After listening to a friend whine this weekend about how turned off they are to dirty politics she expressed that she didn't want to go out and vote for either candidate. That made me wonder if that is an intended consequence of the dirty politics, to keep the uncommitted voters away from the polls. Each party knows they have a following of 40% of the voters, leaving about 20% undecided. The negative ads dont convince a dedicated Republican to vote Democratic and vice versa, but it may convince them not to vote at all.

If each candidate keeps the independent voters away and chips into the opposing candidate's base of voters they may win by attrition. Is this an intended or just a consequential goal of the negative politics?

Do you think it has anything to do with the upcoming elections? Im sure that will be a big debating point. Arent we still using the same amount of oil as we did 6 months ago? not much was affected by the alaskan pipeline seeing as most of our oil is imported.

i think its bush and his cronies that have their relations with the oil companies and manipulate the price. how esle did all the other oil execs earn more profit than ever b4 in history ??

I thought that our founding fathers wanted us to "promote the spread of democracy" around the world. Does anybody think that we are forcing other countries to adopt a system that they don't understand or want?
I am not saying that i don't support democracy, I think it's great, but I thought the FF's just wanted us to encourage other govts to adopt a democratic system. Is that what we are doing in Iraq?

ps- I support our troops- I was one of them in Desert Storm, and I know what they are going through each day. So please don't blast me for being un-American.

"We've made three tragic decisions," Garner told Rumsfeld.
"Really?" Rumsfeld asked.
"Three terrible mistakes," Garner said.
He cited the first two orders Bremer signed when he arrived, the first one banning as many as 50,000 members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party from government jobs and the second disbanding the Iraqi military. Now there were hundreds of thousands of disorganized, unemployed, armed Iraqis running around.

Third, Garner said, Bremer had summarily dismissed an interim Iraqi leadership group that had been eager to help the United States administer the country in the short term. "Jerry Bremer can't be the face of the government to the Iraqi people. You've got to have an Iraqi face for the Iraqi people."

America is the only place that separates races even if they were all born here we still call them African-American, Asian-American, Mexican-American ect. and in no other place in the world does this. do people from Italy that go to Germany and call them selves Italian-germans, of people from china going to Mexico calling them selves Chinese-Mexican? So why do we do this to ourselves here in America?

I mean you can't really be that blind can you ? Certainly the democratic party no matter how flawed has always been the champion of equal and civil rights ? Black people in the United States are disproportionately poor, occupy our jails, fight our wars and are generally Fu@ked over by a systemic hostile and racist right ? Because Condy Rice is a woman of color (kind of) or because Colen Powell had a moment ? you see what Bush did to him when he was done with him.. shoot he was the only one that had any compassion and they dropped him like a bad habit...
Justice Janice Rogers-Brown, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes, Ward Connerly, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams,... google any of these black conservatives and tell me where they are working for the poor in this country ?

Do you Think Dr. King would have gone this route?

so what gives?

Money?
a Desire to fit in as the man?
a piece of the pie.. big business style?
or just a smidgen of uncle Tom creeping in ?
