If it gets too tight, she runs the risk of a Kerry presidency for 8 years. What-to-do, what-to-do....
Never said we were. I said we are closer to a democracy than we have ever been in the history of this nation of states. The very fact that you would rather have us vote by mob instead of what is in the heart of an individual is one attestation to that fact. However the fact that the Senate is now elected by popular vote and the electoral college is mandatorily affected by the popular vote of each state also attests that we daily move further from the Founders' vision of a Republic and closer to a democracy
let's allow the nation to go straight to totalitarianism, hand over our sovereignty to the UN, and have done with it. Right ?
Oh, you mean like Bush Says 'Yes' to UNESCO? Or did you mean some other way. Interesting as much as you and others try to call Bush more conservative than Reagan he was the one that pushed to get this nation of states out of UNESCO
Well, the rest of us don't want to do that. We want ton get this nation back on the right path and know that that is going to take decades. We're willing to take the needed baby steps and support the reelection of this president.
You just don't get it do you? You say you understand politics but you miss the very point that the parties have switched numerous times over the years. Republicans were not always the conservatives, and Democrats the liberals. Conservatism and the love of the Constitution is not tied to a party. It is a movement in and of itself. It is a value that is held above party affiliation. Sure, some parties adhere to the belief for short periods of time, 50-80 years, but over time the party changes.
This is what's happening right now. The Republican party has accepted the first part of Tyler's statement and are running with it. They realize, that to remain in power, they don't have to actually adhere to conservative values, they just have to give the people what they want. Entitlements. Something for nothing. Well, at least nothing to the people today. But boy, our descendants are really going to thank us for this latest boondoggle of healthcare...
You can CCP cherry picked sentences/phrases from the FFs, or whatever, till Hell freezes over..........that is going to do nothing at all to help the situation
Dear, it's not cherrypicking. I very much doubt you could twist any of the words of the Founders to approve of what this nation of states is slowly becoming. The elected realize this nation is split right down the middle. Keep the masses arguing amongst themselves over the issues and keep centralizing the power in one place. What's worse is that you, who are so ardent for the Republicans, and your counterparts in the Democratic Party, who mirror your absolute 'spirit' for party over all, are the ones who the elected are most happy with and the ones most easily led..
Well you've got a point there...And I hope you know I was being somewhat sarcastic. Don't think I could stand reading NRO
Distort? You are on the verge of total stupidity! Here's a clue for your limited brain cell count...I can report anything I see suspicious in the homes of my fellow citizens anytime I want and have had that right my entire life. And it doesn't lead to the gaulieter and the block captain, it leads to the police officer and his captain.
Are you even capable of thinking?
When I arrive to fly my name isn't just checked against a list doofus, it's checked against the SALE OF A TICKET to be sure I'M THE ONE THAT BOUGHT IT! I guess you complained about having to actually buy paper airline tickets once since you were forced to carry "your papers"! And they asked the same questions they did decades ago...who are you, prove it and are you the guy on the ticket? Like I said, don't like it? Take a bus. Drive. Airplanes are different in that they can be used to KILL US. Remember all the hijackings in the 1960's (probably not, your brain can't deal with actual memories...too small)? That's when metal detectors and terminals were created. So your utopia of "bought your ticket and took your seat" has been dead for 40 friggin' years! Nice try!
DUI checkpoints are valid because you don't have a RIGHT to drive. It's a priviledge and a LICENSE that allows the government to set conditions. Even you should be able to comprehend that simplicity.
And as to Jose Padilla...he is the ONE AND ONLY person being held under this so-called devasting policy you say will force ALL OF US to Gitmo soon! And even he's getting his due process. As I pointed out (which you think you are clever by not mentioning and thus prove you ignore any point you know bursts your bubble), Lindh got legal treatment as a citizen even though he and Padilla just be tried for treason and, if convicted, killed.
But go ahead. Live in your Art Bell and Oliver Stone world and have fun. Your frequency is hereby cancelled Kenneth.
Kerry and the GOP represent the two parties the last time I checked. So, what does it matter to you whether or not a Kerry victory wakes up the GOP? It's a foolish and destructive idea with several Supreme Court vacancies on the horizon, as one issue, if that matters to you. Yes, you were kidding. What party did you say you were supporting?
Yes, you have. So please go make a fool of yourself with others that know you are clueless and can't provide one single amount of evidence to prove any point you think you make.
You've been discredited with fact and you can only run away! Typical from the weak minded. I welcome the fact you will now stop wasting so much cyberspace with your lies and distortions and paranoid fantasies.
I am not staying at home, I am going to vote to unelect everyone I can. All elected officals can count on me voting for the most likely to defeat them. I plan on doing that for the next few elections, no third party for me.
And this deserves repeating
Can the right survive attacks from Bush
