I don't have a news link, but look it up on CNN or whatnot.

I pretty much have little to think, but do tell me what you think.  Do you think the couple has potential?  do you think they can beat B u s h?

Cheers,

FYI, Bush isn't censored anymore.

[Corsair]

Not much to say on that topic yet. It's as good as any other choice, I guess.

Just what we need, ANOTHER Trial Lawyer in Washington.

Sandwich: what do you mean?

Well, at least Kerry didn't pick McCain, with his talk of a *shudder* unity government. Edwards is ever so slightly better, but still a looong way off from acceptable.

Remember Bush used to be censored?  Hence the use of B etc for Bush in the initial post.

Well, thereyago

ooh, right.

*wanted to see what would happen if Howard Dean got his hands on some government*

That dude is ****ing crazy.

[Rictor]

That dude had the most peaceful, progressive policy of anyone who actually had a shot at the Presidency. Dean stood for something, unlike Kerry who's been sitting on the fence so long and so hard that he doesn't even remember what the word "principal" means anymore.

The media killed Howard Dean, plain and simple. Apparently, it IS ok to wage and illegal war based on lies, kill tens of thousands of civilians, occupy two foreign nations, set up a puppet government in each, destroy the environment, stuff the pockets of your corporate buddies, obliterate civil liberties, side with ultra-rightist wackos on abortion and gay marriage, but it is NOT ok to be passionate enough about a subject to raise your voice above a certain decibal level. Yeah, democracy in action...

I'm a right-wing Christian and I like God, guns, but dislike gays.  So I have nothing against American imperialism.  Heil!

I really hope that is a wind up

See, this is why your kind scare me more than the Boogeyman. I wouldn't even be able to tell if you were kidding...

Well, nothing wrong with liking God, and guns aren't that big a problem in society, despite what Michael Moore may say. However, you should realize that even at his sleaziest, a President should do what the majority of the nation is in favour of, and that is in this case sanctioning gay marriage. I really don't care to whom, if anyone, a president prays, but in his capacity as a leader of the nation, he must not base his decisions on religion beliefs, and thats exactly what Bush is doing.

As for imperialsm, thats a whole other matter. People can be imperialist without a hint of God, and conversely, religious people can be some of the staunchest anti-imperialists, precisely because of their faith.

Kerry and Edwards have a respectable attitude on that one:
Turn it over to the states and let them decide.  That way, the people are more directly involved rather than letting national politics decide.

Hmm...  Usually the Democrats don't favor small government.  Maybe they're trying to get a "Republicans for Kerry" thing going?

Oh yeah.  About gay rights, it completely depends on where you live.  If you live on the Coasts (California or Massachusetts <- Spelling?), then you're probably supportive of it.  But if you live in the South or the Midwest, then you're probably against it.  And if you live in Europe, gay rights may be legal already.  So no, popular opinion is split by region here.  Thus it's wrong to say that the entire nation is supportive of it.

[Ace]

Republicans (at the high level) don't favor small government either. Look at Reagan and Bush.

Then look at Clinton. For all of his faults he did balance the budget, get it close to being paid off, and did reform on programs like wellfare.

If anything, other than his personal life, that sounds like a conservative to me...

[Knight Templar]

Not necesarily. I doubt I would become a homophobe if I moved to South Dakota...
