geez dave, you make it sound like chuck has no right to mope
chuck, have you ever heard of hugh hewitt? he's on the radio, i'm just not sure where around here, and is quite the conservative. he has a book called "if it's not close, they can't cheat- crushing the democrats in every election and why your life depends on it," i recommend you read it. i just started it a couple of days ago, and i think it's quite interesting -
Not moping at all, I kinda expected it, but am still disappointed.
To answer the important issues....yes, the car is running, tranny is back in it, new suspension, wideband O2 on way, header on way, couple other goodies on the way as well.
I am also going to take this opportunity to let you all know that I will be running for a city/county office in the next two years.... As a democrat, but a fairly conservative democrat (or one REALLY liberal republican...lol). I ask for your support!

What kind of legal/political background do you have? Any kind of law school? Or what kind of education period?

This is no doubt probably true. You think they'd have practice w/ throwing the baseballs; cuz isn't it like a tradition to have the pres. in the 1st game throw the 1st ball? or did that dwindle away???

I have a degree as an electronics technician. I'm not going to lie and pretend I have a better degree than that. I have a degree in living in a state that continues in the same rut year after year after year. I have a degree of working in the middle class. I have a degree of running my own business for over 4 years. I have a degree in wanting a better future and economy for the state of ND. I probably have done more political research than most of this board combined.Any other questions on my experience?

Chuck, when running for office make sure you don't pretend you can play sports if you can't. I'm pretty confident Kerry would be president now if he wouldn't have pretended to have been able to play football.Ok, won't pretend....though I did have a football scholarship in the works had I not injured my neck in HS. I competed (rather poorly) in Basketball, Wrestling (we didn't have hockey) and Track in HS as well. -
Iowa state (or the whole state) sucks Chuck so that doesnt count. Wrestling is a plus on the ol resume though.

couldn't resist....

You know what, I am going to take the optimistic approach this time around. I am hoping that Bush will realize that some mistakes were made and will work towards correcting them. Now that the election is over, he has nothing to lose by admitting to them. Perhaps he will try and involve the international community a little more in the rebuilding of Iraq. Hopefully both sides can put aside political issues and work together to do what is best for our country. We, the voters, deserve that much. Even though this may sound like a flip-flop, I still have hope for Bush. He is my president, and I will stand behind his decisions (even if I don't fully support them) and trust that he is leading the country the best he can. Like John Kerry said, it's time for the healing to begin, it's time to find the common ground that all seemed to be forgotten during the election. It's time to do what is best for this country regardless of what our political allies might think. Basically it's time for America to start kicking a little more ass! To do this, we will need the help of other nations. While I think that removing Sadom (borrowing the spelling from DaveH) from power was a good thing, I think it would go a long way towards winning the peace by inviting more countries to help with the rebuild, if for no other reason so that the insurgents will see that this is truly a world wide effort to HELP their country, rather than a gung-ho US military invasion of their country. IF we can pull this off, we will undoubtedly be restored to our prestige that we once had. If we fail in Iraq we only invite more failure. It's time to rekindle old allies and work towards a common goal of worldwide freedom and peace. It won't be easy, but nothing that is worth it ever is. I just hope that everyone in Washington will share my views and concerns.
