Well they said the same of Jimmy Carter and that wrestler in the great white
north. Seems to me that those snowballs didn't melt. Show me a Democrat that
makes sense and I would consider him or her but right now I like the idea of
Kinky and so what if the vote is thrown away. I threw a vote for Kerry away.
The Democratic party so far hasn't shown me anything to get excited about.
There needs to be a lot of showmanship and such to get my attention. Donald
Duck would do but not Mickey Mouse.

religious right is tight with the entrenched status quo. A Democratic
victory would devastate the religious right AND the Republicaners. A
"protest" vote for Kinky, whose idea of protest is to not vote at
all, is an equally empty gesture. If you want entertainment buy a ticket and
attend a performance. The Kinkster hasn't a snowballs chance in hell and
would be even less effective as governor than Ahnold or Jesse, neither of
whom proved to be exceptional leaders. Comedy and music run on nuance, which
is not terribly effective against the likes of DeLay and Rove. Politics is
hard ball.<br>>FM<br>><br>>thorne dreyer

That's a new political gambit for<br>>sure in these times. Unlike the

in the US House of Representatives where he<br>>represented Harris
