Two little things I've gotten real tired of

1) Blue is not Democratic and red is not Republican. Until 2000 blue was used for the party that is in the White House. In 1992, Bill Clinton's states were shown in red George H. W. Bush's states were shown in blue. In 1993, Clinton blue, Dole red. I'd like to see the media go back to this and use blue for the Republicans and red for the Democrats in 2008

2) George Bush is not the 43ed president. And I have heard people in the media to actually describe him as the 43ed man to be president of the United States.

1. How is he not the 43 president?
Cleveland 22 and 24. Are you alluding to that?
presidentelect.org uses the colors the way you like.

3. That's what I'm talking about. Like I said there have been people in the media say he's the 43ed

man to become president. Much of the American public is too stupid to understand the non-consecutive terms and the numbering system that came of it.

2. 42nd different man to be president....
But, he's called 43rd because Grover Cleveland is counted twice---22nd and 24th....we didn't go from 23 back to 22 with that little anomoly.

4. bush is not the 43rd president of the u.s.a.
he never was and never will be. he is an utterly disgusting human being whose parents have sold him on the idea that he is god, that no one can or ought to insult him, demean him, call him truthfully for what he is. bush is a thief, a liar, a cheat, a coward, a warmonger as long as he is not in the front lines, a bully without parallel, a country club boy accustomed to the good life, bush commands no moral authority so he demands authority via repression, bush is a jerk, a dictator, and a supremacist.

iraq is not a war. it is an invasion and an occupation.

gore never lost the presidency of the u.s.a. in elections 2000. bush, together with his poppy and his brother jeb along with the supreme court of the u.s.a. stole the elections from gore.

bush is an idiot who, in order to feel good, has to impose his will over you, me, gore, the clintons, the world. bush is malodorous gas stuck in the belly of the world.

5. yes, he is. he was certified by congress and sworn into office.
he may not have received the most votes- but he IS legally the president of the united states.

6. Ah, but the association with red irritates the republics, which is amusing.
