Resolved Question: An Ungodly Immigration Policy say the Churches God never meant any country to have immigration laws Does?

An Ungodly Immigration Policy? Written by Mark D. Tooley Tuesday, 01 June 2010 06:24 Border and Enforcement of Immigration Law Front Page Magazine The 1.1 million-member United Church of Christ (UCC) is trying to raise $50,000 for a media campaign, including a newspaper ad in the Phoenix newspaper The Arizona Republic, to blast that state's new immigration enforcement law. Church prelates hope the ad will appear on May 29, when reputedly 500,000 will march in Phoenix against the law. As America's most left-wing Christian denomination, the fast declining UCC's zeal for political activism perhaps compensates for its lack of evangelism. Having lost about half its members in recent decades, and several hundred congregations in recent years, the 1.1 million member denomination, at least as expressed by its elites, unapologetically plunges ahead with the latest causes du jour. "God's love knows no borders" the proposed ad will sermonize, as though that point were the issue. The UCC's top bureaucrat for "Justice and Witness Ministries" is also prominently quoted in the ad draft, asserting: "It is now legal for Arizona's law enforcement to single people out because of the color of their skin, the language of their ancestors, their place of, or even the way they dress." She further snidely alleges: "When racism raises its ugly head and our nation's core justice values are at stake, fear cannot be an excuse to remain silent." When the Religious Left alleges racism, it's usually because it has so few other arguments at its disposal. In the mid-20th century, liberal Mainline Protestantism waged serious moral campaigns against authentic racism, and on behalf of other admirable causes. Now an embarrassing shadow of once prestigious religious institutions, left-leaning Mainline Protestants have exhausted most of their Christian moral capital. When they speak politically, they typically only spout bumper sticker slogans that slam their targets as racists, militarists, or exploitative profiteers. "This law is nothing less than a modern day Jim Crow law of the 19th and 20th centuries," virtually shrieked UCC President Geoffrey Black in the immediate aftermath of the Arizona law enforcement law's passage. He insisted: "The immigrant rights struggle is a contemporary civil rights struggle!" In typical fashion, he did not differentiate between illegal and legal immigrants, making his own sweeping ethnic assumption that all Hispanic immigrants, and their U.S. born descendants, essentially think alike. That many legal immigrants themselves favor immigration law enforcement is a possibility not recognized by the Religious Left, which is too busy advocating its mainly WASP theoretical version of multiculturalism to ponder what immigrants themselves actually want. Rev. Black claimed the new Arizona law will mandate "racial profiling of persons of color" that will assault the "rights of women, men and children, citizens and non-citizens alike." But what of the rights of women, men and children of all races in Arizona who expect a lawful society that regulates who can enter their state from outside the U.S. border? Of course, the main victims of uncontrolled illegal immigration, who are legal immigrants, and the native born working class, do not typically constitute the constituency of the upper middle class, and almost all white, Anglo UCC or other Mainline Protestant denominations. The UCC is among the most blue blooded of America's old-line churches, having descended literally from the Pilgrim Fathers and the New England Puritans. Like its 17th Puritan preacher ancestors, the UCC loves to inveigh against perceived evils. But while the Puritans primarily were concerned about the sin in their own hearts, the theologically modernist UCC is mostly focused on lambasting perceived sin in other people's hearts. "We urge our brothers and sisters in the United Christ of Christ and our faith partners to resist hate, and insist that just immigration reform embodies our Christian understanding to love our neighbors," Rev. Black implored. "We call upon the President of the United States and members of Congress to enact comprehensive immigration legislation that protects the rights of all who reside in the United States." Do illegal immigrants have the same rights to residence and government services as citizens and legal immigrants, in the UCC/Religious Left perspective? Apparently so. http://www.rightsidenews.com/2010060110405/border-and-sovereignty/an-ungodly-immigration-policy.html An Ungodly Immigration Policy say the Churches God never meant any country to have immigration laws Does Mexico know this as they shoot and kill illegal border crossers ? more

I have this biology project about slogan campaign on preservation of wildlife and endangered species. I've been looking for days in the internet of a good slogan but can't decide on what to choose because I don't think it would give me an A+. I've always been on top of the class, and I don't want to screw it up. This project takes half of my biology grade.

Resolved Question: Is campaign slogan 4 banker PR against 'populist overreaction' 2 bailouts 'stop complaining abt being fleeced'?

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aNBWPPxGyWaU "Wall Street’s largest trade group has started a campaign to counter the “populist” backlash against bankers, enlisting two former aides to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to spearhead the effort. In memos of confidential meetings with top financial executives, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association said it began this month the “execution phase” of the operation, which pledges to “embrace change” and accountability. The plan targets policy makers and the media in New York, London, Washington and Brussels and calls for a “city-by-city, grass roots” approach. The securities industry “must be perceived as part of the solution, which will allow it to better defend against populist overreaction,” the documents, prepared for a June 17 meeting of SIFMA’s board, said. The board meeting minutes and staff-written papers, obtained by Bloomberg News, outline the program crafted by polling, lobbying and public relations companies paid at least $85,000 a month. The memos provide a glimpse, in often candid language, into how Wall Street is grappling with its pariah status. “It is imperative that in this historic period of reform, the industry be recognized as playing a positive role in seeking change and providing solutions to the problems we face,” one of the documents said. “There is currently widespread skepticism about the industry’s commitment to this needed change.” Lobbying Congress The internal papers call for using regional securities firms, many of which have escaped notoriety in the financial crisis, to push the industry’s message with their local members of Congress. The plan notes that brokers across the country can also be used. “The foot power of the private client group has proven to be effective in blunting populist messages in the past,” said board member Paul Purcell, chief executive officer of Milwaukee investment firm Robert W. Baird & Co., according to the minutes of one meeting. To advise on the strategy, the trade group turned to a bipartisan roster of consultants. Such advice doesn’t come cheap and SIFMA is discussing dipping into its reserves to cover some of the costs, according to one memo. Michele Davis, Paulson’s former spokeswoman, and Jim Wilkinson, his former chief of staff, are among those leading the effort. SIFMA is paying their firm, Brunswick Group LLC, a monthly retainer of $70,000, the documents show. Both Davis and Wilkinson declined to comment. Paulson left office in January. Democratic Pollster Assisting them is a Democratic polling company, Brilliant Corners Research and Strategies, which is paid $5,000 a month. It is run by pollster Cornell Belcher, who worked on President Barack Obama’s campaign. BKSH & Associates Worldwide, a lobbying firm chaired by Republican strategist Charlie Black, signed on for $10,000. In response to questions about the push for an image makeover, SIFMA President Timothy Ryan said the organization has taken a lead advocating for a federal systemic risk regulator and has pushed for increased government power to wind down financial firms that don’t own banks. He also touted the group’s recently issued recommendations on executive compensation. “This effort, which is not uncommon for a trade association, is designed to ensure our ideas for improved accountability, oversight and transparency are heard by the widest possible audience,” Ryan said.And if they want to be seen as the leader in pushing for 'transparency' when are they going to stop fighting Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders/Jim DeMint in trying to get the Federal Reserve audited under HR 1207 and S 604?And I thought this was interesting: http://seekingalpha.com/article/148262-austrian-school-of-economics-is-on-the-rise What do you think about this? more

Resolved Question: Where is the change Obama promised and why is the left oblivious to his campaign that got him elected?

In the Seattle Times February 9, David Sirota's syndicated column exposes the lack of change in the new administration: "America was told that finally after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who would follow Abraham Lincoln's load, fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas. "Little did we know that the 'team of rivals' was what George Orwell calls 'Newspeak': an empty slogan. "Obama's national security team, for instance, includes not a single Iraq War opponent. The president has not only retained George W. Bush's defense secretary, Robert Gates, but also 150 other Bush Pentagon appointees. The only `rivalry' is between those who back increasing the already bloated defense budget by an absurd amount, and those who aim to boost it by a ludicrous amount. "Of course, that lock-step uniformity pales in comparison to the White House's economic team -- a squad of corporate lackeys disguised as public servants. "At the top is Lawrence Summers, the director of Obama's national economic council. As Bill Clinton's treasury secretary in the late 1990's Summers worked with his deputy, Tim Geithner (now Obama's treasury secretary) and Clinton's aide Rahm Emanuel (now Obama's chief of staff) to champion job-killing trade deals and deregulation that Obama Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg helped shepherd through Congress as a Republican senator." Some people call this economic package Obama boasts about as merely a way to force the taxpaying public to guarantee the financial industry's bad loans. No, this is definitely not the change that Obama's campaign boasted about, is it? No, indeed, it's the same people doing the same things, and the U.S. taxpayer footing the bill for failure. The February 10 front page of the New York Times revealed this headline: GEITHNER SAID TO HAVE PREVAILED ON THE BAILOUT Stephen Labaton and Edmund L. Andrews in their article datelined from Washington, D.C. explained: "The Obama administration's new plan to bail out the nation's banks was fashioned after a spirited debate that pitted the Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner against some of the president's top political hands. "In the end, Mr. Geithner largely prevailed in opposing tougher conditions on financial institutions that were sought by presidential aides, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, according to administration and congressional officials." What are some of the changes that Geithner wanted included? It will cost billions more! As Labaton and Andrews revealed: "It calls for the creation of a joint treasury and federal reserve program at an initial cost of $250 billion to $500 billion to encourage investors to acquire soured mortgage-related assets from banks. "It wants the Fed to use its balance sheet to provide the financing, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation might provide guarantees to investors who participate in the program. "A second component of the plan would broadly expand to $500 billion to $1 trillion, an existing $200 billion program run by the Federal Reserve to try to unfreeze the market for commercial, student, auto and credit cards." The big question to making these grandiose plans work is where is all this bailout cash coming from? China, we hear, is experiencing its own recession. We already owe China more than $1 trillion. China is cutting back in loans to the U.S. as it explains it needs money for China more than ever. To put people in top positions who sent our jobs away and reward bank chiefs who took huge bonuses and put the same colossal bank president failures back in power does seem unforgivable. America must remain strong so future generations will have the strength to pay off this gigantic national debt. President Obama, what on earth happened to all your glowing promises for change? more

Resolved Question: Would I get your vote?

After looking at the future leaders of this country I am getting quite disturbed about the future... We all saw how the Bush administration went, and for some reason the Obama administration also looks like it wont do so hot. As crazy as it may sound, the thought of what if I were president has been running threw my head... I plan on setting my campaign slogan as "I'm tired of the sh!t and so are you!!!" See now it seem to me that these issues at hand would not be that hard to change, no no that word has been worn out, *reform* ... Such as welfare; all one would have to do is set up a county grocery store like a commissary(providing staples of course) providing free transportation to and fro via rta. This would eleminate those who are abusing the system and reward those who are truly in need. If a commissary type grocery store is acceptable for this countries finest then it would be appropriate for the poverty stricken....(there are more ideas where that one came from...) Now tell me, who is tired of the crap? who wants to see true reform starting from the top down and the inside out? who will vote Daniels in 2012?abortion: i support the right of the mother to defend herself as well as the rights of the child. note the second part, someone must stand up for the rights of the child since they themselves can not speak out for themselves gun control: banning of tactical weapons including fully automatic firearms. this does not include hand guns nor simi-automatic long guns. it has been shown that gun ownership decreases violence, which is ironic. basically what i'm saying is that you can have guns that were designed for self defense or hunting... social security: either privatize and/or not loan against it... those loans are what got us here in the first place... the privatization would have to accrue after the market has settled down if it were to be the choice of action approved. illegals: illegals would be exported. current illegals having been in the country for a period of 2 years they will be allowed to take a citizenship test and allowed to declare their independence and country.terrorism: it will be sought out to the far corners of the earth and ended. america has to be a leader in this world, meaning it is our responsibility to help countries struggling with issues.... israel: like i said we must help lesser countries... not because we can or cant but because it is the right thing to do!!! russia: russia has pushed the envelop to far. i would push nato to confront them, and take necessary actions. we can not afford to have another cold war right now. (ps russia is supposedly moving into position to attack poland...) iraq: we can't simply pull out(it is too late for that). we should continue aiding the new born iraqi government in growth, while pulling out troops... once all is said and done the us will have new allies as well as a base in the middle east.economics: this one is by far the toughest one... economic greed is ramped, the markets have just about collapsed, and i have been told this is arguably worse than when the market crashed(just over a 3 year period not a few days)... the FHLMC needs a major overhaul, as well as half a dozen other parts of the system... also the people need assurance that their money will be safe and it is ok to start investing again... marijuana: legal and sold under the same restrictions as alcohol... campbell: dont worry i would not vote for a grammar natzi... i did not know that people were so picky on such an informal platform lol Blue is for buffoons: you have just earn position as secretary of state lol yamaha: i really wish i knew what you were trying to tell me... i really do... kudos for the speech my friend!!!George G: that was not nice at all... i hope by sun dosen't shine you mean basement with cool stuff in it..i also can assure you america will have at least one of these... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVl7Ei6Tb68&feature=related more

Resolved Question: Have you ever felt undervalued?

I have better examples but the one at the top of my head was this: When I was in high school I was running for office. When I had just considered running, a slogan popped into my head, and my friend and I thought it was cute. However, when it came time to campaign, I was so nervous and shy that I barely represented myself to the homerooms. Although I got the most votes in my grade (that was a given, it was just because people already knew me), I lost the younger votes because no one knew me since I didn't campaign. I lost out to an underclassman whose class voted the most. Anyway, a few years later, I find the exact same slogan I had thought of is EVERYWHERE now. And I just want to shout, "I CAME UP WITH IT FIRST!" But of course no one would care, and as usual I'm left feeling pathetic and ignored. I wonder what would have happened if I had just sucked it up and visited the homerooms. And I'll never get that experience again, so I can't say, Well, I'll know for next time...I'm in college and don't plan on running for office. Do you guys have similar stories? Do you have any advice for me? PS, I am not going to share what the slogan was. Sorry. more

My new slogan for Sen McCain is... Old enough to remember what a CopyCat really is... Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will convene an all-star panel of advisers on Monday as he shifts his campaign focus from world affairs to the top issue for American voters -- the faltering U.S. economy.Hitting the campaign trail again after a weeklong foreign trip, Obama travels to Washington to meet with a star-studded panel that includes billionaire investor Warren Buffett, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and Google chairman Eric Schmidt. Polls show economic worries lead voter concerns by a wide margin. After a week out of the country meeting world leaders and discussing foreign policy, Obama said he is anxious to shift gears to high gas prices, home foreclosures and bank failures. "People are worried about gas prices, they're worried about job security, they're worried about their retirement fund as the stock market goes down," Obama told a gathering of minority journalists in Chicago on Sunday.http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/Obama_to_Meet_With_Buffet/2008/07/28/116906.html more

Resolved Question: Sen McCains NEW Campaign Slogan - Old Man Yells At Clouds?

McCain has only himself to blame for much of his current campaign problems. His political message is inconsistent even though he has worked long and hard to portray himself as a "straight talker". His economy program is confused and his top economy adviser, Senator Phil Gramm, had to step down at the weekend after saying the US had become a "nation of whiners" who suffered from "mental recession." McCain's latest TV ad hasn't helped much either. Its message is that Obama is to blame for the high fuel prices. "Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?" the announcer in the ad asks as a photo of Obama fills the screen and a crowd is heard chanting: "Obama! Obama!" Obama has become the more interesting candidate for the media. The star reporters of all America's top networks have been accompanying Obama since Tuesday. The three top anchors are interviewim him, one after another, on prime time, in broadcasts being aired on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. By comparison: McCain on Tuesday appeared on the old, creaking stage of the Opera House in Portsmouth in New Hampshire -- in exactly the same place where Obama spoke at the start of the primary season in January. more

Absolut vodka pulls ad showing California in Mexico Mon Apr 7, 9:36 PM ET The distillers of Sweden's Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican. The billboard ad has the slogan "In an Absolut World" slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year. Although it was not shown in the United States, U.S. media outlets picked up on the ad, and after a barrage of complaints, Absolut's maker said on Sunday the ad campaign would cease. Defending the campaign last week, Absolut maker Vin & Spirit said the ad was created "with a Mexican sensibility" and was not meant for the U.S. market. "In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues," a spokeswoman wrote on Absolut's Web site. "Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal," she wrote. Absolut's blog cite has received more than a thousand comments since the ad campaign was launched a few weeks ago, with many calling for boycotts of the Swedish company. "I have poured the remainder of my Absolut bottles down the sink," one blogger wrote. A war between Mexico and the United States from 1846 to 1848 started with Mexico's refusal to recognize the U.S. annexation of Texas and ended with the occupation of Mexico City by U.S. troops. At the end, Mexico ceded nearly half of its territory to the United States, forming the states of California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming. Mexicans remain sensitive about the loss and the location of the border. At the same time, the United States is fortifying barriers to keep out undocumented Mexican migrants. Some Mexicans use the term "Reconquista" (reconquest) to refer to the growing presence in California of Mexican migrants and their descendants. France's Pernod Ricard is taking over Absolut vodka, one of the world's top-selling spirit brands, after buying Vin & Spirit from the Swedish government at the end of March. more

Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "manure stick." 4. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the U.S., with the beautiful Caucasian baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside, since most people can't read. 5. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 6. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa).7. Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave", in Chinese. 8. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "it takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate." 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Ke-kou-ke-la", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "ko-kou-ko-le", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "it won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you". Instead, the company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant." more

Resolved Question: Top ten reasons why I think we just had a “good” election. What do you think?

Top ten reasons why I think we just had a “good” election. 10.Alan Peter Cayetano still belongs in the magic 12 trending, in spite of Joselito Cayetano. It only goes to show that many Filipinos watch the news and are aware of the issues and as such, are incensed at the dirty tactics of other politicians. 9.Trillanes’ name is popping up in the magic 12 trend, in spite being unable to launch a full campaign and be physically present in those he was able to launch. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. It shows that many voters are already drawn to the issues that the candidates represent and not on the beauty of their posters or the number of posters pasted on walls, constantly nagging us. Either this or the Filipinos just merely love underdogs. Which goes to explain why Rainier Castillo and Sandara Park of different talent searches top their text polls; but that’s another story. 8. Goma is not winning. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. Period. 7. Buboy is not winning. This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by dancing politicians in colorful stages spewing out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. And it proves that letting your child sing in your commercial may be cute in your family reunions but don’t expect that it would get you votes in national elections. And it also proves that playing Jose Rizal in the movies will not make people associate the person with the Character, and think of him as a hero. Furthermore it also proves that playing Chavit Singson in the movies will not make people associate him again with the character and make him a hero. Which is much more difficult, unless your definition of hero is Chavit. 6.Chavit Singson is not winning. It only goes to show that having someone who played the role of Jose Rizal play your character does not guarantee that people will think of you as a hero especially when you really ain’t one. Look for the word “kontrabida” in a Filipino Dictionary and you will see a picture of Chavit. It also disproves the idea that brandishing that you are the “boses ng probinsya” or any other slogan as lame as that will still still deceive probinsyanos . They have their governors. 5. Chiz Escudero is topping polls. This only goes to show that when you are honest and good, and fearless in being honest and good, people in all walks of life are going to back you up. People who still believe in hope, adhere to people who look like unstoppable force of goodness. Which goes to explain why some people somewhere sometime would pull out their guns inside the “sinehan” and shoot the kontrabida trying to shoot Fernando Poe behind his back. But that’s another story. 4. Ed Panlilio of Pampanga is fighting a close fight for the gubernatorial position. This only goes to show that when you are honest and good, and fearless in being honest and good, people in all walks of life are going to back you up in spite of lingering temptations of not voting or worst, selling their votes. It doesn’t matter that you don’t have enough funds to print posters; people are going to print posters for you, hell, even paint rice sacks with your name. It doesn’t matter if your opponents are going to hand-out money, people are going to accept them and donate them for your campaign. 3. Manny Pacquiao is not winning. When the country watches Manny win in his title bouts people are cheering, feeling proud that they are Filipino, making merry, jumping in triumph. When the country watches Manny getting beaten up by Custodio by thousands of votes, people are sighing a sigh of relief, feeling proud of the Filipinos in Gen San, and jumping with the triumph of intelligent voting. You gotta hand it to Manny, manalo (boxing), matalo (election), masaya pa rin ang tao. Mahirap gawin yun unless clown ka. (Which anyway, Manny does for “sideline” sometimes. But that’s another story.) This only goes to show that many voters are no longer drawn by non-dancing politicians in colorful stages unable to spew out highly attractive, highly abstract promises. Wala lang talaga. 2. Pichay is not getting planted in the senate Pichay’s case is now the leading example among Business Management students on how having the best and highly-budgeted marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if the product is bad. Pichay’s case also proves that the best marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if you made fun of your own name from the start anyway. And it doesn’t help that he looks funny anyway. Look in the Filipino Dictionary for the verb “nangarap” and you will see a picture of Pichay. And what the hell is a “pro-pinoy” Aren’t they all suppose to be pro-pinoy? Is there an anti-pinoy candidate? (Well, there’s Mike Defensor, but, ahem, that’s another story). Back to Pichay. He spent short of 100 million pesos. His marketing team should have allotted at least a few million pesos for lipo-suction. That way, he wouldn’t look like he’s going to get-even with the Filipinos after the elections after all the money his spent. 1.Mike Defensor is not winning. If you let people call you “tol” people are going to be at ease with you. No matter how “bad boy” you’ve been, you will still be able to sell anything from slippers, prepaid cards, soft drinks and multivitamins. That is, if your name is Robin Padilla. If your name is Mike Defensor, that’s another story. Look for the word tuta in the dictionary and you will see Tol’s face. Which doesn’t exactly make him “Tol”. Defensor’s case proves that the second best marketing team in the Philippines will do you no good if the product is bad. Most importantly Tol’s case proves that having a Manny Pacqiao look-a-like in your tv ads will not make you win. Syet, Eh si Chavit Singson nga, si Manny Pacqiao na mismo ang nasa commercial nya, di pa rin nananalo. Eh bat ka pa nga naman magtataka, eh si Manny Pacqiao nga Manny Pacqiao na ang mukha nya, di pa rin siya manalonalo. Powtek!u'r ryt josh, what they are capable of doing is really scary. they've done worst in their regime. more

Resolved Question: What would be a good campaign slogan for Al Gore and John Kerry running together as Pres and VP in 2008?

I know this is not happening but I heard it was a thought of Gore to ask Kerry to run with him until Kerry made those statements about our troops. Kerry and Gore could not decide who would be the top guy and who would be #2, so its a moot point, but give us some good or funny slogans. more
