Politics - 1 September 2006

Whatever happened to the Democratic Party, the one that was the voice of the working class, the middle class, the large majority of us Americans?

Sadly, it, too, has been hijacked. Just like the Republican Party has been hijacked by the far right the far left has hijacked the Democratic Party.

The far left does not represent the majority of Americans any more than the far right does.

Don't you think it's time to take back your party?

It seems a great majority of people are not too happy with our President, so is there anything you can think of, that he can do that will put a big hefty smile on your face, if you`re one of those dissatisfied persons?

I'm certainly not the only one who thinks the Republican Party has been hijacked by the far right. I only wish more Republicans had the balls to take their party back. I miss the GOP of honorable men and women. Even when you didn't always agree with them you still believed they were sincere in their beliefs.

Senator Hagel (a decent Republican) also has voiced his concerns:

- destroying our Constitutional and civil rights, in the name of some kind of theoretical "war on terrorism"? Isn't the war on our rights a kind of terrorism in itself? What kind of boogeyman is hiding under your bed? BOO!

If Bush is not respecting the constitution does that equate to the pope not respecting the ten commandments? Would that not make him a hypocrit?

are we involved in aggression? Wouldn't war technically be defined as a situation in which we were attacked by another country (not a small group of terrorists) or a situation in which we had declared war on another country?
It seems to me that the definition of war has relaxed enough to justify any kind of aggression we wish to take in the future. If we decide we don't like something, why not just invade any country and take some "preventative action" to promote our own interests? It's some kind of "fits all" magical pretext. How can any other country in the world respect us or trust us if we continue to act in this way?

This is not an anti-Republican post. GW quit being a real Republican years ago.

This is just a reminder that some people will sell their soul to the devil for wealth and the rest of us pay for their doing so.

With these people it isn't about democracy or spreading democracy. It's all about wealth.

A short while back I was writing here when I was continually corrected by spell check to capitalize proper names.
If I have no respect for people who murder children, women ,famylies, in the resturant or at a wedding or funeral.
Why should I give the names capital letters after all ,isn't it respect? muslim, islam, mohamed and so no!
OOOPS no spell check here!!!

20 million dollar contract offered by US command in Baghdad to monitor the tone of news stories about the Iraq war. Is this not another jab by the Fuhrer and company to get rid of one of our FUNDEMENTAL rights . Freedom of the press. No matter what you think of the news networks and newspapers any attempt to change the way they report the news right or wrong puts on the same playing feild with the Chinese, USSR and Nazi Germany.

doesnt anyone in america think its rude and childish that majority of our country is totally disrespectful to our president? i think our country is extremely lucky to have the freedoms we have, unlike many other terrible governments around the world who can't move left or right and are forced into unfair monarchies. i know that our own soldiers are dying in Iraq, but they are serving for a country that wants to make peace and help the suffering that is happening right before our eyes. i feel very privelged to live in such a great country knowing i can practice any religion, have any job, and have freedom to say what i feel, like we're doing right now, among many other freedoms. i dont understand why anyone would dare to abuse such a gift, especially by mocking and complaing about our president. he is not killing his own people or enjoying to see such suffering. he may not fix every single problem going on here but i sure know he is trying. if anyone would like to comment, please do so.

Hungry men go for fatter women! Strike before lunch or late in the day, before dinner. Better yet, hide all the food from men. There is hope for you yet.

A withdrawal from Iraq now would be seen as a victory for the terrorists and their numbers would grow even more rapidly. Not to mention if we pulled out now we would lose what little world support our government has and world support, I feel, is the only way we can destroy terror. Iraq may not have been the place to start this fight against the terror network, but amidst the civil war over there a lot of terrorists are plotting against us and if we would revamp out militaries goal of occupation, which is slow, and upgrade it to more of a search and destroy type operation, and we defeated the terror network in Iraq, it could very well cripple them, who really knows how many resources they have in Iraq. My point is that if you think the terror network is getting stronger due to the war in Iraq, imagine how strong it would get if they thought they had beaten us in our own war. Cleanse the country of evil, then set up the Democracy, what do you all think? Respectful criticism only please.
