apologies gordon. i knew better and should have said that they are 30+. :)

now, how much ya wanna bet that we will be treated to a rant about how we all just wanna relive our mispent teenage years or something?

btw, i was going to vote trade with someone from another list. i had decided to, in part, because i rejoined a list called politics where i encountered, yet again, some of the dumbest twits on the planet: repug supporters. they are just plain stupid, ignorant, mindless, dippy, klewless, bile spewing morons. i keep reading tripe from repugs and cons on these damn lists, unfortunately reading these lists is part of the job. it sickens me how ignorant they are. it sickens me that the very same ignorance and laziness is enshrined in a candidate for president.

i don't like shrubya. i am, also like dennis in so far as the myth of the democratic party still holds sway over me--a holdover from my youth. *sigh* rationally, i know better and this is screwy on my part, i know. anyway, i thought it over Friday and decided that the last thing i want to encourage is a wildly successful shrubya win. i see him as winning no matter what. however, i wanted his win to be a damn narrow one.

why?

because i think it will exacerbate the tensions and splits already present in the right. if the dems lose that will spur the left to do same. such a shake up is good. even better if the shake up is happening on both "sides".

so, i thought, 'ok, i'll vote for bore-breath while my trading partner will vote for naderisimo in a state solidly for shrubya anyway. with any luck, shrubya will only win at the electoral college level and only then by a narrow margin . with any luck he may even fail to capture the popular vote. this would undermine the electoral college system in an important way, i would think.

but reading you leo is having the effect that it has had on others. i can't see voting for borebreath because that only encourages the disingenuousness exemplified by you.
