Lee Bell - 13 Sep 2008 12:25 GMT The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.
Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest between the two candidates to determine the winner.
After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota. There were to be no observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John Mc. returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.
Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up the next day.
At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with 20 fish and Obama came in again with none.
That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Obama, I think John Mc. is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just how he is cheating.'
The next night (after John Mc. returns with 50 fish), Reid said to Obama, 'Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'
Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting holes in the ice.
'EXPERIENCE' It really does make A huge difference.

And here I thought you were going to talk about the adulterous slimeball's affairs, when he was cheating on his previous wife. But I guess that's OK as long as his name isn't Bill Clinton?

I feel for him for his time in that place and I applaud him for his service, but neither makes it okay to cheat on your spouse.

To be honest, I was not aware that he cheated on his previous wife. It's not the kind of thing I spend much time thinking about and it's really none of my business. Lying to Congress, however, is something I care about and is my business.

Presumably, it would not make it OK for you either. It is not your place, or mine, to decide what is right or wrong between him and his previous or his current spouse.

From wikipedia.com:
"Commanding officer, liaison to Senate, and second marriage McCain's return to the United States reunited him with his family. His wife Carol had suffered her own crippling ordeal during his captivity, due to an automobile accident in December 1969.[53] Her husband became a celebrity of sorts, as a returned POW.[53]
"Having been rehabilitated, by late 1974, McCain had his flight status reinstated, and in 1976 he became commanding officer of a training squadron stationed in Florida.[53][56] He improved the unit's flight readiness and safety records,[57] and won the squadron its first-ever Meritorious Unit Commendation.[56] During this period in Florida, McCain had extramarital affairs, and the McCains' marriage began to falter, for which he later would accept blame.[58][59]"

We've explained it enough times that you must be a Democrat.
Nobody was after Clinton about the hummer.

I wouldn't inquire in public about the details of the relationship between you and Jayna or between you and any of the women you've ever slept with, but then I'm not a loser scumball like you either.
But, were I running for president, I'd answer that question and many more. Obviously I'm not the one who's running for president, and even if I were, I certainly wouldn't be the one hypocritically running on a family values platform.

Perhaps someone's sex life is the standard by which you measure a person's qualification to fill a position. I guess that's what you have to rely on when it's the only qualification your preferred candidate has.
I think it's funny as hell that the Democratic party is comparing Sarah Palin's experience, the vice presidential candidate, to Barak Obama's experience, the presidential candidate, and she's kicking his a.s big time. Think about that. The Republican Vice Presidential candidate is many times more qualified to be President of the United States, than the Democratic candidate for President.

Still by comparison, Obama's foreign affairs experience is his Muslim upbringing.
She's more qualified than your presidential candidate, and we're enjoying the show.

"Gov. Sarah Palin may eventually have said "no thanks" to a federally funded Bridge to Nowhere. But a bridge to her hometown of Wasilla, that's a different story. A $600 million bridge and highway project to link Alaska's largest city to Palin's town of 7,000 residents is moving full speed ahead, despite concerns the bridge could worsen some commuting and threaten a population of beluga whales."
f.ck the whales! f.ck Americans' economic future! Palin for VP! We are the NRA!

Would it sound any different if the bridge linked Anchorage to the state's fourth largest city, one of the fastest growing, allowing commuting by auto instead of by ferry, eliminating the threat of ferries to the beluga population?
Just another way to state the same facts.

"The National Marine Fisheries Service is evaluating whether the isolated beluga whales that breed and feed in the waterway's strong tides should be listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. Palin has publicly urged the government not to list Cook Inlet beluga whales as endangered."
And $600 million is quite a chunk of change to give to a resource-high state in perpetual surplus when our national economy is in the sh.tter, dontcha think?
Or are you still claiming that we're doing fine and dandy? Just another cyclical thang, just like global warming. Yep.

Palin has publicly urged the government not to list Cook > Inlet beluga whales as endangered." Beluga are hardly endangered in either the Pacific or the Atlantic. The idea that a bridge over the Cook Inlet, which is a commercial fishing ground, will endanger the species is ludicrous and the idea that it will bother that particular population is a real stretch of the imagination.
> And $600 million is quite a chunk of change to give to a resource-high > state in perpetual surplus when our national economy is in the > sh.tter, dontcha think? You really have to do more fact checking. The fed portion is $450 million. And remember that Alaska gets 0.15% of transit earmarks, California gets 20.34%
Of course, California is a resource-poor state with nothing to keep it going but wine and homosexuals, but that could be changed with some education.
What we all need is a vice president that knows how to generate a surplus, don't you agree?

Don't worry about the lemmings, they'll buy it back from me near the top and think they're really clever. That's why we have Republicans; the very stupid need a scapegoat for their lack of savvy. That's why we have Democrats; the really stupid need someeone to provide a "safety net" when they trip over their own dicks.
And when the lemmings riot, remind them that the mess we're in today is a direct result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Anyone who didn't see it coming was either in on the scam or pretty stupid.

The Midwest is a cultural crossroads. Starting in the early 1800s easterners moved there in search of better farmland, and soon Europeans bypassed the East Coast to migrate directly to the interior: Germans to eastern Missouri, Swedes and Norwegians to Wisconsin and Minnesota. The region's fertile soil made it possible for farmers to produce abundant harvests of cereal crops such as wheat, oats, and corn. The region was soon known as the nation's "breadbasket."
Since when was California in the midwest?

I'm gonna start calling ya Easy Lee-sy.
"With the aid of scholarships, Clinton attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., receiving a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (B.S.F.S.) degree in 1968."
Ya think that might help a bit more than Palin's newscaster degree from an obscure college?
"He spent the summer of 1967, the summer before his senior year, working as an intern for Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright."
Of course you'll recall that Fulbright was chair of the Foreign Relations Committee. In 1967, the nation was at war. I wonder if Clinton picked up any tidbits there?
"In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant beauty contest." OK, I'll give you that one. Palin is a lot more experienced at beauty contests and that's what these elections turn out to be given the lack of intelligence of the average American voter.
Palin stopped educating after her Bachelor's from the obscure college: "In 1982, Palin enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester, transferring in 1983 to North Idaho College and then to the University of Idaho. She attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska for one term, returning to the University of Idaho to complete her Bachelor of Science degree in communications- journalism, graduating in 1987." Sounds pretty stable to you?
"Upon graduation he won a Rhodes Scholarship to University College, Oxford where he studied Government."
Hmm, a year in a foreign country? Think that might help more than Palin's exotic experience in Idaho? Also, while there, Clinton played rugby, a much manlier sport than Palin's hockey. I bet Clinton could kick her a.s.
Oh, yeah, then Clinton went back to school, another obscure place called Yale: "After Oxford, Clinton attended Yale Law School and obtained a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1973."
He then worked as a college professor for a year before attorney general and then governor. He was governor for 10 years, a little bit longer than Palin's brief career. He chaired the National Governors Association for a year. But much more importantly, Clinton actually accomplished many positives in his long career as governor, in a very, very poor state. Comparing him to Palin is like comparing Cousteau to a newbie. Give it up, you never have a chance.

I'll probably be throwing my vote away on an independent anyway though, so you can pretty much ignore my opinion just like the electoral college (probably) will. :-)
Oh, and by independent, I mean someone who isn't a dem or rep.

I know, and I think you know that my standards are much like your own in this respect. Their marital fidelity, however, really isn't an issue in my decision on how to vote. I'm a lot more concerned with things like experience and platform. The US ecomomy is in terrible shape right now and it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Between the give away programs of the liberals and the pocket lining of some of the conservatives we've had for the last 8 years, recovery is not easy to predict. Personally, I think Obama, and the liberals that support him, are likely to make things worse, a lot worse. Conservatives, on the other hand, if they are honest conservatives, stand a better chance at getting us through this whole. Either way, it won't be easy.
Of course, there is always 2nd Amendment issues. I've been very clear in my position on them and, in that respect there's only once choice for me and it's not Barak Obama.

This is not a time to throw any votes away, no matter which party you prefer.
