I believe that the gentleman is parlaying a little play-on-words here...

There was an excellent little film called Owning Mahowney (sp?) from a few years ago. The flick was based on a true story about some banker that embezzled millions to gamble at Vegas and Atlantic City.

The lead was exceptionally well done by Phillip Hoffman - another one of those under-valued actors. Great story, good movie, excellent acting.

good choice by kerry...i voted for the republican presidental nomination since bush senior, and i will be voting for kerry this time around...in fact, i'd take clinton back in a heartbeat...i consider myself a conservative and a christian, just not dumb

Ya, good choice...starkly reveals Democrats for the hypocrites they are...The richest man in the Senate at 1,000,000,000 bucks, then John Edwards following closely with big-frivilous-law in his back pocket.

Is anyone so out of touch to think that there will ever be a candidate on the presidential ticket who isn't in the top 5% of the US economic class? Have we forgotten about the pile of cash our current 2 good 'ole boys sit on? If the dem's are hypocrites, then what does that say about a republican who is picking on their wealth when our president is an oil mogul and our VP isn't exactly starving to death either. This has to be the most rediculous left/right bashing I've ever seen.

I've watched a few of these threads and it's extraordinary how both sides seem to think their party is absolutely without fault. Follow this for a minute- the candidates are people, people are inherently flawed = our candidates will have flaws. Was that so difficult? Guess what- the dem's are hypocrites and so are the republicans, in fact, I've never met anyone in my life who hasn't been hypocritical at some point. Good grief. Argue issues/policies all you want, but making light of character flaws that are inherent human attributes is pretty pointless don't you think?

Mull--once again, you type and it sounds like a Limbaugh commercial.

Lynn...LOL...I couldn't agree more

I can relax now.

I thought Kerry-Dean would be a great ticket opposite Bush-Cheney. Kerry said he was 'exploring' that option.

Dean now campaigns FOR Bush-Cheney.


I thought Kerry-McCain would be a great ticket against Bush-Cheney. Kerry said he was 'exploring' that option.

McCain now campaigns FOR Bush-Cheney.


The Kerry campaign this morning actually described Edwards as 'Clintonesque'.

I am still trying to figure out what that means.


I spend several months a year in Raleigh, and have never heard of anyone there that likes Edwards. I know there is someone there that likes him, after all, they did elect him to the Senate. Once.

Who you calling a hypocrite, white bread? Bush and Cheney ain't poor boys either and guess what--you got as much chance of being invited to their country clubs as I do--unless you is good at wiping down tables or carrying golf clubs.

Kerry married his money (fortune made by a Republican), Edwards destroyed doctors, drove up medical care costs and used poor people to get rich, while they got pennies.

Otay?

Never, never, never.............Dean is his own man and supports John Kerry without reservation. Getting the fraud Bush out, is job one.

People really do care, and it does matter. Remember H. Ross Perot's running mate? That choice pretty much put the nail in his coffin.

WHAT??? Can you repeat that????

You know kach, as weird as that sounds, I am pretty certain I saw that somewhere. I was offshore for the last few days (no newspapers) so I suspect I heard or saw it somewhere.

I'll look for a reference when I have time this evening.

Trial lawyers typically take on cases on a contigency basis. That is to say that if they don't win, they don't get paid. That's a risk of a lot of time and effort to not get a cent. Then when their client wins they typically get around 40% of the win. Leaving their client with 60%. Granted I think those numbers are a bit out of whack but I don't take the risk that trial lawyers do with their livelyhood. I don't get paid or not based on the success of my day at work. If I fail at work one day I still get paid for it.


Granted I'm generalizing and I know THAT will get torn apart for sure but...whatever.

Mull the witless---

Why are you so ****ed up about Kerry marrying well? What's wrong--can't get a date? If you would give Mr. Right Hand a rest, you too might meet a financial catch--of course you will have to keep your ****ing mouth shut during the courtship.

Edwards--Even if the plantiff only receives 50% they still get financial relief awarded by a JURY. Doctors don't get destroyed unless they are witless like you and make stupid mistakes like cutting off a man's penis by mistake or leaving their wrenches inside some poor slob's stomach.

Once again, stupid language to make your stupid point.

OK, I have not found anything about Howard Dean supporting GWB.

Must have been those foreign beers on the sailboat race over the weekend. I was sure I had heard that, even discussed it with others on the boat. Oh well.

I sure wish Techweenie was around. He has sources and methods that are waaaay beyond mine.

[mikester]

Deans website states specifically that he supports Kerry/Edwards.

Or it could be that all the oxygen depravation and cosmic ray bombardment from flying has damaged your brain.

[singpilot]

THAT is VERY likely.

Or the fact that I turned 51 today. Yes, the same birthday as Nancy Reagan and ........ someone else... I can never remember.


OH! Kathy Lee Gifford!

I know, I know, it's all a commie plot.

[mikester]

Happy birthday, we both have an '80 SC!

HBD. Is your employer going to force you to retire at 55?

[singpilot]

No, that seems to be holding steady at 60.

Thanks everyone, am off to have dinner!

Actually I heard Dean was supporting Bush as well yesterday. May have to try and find the source of it as well. Thought it sounded funny at the time.
