I'll tell you what I told my mom....I'd vote for Elmer Fudd if he were running against George Bush. We've seen what destruction he's capable of...sending thousands of American soldiers to their deaths to satisfy a personal vendetta he had against Sadam Hussain. It's been proven that there never were any weapons of mass destruction. In fact, when Bush took office 4 years ago Condeleza Rice and Colin Powell plainly stated that the Bush admistration was not concerned about Sadam because he did not have access to WOMD nor did he possess any. We all know that the Bush family (and many of their "buddies") have made huge piles of money off of Saudi investments, that in fact Bush's first company (which he ran into the ground, as he has every company he's ever been directly involved in) was started on Saudi money. So he chose to ignore the fact that Bin Laden was the one we should have been going after for 9/11. The Bin Laden family is so enmeshed with the Bush family that they have nicknames for each other. If you were paid $250,000 a year to protect and secure the future for American citizens, but had billions of dollars of Bin Laden money sunk into your various companies and undertakings, who would your chief alliance be to? It's outrageous that people in America allow themselves to be led by the nose by a man who is a proven liar and quite possibly a sociopath. I'm not saying Kerry is the end all be all, but anything is better than pure evil. And as for an understanding of the realities of war, who should we trust more, someone who actually went or someone who was kicked out of the Air National Guard for refusing to take a physical, possibly because all the coke they'd been doing would show up bigger than s**t?

LOL--there's always room for intelligent, thinking individuals in IL. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in Missouri for school, but I'm done in May, thank goodness. I've spoken with so many people today who just want to be done with this madness and move to a blue state. Can't wait to get back to IL.

Have any openings up there for someone trying to flee the Republican bible belt? I have my things packed, I was ready to go to Canada, but IL might be better... Kelle

yes I live near st louis but I am from Illinois.

Bravo.
