And, what specifically are you referring to when you state that Kerry "represents everything the Democratic party has fought against for 50 years?" Just because he's rich? Is that what you're referring to? Sadly, this is unbelievable that anyone could even think this.

For anyone to raise the silver spoon issue to demonstrate that Kerry is unfit to lead is ludicrous, given that Bush was the one born with it. Also, the point raised here by T-Bone about the Bushies' connections to the Saudis cannot go unnoticed. As he pointed out, the Saudis bailed out Dubya in his failed business venture. The Bushie-Saudi ties are not undocumented. Isn't that ironic given that 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, and more iro

drmiler, I raised those sites, because they were PREDOMINANTLY Dubya supporters in 2000. Hello................ Maybe "republicans" specifically weren't mentioned here originally, but mentioning them now sure is a good starting point. Not too many democrats supported dubya in 2000, nor do they support him now. Some do, but not very many. ITime to get your own head out of your own friggin' ass, drmiler.

Excellent post. Bush has been leading us into the New Dark Ages. One thing you didn't mention, though. Narcissism will be his undoing, I think. His extreme narcissistic personality does not enable him to see fault in himself, thereby crippling his ability to make any changes. He's a disaster GET THEE TO THE POLLING PLACES. VOTE HIM OUT!!

"Maybe. But NOT in your lifetime or mine!" Wake up and smell the roses, drmiler. They are already seeing Bush as a failure. There are sites devoted to republicans who are disheartened by his lunacy. Even some of his own administration are saying things that contradict his contention that everything is rosey and that he makes no mistakes. Some examples, as articulated in this article: Republicans for Kerry (http://www.thenati

You will be all happy to know that I've sent a letter to the brad god to take down my joeuser blog. This has got to be the sickest, most demented blog site I've ever encountered.

I believe torture is against the Geneva Convention. Besides, it's MORALLY WRONG. We seem to be so quick to condemn others regarding their abuse of detainees, but the hypocrisy is that we call it "justifyable interrogation methods". I'm with Blogic on this one. It's an American disgrace. It provides fodder for the terrorists. And, just because we're at "war" as opposed to being terrorists, does not give Americans the license to undertake such barb

Myrrander, I know you were also asking for sources. That's OK. I get it. My point was that when someone posts republican diatribe, there is seldom any request for citations. It's applauded here as God-given fact.

Thanks, CraigAlan. I know you are right. This election has been decided by almost everyone. I'm not really trying to change anyone's mind here. What I attempt to do is just add some clarity to why Democrats and liberals think the way they do, and why we are going to vote the way we do. As you can see from the previous two posters, they have also made up their minds, they both hold complete disdain for me, which I could care less (as feelings are q

An observation I have made here is that whenever people post political stuff here, particularly those who post Democratic or Pro-Kerry arguments, many here insist upon citations, otherwise categorically dismissing a Democrat's claim as liberal lies and propoganda. Then, they merrily go about there ways posting the most Pro-Bush stuff without any citations, but the st

I think this was an excellent post. Thanks, Blogic. It amazes me how people are comparing apples and oranges, or shall I say babies and teeth, when there is no correlation in their arguments. How distressing. I do agree with the author. Bush's policies have not helped anyone through anything. As far as the causal relationship between his policies and the increase in abortion rates, there is nothing that would cause me to not believe that Bush's p

I think history will read that Bush has the blood of very many veterans on his hands. I would never, in a million years, vote for Bush. NEVER. Not in this lifetime. Nothing will change my mind. NOTHING. If something really scandalous came out about Kerry that caused me to not want to vote for him, then I just wouldn't vote. Bush will never have my support or my vote. Never has, never wil.

From what I've heard, Kerry is , in fact, very deeply religious and spiritual. He just doesn't find the need to wave religion in people's faces, the way Bush does. Kerry's concept of his religiousness is very personal. Personally, I don't give a rat's ass if he goes to church or not. That's not what religion is about. That's not what spirituality is about. I believe that religion/spirituality are an inner sense of God. It's not about w

"I don't want the Vatican, some Mullah, or any other powerful and I might add "foreign" religous leader trying to influence the outcome of our elections. " T Bones, I can't agree with you more. But, I'd like to add one thing. I don't want ANY religious leader, foreign or American, trying to influence the oucome of our elections. Once you start making religious decisions about our leaders, the separation of church and state gets narrower a

I'm reprinting this article here because I just know in my heart how utterly wrong and futile the war in Iraq is, how much of a disaster it was from the beginning, what a travesty and shameful chain of events that we, the United States of America, has perpetrated upon the Iraqi people.

Just because Edwards is a trial lawyer does not make him a money grubbing whore. Trial lawyers are necessary in order to hold industry, medicine, etc. accountable for errors, greed and resulting personal injury. However, I do concede that many trial lawyers are ambulance chasers. I don't put Edwards in that category. From what I understand, he will be, and has been in the past, instrumental in attempting to bring lawsuits into check. I applaud him

It is apparent that the only way to win the war in Iraq is to bomb the living daylights out of everything. If we kill everyone, there will no longer be an insurgency. Gee, maybe we should just get it over quickly with "nucular" bombardment. What a sad and sorry situation. It is my understanding that the troops refused to go on patrol is because their equipment is unsafe, and our sorry ass government won't spend the money to upgrade or fix

You are absolutely right that the environmentalist agenda does very little to advance our petrochemical based economy. But, what they could bring to the table, if invited, would be ways to accomplish an energy agenda without trashing our environment. That would, of course, emphasize a shift from the petrochemical economy to a more sustainable energy economy, something that people who are heavily invested in petrochemicals do not want to debate. But,

Today, the New York Times enthusiastically endorsed John Kerry for president.

Thanks, Myrrander. You're a good writer, and I'm looking forward to your article. But, this energy thing really makes me wonder......... First of all, the secrecy of the meetings would inherently tend to be fraught with speculation. If the issue was regarding the peak oil production issue, well guess what? That's no secret. However, basing public policy on it in secret is very suspect, particularly if the only people invited to the table are o
