   I can see it now –

   College kid A: “Dude, for $20 you could put up this anti-Bush site and I can do the HTML for it …. I just learned how.”

   College kid B: “Sweeeeeet”

   Well, I certainly can’t wait for the essay entitled “Why This is Not the Time or the Place to Vote for a 3rd Party Candidate”.

   I can’t wait to see how hard he tries, only to fail miserably, at convincing me of that one.

   Want to waste your vote?
   Vote Republican or Democrat and perpetuate the leftist stranglehold.

   Vote Libertarian. Make a Difference.

   Radley,

   Seein’ as how you think he’s so funny and true, guess that means you’ll post his stuff in the future.

   If this guy’s as sharp as Henley it should be fun.

   I love new meat.

   Of course if you DON’T post any of his stuff, guess we’ll know why.

   It was an effing joke, Rocketman.

   As for Henley, I’ve read his blog for about two years now. As for you, I’ve read your comments on this site.

   In a battle of wits between the two of you, I’d wager my life savings, my dog, my left kidney and my first born that Henley wins in a first round rhetorical knockout.

   And I’d sleep just fine making that wager.

   The problem is, you’re so dim, I doubt you’d even realize you’ve been beaten.

   I don’t normally venture into the comments section to put people down. In fact, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever done it.

   But frankly, you irritate the hell out of me.

   As I noted then, Henley’s post was finished long before I got there. (nuking Korea–yeah right!)
   As for your first-time putdown,thanks, it’s an honor.

   Frankly I find people who like to evaluate and criticize Bush in the real world while hiding behind a gridlock strategy that protects them from suggesting REAL WORLD alternatives–a tad irritating myself. So to that I say–
   THANKS IT’S WHAT I’M HERE FOR!!

   Rocketman, the validity of your positions aside, your rhetorical proclivities tend toward the bombastic and jesterly. I’d like to hear you argue your points rationally and logically, and I really do mean that. Don’t descend into juvenile tit-for-tat. It demeans you and wastes space in the comments section. My scrolling finger gets tired.

   Radley, don’t be drawn in by Rocketman’s antics. Weather them and prevail. Whatever he says, I’m still reading.

   Matthew Peck:

   “Rhetorical proclivities” or no,I’d like to believe that I in fact DO argue my viewpoints rationally and logically. You notice Radley wasn’t kind enough to EVER point out any rational or logical flaws in ANY of my postings.

   I’m always interested to see any one else’s attempts to do so.That’s why I post. Do I always think I’m right? Of course–if I thought I was wrong, I’d change my mind-what other rational attitude is there?

   I regard this “gridlock strategy” as a form of ideological vandalism. “I don’t have anything”(to be “Libertarian is to be practically speaking-irrelevant and to ‘have nothing’)reasons the vandal but I can take what you have away from you”.

   I don’t mind stupid people voting for Kerry–I can accept that. But when people who know better “shake up that paint can” to vote for Kerry and Ha Ha Ha it’s a big joke, well that kinda pisses me off. I was only too happy to share this feeling with Radley.
   Thanks Radley for showing the pain.

   As for you Matthew I respect the constructive nature of your advice though I can’t promise to always follow it.

   Heard Rush yesterday mention this web site. Of course he was incredulous that anyone could believe all the “bad” things Kerry has been doing, and still vote for him.
