LMAO! I finally got myself in a mindset to trudge thru all the self-interest misinfo in this thread (don't ask - a few things in it do have credibilty though). The biggest sore thumb about this whole thread, and ones like it on other BB's, is the incredible passion some of you have in your argued beliefs; much of it from biased misinfo to outright baseless info (not all of it, of course, but way too much of it) and such incredible intolerance of other's opposing views. Reading this is akin to sitting thru a session of congress. As I said, LMAO. Three other things stand out also: 1- I doubt anyone's voting mindset will be changed by this thread; including the "open minded" guy who started it . Most of you will vote for the one that will benefit you the most! Quit trying to bull**** us your way. 2- I have no doubt that Mr. Gore will be a better pres concerning what's best for our fish runs; by far! No bull**** there (scroll down and read "Who's for the fish -- or not?" by Scaly, and see what a non-partisan fish study group based near Wash. D.C. unvieled about the voting and platform records of the 2 candidates debated here, and all members of congress too. No suprise where the chips fell, but a little suprising just how utterly partisan the agendas are! UGLY! 3- While I am a little left of center and believe that Gore will likely be a better overall choice for the majority of U.S. citizens (although nobody knows for sure), I leave this thread being a little more comfortable than I was that we will have some balance with a conservative congress if he does win. And if the repub.'s could eventually come up with a half decent candidate a little closer to neutral that would win, then have a slightly liberal congress; that could be good too. Don't see either happening real soon. Always have to chose the lesser of 2 evils? - And I also leave this thread with a good bit of my thinning hair lying on the keyboard here. - RT
