I'm leaning towards Edwards because I think he is the only one with a chance of beating Bush. The democratic candidates are more fiscally conservative than Bush. The democrats are more liberal on environmental issues too. Bush is bad for salmon and steelhead.

Actually there is a concerted effort to raise wages in this country. Many politicians want to raise the minimum wage to $10. Now that minimum wage would cover the jobs the illegals take along the border states especially. Washington State has the highest minumum wage at I think $7.15hr. The reason things are being outsourced and illegals are coming here by the millions is that Americans have lived so long with the government giving to them and unions fighting for them that they constantly want more and more and more...

I am biased I guess as I have very rarely been paid a wage in my life. I don't punch the clock and don't belong to a union or work for a state or federal agency.

Oh I almost forgot..When you Bush haters fill out your tax returns this year please send all that extra money you will receive back to the government. If you pay taxes that is.

ON a side note, I searched high and low for a clip of Dean's war cry on the web. Fox had removed their link and one other that had video had removed it as well. Wish I could find the video. I wonder what the deal was with Fox taking it down? I'm so disgusted that my union endorsed Dean a month ago.

I see the picture of your kid in your avatar and it makes me wonder. Have you thought about the fact that he will be paying for the deficit Bush created for the first 30 working years of his life?

P.S. that is a great picture \:\)

Actually Grandpa it's you who should be turning in your dollars. It will be put to good use and eventually trickle back down to you. More tried and failed Reagonomics. The slight tax cut you receive does not come close to the extra dollars you are paying at the pumps, the energy scam played upon the west, the fake natural gas shortage, etc.
This president is spending more money and his percentage increase in spending is larger than any other president. The bubble has to burst eventually. Or maybe a new president can prevent that. I see the election going either a slight edge to Bush or he will lose in a land slide. Remember, he didn't win the majority vote the first time around and voters are much worse off now.

That's the best part, grandpa2! Bush gave us all that money back to "jump start the economy". What did I do with all those nice greenbacks Uncle George gave me? I invested them. Not a dime went directly back in our economy.

Bwahahahahaha!

Thanks Uncle George for many thousands of dollars I will see many years from now. Man, I love it when the Gov-Ment gives me free investing capital!

Still not going to vote for the man, even if he does give me lots of free money.

Kodak is eliminating 12,000 jobs. They will stop selling film cameras in NA and W Europe. Why because digital cameras are so popular.
Lets find a way to blame it on GW .

Parker you work for the State so you get a lot of free money. More holidays and benefits than any private company. Plus you have to work half as hard as anyone else and they cannot fire you.

Figure it out! Unless you hid your money under your matress it went directly back into the economy.

Parker....no personal attacks now..I notice that my tax bracket went down by I think 2%..I don't know about you but to me that is serious dough. My daughter will get $1000 for her child this year too...I know that money will get spent. Don't know who to actually thank but I know it ain't Howard Dean.

Shouldn't you all be busy writing letters to NOAA Fisheries to protest WDFW's request for a higher wild steelhead mortality? :rolleyes:

The results of this poll are a little shocking in a state that has so many democrap supporters.
My vote Bush hands down.Maybe after Goerge gets done with another 4 years Jeb will run.

I'm guessing there are more conservative anglers than liberal based on the poll. Meaning that for this state our little forum is an anomally. Kinda like I would expect PETA members to be predominantly liberal minded and not your typical conservative.

A poll asking if you're liberal, conserverative, or independant would be interesting to see. If, that is, I was logging on to this site for my daily dose of politics...


Brian - are you talking Bush or Dean?

Anybody but Bush for me.

I am a single issue voter based on hunting and fishing.

Bush has sacrificed habitat that supports fishing and hunting on every opportunity.

In Bushes utopia, it will be like Texas or Europe. Wildllife and hunting will be essentially private and only maintained for the rich where a private profit can be made.
