very easy.it's the same hypocrisy that the Kennedy kid (Robert Jr.?)uses to tout wind power but doesn't want the windmills located where it'll interfer with his view from the Kennedy compound.

I agree with you 100%\n\nThere should be some way that a third party candidate could make a credible run for the White House.  The last person to run a successful campaign of this sort was Teddy Roosevelt !\n\nThe problem is money and support.  How can an independent candidate ever raise the huge sums of money necessary?  Who really wants to fund someone with a 0% perceived chance of winning?  In other words, who wants to throw their money away just to make a political statement?\n\nSupport is the second factor.  Even fluff movies like "Legally Blonde 2" give an indication how thoroughly corrupt Congress is.  You have to play the game and make deals with the devil.  It's all nauseating.\n\nSo, let me put the ball back in your court.  Can you think of a viable way to run a third party candidate?

Kerry should have read his speech more closely and all this could have been avoided. Does anyone really think that the republicans have been helped by this tiny diversion? Not hardly! You are right in your thinking. Who is hurting who? Don't get so disgusted that you don't vote because you'll just be giving it to those who will continue to take from all of us and gvie to those who will only line their pockets and those of their freinds.

Because of people like Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi , Hillary& Reid the liberals are lieing low until arter the election. GW fears no one & he is out there fighting for his idears (right or wrong) I like some one who holds on to his idears no matter how some people feel about them. At least he is not wishey/ washey like some people. What he said yesterday he will say tomorrow.The polls do not change his mind.

This is what's truly hilarious about the liberals. They swear to God (strike that, they don't believe in God)- swear to whatever the hell they believe in that W is an idiot, and we're all mindless drones for thinking other wise. They laugh for months if he so much as mispronounces something (apparently further proof that he's retarded), and yet...\nthey actually believe that this same guy could have masterminded 9-11 just so he'd have an excuse to go after Saddam and steal his oil. WTF kind of mindset is that, anyway?\n\nBut what else can we expect from people who keep re-electing Ted-dui Kennedy?

Better worry about the rest of American voters as well and not focus on a single group.  I hope the Republicans wise up and choose a moderate candidate who can win, instead of trying to sell a candidate who gats the biggest conservative base.  A candidate who can win, especially with congress once again in liberal hands, is much better than one who looks good, but only to conservatives.

Doesnt it remind you of why you voted for George W.???  Does me...I would rather have a man in office who loves our country and supports our soldiers who are over there risking their lives everday, Kerry wants to criticize our soldiers despite the fact that some have died for his right to live in a free world.  What a POS.  He doesnt deserve his next breath much less for someone to let him run his mouth in public and address the American ppl...

does this not just prove that they are human and we all make mistakes from time to time! i think we all expect our government bodies to be whiter than white, take big bill clinton, he was well kicked into touch for liking a cigar or two,  tony blair, he likes chase the bone that george likes to throw for him! point is why are we surprised when we find this out, they are no different than us, and prone to debt, run ins with the law etc

This is an easy one.  It's because everything Dems portray themselves as is a facade, a Potempkin Village.  They're all about themselves and gathering further wealth and power.  If that's not true, then why does Teddy "Fast Swimming" Kennedy oppose the off-shore wind farm?  Cheap power, good for the environment.  But we can't have that because it would impede upon his yachting.  And if they're sooooo for the poor, why don't they pitch in some of their tens of millions of dollars?  Or at least stop sticking all their millions in off-shore tax shelters?  They're hypocrites.  At least the Republicans are living in reality and are more honest about who they are.

Yeah, me too... all of their lavish lifestyles and cushy jobs.  As a white male, I am sickened that these immigrants get all of the power, money, and jobs.  I try really hard to avoid paying taxes just so immigrants can take tax money and use it on... ummm... the occaisional trip to the emergency room and for a seat in a classroom.  Giving a human being the ability to live with some kind of dignity while I'm swimming in my ignorance really makes me mad!

It's unfortunate but true.  The 1st televised presidential debate was the one between JFK and Nixon.  Folks that heard it on the radio thought Nixon did well but those who saw it on TV overwhelmingly came out in favor of JFK.  It's human nature.  In fact it's animal nature.  Peahens are attracted to peacocks due in large part to their colorful, ornamental feathers.  In other words, the peahens always vote for the better looking candidates too.  But here's the kicker, like or not, better looking people get treated better, they're received more warmly and people are more receptive to them in general.  All other things being equal, and they never are, that could be a plus when it comes to diplomatic relations and the US could use some help in that area right about now.  Elections are popularity contests whether you're a kid voting for your high school student body president or an adult voting for the US president.  Yes, many voters do try to peel back the layers of a candidate's spin onion to determine whether they're truly vote-worthy or not and some people also watch grass grow in their spare time.  The masses don't have the time or energy to devote to that laborsome (and arguably meaningless) task, so they go with their "gut" and their "gut" tells them to vote for whoever "looks" like s/he can do the job better.  Their "gut" is tied to their eyes.  They're inextricable and if your eyes inform your gut, even on a subconscious level, then you're voting for the better-looking candidate.

I am white and I never understand why a member of a church., club, . private school gets up and makes a speech saying we have to diversify.  I cannot image any good ever coming of it.\n\nAnd they often go on to say we have to spend money to attract minorities and change our ways to make them comfortable like no Christmas party, must say Holiday party,  I hate that.

Sorry, but I think this is just damned funny. The left screamed to high heaven about the right using "scare tactics" to try to win the election, but the draft was a DEMOCRAT scare tactic. My, my - the chickens have come home to roost, now haven't they? Kinda makes the whole M-tv "Vote or Die" a little foolish in retrospect.....
540547
well are you going to teach them?  what is the addage of counting your chickens before they are hatched.  these 'dems' are conservatives and had to run with republican values to win.  so if you think liberals have this great mandate, you're wrong.  these conservative liberals will have to vote conservative to please their constituents.  and 15 is not a majority really.. when there are already about 20 to 30 that vote with the republicans now!

Liberals have done that to whites also, but not at the rate they have to blacks.  They preach that blacks are worthless and cannot do anything unless the Democrats/government is there to hold their hands.  I think the Dems are still holding a grudge against the end of their reign as slave holders.  They even lost their hold as sharecropper overlords, KKK members and Jim Crowe law writers.  Welfare was their last trick to destroy the black race.
