RESPONSE: Samir, considering what transpired in Poinguin after you implored Goanetters not to vote for I. Ferns.......one can only foretell the results of the US election.....:-) Some Goanetters have shared some wonderful insights and analysis of why Americans should vote for or against Dubya.....While The Economist, Harpers, Foreign Affairs and other such intellectual media in nearly all streams of soceity have openly written about incoherent policies of Dubya's administration......very few make a case to vote for Kerry instead. It's more about don't vote for Dubya - the greater of the two evils. Kerry remains the un-Presidential looking President-wannabe !! On most serious issues, there has been little or no evidence that Kerry would reverse policies that Dubya has formulated and implemented......it's all about being at the right (wrong) place at the right (wrong) time !! Not to be outdone in this media frenzy, even O. B-laden has stepped into the limelight with the release of his new video that came in straight at number 1 on the News Networks. It's obvious he wants Dubya to win.....for now it appears he feels Dubya is the only one he can rely on to perpetuate violence against Americans. In recent US history, a President's second term has been pernicious to their self-image - Reagan (Iran-Contra) and Clinton (Lewinsky-gate). So even if Dubya rides back into 1600 Penn Ave on his Elephant-faced steed.....there possibly could be further hiccups than those witnessed in his first term. If Dubya loses Tuesday night........or in December - assuming they are still counting in FL.....;-).....Leno, Letterman, O'Brien and the other stand-ups will not be short on Presidential jokes as Kerry has been a regular feature of their repertoire. Heck....it's the last Saturday before the US elections.....could well be the last night for Dubya-jokes on Saturday-Night-Live.....I'm tuning out of here into Live-from-New-York........:-) Best wishes - Bosco --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goanet - http://www.goanet.org - Goa's premier mailing list is 10 years old
