Shit, bill, that's easy

Post #16,577 by jb4 11/5/01 10:02:21 AM Reply	Shit, bill, that's easy Because Gore is NOT the fucking moron that Bush is. Gore would have nominated a real attorney to the post of Attorney General (notice the first word in the title?), not some has-been smackass whose major claim to fame is being beaten by a dead man in a Senatorial election (one that the SC couldn't fuck up). You see, Gore actually understands hi-tech, and also understands antitrust. Bush barely understands which camera is live when he's reading from the teleprompter. (Actually, that's not entirely fair...Bush understands antitrust, too. He understands that the more antitrust enforcement there is, the lower his campaign contribution warchest would be.) jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)

Post #16,583 by jb4 11/5/01 10:14:12 AM Reply	Read it...doesn't matter The question was, would Gore have done differently? My answer: Yes, he would have. He would have not chosen an AG as vapid and one dimensional as Ashhole, and he and his real AG would have continued the enforcement of antitrust laws as was the case under Clinton. No capitulation. What part of that don't you understand? jb4 (Resistance is not futile...)

It doesnt matter because MS has paid the extortion fees demanded. Besides ya think he would have appointed whom? Anther Brer Reno? An AG with the vision of a professional wrestling referee. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

Boeing is going under, and rumbling noises about moving ALL the plants out of the Seattle area are being made. Eastern Washington is in the shits. Although that's nothing new. 90% of the .commies in the region are now .gonnies. Unemployment is WAY up, and our sales tax-based government is freaking out about how to pay all the claims without breaking the bank. Oh, and some moron named Tim Eyeman keeps finding new, interesting, and usually unconstitutional and discriminatory ways to make the tax collectors scream for mercy, while gutting essential services through the citizen initiative process, generally with the help of the aformentioned eastern Washington. Yup, things are lookin' REAL good over here right now. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

Post #16,684 by Brandioch 11/5/01 4:54:20 PM Reply	Should have qualified that a bit. Washington state is looking a lot better than the other states. :) That's the problem with a sales tax. It's regressive. The MS millionaires aren't doing their share of in-state purchases. I think we should dump the sales tax and go with a state income tax. But that's a subject for another thread.
Post #16,698 by inthane-chan 11/5/01 5:08:09 PM Reply	Agreed on both counts. :) "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
