You can add my cousin's dumb ass husband to the list. He keeps putting up a Bush-Cheney sign, and somebody keeps ripping it down or stealing it. He's a British citizen, so he can't vote!!! LOL!! He just wants all the neighbors to know he is a good "Murkin". |

I am having the same problem with a relative of mine who is gay. I thought for sure she would vote for kerry because of the gay issues. To my shock she said she is voting for bush. When i asked why she said because he doesn't change his mind all the time....he's "stable". I just about fell over!
So after watching F-9/11 i called her and asked if she watched it, she said no....i will not give m.moore a dime! I then said what if i buy it and mail it to you, she said she would think about it. By the end of the conversation she said if you mail it i'll watch it. It's on my table ready to go.   |

Thanks for sharing your stories guys (and gals) keep em coming.
I can't ever remember seeing political tensions so high and intense like this before. Bush has polarized this country a whole lot more than I thought. I think the left is still seeking retribution for Gore in 2000. Many are predicting a similar problem this year. It's conceivable that several states may be contested this time though? The people aren't going to settle for a biased Supreme Court decision either. This could turn into a modern day civil war.

Wow, you are so right, KNOW-THIS! 
On a search, the number of results showed that "things" aren't "getting crazy" they've already got there. It's almost unbelieveable:

AFL-CIO thuggery
Thursday, October 14, 2004 Pittsburgh Tribune Review
Not able to compete in the arena of political ideas, Democrats have turned to what they know best -- thuggery. From sea to shining sea, Democrat henchmen have fanned out across this nation to target local Republican headquarters. And the activity has not been limited to simple protesting:http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/archive/s_261577.html

Tucker Carlson, Jon Stewart Feuding
Oct 18, 4:39 PM EST
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- How's this for a feud that straddles the line between politics and entertainment: CNN's bow-tied conservative Tucker Carlson vs. "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
Carlson on Monday fanned embers still hot from their "Crossfire" confrontation, saying Stewart looked ridiculous during his CNN appearance and was a sellout for publicly backing Democrat John Kerry for president.
Stewart, appearing on the debate show Friday, angered Carlson by saying "Crossfire" is "partisan hackery" that does little to advance the cause of democracy.
And that was the mild stuff.
"You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably," Stewart said.
Responded Carlson: "You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think."
"You need to go to one," Stewart shot back.
Carlson complained that for a comedian, Stewart wasn't being very funny.
"Come on," he said. "Be funny."
"No," Stewart said. "I'm not going to be your monkey."
Carlson chided Stewart for lobbing softball questions when Kerry appeared on "The Daily Show" last month.
Later, Carlson told Stewart he was "more fun" on his Comedy Central show, and Stewart called him a jerk — although he used a more vulgar term.
"I thought that he looked ridiculous," Carlson said in an interview Monday, "and I think the tape makes that clear."
Carlson said Stewart continued lecturing the "Crossfire" crew after the show went off the air.
"I wasn't offended as much as I was unimpressed," he said.
Stewart wasn't talking about the confrontation on Monday, a spokesman said. Comedy Central executive Tony Fox said there may be some regret over the vulgarity, but that Stewart has been a longtime critic of cable news networks and their political argument shows.
The comedian hasn't gone out of his way to endorse Kerry. In a public forum last week in New York, he was asked who he would vote for, and he said he'd back the Democrat.
Carlson noted that many of the great comedians kept their political opinions to themselves, not for fear of offending anyone, but because it could hurt their art.
"You're selling out," he said. "If you are a satirist or an acute social observer, and he is, and all of a sudden you suspend disbelief on someone or suck up rather than prod or poke someone, people will look at you and say, `Even if I agree with you, I don't like it,'" he said.
Fox said "The Daily Show" poked fun at people in power, regardless of their party. Most people who watch Stewart are aware that he leans to the left politically.
"I don't think it really impacts the show at all," he said. "The show does what it does regardless of Jon's political persuasion."

I watched that episode too.
I haven't tried it yet but this link supposedly contains the clip? If anyone that missed it is interested you might want to give it a try? Again, not sure what part it shows.
