Kerry has flip-flopped on the issue of whether John Edwards is fit to be President. In January, Edwards was too inexperienced for the job. Apparently, Edwards learned alot in the following 6 months because he is now Kerry's VP pick. In the last six months, I think both Edwards learned a lot, and the peo
Kerry has gone from being in favor of the war to taking an unclear position, thanks the Howard Dean and the antiwar democrats. Here are some Kerry quotes; do they match his current position? I don't see any inconsistancies in those quotes, and yes, he holds the same position today. In fact, as of yester
It is obvious that Kerry has waffled because I proved above that he voted against the war and is now out there saying he supports the war and would have gone to war even if he knows what he knows now. I don't think you proved anything. He never voted against the war.
I do not think it is right for the government to take any more of my money just because I am wealthier then the next guy. So you would probably favor a flat tax rate (such as that advocated by ultraconservative Steve Forbes). Even Bush doesn't go that far. You need to understand the concept of gradua
The last part of your “essay” is funny because you begin to sound like a Socialist Please look up the definition of socialism because you are using the term incorrectly.
Who gives the government the right to pick and choose who pays for what? The United States Constitution.
You cannot make the connection that Kerry was not willing to pay for the war just because he was one of twelve Senators who voted against this appropriations request. You seem to be contradicting yourself. Please clarify.
But the final passage of the bill, which included all of the amendments you cited, Kerry voted against along with eleven other Senators. Um, sorry, but you're just wrong here. The final passage of the bill didn't include all the amendments I cited. It only included those amendments which passed. So Ker
When you said that “Kerry did not "vote for the war" nor did anyone else in the Congress because there never was a vote "for the war”… well I am not sure how you can have a war without force. John Kerry plus everyone else who voted for H.J.RES.114 voted for the President to have the authority to use force. Anytime someone uses fo
Republicans often try to discredit John Kerry by saying he is a waffler, i.e. he changes his position on issues. They often use the example that he voted "for the war in Iraq" but "against the $87 billion to support the troops". This claim is either a sign that the purveyor of this misstatement fails to understand basic government, or it is a deceptive distortion, whi
I respect every person's right to vote, but I oppose every attempt to impose religious belief on our laws, and if the only opposition I can offer is with MY vote, then so be it. In Missouri (where I live) at least, your vote lost (by more than two to one). But it's not about imposing religious belief. N
Haha, I skimmed that guy's page; and I don't think that I'll donating any money to his cause by purchasing his book. Skimming the webpage isn't the same as reading the book. If you don't want to pay for it, get it from the library. It's not a "cause", It's his personal story that he wants to share with
Ron Reagan is a ballet dancer who makes his father role in his grave. I find it very sad that it keeps coming up that Ron Reagan "is a ballet dancer". This article has nothing to do with ballet dancing, and I don't see how that fact can in any way be germane to any topic in this article. If you felt the
Ronald Prescott Reagan is not a junior for the same reason George Walker Bush is not a junior. Trying to discredit Ron Reagan because he happens to have danced ballet is really sad. He is a reporter by profession. If you've never seen the Joffrey Ballet, you are missing out on a beauty in human achievement.
Anyway there is so many humans that one unborn don't hurt human vitality at all. By that same argument: there are already enough humans, so no one will mind if I knock you off right now...
Does anyone know where I could find the statistics for abortions carried out in the US from 2000 to present? I've searched for hours and come up with next to nothing. Please help! Even if you don't care about the data, hopefully someone will want to show off their google skills!
Please post a comment after you read this, if even to say, "I read it, and was not persuaded by it at all." -rob The Case Against George W. Bush By Ron Reagan It may have been the guy in the hood teetering on the stool, electrodes clamped to his genitals. Or smirking Lynndie England and her leash. Maybe it
Just in case you can't wait for my personal account of today's rally, here is the article from our local paper: Kerry, Edwards greet thousands at rally BY JAKE WAGMAN AND JO MANNIES Of the Post-Dispatch 08/05/2004 Sen. John Kerry (left) and Sen. John Edwards (AP) The Democratic presidential ticket chose the site of
But why should we care what YOUR religion is when making our laws? You don't have to care about my religion (though I hope you will). You just have to respect my right to vote how I want.
That's what confuses me about Christians when they say, "I take the Bible literally." Do they take every word and passage literally? Are there parts of it that override other parts? If you say that Jesus telling us to love our neighbors as ourselves overrides the rather horrific instructions in books like Leviticus, does it not f
Personally, I can't stand the taste or smell of onions. This hampers me a great deal when it comes to the food I choose, since most cooks use onions pretty regularly. I was in Korea for 2 weeks awhile ago, and I was going to take it as an opportunity to try and 'get over' my hatred for onions. I tried REALLY hard. I was at the po

I don't understand how anyone could think this would ever be possible. There are an unlimited amount of analogies you could use to illustrated this. How do to 'change' what you prefer... Read the book Beyond Gay by David Morrison, then you'll u
Well, I saw Kerry for the third time today. I went to the rally as a volunteer. It was pretty good. The organizer said there were about 15,000 people there. Much different than the primary rallies that I attended. A lot of interesting things occurred, but I'm damn tired right now (not to mention extremely tired), so I'll have to try to find time tomorrow to
Robert: I still don't see it that way. If I won a Nobel prize for outstanding work, then year after year the standards dropped...well, it wouldn't mean MY Nobel was worthless. It would just mean the the criteria changed after I'd won mine. It most certainly would mean that the institution of the No
