Shotgun 1 #51 April 29, 2004 QuoteI'm guessing you are divorced? Actually I am divorced... but I was never a housewife... if that is what you are asking??? I was just making a joke about stereotypes and such, but I guess it wasn't funny enough for anyone else to get it. QuoteThe question was for BillVon. You wouldn't understand why. Oh, sorry.... I thought it had something to do with the "John Kerry's Wife" thread, but again I guess I was wrong. I apologize for trying to be funny and not succeeding.

I was just making a joke about stereotypes and such, but I guess it wasn't funny enough for anyone else to get it. Just a guess here but it could be that you were trying to attach a stereotype to a statement that wasn't meant to be what you presumed it was. Just a guess you understand. See comedy is funniest when it imitates real life. QuoteThe question was for BillVon. You wouldn't understand why. QuoteOh, sorry.... I thought it had something to do with the "John Kerry's Wife" thread, but again I guess I was wrong. Ding ding give this woman a big fat round cigar. Good for you. Now lets see if we can attach the significance of the question to that thread. As you recall we were discussing tactics. So lets first define tactic. Are you OK with Websters definition? tac·tic n. An expedient for achieving a goal; a maneuver. Now if we can agree on the definition, lets move on and see how it applies in this situation. Since my statement was one based on a how one applies tactics to achieve a goal, I said if a tactic was applied for the purposes of money, we would call it prostitution. But since it was applied to gain power we didn't call it that. So, now you are saying "OK GM I'm with ya, but I still don't see the relationship between this and your statement about the difference between a housewife and a prostitute". The tie in is that a prostitute applies her tactic for money and a housewife does it for love. Same tactic, but we call it something different. Hope this helps clarify for you. If not, please feel free to PM me. And thank you for your patience. QuoteI apologize for trying to be funny and not succeeding. I'm not so sure you should be so down on yourself. You made me laugh. Edited to add: If you would like to discuss the difference in the significance between sitting in the front row of an inauguration as opposed to watching it from the window of a govt building, please feel free to PM me about that too.

QuoteIf you would like to discuss the difference in the significance between sitting in the front row of an inauguration as opposed to watching it from the window of a govt building, please feel free to PM me about that too. Hmm... No, I have no interest in that... Thanks... Sitting in the front row of an inauguration doesn't really impress me... but if you were sitting in the front row of a Motley Crue concert, that would be another story! (another attempt at humor that I'm sure will not be understood) I was just trying to have a bit of fun, but you seem to be upset about something or other... so I'll just butt out of your conversation now... See ya.

Aww don't go running away so soon. We were just getting to know each other. Apparently you are used to upsetting people and fear you've gone and done it again. I swear, I'm cool like a popcicle. see... See ya.

Then he and Hillary can duke it out for the Democrat nomination. Had Nader not taken a couple of small states the results would probably have been different too, with or without Florida. Had Gore taken his OWN HOME STATE of Tennessee, Florida would have been moot as well. I think Gore's failure to do that is very telling. Everyone looks to Florida to "blame" for W winning; why don't they ask Gore what he could have done to convince his own "neighbors" to vote for him? --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Truth is he was raised in DC hotel rooms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tbrown 26 #57 April 29, 2004 As a Democrat, I'm glad that Gore's not running. The 2000 race was Gore's to lose and he lost it. Fact is, he couldn't even carry his own home state of Tennessee. I don't know of anyone whose ever lost their home state, not even McGovern or Mondale. And if Gore HAD carried Tennessee, he'd have won it right there because Tennessee has more Electoral votes than Florida. Florida wouldn't have mattered. I couldn't stand Gore's preachiness. I basically held my nose and voted for him. Then when the Florida debacle followed, he tied the thing up in litigation. Bush basically stole Florida fair & square, the way Kennedy stole Illinois in 1960. At that time, Dick Nixon refused to demand a recount, even though he knew he'd been screwed. He didn't want to put the country through it. Not Gore though, he called out the lawyers and made more preachy speeches. He will forever be remembered as the whiner who tried to sue his way into the White House. And by the way, for the record, I hope this year John Kerry beats Bush's ass like a gong.

Need to correct this. Tennessee has 4 electoral votes, Florida has 25. I'm assuming you meant to say that if he won Tennessee, those 4 votes would have put him over the top. As for Bush stealing the election, that drum is very old and is about to tear. I'd suggest stop beating it and get a new one. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 3 Next Page 3 of 3 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
