Finally a Kerry worth voting FOR
Until now most people were merely voting against Bush. But now for
the first time undecided voters are seeing not just someone who is "not Bush" but a man they'd like in the White House. |

Rob,
The wish list is a job well done. Now where is the option to select the ENTIRE catalog and add to the wish list?

A few finishing elves would be nice. I'm not looking forward to putting the finish on the entertainment center. I'm building the one from Woodsmith 249. After assembling the carcases, I realized I'm not building an entertainment center, I'm building a flippin' room. So, a few elves to put on the Danish oil, followed by some Watco wiping varnish would be nice. |

Why would anybody vote for a Traitor? I heard that if he is elected he is
going to appoint Jane Fonda as ambassador to North Vietnam. Would you honestly want to be in a foxhole with this jerk? The morale in the Armed Services overnight will be at an all time low. If he says the Swift Boat guys are lying about him, why doesn't he take them to court and sue them foe slander and defamation of character? They would love to get him on the court room stand.

Ace wins with:
