5. Congratulations Steve Levy and all the Long Island Democrats


that put their heart and soul in this race, especially Marsha Laufer, Brookhaven Democratic Chairperson.

Thanks to all that posted the lawn signs and posters all over the county.

This is the beginning of CHANGE in Long Island.

Now, let's send a message to Washington for 04!

WE ROCKED TONIGHT!

13. As I Said..The South(ahem) is a Different COUNTRY!
The Solid South was won-over by Repugs b/c of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That's it and that's that. I sometimes think e should LET them secede. See how the competing countries would do?

Actually-it was a class assignment for my Sophomores in 2000.:tinfoilhat:

16. Not a chance
Nassau County was once the most solid republican areas in the country. You couldn't even work for the county unless you were a registered republican. Peter King's district is composed mostly of the die hard republicans.

King is one of the most independent republicans in Congress, I believe he voted against Clinton's impeachment. Why do you call him "disgusting"? Surely there are much worse republicans?

I moved recently, I thought I could keep my old voting district, but they automatically switched me over. Instead of voting for Gary Ackerman, I now am forced to vote against Peter King. I wanted my vote to count, oh well.

17. There are many more overtly
extremist ones in the House, but I got ill (back when I used to watch the garbage) seeing king's mug on the tv constantly shilling for our regime and their policies.
