MK: I disagree. I think most folks take the outrages of the GOP for granted. They are shameless in their shamefulness. Michael K. Yes, they are. But it doesn't seem to hurt them. Can you imagine the Democrats successfully doing to Bush what was done to Clinton? For example, a la

A comment - has anybody met/seen/talked with/heard or heard of a single Republican who doesn't stand solidly on Bush's side in this dispute? Why is it that the Democrats are wishy-washy on Gore, while the Republicans are hard-core for Bush? Perhaps they have a clearer vision. Barry

For those who don't think that the dispute in Florida is a big deal, consider this: Aside from Bush getting the presidency, we are now (if things go as I predict) going to see: Widespread voting abuse conducted by a party, sufficient to alter a national election. The campaign co-chair rushing

Update on the 1960 Election

There is an article in 'Journalism Quarterly' by Edmnund Kallina, discussing this (from 1985; the date is not on the pages that I copied). In that article, there is a report mentioned, by Morris Wexler, a special prosecutor investigating allegations of vote fraud in Chicago. The report is

Republicans Contesting the 1960 Election.

We've all probably heard the charge that the Democrats stole the 1960 election. There is a add-on, that Nixon, in his statesman-like love of his country, honorably declined to challenge the election. This is being resurrected now, to pressure Gore into not challenging this election. It's a

Brad, hang it up. The thing is, we don't accept your iron cage. We don't accept defeat. We won't go away. Maybe we're mad, whethe happy or not, but you won't make nice but unhappy liberals out of us. So you agree that for you politics is a means of self-expression, rather than an attempt to

Some here have said that if Bush gets the White House, he'll probably have a recession to deal with right away. This isn't the worst thing for Bush. If he gets a first-year recession, his chance of being re-elected are improved, compared to having a recession later in his term. Especially

Re: Sweatshops

2000-09-29 Thread Barry Rene DeCicco
One good argument to use about sweatshops is the amount of non-free-market stuff involved. The number of death squads and government oppression involved. The fact that government policies are probably driving people into the cities, to create a surplus labor force. The fact that people with
