Seriously, all my conservative friends said Bush did such a poor job in the first term because every new president is effected by the job the previous administration did. So go ahead and tell me whos fault the last two years have been.

they found out they looked like GW and they drank grape kool aid laced with cyanide and killed themselves. Think we could get him to do the same?

Arlington National Cemetary is where soldiers and prominent public figures are allowed the honor of being buried. Do you think Cheney should apply, or pass on this honor based on the following:

This quote comes from a Saturday NYTimes article --
"Cheney's Five Draft Deferments During the Vietnam Era Emerge as a Campaign Issue" -- discussing the lengths VP Dick Cheney went to in order to avoid serving during the Viet Nam war.

It is apparent from the piece that Richard Cheney did everything humanly possible -- short of fleeing to Canada -- to avoid military conscription: He applied for and recieved 5 student deferments, a number described as "incredible" by professor David Curry of the University of Missouri in St. Louis.

Voted for Clinton 1992 and Bush in 2004 (yeah, I know, I was on a long hiatus). Anyone else like that. I don't go so much on party lines. I believe that certain leaders are good gor their times. Clinton would have had a weak response to 9/11 and Bush would have probably tinkered with the economy too much in the nineties (plus how weird would it have bee for the father to lose to his son?)

Anyway, I've seen a big change in the Dems, especially in the libs, since 1999. Seriously, some of you have lost your minds. Yeah, the republicans were gnasking their teeth from 1992-2000, but when angry republicans said stupid things like Hillary killed Vince Foster or Bill raped all those women, most normal Republicans ignored them and their extremist views.

But Bush-hating is infecting the moderates in the Dems, not just the liberals. Really, guys, dial it down a few notches. When you say Bush and Hitler in the same sentence, you just sound stupid.

Look over there. It's the swing voters. Wave.

News came out this past week, the 17 kids arrested in Canada were setup by Canadian Intelligence Service to tip the agenda and ressources in their favor. That makes us wonder if this could not be the case too with the Florida 7. Since there was no imminent threat anymore, nothing better than creating a brand new one...

I heard today that part of the republican "compromise" to raising the minimum wage, was to only raise it to $6.25, but part of the bill proposed would make it illegal to take a minor out of state to have an abortion. Does this make ANY sense?????

Just saw a post from a guy here in Austin who is sure Kinky Friedman is going to win for governor. he used a phrase I constantly hear from Dems "All my friends are voting for him." Dems cannot believe they lost the last two elections because "all of their friends" voted Democratic. They never quite see the conundrum.

The most partisan Dems are surprisingly insular. They run in the same circles, refusing to date or socialize with non-Dems. Since I'm in a liberal town, most women assume I'm Dem until they hear I was in th Marines. I constantly hear how someone proudly describes themselves a "total bleeding heart liberal" all about peace and love. What comes next? A list of people they hate. And boy is it long. All Republicans, non-vegans, Christians, "rich white guys" etc. Their hate list usually hits aboout 75% of the country.

Dems, especially libs, need to branch out more and not put themselves on a pedestal. It would help you regain the populist edge that you lost.

I mean, really. Is there anyone in the room who feels more secure dealing with Saddam rather than dealing with Norh Korea who already has nuclear capacity? Really.

Well the only problem with this logic is that before entering USA, anyone has to go through UNITED STATES' CUSTOMS not Canadian Customs. So why do Americans are putting blame on Canadians neighbors? Because it is convenient to blame others rather than recognize their wrongs?

Recently Ms. Michel Bachelet was elected president of Chile. It was considered a great victory for her and the chilean people, who have gone through hard times in the past. I would like to know what Americans think of a lady president.

every time there is a republican persident, we have to start a few wars with someone, but when the democrats get in office, they wrap up the immoral wars and get the country back on track?

A week ago, Bill Clinton made a speech that accused the GOP and its policies of causing hurricanes to hit South Florida and New Orleans in recent years. He went on to explain further and by doing so he was trying to create a consipiracy theory that somehow government scientists have created a magical machine where it enables us to push a button and order a destructive storm to hit a particular region of the country at any time.
This made me laugh at the incredibly stupid idea that technology can somehow control the weather patterns the country experiences. Has former President Clinton gone completely insane or was he just trying to whip up his desperately stupid constituents in order to attack the Bush Administration.

If you ask me, the man is a certifiable nutjob who needs to be locked up in the funny farm. The DNC is losing more and more credibility as each day passes.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

Bush is rushing to frame the immigration issue as Code Red and militarize the border with Mexico. People have fled their homelands to come to this country in the hope of a better life for themselves and their children for centuries. Suddenly, it's a "national emergency"? Please. With Bush's low approval rating and the Republicans deeply divided, perhaps he's just worried about an electoral emergency.
