Hmmm....Philippines, E-Mail Scam Central, and my ancestral homeland. I am missing something? :D

On a related note, it seems that Chimp-In-Chief is backing out of one of the 3 scheduled debates where the candidates have to answer questions from a live audience. What a coward.

Calling Bush a coward and Chimp-in-cheif is very close to name-calling, which, ITT is not going to be tolerated.
getting back on topic, I might try cracking into "Unfit For Command" eventually. I figure, that the Liberal/Democratic side has just been unrelenting in their attacks on President Bush, and they bore me now. I'm going to give The Right-Wing an equal opportunity to present their point of view.
And regarding the Debate, according to the article, President Bush never agreed to any of the debates, and they are concerned that the audience might be biased in general, both candidates were under the pretense of an audience of undecided voters, chosen by the Gallup Group.
Just to put this in perspective (if a bit extreme), It would be like Kerry doing a Q&A debate, infront of an audience of Christian Fundamentalists, under the pretense of objective and undecided voters.
my example is obviously a tad extreme, but it illustrates WHY President Bush chose to not participate in it.

Personally, I would welcome the chance to deliver a considered and thoughtful answer to the other side. With all the muckraking that is going on in this campaign, a lot of people are missing the key points. If I were running, I would certainly take the time to speak to rightwing christians and racist hicks, because they are the ones who are the most misled by their leaders. And any candidate who is unable to come up with intelligent rhetoric even in the face of brutal attacks does not deserve to be president. Fast-thinking and cool-headedness are 2 requirements for the office of president.
