The world may not care about Bill's sex life, but a lot a Americans did. Some people still think that marriage vows mean something and to break those vows in the confines of the Oval Office shows a distinct lack of character. My favorite definition of character is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.
Bill got his "respect" from other countries by kissing their butts and putting aspects of our sovereignty in danger. Bush thinks of the U.S. first. That's what I want in a president.
So it's better to have a former drunken cokehead frat boy C student in the White House? He wouldn't pass our company's background check, so why should we hire him to be the leader of the free world?
And we had so much international goodwill after 9/11 that was completely squandered on Iraq.
Putting th US first is what makes other people in other countries hate us, which boils and boils and boils until a Bin Laden is born. A multinational view makes allies.
I won't even start in about the Patriot Act.
Am I the only one who reads this as
I hate Bush This is what they told us at the rallyCNN is balanced journalismI hate all things Republican I saw it on TV So it must be trueI hate BushI watched to Convention last night, and I am fired up
get used to it, what do you think republicans did for 8 years, come on
and they STILLLLLL talk about the Clintons, that's what REALLY cracks me up.
read it however you want, no biggie, it's still FRIDAY & no matter what Rick's right, nothing's going to change much either way.
I'm just weary of the hateful spite from liberal bashing republicans. What does that solve?

Yeah right. Government won't work until you take the people out, then you don't need one.
Like Churchill said- Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other ones.
Too bad there is no way to revert to communism. Hey gotta admit it...If people were not corrupt it would be perfect humanity. Ya know it's all fun and games until someone starts a revolution. Damn that Lenin!

That works well in most cases. However the State of Washington in its infinate "wisdom" has decided to change the rules for primarys. You will now have to declare weather you are Democrat or Republican in order to get the proper ballot. Ergo I as an Independant am locked out of the primaries. How the hell is that gonna help?

You know, under communism there would be no ticket scalpers. How nice would that be?

It's the same in NY. You can only vote in the primary if you're a member of the party that's having the primary. But I don't see anything wrong with that. If I was a member of a party I shouldn't be able to vote in another party's primary.

The purpose of a primary is for the members of the parties to decide their candidates in the general election. If you are not a party member you have no vested interest in the choice of candidate. Otherwise, members of a party with a candidate running unopposed could vote for a poor candidate to run against. In NH you must declare a party to vote in a primary. Then two weeks later you can re-register as an independent again.

Is that how Kerry got the Nod?
People went with "electable on paper" instead of the candidate they liked, I think.

In my opinion, though I never would have voted for him, Dean is the better candidate. At least he stands for something.
I hate Bush
