In particular, there were some allegations that the Republicans stole the 2004 election, but I don't understand why, if this was true, they couldn't do it every election cycle.

In other words, why is it that when Republicans won in 2004 it was because of voter fraud, voter supression, neocon conspiracy, etc., but when Democrats took both houses of the congress in 2006, it was the will of the people (or was it)? Couldn't the Republicans have just done the same thing in 2006 as they allegedly did in 2004 (maybe they couldn't)?

What am I missing here? Serious answers only, please.

Common that is all we heard from liberals and democrats that Kerry was better than Bush because he served in Vietnam and same for Al Gore.

Well McCain is running and there are no vets on the DNC side so you guys all must be behind him right?

Or have the rules now change yet again?

Looks like most of the polls are swinging his way. With a month left he definitely has the momentum to win the nomination.

OK...so by the time Shrub leaves office, we are going to be 10 TRILLION dollars in debt.

Hillary has her "health care plan" and Lord knows how much THAT is going to cost us.

Where does she propose this money come from?

I am tapped out.

Some people around campus think that Gore will make another run for president.

Is it too late for him to run?

If not, what are his chances of winning?

Why is it that the Republican elite won't give Ron Paul a fair shake?

They keep throwing barriers in his way and using Republican propaganda outfits to slander and attack him. Why are they afraid of Ron Paul's popularity?

Of the 2008 presidential candidates, who would best fit the description of a classical liberal?

...that is, other than Ron Paul of course.

I don't get it--she came into politics on her husband's coattails. She was a quasi-cabinet member during the Clinton Administration and tried to get socialized healthcare passed--all without being confirmed by the Senate as a cabinet member. Then, whoopee! Guess who was geared up to run for Senator of NY when JKF Jr died? You BET...that was a happy day for Hillary, and it's why her Bill Clinton dragged the ocean using the US Navy until they found JFK and friends. She put up with her husband's philandering, promoting university female victimhood.

Now tell me, why would any self-respecting woman vote for THAT?

I've seen it time and time again. First, David Dinkins was supposed to beat Rudy Guiliani for New York City major by a HUGE majority; in fact, he won by only the slimmest of margins.

Same thing with Harold Ford, Jr. running for the Senate from Tennesse in 2006. He was neck-and-neck in the polls until someone showed a white girl saying "call me". He lost by more than pollsters had thought.

What do these political races (and others) have in common? IN POLLS, PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK NON-DISCRIMINATORY; IN THE ACTUAL ELECTION, THEY *DO* DISCRIMINATE.

Many fingers have been pointed at Mormons in judgement...calling them a cult, and questioning their perceived odd ways.

What about Huckabee being a Southern Baptist Minister?

I was raised a Southern Baptist....they are as strange as Mormons.

Southern Baptist beliefs:
1)They formed because they thought slavery ordained by God, based on literal interpretation of scripture. They apologized for their role in slavery in 1995! They are always behind time.

2) They believe in the subjective role of women as described by the Apostle Paul...women should not have positions of leadership in church...deacons or clergy...or government.

3) alcohol consumption is a sin
4) gambling is a sin
5) dancing is a sin
6) playing cards is a sin.

7) they believe that only protestants will go to heaven....no mormons, jehovah's witnesses, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, etc...

Do we want a president who is a minister of such an odd religion?

I hope Hilary and Guiliani make it to the Primary. I don't want Obama whatsoever. Not because of his race as I think Colin Powell would have made a fantastic President, but because of his views on things. He is very much for giving illegal immigrants rights and I think everyone that enters this country should do so legally. No reason to do anything legally if you can get rights anyways....
