j2k4,

You'd be proud of the slagging off he gave Clinton/Gore

...which no doubt required the totality of whatever redemptive qualities Mr. Moore possesses.

[Rat Faced]

HE Defended Bush on some things...

Not because he agreed with what had been done, but because Bush was merely continuing Clintons policies in these areas, and was getting the Blame unfairly...



I think he's a little bit of an anarchist, our Mr Moore.... definatly not a Democrat, way too far to the Left for that.

I feel he may be happier in Europe than the USA

I expect you are correct, however, the money is in the U.S.; also, I believe Moore is addicted to the dissenters here, and there would necessarily be less of that in Europe, at least to start.

Actually, I think Europeans would tire of him in relatively short order.

I caught a snippet on the radio which seemed to be suggesting that his movie is doing well. He may be more than happy in the US - especially if he feels his message is going over well.

His movie is doing very well, and critiques of same are also garnering interest, so I guess the great public debate is, after a fashion, underway.

He personally is aided by a not-so-extraordinary talent for finding himself amongst those who are normally disposed to agree with his views, and avoiding dissenters.

Much like Dick Cheney.

Just so-

Debate is a tremendously wearing endeavor, is it not?

Poor Richard has a tired ticker, too.

Which is somewhat worrisome given that he would appear to be running mate for the second term. Whilst he may be a tad tricky he is at least cognisant of what is going on. :helpsmile:

As an aside, I heard today some speculation that Bill Clinton (as the de facto head of the Democratic Party) is preparing to put the kibosh on John Kerry&#39;s emerging prospect veep, John Edwards (I have forecast Edwards as Kerry&#39;s choice, and also what follows, as the only possible exception), offering instead Hillary as Kerry&#39;s partner; Clinton believes (correctly, in my mind) that Edwards&#39; candidacy would forestall Hillary&#39;s chances in &#39;08, and perhaps beyond.

So-

The Dems are left with a BIG decision: Who&#39;s gonna run the show?

The candidate, or the ex-pres?

Herewith, another prognostication:

Kerry goes with Edwards, Kerry loses.

Kerry goes with Hillary, and loses big.

And just think-it&#39;s all up to ole&#39; Bill&#33;

Now, that&#39;s some funny shit.



EDIT: Almost forgot:

Part of the same discussion was this little tid-bit:

Cheney steps aside for Condi Rice as Veep.

God, would I love that-Condi debating Hillary?

Condi would destroy her, and that is no lie.

Who cares who Kerry runs with....... We&#39;re more concerned who cheney runs with

Saw a cartoon on CNN but couldn&#39;t find it on the web
