    I think everyone knew that Bush would win again.

    It was a close debate though.

    This shows one thing about the USA.(we are a divided nation when it comes to politics)

    Not knowing too much about american politics, I think both bush and kerry are nobjockeys....but kerry seems worse...like an inbred cancerous kennedy.

    just my pennys worth!

    the problem with americans like us, at least politically, is that we are so polarized. we have our vision for how the country should run and that is it. we don't open ourselves to others' ideas anymore or try to look from another's view.

    democracy is based on compromise. everyone's stopped compromising and that is the reason that we have had a stalemate in government with nothing-doing for so long.

    this election was so close because we have no dynamic leader to choose. you can't please everybody, but when a leader in a democracy can only get half the population to support him, you have serious issues. for the whole thing to work the way it should, the leader really needs a good 70% behind him/her.

    just my thoughts.

    Some posts back a member said that fully automatic weapons were illegal. Wrong. You just have to have a license to legally own one. The only thing that was done was to prohibit future licensing of fully automatic weapons. Anything already licensed at that time is still legal. There are about 200,000 legal full auto's out there. Probably none of which have been involved in any crime what so ever. Who the heck would go through the background investigation process, pay for the license and then commit a $10.00 crime? Give me a break.

    As for nothing domestically?? I sure am appreciative of my TAX break. And I don't make near ammount considered to be rich. TAX payers got a tax break. Those that did not pay taxes before got nothing. Why?, they were not tax payers! Besides, Bush does not drink like he did during college, if he drinks at all these days. Can you imagine Bill Clinton with his finger on the trigger when Monica was servicing him????

    God Bless the Italians. They are standing with us. How many governments have they had since WWII?

    Thank you Brits. You are stalwart & Steadfast under Blair
    You better belive it.

    seifey: Assault weapons are not "no longer banned". Assault weapons are strictly military. They are select fire weapons. Google that. What was previously banned were fire arms that "looked liked assault weapons". Or had characteristics assault weapons did. Educate yourself. Know what terms & phrases really mean. Please. Don't rely on feelings. Rely on knowledge.

    I'm out of here for now.

    What does any of this have to do with DVD's?

    I'm just angry - I was unable to vote because my penis is too damn large and I couldn't fit in that little booth.

    Here's a true story:

    When I did vote, they didn't check my ID. I thought that seemed strange seeing how we've listened to the two parties priming their "election fraud" lawyers for the last several weeks.

    So I asked the polling attendant: "How do you know I'm who I say I am"?

    She replied: "because your name is in the book."

    Hoo boy...

    At this point, I realized she had Alzheimers, but being the confrontational type, I took it a step further:

    "What's to stop me from coming in here and using my neighbor's name?"

    Her reply (this is classic): "His name wouldn't be in the book".

    "Lady, we're neighbors. We live in the same voting precinct. Of course his name is in the book."

    The conversation went on, but you get my point. Of course, I guess I'm the idiot for trying to make her understand.

    What can you do?

    You realize poll workers don't make election laws right? I mean if the law doesn't say you need to show an ID and she won't let you vote without it that would be illegal.

    bruwery has a point.

    If you knew your neighbor was going to be on vacation and/or was not going to vote,but was a registered voter, you could vote more than once by using your neighbor's name.

    I agree that there are flaws in the system.

    Why don't they ask for identification?

    I believe in some (probably on a couple) states they do. Since things like that are controlled by state governments there probably isn't a single reason why not. In most cases I imagine it's just how things have always been done, and nobody's ever raised enough of a stink about it to get it changed. Keep in mind that a lot of election laws predate the use of modern IDs.

    Vurbal,

    You're right of course, but I guess it just shocked me that nobody updated the election laws given the buildup for this election, and the stink the Algore team made in 2000.

    I'm sure there are reasons. Probably changing the laws would result in "discrimination" against the very few that for whatever reason can't produce a photo ID upon request.
