Not to ignore the fact those accusations against Ritter hold no water, he wasnt charged with anything either.

Another right wing attempt to discredit character by throwing around rumors, and distorted truths.

What's it like posting lies all the time?

Quote from CNN:
Ritter, a former U.S. Marine, was arrested in 2001 and charged with a misdemeanor, a source close to the investigation told CNN.

Obviously he was charged, contrary to your wholly false statement otherwise, but the case was dismissed as part of the plea bargain. I would tell you to get your facts straight, but that's like asking a tort lawyer to define "responsibility" without using the phrase "deep pockets". Also, if I were charged with a crime like that and absolutely nothing wrong, I certainly wouldn't accept an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal in lieu of a full finding of innocence or an unconditional dismissal of the charges.

This is not accurate. Hitler kept some of the leadership and government systems in place by appealing to thier sense of duty after he invaded Poland to minimize the German manpower needed. GWB is totally revamping the country from leadership by a insignifigant amount of long time exiles to copyright laws to oil production. GWB is costing us taxpayers more than Hiltler would have.

The left would defend anyone who denigrates Bush...even a child molestor.

While many in the right demonize anyone who criticizes Bush-lite, even a Mother Teresa.

I am appalled at the hostility and knee-jerk personal attacks from certain people in this forum whenever someone suggests Bush is anything short of God incarnate. Grow up and learn to open your minds a little.

The majority of the world hates that Moronic drug abusing coward named Bush.

Does that mean they molest children? No. Does molesting children actually have anything to do with this issue besides an attack on Ritter's character? No.

Seen any poll numbers lately? The majority of the UNITED STATES approves of Bush. Seems that you're in the minority where it counts.

Both sides exhibit the same behavior. You only see what you wish.

You're apparently not reading their posts very closely. It's never that people insinuate that President Bush is something short of God incarnate. It's that they call him stupid, or accuse him of being a drunkard, all the while sitting in a ho-hum job pilfering MP3s with Kazaa. If you want to throw accusations around, you might want to look at both sides before doing so.

The majority of Germany approved of Hitler as well, what's your point? Just because the majority follows the leader does not make the leader right. BTW, check out this map of literacy levels in the US. Funny how the majority of people with 9 years or less of education live in predominantly Republican states. MAP. Oh, and this one of the % of people with 9-12 years of schooling without a high school degree: MAP. See a trend here? It's easy to herd sheap.

trend ? no. enlighten us. how do the literacy maps you cite correlate with political participation, voting record,
or civic responsibility ? making such an absurd - though very very popular - association makes you part of the
general crowd, and therefore . . . . sheep. baaaa :p

what if you discover those numbers comprise large number of poor blacks, who tend to overwhelmingly vote
for democrats ?

OK, I'll play. Let us now examine more closely the "Map(s)" you reference.

Map number 1 "Percentage of Population with Less than 9 Years of Education". Hmmmm. Verrrrrrry Interrrresting. Why, most of the darker shaded areas are in border counties in Texas or the heartlands of Kentucky and Tennessee!:Q Um, border counties in Texas, meaning bordering the country of Mexico, meaning a high concentration of aliens. Can you see an obvious connection here?

Now, as much as one shouldn't compare the great state of Tennessee or my birth state, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, evidence to the contrary nevertheless exists regarding party affiliation. The current governor of Tennessee is a Democrat. Tennesseeans voted predominately Democrat in the largest two of the four major metropolitan areas (Shelby-Memphis, Davidson-Nashville) during the last gubernatorial election. 5 of the 9 current U.S Representatives from Tennessee are Democrats. Paul E. Patton, the governor of Kentucky is Democrat. How can such party affiliation exist if these are "predominantly Republican states" as you so imply?

Map number 2 "Percentage of Population with 9 to 12 Years of Education Without High School Degree" Moving right along. Wow, the majority of areas matching this catagory are in the Deep South.

Trivia (Source, CNN):

Georgia: Only one Republican has ever been elected Governor of Georgia: Rufus B. Bullock in 1868.
Arkansas: Sen. Tim Hutchinson is the first Republican senator from Arkansas since 1879.
Tennessee: Tennessee was one of the plum prizes of the 1994 Republican "revolution." The Volunteer State, with a Democratic tradition dating back to Reconstruction, elected two Republican senators.
Louisiana: If you want conservative Democrats, look no further than Louisiana. In the 1996 general election, 46 percent of all Louisiana voters said they were conservatives- but 53 percent also described themselves as Democrats. That made Louisiana the second-most conservative state in the 1996 election- AND the second-most Democratic.

This could be an intersting comparasion if someone has the time to do it.

map 1 % of high school graduate.

map 2 counties by Gore and Bush in 2000 election

Take the two lowest percentile groupings in map 1, overlay them onto map 2. See where the correlation is the highest.

Just giving it a rough look over, it seems as if the correlation is the highest for counties won by Gore, but I could be wrong. Does anyone want to do it?

Einstein was a socialist. Every scientist/engineer I know I would consider liberal even at defense contractors/and national labs like livermore. Every business person MBA's etc like my dad and bro are republicans. Weird. They are all very smart.

I think there's a high correlation between Republican and emotional bitterness. Republicans radiate an attitude that they are getting screwed and deserve to get even. It's a severe parent syndrome, a kind of poor meism coupled with an exaggrated notions that externals like wealth are what make up value and success.

It's fascinating to read Einsteins letters and thoughts on a wide range of subjects beyond science. He was every bit as much a genius in every aspect of thought as he was in physics.

Actually, those with less education are less likely to even vote.

Voting by Educational Attainment: 2000
(Percent who voted of the voting-age citizen population)

Advanced degree-81.9 %

Bachelor's degree-75.4%

Some college or associate degree-63.1%

High school graduate-52.5%

9th to 12th grade, no diploma-38.0%

Less than 9th grade-39.3%

And in other news, it's recently been suggested that Einstein was autistic. Therefore, all liberals must suffer from autism, at least that's the logic in vogue around here. ;)
