five percentage points separate the 4 catagories in the article that shooter links to, I can only conclude that the american people can't decide what aspect of republican policy they hate the worst
But please, can we not put so much emphasis on Iowa and NH? Thay are so much less relevant than they would like to be.
As evidence, please see "Bush v. McCain, 2000"
but this, from GG
But true strength means adhering to your convictions and pursuing your principles even when doing so is difficult, when it's not always the most risk-free course. That is an important trait; it has nothing to do with machismo or anything else; and it is this form of authentic, meaningful strength that Democrats lack almost completely, and everyone can see that.
Illustrates not only why the dems keep failing, but also why Bush keeps winning - The Bush "mystique", which is really narcissistic myopia, beats the "stay the course" drum with such consistant conviction that no other drumbeat can be heard
Now can we have some more oil please
The alleged assailants are alleged to have been on the phone with an unidentified individual who in turn is engaged in weapons of mass distruction related activities.
Colin Powell says so.
More at ten
The PKK is really a Turkish group, not Iraqi, and there is no love lost between Iraqi and Turkish Kurds. However, this animosity is irrelevant. In assisting Turkey, Bush reinforces the idea that a goverment can pursue terroists no matter where they are.
Between and agnostic and an atheist?
Don't know
Don't care
So he can tell us what he doesn't know or remember
My own favorite, for times that are not my favorite, from Shakespeare:
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals all up in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Headlines:
"Republicans continue to block health care for children"
"Republicans bring congress to a standstill, block all progress"
We are letting them frame the debate.
Again
to clean up your mess, this time.
But wait! That was just the first guy.
There is a god and jesus christ is his son.
Clearly delusional.
So, what, a woman president would not be acceptable to some in the mideast?
Your candidate is bin Laden, maybe?
Why are you letting someone else elect your president? Why do you hate america, and the values we stand for?
A woman president would not be giving the world the finger. It would be America standing up for, and standing behind, our system. That is what people want to respect us for.
Just the ones that dissagree with ME.
Why do you hate America and the values we stand for?
The decision that Money = Free Speech was, I think, one of the most damaging ones to our recent democracy. It reduces our representation from 1 person/1 vote to $1/1 vote, and we end up with headlines like this post.
Freedom isn't free, the right likes to say. But dead soldiers in Iraq are not buying our freedom any more than the ridiculous money in this campaign does. This is not a dis to those dead soldiers and their families, but we have to get out of this mentality that just because soldiers die, they must have died for some greater good, instead of a bunch of f'king lies (So, I digress)
Only sound policy based on our own sound values, as the constitution outlines, can do that.
And so, in the end, we get the best representation that money can buy. Turns out, the best is not good enough
Leading the democrats to solid majorities in all 50 states.
No Rahm, not Pelosi, not Reid. Not any candidate.
Dean.
That whoever the eventual nominee is, they can stop using sanctamonious boilerplate like "the politics of hope", and actually do something
For reinforcing the idea that the left is full of elitists. The old, the poor and the stupid go for Clinton? Is that your message? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
And the "fearful" vote goes for her also, according to you. Maybe people just trust her more to handle the critical issues facing our country. You (conspicuously) omitted the numbers of people who are "fearful" about global warming and health care, where the numbers were more evenly split.
I will vote for any democrat who is nominated, and I don't particularly care who it is. The phrase "drinking the Clinton Kool-Aid" has appeared on your posts and others, and I hate it. It is a dismissive and childish phrase. And, it appears, more aptly applies to you.
For those who want the whole story:

Can you jounalists please stop navel gazing and report on some real news? Bush is in Israel, turning up the rhetoric on Iran. Again. THere has been more info on the destroyed Gitmo tapes, and others
Thanks
Because if it's not in the papers, it's not really happening.
I think I might be a republican.
But I did not have sex with that president.
The more people you screw, the more republican you are.
