hear, consists of nothing but crack-pot, knee-jerk, bigoted, ultra-conservative wackos anyway.

Ned is an example of 1960s-era political thought. My father, who came down from Canada in the '60s (he's a Brit, moved to Canada in '47, and then down here), used to tell me how funny he thought Americans were about Communism.

"Rob," he say, "the quickest way to shut them an American back then was to just say 'now you're talking like a communist!' It worked every time! They would just go quiet. Silly!"

This is a man who left Britain because (in his words) it went socialist. He's a capitalist through and through, and *****es about taxes all the time. He's probably voting for Bush.

Hehe, Ned can't handle being called what he is .
