13. I like Dan Rather.

He's passionate about peace. I saw him this evening telling the public to get OFF THEIR ASSES AND GO VOTE. He mentioned we have soldiers dying in Iraq and other things...it is our solemn duty to go VOTE!

He gets all misty when he thinks of our young dying in wars...did that last time with Persian Gulf too. He's quirky but I like him overall.

GO GO GO KERRYYYYYYYYYYY :bounce:

14. "Only votes talk, everything else walks" n/t

[Chiyo-chichi]

15. "including spin."

Hey, I'm an angry Hoosier, too.

[Arkana]

16. "What Kerry needs right now is for Tom Brady to come off the bench."

I'm getting pissed at Rather--he keeps calling stuff, and then following it up with a "We're not sure".

[Chiyo-chichi]

17. "Never gamble with strangers, never bet against a Republican in Kansas."

[Chiyo-chichi]

18. "George Bush is sweeping throught the Midwest now like a big combine."

[Chiyo-chichi]

19. "We're on these returns like white on rice..."

a classic.

[Chiyo-chichi]

20. "It's hummin' along like Ray Charles."

Psst, Dan.... Ray Charles is dead.
