No, Bruce doesn't get a free pass to talk politics just because he's Bruce
Almighty. He broke a rule and the scant number of responses thus far specific
to politics -- reflects a respect for the rules -- or a reluctance to engage a
subject that should be kept off these boards. Hence Franc is RIGHT. Off this
list, my pals already know how I voted last week (I always vote absentee) --
and while it's a shocker even for me -- people don't care. When historians
properly judge today from the perspective of what's to come over the next 50
years -- we'll be dead. We're still learning more about Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ,
Nixon/Ford and Carter, for Ch*****-sakes. Polemics/diatribes do not change
most people's minds.

I got in trouble last time I said what I thought. I think Al Gore should have
been President because he won and that we wouldn't be in this kind of trouble
if he had. I also think the planet, at least America, would be in better
condition for our kids, green jobs would already be abundant, ergo we wouldn't
be in this financial mess (as deeply) , etc.I think it's pretty obvious the
primary was was won by Hillary and that Bill would have gone in and fixed
whatever he screwed up the first time, which I'm sure so many Presidents wish
they could have also done. I think we'd have a kick-ass health program.And
finally, after this past decade, I think we should have an Independent for
POTUS. They work between party lines. In fact, I think it would do us well to
not have a politician for President. I think a successful entrepreneur has
more knowledge of what America needs than a politician who just knows what
America wants to hear.PS: If Bruce talks politics, it's OK. If I do it, it's
not. There's a Yiddish expression for people like that...AndreaOn Oct 25,

I KNOW full well that my current 9th Halloween auction is far and away my best

I also know full well that these items would have certainly sold incredibly
well any previous year. I feel certain they deserve to, and if they don't, I
feel the blame can surely be placed on George Bush and this Democratic
Congress. Their massively wrong-headed policies in so many ways have hurt the
world drastically, and it may take decades to undo what they did in 8 years
(but maybe once the elections are over, we can quickly get on the right track,
and it hopefully won't take nearly that long).
If there ARE many bargains to be found in these auctions, I hope that long-time
collectors will take advantage of them!
Does anyone here doubt that George Bush will go down as the worst President in
American history? And I am not being partisan in saying this, for I feel the
Democratic Congress is at least equally to blame for all the terrible decisions
that were made the past 8 years (some they came up with on their own, and some
they simply went along with Bush, passing his wacky ideas, when any sane person
would have recognized them as recipes for disaster). And they let the robber
barons on Wall Street loot the country for 7 years, and then, when those fools
managed to bankrupt themselves, they go along with the insane plan of bailing
them out with OUR money!
What do YOU think?
