I REALLY love you two bros!! Really, I do!
Bass, my handle's derived from the fact that I'm a bleeder from Madrid-- football, rugby, boxing (and fencing--welts from this sport--LOL). Sometimes a captain, sometimes a journeyman- depending on the sport & mood.
Don't play games anymore. Unfortunately, I'm all "growed" up... I think. Sorry, but don't see the relevance of the Olympics any more.
Ah ha, Rayder, you haven't seen my posts, have you?
If you had waded through them, you would know that I HAD been a RELIGIOUS, pro-life, right-wing, Republican conservative since Nixon. I had also been somewhat politically active, and a founding member of "Friends of Dan Quayle", etc., etc. ad naseum. The Republican White House "rewarded" me with two invites (only made one). So you're partially wrong.
Must have had an epiphany along the way (in the last 3- 4 years) thanks to Rick, Cavallo, Pat Buchanan, and especially dubya. Their arguments (and dubya's inanities) combined with my life experiences have forced me to reconsider. That's why I'm voting for Kerry/Edwards- Rickamaven talked me outta voting for the sure-fire loser, Nader (or Nadar per Rick).
I still haven't left the flock completely just straddling the ideological fence for a while (moderate/independent?). Comprendes?
Oh, and I still yawn at the thought of the Olympics.
Bloody Tired
