DANG IT! The country’s goin downhill from here on out. Whats next??? Pat Buchannon will probably fire whoever was his VP and appoint Strom Thurmond as VP. Then we would have a vice president who was always at risk of dying or having a heart-attack. That would be pretty crazy wouldnt it? ---

I hope we never hear from him again. He’ll have a hard time getting support after what he did. If Perot could endorse Bush at the last second, he could have done that for Gore, and his fans would have known he did the right thing when it came out close. ---

For the record, Ralph NAder has never taken an illegal drug in his life. So, no weed-smoking reference please. ---

Ummmm…what I actually meant to say is I respectfully beg to differ. Whaddya mean what he did? You mean the magic spell he casts over millions of people FORCING them to vote for him? Gee, I thought I when to the polls and exercised a choice. Shame on him for giving us one. ---

speaking of “magic spell”. I truly think that back in 1984, the Reagan forces sprayed some sort of mind-numbing vapor over America, causing almost everyone to vote for “him”. There was a freak wind gust from Canda, which caused most of it to blow out of Minnesota, casuing them to think and give their votes to Mondale. 😉
