Because the wine market exploded in the 90s, there hasn't been enough quality cork for wine bottles, resulting in massive spoilage rates. Screw tops are an excellent alternative to lousy cork. No spoilage. The problem is with consumers, and they can be educated.

My experience in Iraq is that numerous guys are planning on voting for Kerry simply because Kerry has promised to end stop loss. If stop loss did end and tour of duties shortened, as Kerry has said he'd do, then I'd expect morale to increase not decline.
No how would he stop loss without substantially increasing the size of the military? I said he would in fact do just that, but without volunteers because people who believe in Kerry also believe that the invasion of Iraq was wrong. Are they going to enlist? No. That leaves it to Bush voters. Are they going to follow Kerry? Hell no. Now way.
Where does that leave us?
A draft.
So, we seem to be in agreement on what is going to happen with the election of Kerry.
You'll notice that I wasn't a hint judgemental in my post. Americans in general are judgemental toward the word "appeasement", I just wanted to let them unleash their prejudices toward this policy
Spiffor, who represented France at the Munich conference with Hitler?
domestic problems are convieniently being ignored, the fact that a certain company linked to his administration ****ed over the US tax payer is muffled away, etc etc etc...
Linked? Why of course, linked by the Democrats who never lie, never exaggerate, never make charges without evidence.
I also think the Republicans have a more dedicated base then then the Democrats. I guess telling religious people "our religion is under attavk" or telling millionares that Republicans will cut their taxes amount to better motivating factors then the Democrats' message of social responsability.
You seem to forget, Oerdin, that the Republican base are the country's patriots.

No, actually, I have called him the anti-Christ. Face it, he's Damien. I'm not a liberal though, so I guess your point stands.

Like Robert Jordan's grandfather, I've "never knowingly sat at the same table as a Democrat." But THIS article from The American Conservative states the case defeating George W. Bush about as concisely as I have seen it. I think it's worth the read.
George W. Bush is not anywhere near the sharpest knife in the drawer. His limited capacity and family history has resulted in administration policy which can best be summed up as "Don't make the same two mistakes Daddy made."
First, don't leave Saddam Hussein in power. But the use of American military, economic, and political power to conduct a personal vendetta is absolutely inexcusable.
Second, do everything you can to make sure the economy is ripping along by the time election day rolls around. But in doing so George W Bush has started to piss away the greatest absolute advantage the American economy has over any other country in the world: financial stability. We and our children will pay the bill.
I know that many of you who support George W. Bush are very leery of John Kerry. And in many ways Kerry is like the Democrat Kamasutra: a thousand different positions and you still get screwed. But I also know that many of you supervise other people in the workplace. And if one of your employees persistently screwed up as badly as George W. Bush, wouldn't you fire them and take what's behind Door #2 as a replacement?
I have lost a great deal of the respect I once had for you AS. You base your "reasons" for not liking on a pack of Democrat lies and distortions. As to the deficit, you seem to ignore that it was necessary to get us out of the recession and that Bush is dedicated to reducing it now that the economy is growing again.
Kerry is not serious about reducing the deficit. You don't really believe that he will sacrifice all his new social spending projects to reduce the deficit?

Drach, answer this simple question. Does Kerry view bringing democracy to the ME as necessary?
Over the long term, no one denies it is necessary.
That doesn't justify short-term stupidity in attempts to bring democracy.

"If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief -- I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper -- that makes this country work." - Barack Obama

Kerry talks about the deficit and his plan is less expensive than Bush's. Additionally, he is trying to pay for things as he goes as opposed to Bush who just pays, pays, pays.
Do you somehow think that Bush, who never talks about the National Debt or Deficit, and who's websites have no hint of a plan of how to deal with these problems, really is serious about it?
And again, Bush lies a heck of a lot more, and a heck of a lot worse than Kerry. You seem to like to ignore that fact, even though I have brought it up to you many times, you just act like it doesn't exist or try to dismiss it. Bush supporters try to ignore that in general it seems.
