I think time will prove Snow correct, actually. But PlatotheWise - assuming Cheney had the power to do that, which is an absurd slur BTW, why would he wait until after the election. Where's the political payoff in that? Cheers, Daiwa

Somehow, they are limiting the scope of their "fact check" in some fashion. I've seen video and heard audio that gives the lie to the claim of consistency. All you have to do is review some of the Dem primary debates. Cheers, Daiwa
On that we can agree wholeheartedly. Daiwa
I was giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt, Steve - Washington Post tracking poll has it 51% Bush to 48% Kerry, but you can't call that anything but a dead heat. Interesting you consider Bush the underdog, given he had an 8-11 point poll lead just 2 weeks ago and has managed to weather his horrible performance in Debate #1 pretty well. I could be wrong, but I think that shows that style won't trump substance this time around. Unless Bush makes a co
I've read through his remarks and although Kerry was not actually talking about what he would do , he was talking about what his goal would be: to reach a point where the terror threat is just a nuisance, sort of like organized crime - inevitable, but contained at an "acceptable" level. I'm paraphrasing him a bit here, but that seems to be the gist of it. The Republicans will be stretching the truth a tad to claim Kerry consid
might thinks of us OMG!!... I accidentally put an s at the end of a word! Oh, the shame! I may have to move to a shack in rural Montana (whoops, guess that's redundant) to spare myself the approbation of my peers. Oh, woe is me! Please, don't let Terry McAwful see this!! I'm beggin you!<BR
He's never gotten it. Why would he get it now? Cheers, Daiwa
Desert Fox - I can't say whether Kerry himself is a hateful person or not, but I can see that he is a political opportunist more than willing to surf the wave of hate created and perpetuated by others. Doesn't seem to bother him at all. And the Bush hating started before Bush even took the oath, so don't try to tell me it's his fault. Your opinion about what President Bush thinks is also a tad off. He's said what many people of fai
I think the point of the person who asked the question was to see if the President felt he could grow or was really stagnant at Kerry contends ("more of the same"). It is not a weakness with me or many others that a person admits they could have done things differently. W seems to think that if you or me were given the same infor
The gist was complete and total bullshit and the new title confirms it. Cheers, Daiwa
The 911commsion attributed lack of prescience, lack of imagination, as one basis for America’s failure to protect our people. Mr. Kerry’s insistence that no sufficient connection existed between Saddam and Osma is hardly imaginative, hardly prescient. It’s ugly political opportunism at its lowest. JOHN Kerry is simply shameless i
In fact he abhored the brand of Islamic fundamentalism represented by the Taliban and their supporters,In fact, he had tried to weld a multi ethnic, sectarian and religious society into an Arab civil society. And you can't be serious. Civil society? May Allah save us from such civility.<
The involvement of the UN not Haliburton, will at least mean a short step toward peace. Placing your hopes and dreams in the hands of the UN is folly and wishful thinking, to be kind, completely unsupported by history. The UN has been worse than pathetic in achieving or maintaining peace anywhere - loo
BTW, Kerry can't win a civil campaign , which is part of the problem. If he can't use lie after lie after lie to paint Bush as the worst President since Hoover and the most evil human being since Hitler, he can't win. Talk about misleading , to use one of his favorite words. 0.02 Cheers, Daiwa
Bush is smart enough to know that no matter what he says, only time & the playout of events will determine whether his major policy decisions were mistakes or not. What the left thinks his mistakes have been is public record. I respect him for not willingly stepping on that land mine just to satisfy either the press or the Kerry campaign's demands because it would simply be handing them a loaded gun . If you seriously<
There are obviously people out there who would like to make the election about nothing more than the 3 ninety minute debates, because if Kerry can look and sound good and the media mouthpieces work it right, they think they can make those 3 debates mean more than Kerry's 20 year career and pathetically wet-finger-to-the-political-wind campaign. That would truly be a triumph of style over substance. Problem is, I don't think the electorate is
There is no acceptable cae where the president can lie to the people to get them to start a war. If I hear this one more time I'm gonna puke (again). This is Michael Moore/Terry McAwful BULLSHIT. Take it and put where it belongs, either down the toilet or up your arse. Cheers, Daiwa</font
Thanks for clearing away some of the partisan fog, couchman. Cheers, Daiwa
You're obviously not bothering to read, much less contemplate, the replies here, blogic. You're very close to being completely ignored. Cheers, Daiwa
Aw, go easy, Baker. This furious backfilling is kind of fun to watch. And you gotta give blogic high poll ratings for tenacity. Cheers, Daiwa
You're nothing if not tenacious, blogic. Keep 'em coming. Cheers, Daiwa
Good one, blogic. Grasping at straws, of course, but cute and you're still crackin' me up. You get my vote for John Stewart's replacement, but Bush gets my vote in the election. Cheers, Daiwa
blogic, you crack me up. First, that's the kind of prejudicial rhetorical question that should never have been chosen by Gibson in the first place and it's a lose-lose question for Bush no matter how he responds. It's classic "Have you or have you not stopped beating your wife? Yes or No ?" Given how McAwful and the other partisan snakes went ballistic over "internet s ," for cryin' out loud, you
Hey, Pete - Nice job of not bothering to think. "Democrat at heart" makes sense, since you're certainly not using your brain. Cheers, Daiwa
Your reply didn't quite get at what I'm curious about. Why should you or people in similar circustances be "courted" as you put it? I may be wrong, but I get the impression you feel you have no opportunity to achieve success or happiness without the government doing something for you. Am I misreading you? You sound so despondent over not being able to feed at the trough, as it were. Cheers, Daiwa
