As history has shown, most of them won't. Old people vote, young people not so much.

I think that there are a lot of people on the fence, that probably would vote Democrat again, if they weren't being told how stupid and evil they are all of the time. As soon as someone says anything that isn't 100% acceptable to the leftist intelligentsia, they are immediately branded an "alt-right extremist". It's like trying to talk politics with my indoctrinated 16 year old niece. Everything is so black and white, and that's a sure way to polarize. Try watching the movie "Lincoln" sometime. Especially the scene where he is trying to talk moderation to Tommy Lee Jones, who just wants to burn down the South and punish everyone, especially the Democrats, who were pro-slavery at the time (imagine a time when the Republicans were the good guys - weird eh??). Lincoln explains that a compass may point true north, but if you just rely on your compass, you'll end up in a swamp. There are ways to get things done, just like there are ways to bring people together. And that means getting over the anger, and finding ways to work together again.

I've been hearing that for awhile. I really hope that you are wrong.

You really need to calm down. You are going to have a coronary. I think the only way back from this anger is someone to try and be conciliatory. Democrats will have a much better chance that way. That's my opinion.

What's your plan to end the divisiveness Big Shoots? Why can't I post stuff I see from the Left? Does it embarrass you? Very confusing.

This was posted on Twitter by the Design Lead at Google about the Republican party. He said more but I didn't post it as the language was too foul. I fear that there is no way this divisiveness is going away any time soon.

Yup. Will Republicans still control all three levels of government when that happens? At this point I don't see anything changing. Just angry people getting angrier.

ok so build on that.

what are the Democrats principles and morals exactly? Maybe they should focus on that instead of mud slinging, as that strategy isn't working. Last night on SNL Colin Jost said that he blamed Dems like Corey Booker partly for Kavanaugh being confirmed, because the Dems called him "evil" right out of the gate, and had no where else to go after that. Interesting thought.

Game 1 : @ Mo' Better Blues
one game - only one game...but yeah liked what I saw out there. What were the lines again?
-
Game 1 : @ Mo' Better Blues
the only options are the Senators, Canadiens or Leafs. There are no "cross-overs" in the NHL.

Game 1 : @ Mo' Better Blues
I am hoping for a Leafs-Jets final. And sticking that up Bettman's butt.

I went through the same choice Mark. Didn't see why anyone would want to farm, after having spent my teen years on a tractor. Your take home pay worked out to about $.15 an hour...

Canadian Politics
Usually when there is a Liberal government federally, the provinces go Conservative, and vice versa. Gerald Butts is going to be our PM for a long time, I am afraid.

Doughnuts. The new heart-smart snack. Book it.

I hear the toilets in his Timmy's franchises are always glistening.

I think that you nailed it Mark.

I prefer the term "seasoned fans"...

Riders @ Als: can the birds muster an upset?
Not a lot of faith? This is a 45 year Bomber fan you are talking to here. I would have gone insane by now without some form of faith. Our offence scares me. If our D can turn in that kind of effort every game then I think our only hope is to pull off a Tom Burgess type Grey Cup win like in 1990. Great D, and an O that doesn't do much, but also doesn't make mistakes and cost us games.

This is what I heard about the Vegas Golden Knights all last year. I honestly think the Riders are pretty good and will hard to beat. They may give the Stamps a run in the playoffs.

Stubler on the side lines always looks like he's two minutes away from a massive coronary.

HH from me to Peterman. What an effort! Took three Eskimos to take him down. Matt said before the game that Peterman reminded him of Rick House. House and Poplawski together again!
