Since all the Democrats already have their hands dirty with mud, wouldn't it be a refreshing change if the Republicans united under one candidate (not Guiliani) and didn't use attack ads?

I think that would garner a LOT more votes, don't you think?

Also, shouldn't Guiliani run for President in the Democratic party? He shares much more of their ideals than Republican morals. Just wondering.

Here is a website to keep up with all the latest political ads:

Is there like a website out here where you can look up the presidential candidates and compare them on certain issues? I like to see where they stand so I can decide who to vote for in 2008.

Why do certain American think they are so much more civilized than people from other countries? For example Bush is no longer being support on this war in Iraq. The weapon of mass destruction is no longer upheld as the true reason for going to war with Iraq. This war has lasted longer than the war in vietnam and with way more casulties. How do people sleep at night and know there is a holocaust taking place as we go about our daily life thinking it's them not me so it seem justified.
I believe this is why America is experiencing so many natural disasters.
May the power that be look up favorable on anyone who should make a mockery of social injustice in the name of falsehood or biggotry.
It is true that muslim and christian have lived in peace in Iraq for centries. For those who find favor with the outcome of the lost of human lives picture it being your family members maybe your view will change.
If you can't find value in these words than maybe one day you will...

They were on the verge of surrender in WW2?

What was the point in murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians? There was no other way? We had to break the spirit of the Japanese?

If so, the plan took a very interesting u-turn when the US built strong links with the Imperial government so it could suppress democracy there. And it has maintained them ever since. Sure, there are free elections now, but everything is run by corporations - exactly how the US wanted it to be.

Why not just Nagasaki AND Hiroshima, but the bombing of Tokyo? The air force blitzed the capital. The buildings were all made of wood. Women and children died in their scores. At least the hundreds of thousands of people who died instantly in Hiroshima died instantly. Children would leap into water, only to have the napalm burn them even worse.

These weren't soldiers, or pilots, they were just civilians. The navy was destroyed. They had been defeated.

Why kill hundreds of thousands of civilians??

1. Bush cheated to win the election, why how could it be twice Florida was the determining factor?? How coincidental that Judith Bush, the sister of Bush is the Governor of Florida???

2. Bush and his gangs kept using FEAR tactics on the ignorant Americans by saying over and over "if we don't fight there then they will come here." What a hock a bull crap. Al Queda is in Afganistan not Iraq as the main location. But the point is that he is MANIPULATING the Americans by using the most effective psycho babble FEAR tactic! Come on guys it's the most common psychology that parents use on kids! Focking manipulative EVIL jackass!

3. Chaney has Lesbain daughter and yet the conservative thinks that Kerry or Gore is the liberal freaks.

4. Both are involved with pharmaceutical and oil companies and is it a coincidence that oil prices sky rocketed since they took over the office?

But the bottom line AGAIN they are using MANIPULATIVE SNEAKY FEAR TACTICS on the average Amercans!

I worked my first job at 12, worked hard and invested etc all my life. Now that I have a hefty nest egg I hear the loafers saying I should "give back" Wouldn't I have needed to take something first?

I give more than enough every April 15. To all you suckers that goofed off way back in school, please go starve, it is not my job to feed you or your spawn.

This is just the beginning in a series of events leading up to war.

Nobody will remember these things when war is declared on Iran and insist that Iran is peaceful and they never had any intent on building WMD's.

Ahmadinejad is pushing issues to the point of confrontation, then backs off. That is the exact same thing Saddam has done. Invading Kuwait, shooting at US aircraft, barring nuclear inspectors, etc.

Then after they are defeated, they call it a victory.
They call it a victory because they have intimidated "Satan" or what they call western intimidation or bullying.

"Unfortunately the British government was not even brave enough to tell their people the truth, that it made a mistake," Ahmadinejad said.

Will we ever find out who was right and who was wrong?
Who really won, who lost?
Who submitted?
It's time for answers!

but didn't say a word when Republican congressmen did the same?

Is this just more GOP hypocracy?

It's interesting because three of our colleagues, who are all Republicans, were in Syria yesterday and I didn't hear the White House speaking out about that," Pelosi said, referring to the Sunday meeting of Reps. Frank Wolf (news, bio, voting record), Joe Pitts and Robert Aderholt (news, bio, voting record) with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus.

Seems to me liberal Keynesian economics beats right-wing, tax cuts for the rich, voodoo economics, supply side economics ANYDAY.

1) Here are the percent increase in real GDP for various presidents:

FDR 177.51% (from 32' to 45')
FDR 88.14% (from 32' to 41', without WWII)
KEN/LBJ 46.00%
CLINTON 33.81%
REAGAN 30.63%
BUSH JR 16.55% (from 00' to 06')
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/sheets/hist01z3.xls

2) Here is the percent increase in inflation adjusted tax revenues:

FDR N/A
CLINTON 57.91%
KEN/LBJ 37.63%
REAGAN 20.16%
BUSH JR 4.44% (assuming predictions up to 2008 hold)

Do you think it would be allowed? Do you think people would have a problem with it? What kind of people do you think would have a problem with it? Does a double standard exist? For instance, take into consideration how many things are called GRINGO.

1) There are too many US. Citizens who do not care about your stupid Iraq War.
2) War never solves anything, it creates more enemies.
3) Your enemies children will plot to revenge and kill you for killing their parents and family members. So the cycle rotates again.
4) The American people(blacks,latins,or minorities groups) will over take the white Population and throw Bush and the Republicans out of office eventually forever.
