I guess Stan is right.

The political season has started, 

...and my book is available.  Sort of.  

It's already sold out, and they are printing more books.  It should be in bookstores everywhere before the election according to the publisher.  And if you are the type of person who believes boatbuilders when they tell you when your boat will be ready, then maybe you will believe publishers, too.

I grabbed a couple of thousand books off the next print run so I can send them to people I know.  Some of you already took a sneak preview of my web site before it was ready.  If you go back there now, you can see some pages in the book, buy a book directly from me as soon as they come off the press, and have me send you a complete electronic version of the book instantly.

If you don't want to buy the book I will just send you the free electronic copy.  (There is a $1 fulfillment charge.)

"Quote Without Comment" is a book of quotes covering 135 issues of importance to our country. It is neither a "Democratic" nor a "Republican" book. All points of view are represented. All quotes are accurate. No one is quoted out of context. Each side in the upcoming election wants you to look at some of these quotes, and to ignore others. You should look at all of them. 

The book is being used as a fund-raiser for both the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as the Green party.  

The web site is www.QuoteWithouComment.com.

We are back to politics? - Wonderful:

Notice when it is one of their own they flip flop:

Cheney's daughter is gay so he is against the constitution amendment.

Bush's father and TX friends went out of their way to keep him out of the 
fray but if you sign up for it like Kerry did, and find it was a mistake - 
that is a flip flop.

If anyone else is accused of a conflict of interest, like Clinton's wife was 
strung up for, that is ok, but the flip flop allows Mrs. Cheney to sit on 
the board of our huge defense contractor and that is not a conflict of 
interest.  Under whose definition?.

If you want to do the real count on flip flops, see Effros book of quotes to 
see who leads by a mile.

Chris Mathews says the differences in this election are crisp if you look at 
the major issues - I liked the way he put the decision making:

If you want to cut taxes proportionally much higher for the wealthiest of 
us - you know who to vote for.  .

If you have reservations on advancing science - you know who to vote for. 
(If you have questions on this one, ask president Regan's son)

If you want us to lead the world single handedly - you know who to vote for.

If you do not mind someone else's kid dying to secure Feluja (sp?) as long 
as it is not you or yours who has to die for this strategic piece of land 
needed to keep us free of terrorist - you know who to vote for
(personally I grieve more for the thousands and thousands whose lives are 
now shattered by wounds then I do for the ones who may be going to heaven to 
get their 40 virgins)

If you think the way to have no child left behind is to have the rest of the 
children stand still while the left behind kids catch up and therefore flip 
flop over the funding of the program as it was intended - you know who to 
vote for.

If you think being for the environment is passing a law requiring new energy 
plants to meet regulations and then allowing all energy plants to rebuild 
themselves 99% and call that "not new" so not under the regulations - you 
know who to vote for.

And if you think the costs of the higher health bills with lower worker 
productivity that results from dismantling in-place environmental 
regulations can be made up with tie-ins to a stock market because it always 
goes up - you know who to vote for.

If you agree that the super new debt is going to be taken care of by the 
super booming economy just around the corner - you know who to vote for.

If you think leadership is someone who sits there for seven minutes in a 
helpless state with a totally blanc look when told we are being attacked, or 
who lands on an aircraft carrier and emerges from a war plane announcing the 
war is over when it has not even started, is the kind of man we need to lead 
this country in war - you know who to vote for.

If you think government should stay off your back and not be telling you how 
to run your personal business and then flip flops and tells you what you 
have to do with your body - you know who to vote for.

If you think religion should be allowed to sneak into government by funding 
religious organizations and other creeping back door techniques because you 
think religiously controlled countries are more likely to live in peace - 
you know who to vote for  - but you don't know your history or current 
events..

sorry, I am running out of time - not issues that make this election an easy 
distinction between the two major parties.

Just go out and vote - or you deserve what you get.  The last election was 
lost to the minority by just a handful of voters not voting to counteract a 
handful of incompetent old Jewish voters who voted for the favorite son, 
Buchanan, because they could not make out a ballot that showed the wrong 
picture next to the one they actually intended to make president.   Vote. 
Your vote does make a difference.
