  the last war with iraq started the night of the last chance to comply.

  when do you predict this one will start?

  my guess?

  When this is over and we (Americans) have not killed hundreds of thousands, or jacked the oil from Iraq are you going to be man enough to apologize? No, of course not, just like a good jw socialist you will never admit your wrong.

  moderate

  i define a moderate as someone that occasionally disagrees with their party of affiliation and will (and have) crossed party lines to vote.

  in short, someone that does not always vote for one party, will criticize their party for errors and occasionally agree with the other side.

  I was talking about the midterm election, not the last presidential one
  

  Preston

  1. The Republican gains in the last election were extrorodinay
  2. I also do not agree with Bush's tax cut but for valid reasons not mindless class warfare BS.
     Bush's tax cut (my criticisms)
     • incrase the stockmarket value by 10% - not really necessary will help some pensioners but not a huge gain for economy
     • enable companies to offer IPOs for more money - with interest rates low access to money is not a problem, this is not an issue that needs to be solved
     • make money more readily available for capitol investment - see above
     • increase a limited amount of cash flow into the economy - the group that will have significant increases is the same group that tends to invest and not spend so not as much will be pumped into economy as estimated
     • Most Americans have 401k's they are already tax deductible so no benefit (other than a 10% gain in value of the portfolio)
  3. The economy is cyclical but the government does influnce it in one direction or another. Your take on the economy is not the same as the democrats, the 'hands off approach' is my closly tied to extreme right republicans. At the risk of sounding rude, you are completly wrong here. Read up on president Hoover, and the business cycles of the late 1800's and tell me if you still feel the government should just leave its hands off business. Don't get me wrong there is a balancing act here. Too much government will destroy and economy, too little regulation do almost as much damage.
  4. Dean sounds good, I would also like to see alternatives like vouchers and charter schools. This is why in my first post I said it was not good that the Dems were crippling themselves; good ideas come from the left sometimes.
  5. Joe Liberman was booed last weekend during the California democratic party convention. You might not want to admit it but that says alot.
  6. I was talking about both voters and politicians. For a party to be effective the extreme elements must be controlled, the reps do the dems do not (at least at this moment in time)
  7. All those dems I mentioned were recently in the news, I did not memorize their names but if you want to find out search google.

  I still stand by what I said the dems are doing permanent damage to their image, if they dont get control shortly we might be down to a one party system.

  I agree exactly with what you said Dakota. I don't think the Dems realize how many 'moderates' like myself they are alienating. If the get much stupider they might cease to exist as a viable party.

  Moderate

  
  

  I define a moderate as someone that occasionally disagrees with their party of affiliation and will (and have) crossed party lines to vote. In short, someone that does not always vote for one party, will criticize their party for errors and occasionally agree with the other side. And by that definition I consider myself a moderate, just so you know my personl bias.

  The reason the Democratic Party failed so miserably in the last election and will probably in the next is multifaceted.
  

  1. First, they are offering nothing except criticism. Its fine to criticize Bush’s tax cut plan, I have issues with it myself. What have the Democrats offered to stimulate the economy? NOTHING!! We are in the middle of a two-year recession and the Democrats don’t even have an economic stimulus plan. Unforgivable. Name the issue Dems have no ideas just criticism.
     • Education - nothing except more money (not the best solution)
     • War on Terror - Splintered from hawks to appeasers
     • Economy - no plan (this will kill them)
  2. Second, they are being seen as obstructionist for no reason. Case in point is the Latino judge that they are filibustering. They are asking him question that no judge before has been asked, impartial treatment like that will not be forgotten by the electorate.
  3. Third, both parties have extreme elements. The Democrats are not controlling their extreme elements they are instead being controlled by them. Too many extremely left Democrats are anti-military, blame America, and blame Jews types that are getting to much airtime creating an image for the entire party that will be a death sentence in the next election.
     • The crazy Dem from Washington the talked about the wonderful things Osama did for Arabs.
     • The crazy Dem from the midwest that compared Alquada to American reveloutionary fighters
     • The crazy Dem from the east coast that blamed the Jews
     • Al Gores switch from a Hawk to a dove, completly contradicting himself
     • Clinton's comments
     • Carter's comments

  Personally I dont see this as a good thing, I think the Dems are doing permanant damage to themselves

  for anyone who is interested, there are candlelight peace vigils being held sunday night 3/16/03 around the world starting at 7:00 in all locations.

  information can be found at www.moveon.org.

  these are intended to be peaceful, silent vigils.. we live in a country that values freedom, and this freedom, has to extend to both sides of the war issue.

  There is no peace in Iraq, Saddam kills his own people in large numbers. That’s the point many people seem to miss. To say you are for peace and not war is to create a false binary; peace is not an option. You are either for the status quo, with thousands of Iraqis being killed at Saddam’s hand, or you are for war,a war that I believe will end the situation. I believe the war will be better for the Iraqis in both the long and short run. I understand that some people don’t see it this way and this debate has reached the point of being almost a religion to some people and no real change is possible in the minds of the hard core ‘peace’ and 'war' camps. I think the question of where were all you people when Clinton was taking unilateral action with the US military is a valid one. Until I get a good answer for that I remain suspicious of the ‘peace’ camps motivation. Why where Clinton’s actions ok but Bush’s are not. Terry

  Europe is full of anti-Semitic pigs it always has been it always will be. Honestly, I hope we pull all of our troop’s home from everywhere when this is over and let the euro-trash deal with their own problems, they deserve it. Terry

  my understanding of the law is that if female is under 18 and the male is over 18 then it legally qualifies as a form of stat. rape. The age difference makes a difference with the serverity of the crime and what exactly the male will be tried for. for example 19 year old male 17 yearl old female is a misdemeanor; 30 year old male 15 year old female is a felony. California has a good and logical stat. rape law IMHO.
