Cousin Elwood,
1. Mathematically, it doesn't PROVE that Kerry is not the choice of a majority of cops. Until we see a ballot that shows "50.000001%" of cops are against Kerry, then we haven't proved anything. That is all I am saying. It does make the claim a little questionable, and I would like to know why he does claim to be the choice of cops, but I don't see that the FOP slamming him PROVES that isn't the cops choice. I am not saying he is, I am just not willing to accept the FOP statement as proving he isn't, since it doesn't according to mathematical fact. Let's not forget, most presidents are not elected by a majority, the are elected by a majority of electoral college votes, which often equates to a majority of voters (although in Bush's case not), but the voting populace is still much less than the eligible populace. So Bush couldn't even claim to be the choice of "most Americans." And even though Gore won the popular vote in 2000, even he couldn't claim to be the choice of "most Americans."
2. See above.
3. I'd like to know how you can claim he wasn't on vacation? None of us really knows how much time he spent "working," whether in the Oval Office or not. All I know is that he was in the White House less than any other president, and to me, during everything that has been going on during his presidency, that is a bad thing. Just my opinion. But for you to say that Bush was not on vacation, unless you are really Dick Cheney or someone else truly in the know, is impossible.
4. Technically, it is impossible to compare the schedules, so I apoligize for that. As president, Bush makes his own schedule more than Kerry does. If Bush wants to meet on the ranch, people come to him. The intelligence comittee wouldn't come to Nantucket, even if Kerry wanted them to. Most politicians would get fired in civilian life; I think that is why the become politicians.
There too many lies on both sides to cover. I would encourage EVERYONE to visit [b]FactCheck.Org[b] to straighten out the truth. It is a non-partisan website that shows the lies on both sides. Make your decisions based on the truth, not on party rhetoric.
My opinion: Kerry sucks, Bush sucks more. I yearn for Abe Lincoln, who is, IMO, the best president we have ever had, and probably will ever have.
