3. Speaking of bridges, if you could build a moat around the ghetto, do you think society would? For or against?

Hello

It already has. Its called welfare. It keeps the rotten stasis. I'm not "for" it, but I see no other option. People have to eat and riots in the streets don't help anyone.

The photographs that the Penske socks posted over and over again were very effective.

A lot has happened since then, and memories have faded a bit. Most of the Cuban members of my family say that they're voting against Bush this time around. This wing of the family has traditionally run for office in South Florida as Republican.

Sun Sentinal editorial from Cuban-American on why he's abandoning Bush. This doesn't seem like a demographic that Bush would want to lose.

You're part Cuban? When can I have that hug?

I was sort of amazed by that. On the one hand, the anti-Castro feelings aren't being fed enough by Bush - that seems to be complaint #1 - and then the travel restrictions, which were his (admittedly poorly aimed) attempt to hurt Castro, end up pissing off the anti-Castroites. So, they vote for Kerry? Seems self-destructive - or have the anti-Castro feelings subsided so much that it's no longer a factor?

If this airs, it spells doom for Kerry.

If the swing voters get to know who Kerry really is, they will hate him. Hell, even the Dems don't like him. They just hate Bush more than they don't like Kerry.

What's interesting that you've predicted doom for Kerry before .

I agree, however, that this doesn't sound too good, so this time you might be right. Though, given what I now know about the liberal broadcast media, I have no doubt that something will turn up, and it'll never air.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

That was more of a joke. This time I'm serious. If this thing airs without enough time to effectively repair the damage caused, it is O-V-E-R.

I know absolutely nothing about FCC regulations pertaining to broadcast TV transmissions, licenses regarding same, etc., but -- wouldn't this run afoul of the equal time requirement? Can Kerry force Sinclair to run "F9/11" in response?

The thing I find so entertaining about you Dems is that you admit that if Kerry's own actions are publicized, this is not good for his chances to be elected. There is no spin here. This is just showing footage of Kerry saying what he believed in. And of men who were held as POWs expressing how they felt about what Kerry said.

When the truth about Kerry is known, he will be a reviled figure. Even you Dems don't defend what he did. You just hate Bush so much that you will tolerate this vile man as your candidate.

You've bought the DVD? Cool!

(Now, that, my friends -- THAT is a concerned citizen.)

C'mon, tell us about some of the details.

looking for a defense of Kerry in what you post, but not finding it. There is no defending this man. Unless you call Bush Lied a defense of Kerry somehow.

Dan Rather already ran a hatchet job.

Call it even.

Maybe Michael Powell can call this one the "Free Noogies" Rule.*








* I am completely unfamiliar with the FCC regs here. I simply could not resist the temptation to coin this term, which seems to occupy the heart of GOP apologia as the campaign winds down.
