I have been scared silly after having heard several reports of these
backroom antics a few months ago. In the local newspaper (buried
in the middle of the first section), was an article talking about
JDQ's success at stifling EPA regulations under the guise of this
"Competitiveness Council." What else is JDQ up to?

Organization: Iowa State University, Ames, IA

Let's go over what we know already:

1.  Bush and Quayle are strongly anti-abortion.
2.  Both SAY they support family values.( i.e. NO single mothers )
3.  Bush says he would counsel his grandchild against abortion, but would
	let her choose.  "Who else's choice COULD it be?", he asks.
4.  Isn't this the same guy who has been telling us for 12 years that it 
	should be the government's choice?


How about a new question for each of them (Bush/Quayle)??
Posed with the following problem, what would you do?

Your happily married daughter (or granddaughter) becomes pregnant.  Her
husband tells her that if she does not get an abortion, he will divorce 
her.  She's stuck either way.  If she has the kid, she becomes single.
If she gets an abortion, she has SINNED, and if Bush has his way, committed
a crime.  

It would be nice if someone in the press would ask the Prez and/or Danny 
this question.

Just my thoughts,

Oh, please! Go to alt.atheism and read the FAQ. Atheists (most of us, at least)
do not assert the non-existence of "god." We merely hold that since there is no
proof of her existence, why bother with all this mumbo-jumbo? Do you believe in
the Great Pumpkin too?

So has Dane ever said anything about atheists? (Or, have his handlers written
anything for him about atheists?) I know Bushe's views (and the two Pats'), and
I'd like something from Quayl for completeness. A direct quote would be really
nice.

No, Dan has always been an idiot. The country generally doesn't
care about idiot politicians unless they get placed in a dangerous
position in the Government. So, if Indiana or South Carolina want
to send a Danny or a Jesse Helms to the Senate or House as a 
massive joke on the rest of the Country, we'll chuckle a bit and
tolerate it.

If the President of the USA appoints one to serve as his Heir
Apparent, then we get pissed.

Along with many others here, I've been giving some thought to the demise of
this group.  I think we need to practice the politics of inclusion on this, and
come up with an alt.fan group that will include not only Our Boy, but other
politicians and preachers (if one can tell the difference anymore in the GOP)
who are worthy of admiration, ridicule, scorn, etc.  Possibilities:

alt.fan.stupid-pols
alt.fan.radical-right
alt.fan.gop-crazies

The bottom line is that, in the first week of November, Dano will no longer be
fun to abuse.  He'll just slide back into the abyss from whence he came.  We
will still need a place to have fun with folks like Adolf Buchannan, Pat 'God
Still Talks to Me' Robertson, not to mention the silly Democrats that will come
back out of the woodwork after the Clinton/Gore campaign removes their muzzles.

Interesting observation.  He would not be the first to pull
such a ploy.  When I was growing up in Chicago, Mayor
Richard Daley I did much the same thing:  appearing in public
as a semi-articulate "man of the people" like you'd find in
any Chicago bar, which being the master manipulator at the
local, state, and eventually national level.

Or maybe the Dandroid is viewed by the RepubliCons in the same
light as they viewed Ronnie Reagan:  a simpleton whom they
can mold in whatever image they need.

If he loses the election in November, we may never know
the real essence of Dan-o.  Wouldn't that be nice?

No, what's going to happen is the following:
	-During the next month, Bush will call on an international embargo
	 against Norway to punish us for whaling.  After several weeks of this,
	 he will announce that the embargo isn't working.
	-One or two weeks before the election, we get bombed.  Norway has even
	 less of a chance than Iraq did.  It'll be even easier than invading
	 the State of Washington; a quick victory to rush some IQ-reducing
	 adrenalin through a sufficient proportion of the American voters...

Oh, man.  Please tell me you're not referring to Ollie North.  That

running for the seat now occupied by Chuck Robb, who's done everything in
his power to torpedo his own career, he just might make it if he runs.  On
the other hand, maybe we'd all be safer with him in the Senate than trying
for the Presidency.  What do you think -- should we Virginians make the
sacrifice and elect Ollie to represent us on Capitol Hill so the rest of
you can sleep soundly at night?  (Just remember, if we put him in the
Senate, don't laugh at us -- we did it for you!)
