[HARDCORE]

?Millennia Madness? is behind us and eyes are beginning to focus on 2004! By then, who in the hell knows what evil will lurk in the hearts of man? And all of the hanging chads, absentee votes, or dangling twits, ain?t-gunna mean diddly in the next go-round, as the tale of the tape will be decided by but two issues - ?How terrorism is dealt with and the economy!!?

The horses are already beginning to enter the starting gate, and the also rans of 2000, are now becoming the wanna-runs of MMIV! Is this election a shoo-in at this very moment for any of the perceived candidates - HELL NO!! What occurs between now and then, however, ah yes, there-in lies the rub!

A quick and sanitary victory against Hussein might just win the marbles, but then this was the case back in 1991, and look how that ended up!?

Then there is the economy! Who?s fault is it that the bottom is turning soggy - the current regime, or the latter?

And what is going to happen should some opt to ?Really Kick Ass in the Middle East?? If it goes our way, and it will, that is a plus factor for the man then in the catbird seat! If, however, that Iraqi fool (or others) use chemical or bacteriological weaponry, ?WHAT THEN?? Naturally, we will obliterate the bastard, but what will be the effect upon the people themselves and the next national elections? The age of (Relative) safety will be in question, and many will blame - ?well, you get the idea!!?

So the big political gamble is afoot again, and the gaming pieces are, as usual, the people themselves! We have what it takes to overcome any adversity, the only question now is, do those whom we elect to enact our will share in our ?All American Tenacity??

WE SHALL SEE, WHAT WE SHALL SEE?!
