If the Republicans made a serious return to their roots, the "Party of Lincoln" principles, would you support them?

I hear this new D.S is Bush's good friend. They hang out all the time. It does not sound like he has strong enough qualitfications to be the Defense Secretary what do you think?
Rumsfeld was the WORST ever, can anyone be as bad?

I was really surprised to hear the Senator from Nevada sounding very bipartisan and like he was looking forward to working together with the Republicans - but Nancy? She's really sounding strident/inflexible. Does this worry anyone else? Would it make more sense for the Dems to choose someone else?

(In case it matters to you, I'm third party.)

I understand that many including myself are disappointed with the way the war is going with no end in sight. But, aside from the fact that going to IRAQ was arguably a mistake to begin with can someone tell me what Rumsfeld did or didnt do that warranted his dismisal/resignation? If you tell me about the uparmor of the Humvees again I'll puke. No one, not even Speaker Pelosi forsaw the IED problem. The fact that our vehicles were not armored to handle a blast is ridiculous. The question of acceptable losses is something all military commanders grapple with. Did we expect or are we demanding that we suffer no losses in future conflict or else?

So again, lets hear he list of complaints because I'll bet there will be a lack of complaints specfic to the way rummy interpreted Bushs Iraq policy

Without partisan bickering?

I'm for using our untapped oil resources, as long as it's done in an environmentally responsible way.

I'm for hydrogen research.

I'm for exploring other cost effective energy sources. Emphasis on cost effective.

Lets remove our dependence on foreign oil, or at least minimize it as much as possible.

But lets be realistic, it will cost more. Will you pay more at the pump knowing it's in the long term interest of the US?

Rummy's quitting as a result of the recent election seems similar in ways to the way his earlier boss Nixon decided to resign as the President.

Did Rummy quit because he figured his chances of being removed by Senate hearings were too great? Isn't he and his boss the same people who talked of others wanting to "cut and run"?

Isn't it strange that he, in essence, decided to cut and run himself?

So, does that make Rumsfeld a coward in a way?

What do you think of all of this?

I think we will be an islamic nation now since the spineless democrats are in power. They will bring the war into us soil. Afganisthan and the iraqis will sail their ships/camels/flying carpets or what ever they have in to us soil and they will force us to become islamic. Shame on you liberals and democrats. It should be illegal to vote democrat.

Firstly, answer seriously. I don't want to hear bashing, as my question is not bashing anyone and is nonpartisian.

I am simply wondering if anyone thinks he'll take up a cause like Clinton and Bush Sr. did, go back into business, simply retire... What do you think he'll do after 08?

The republicans USED TO stand for smaller government and fiscal responsibility, now they preside over the largest debt AND the largest federal government in U.S. history. Pres bush has also outspent every other president that we have ever had!!

Why is it that Democrats use the term neocon so freely while referring to Republicans? If you research the subject, you will see where the term originated. The prefix neo- refers to two ways in which neoconservatism was new. First, many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism.
I got this from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocon) and other recources.

One quote from Wiki: Irving Kristol remarked that a neoconservative is a "liberal mugged by reality," one who became more conservative after seeing the results of liberal policies.

pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

A lot of ASian-American Buddhist have no problem saying "Under God" but why are all the Jews complaining?

Sour Grapes, that seemed to be justified, but now that the Dems won the Mid term, and we who voted against it speak our mind and opinions about it, it is called sour grapes, but in 04, complains against it was not sour grapes.
So I guess you can but we cannot.
yes or no?

since 20% are done for economic reasons (that is , one is more likely to chose abortion is economy is bad, no health care or underinsured or health care & gas etc expensive, & no jobs or working 2 or 3 low paying jobs etc) so more lives are saved via democractic social programs which is the saving of 880 unborn babies a day (statistic bear this out as abortions were at the highest since Roe v Wade and lowest under Clinton.).

More unborn babies are saved from democratic policies than republican rhetoric (talking).
My brother agreed reps do nothing about abortion except talk & said he was thinking of voting dem this time (as he is fed uop with Bush & Taft (voted worst gov in all the states with 17% approval) yet in the end voted straight rep.
I'm wondering why?What are the real reasons he sticks stubbornly with this party. I suspect it's go something 2 do with money more than values as he'ds always loved money in my opinion. What could his reasons be & what are reasons of most men

Considering democrats have more power now i think the economy is in danger. Bush has done a excellent job with the economy with the unemployment at an all time low and homeownership at an all time high. Bush is a humanitarian as well giving 13billion dollars to pakistani orphans.

Bush did not authorize the war, congress did. Almost all the Dems voted for it (because it was popular in the polls). Congress authorized it because they saw the exact same intel as Bush did which was produced by the CIA.
For a praty that is supposed to be the compassionate one you all sure are full of hate.
