<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Thursday at 9PM.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Seems like Kerry's last chance to irk out a victory in this election.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm just bored watching the whole thing now, Bush and Kerry are so boring they should be in Canadian politics.</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It's the damn Bible belt (South) and the "wild" west (the sparsely populated western states) who are keeping us, as a country, from advancing. The Republicans have sold themselves as "God's party" to the people in the bible belt and as "the cowboy party" to people in the "wild" west.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>They play the US presidential debates on Canadian TV?</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>There's a little bit more to it than that.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, if you go to the outpost - which is, on average, 200km away from many of the small villages - they have satellites there and, if tuned just right, can randomly pick up a US station...</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The fact is, Kerry is a cardboard cutout at best and since it's a lot about popularity, he's not as popular as he should be. Also, love 'em or hate 'em, the Republicans are political geniuses. How the hell else do you explain the fact that it's Kerry's military record that's crucified and not Bush's</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Seriously, we get all your shit up here, especially those of us with "free" Direct TV or Dishnet. We're as in tune with the majority of your culture as you are. It's the Americans who know nothing about us</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I just wish the people in the Southern US could see the latest Mars bar commercial. I'm going as Cousin Billy for Halloween =)</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Oh Kupek you snooty intellectual ;) Yeah, I know that. I'd like to see you put it all into one no-text message! We should start a thread on this in Ruminations or something....</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Its people like Hillary Clinton and her "income redistributement" that scare me away from being a Democrat. Of course, every party has its extremists... but man, far left people are nut jobs.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>As a far leftist, I would take offense to being compared to Hillary or Ted Kennedy. Both are hypocrites and hardcore Democrats. If you're that far entrenched in the Democratic Party, you're not even an extremist. Give me a third party politician and then we can talk about extremists.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>The Bush administration's PR machine combines the best elements of Reagan's and Clinton's PR strategies.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Well, it's that whole "Canada has two platoons and a PT boat to its name" thing.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>What I was hoping to imply is that your caricature of the Republican party's appeal doesn't help. What would your reaction be if Flip did the same thing?</div>

[Derithian]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>and the far right is any better?</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Yes, i can tolerate a Rush, but not a Moore. I'm looking forward to 2008 when we'll have McCain or Giuliani on the ticket.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Hey, don't blame us just because your country's so boring that you have to watch OUR presidential elections : )</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>There wasnt any candidate who was any better either. Besides, America needs Bush in office because otherwise we wouldnt have anything to bitch about and then we just wouldnt be America.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Remember, its your shows that are boring us :-) Our elections are over and the network reality TV shows SUCK, so we need the only reality TV left that means anything to keep us entertained :-)</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>You can tolerate bigotry and the promotion of close-mindedness but not patriotism and the promotion to fight for what you believe in? Neither are saints, but you can't seriously tell me Limbaugh is better than Moore....</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>A Nader fan, are we? :-)</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>They both suck, but in a game of choosing one over the other... well, my choice has been stated,</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Maybe I've got a completely different view of Moore than most here, but even though I may not agree with some of his tactics or beliefs, I can at least respect the fact he's quite patriotic and stands up for what he believes in. Limbaugh is bright, but he's just a loud-mouthed braggot</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>No, not really. The guy's an idealist without any sort of frame of reality.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>You can only tolerate it because you fall within the same side. BTW, McCain is too old for a 2008. I wouldn't vote for the guy anyway, unless it was a primary.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Is that your excuse for voting for Bush? Besides, people find plenty to bitch about with every president.</div>
