This selects all Democrats on the ticket, regardless of experience, relevancy to the position, or who the best person for the position is. This is only one step above not voting. Such partisanship is mostly for the lazy. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-

The same Republicans that are ballancing the budget today? Bush has been the leader in big spending, and he was not part of the balanced budget movement of the 1990's as far as I know. Supposedly the plan is to reign in spending starting next year. Didn't you hear the outrage over a leaked memo projecti

I think the Republicans had a plank in 88 dedicated to "no new taxes." Then Vice-President Bush said, "Read my lips: No new taxes". This personal promise had a much greater affect than the party platform. Clinton did look at polls. Still, the issue of balancing the budget was one that was broug

The result of fines like this will be higher consumer prices (advertisers will pay more to help defray these fines and they in turn will pass the cost along to you) I doubt that. Most TV programs are not fined on a regular basis, if at all.

I don't think that Kerry offers much on the issues I disagree with Bush on. I don't think Kerry will reduce social domestic spending. I don't think he will expand the military or make major improvements to the intelligence community.

Mr. K: Primarily, I would meet with Arafat and Sharon on neutral soil — perhaps in Istanbul or Zurich — and persuade them that the conflict has accomplished nothing but blood-shed and that a series of concurrent compromise must be put into play. For starters, I would suggest that Jerusalem be declared an inter-faith city with int

and with bowling for columbine, moore did not make anything up. he did the same as he is doing with this new movie, he's taking facts and drawing conclusions.

It's about a whole people having their sovereign state taken away from them and given to a people that they have been opposed to for thousands and thousands of years... no referendum, no vote... just 'these guys were here 40000 years ago, lets give it to them... never mind who is here now..."

I think this would be great. One thing that would be nice about getting discount games from Drengin is that you don't have to worry so much about buying "dud" games because with the subscription you aren't paying for a particular game.

Yeah, there were cutting edge gadgets back then, but it seems like there are more things now that involve an ongoing monthly bill, whereas just buying something is a one time expense. I do agree that a demand for lower prices has driven a search for lower wages, and there are some negative consequences of that.

The "average family" seems to have many more material goods than people had in the "good old days". Multiple TVs, multiple cars, cable/satellite TV, computer(s), internet access, dishwashers, air conditioning, bigger homes, convenience food, eating out more, etc.

I think more than a question of size, it's a question of time and reliability. I would be willing to start a download at night and leave it running while I was sleeping and at work the next day if I was reasonably sure the download would be successful.

I don't know if 2/3 of Congress wants it, but a Republican Congress did vote to give it to a Democratic President. I'm not sure if forcing pork to be more transparent would be more effective than a line item veto.
