  The reason I typed (HOW LOUD WAS IT) was to point out another media bias.
I remember when President Bush was Booed at a major league Baseball game re-
cently (I think it was the All Star Game). Every TV news program I watched 
actually played the sounds of the boos. Why werent we given the pleasure to
here fellow americans booing Governor Clinton ? Did anyone actually here a
sound recording of the Clinton Boos on a National or Local TV news program ?

<snigger> You "know", do you? Tell me, *how* do you know? Are you perhaps a

Whereas your knowledge of him is ... biblical?

Believe me, we are acquainted with Dannikins and he does not improve upon
acquaintance.  The boy may impress you with his elegant profile, or his
distinguished rhetoric, or his moral authority.  So be it.  Intellectually,
he is a zero, a cipher, a mere nothingness.  In the immortal words of

           That man is so stupid it sits on him like a halo.

I challenge you to give me one good reason to believe that he would be a

Bah, people have always sought advice from those "experts" that they
themselves respect.  We all get information from books, TV, magazines,
and the free and open debate with others (like here).  That people ask
Rush for evidence shows that they have not resorted to the "Rush says
so" argument which is what you are saying above.  Not everyone is as
eloquent as TV/Radio personalities and there are just as many people
using Liberal spokesmen's positions as there are using Rush's.

	If you are talking about the gas tax, I think it's just to
give a stable source of funding.

	Actually, cars in America are subsidized pretty heavily. I've
seen estimates that the true cost of gasoline would be about $3 or $4,
or even $10 in areas like Manhattan, if all indirect subsidies were
counted in. These include road building, property taxes lost to city
roads, accident litigation and health care costs, and so forth. For
example, despite fuel taxes and registration fees, roads are 38%
subsidized.

There is certainly a difference between oration and statesmanship.  The
Quayle bashers have equated the two but I do not.  Great orators of 
history have include such people as Hitler and Churchill but the underlying
value system of the two was vastly different.  

If the people want an orator then Quayle is not their man.  Perhaps you
prefer demagogues to statesmen.

Not true, mon ami.  If you take a little closer look at those poverty numbers
you'll find that the story isn't quite what it seems on the surface. Case
in point is that the income used in determining poverty status excludes
welfare payments and food stamps (other significant items such as real
assets are also ignored).  Someone can qualify as "poverty stricken"
based on the recent report, and, when ALL sources of income are
considered, have a significant income and reasonable life style.
 
Hence youre conclusion that the current administartion has put an end
to welfare queens (or kings for that matter) is not justified based on
this evidence alone.

The ridicule of Dan Quale has gone far enough!  It's gotten so bad that
the jokes are preceived as fact.  People actually believe that Quale

Not a very serious gaffe, if any, on Quayle's part.  While cruise missiles
are not designed to hit the door or window, they *are* designed to hit
specific buildings.  Not only are they designed to do it, they do hit  
buildings.  Just check out any of the pre- or post Gulf War Tomohawk
promotional videos.  Unfortunately for the critics, since doors and
windows are often embedded in buildings, some cruise missiles have been
observed entering the structure through these features.

Yes, how "poor" is someone who OWNS their own home (as 40% of those
in the latest group of poverty stricken people do), have air
conditioning, color TV, own automobiles, etc.

"Poor" people in the US are better off than just about everyone
in most parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.
