Yes I definitely think so I think hes the only Republican with any hope. I'm a Democrat and even I like McCain.

Already with Pelosi backing Murtha and Murtha bragging he has the votes for majority whip this could back fire. Moderate Democrates are already backing Hoyer who would be the wiser choice. And already Murtha has been ranked the unethical democrat by several groups. From what I read on the Drudge Report it sounds like its going to backfire.

If you were stuck in the middle as you indicate, then roughly 1/2 the time you would agree with the Republicans and 1/2 the time you would agree with the Democrats.\n\nI like you am somewhere in the middle, however I lean a little bit more to the right as there are more issues that I am conservative on.  That's not to say that I think that the Democrats are all idiots and that everything that they say is bunk.  For environmental issues, they say a lot of good things -- but not all.  \n\nMy problem with the Democratic party is that their basic philosophy is that the American people are stupid and need to be taken care of.  The Republicans on the otherhand feel that Americans are smart enough to know what they want and mostly don't want to be dictated to.

Basically thats rhetoric that no one can win against. I worked at the Capitol when Bush was Govornor of Texas and he is by definition a uniter (willing to work with democrats and Republicans) He is not centered along party lines. However the liberals don't in all honesty want to work with Bush they want to see him fail and they want to turn out the demorcrats to the next election to win in Congress and win in the next presidential election. Makes you wonder where there real "dividers" are.

Were all Republicans 'Clinton-wackers'... answer that question, and you will find the answer to yours....

no.  its a republic.  but it's not even a republic anymore, its an item up for bid to the highest bidder.\n\nwhen George Washinton stepped down from the podium, he warned against one thing.....and that was the creation of a two party system.  so what happen?  as soon as he stepped down, they created a two party system.  its my belief that if you care enough about something that your willing to represent it, then you set aside your differences and stay commited to the goal......a prosperous society with equality for all.

First of all, yes I do see your point and I'm pleased you had the wherewithall to present it in an intelligent manner.  \n\nI agree with you completely, and on every point.  While many criticisms can be made about all political parties, the politicians that like to bend the truth more than any other tend to be Democrats.  I'm certain there are some die-hard Democratic supporters out there that will disagree, but it'd been my experience that anyone who is open minded and well informed will agree.  I have personally voted both Repulican and Democrat during my life, with an occasional venture into some of the lesser known parties as well.  I'm looking for the best person for the job- not their party affiliation.  \n\nThe saddest part of this tale is that so many people are decieved in the first place- by both major parties, but far more frequently by Democrats.  My wish is that everyone would set aside their preconceptions and actually research what a given politician is saying, check out their voting record on important issues, and make an informed decision based on facts- not hearsay.  \n\nI also agree that war is sometimes a necessary evil.  Anyone who disagrees can ask the opinion of a Jew who survived the concentration camps.\n\nOur current President may not have all the answers, but I do believe he is doing the best job he can given the circumstances, and I don't know anyone Republican or Democrat who can do better than to try.\n\nSo the answer to your question "Why do Democrats sometimes sound confused on political matters" is, because they are.  Democrats are just as human as you, me, Republicans, Independents, Green Party Candidates, and everyone else.  Be careful who you vote for.

wouldn't doubt it.\n\nbut why does everybody assume that only republicans are doing this?  I bet there's way more gaybuttsex happening in the dems side.

I agree that Republicans & Democrats should work together.\nI agree that during wars sometimes a different vision is neccessary - hopefully the change with Rumsfield will do that.\nI agree that the NY Times can not write not recognize the truth.\n\nI think to expect little Nancy to cooperate is laughable - but the veto will help her see that her power is not as great as she thinks.

Yes, Lou Dobbs is a registered Republican.\n\nHowever, Dobbs can (and has) often be misconstrued as a Democrat.  His criticism of the Bush Administrations policies (namely...all of them) has won Dobbs favor among some Democrats.\n\nI happen to be a Democrat, and I think Dobbs is right on a lot of things.  Not everything, but a lot.\n\nI didn't have cable during the Clinton Administration, so I don't know how he treats Democrats, but I get the feeling that if a Democratic President does things that improve the country & makes it work much better, Doubbs would support him as much as a Republican who can do the right thing.\n\nObvoiusly, he DOESN'T think Bush is doing a good job, since you (and myself until recently) thought he was a Democrat.\n\nI think it's nice that so many people have to search on the internet to find his political party.  This means he's not hardcore either way, which is always a good thing.

That's a cool picture, but I somehow doubt the Democrats will call Bush & Co. to account, since there's been so much rhetoric about working together. I only wish the Republicans in Congress had had the same attitude when Clinton was in office.

Copying my answer to another question earlier today...\n\n\nWe are supposed to be on the same team. Whydo people support the abuse of our government system of checks and balances by suggesting the President veto everything?  Why is America great? Probably because of that system of gov't we have which most people seem to want to become unilateral and have one party run everything. Republicans had control of the country, and nothing other than our offensive military action is better than when Dems had control of the presidency. If you are that anti-Democrat, maybe you should sit down and figure out if you are anti-American. Since they have very similar goals to the Repuclicans.  We are all supposed to be on the same team.\n\nBush said that he will work with them to get things done. I think the country needs to always have at least 1 of the three in both parties. The country is best in that formation. Both Republicans and Democrats have bad habits and bad policies. That's where having that system of checks and balances is so important. Every law that will be passes will be Conservative-Democratic or Liberal-Republican. Those are the two best places to have your political views at anyway.\n\nAnd this goes for all of you asking for an impeachment too. That's ridiculous. I don't agree with Bush's views on some things, but he had a GREAT initial response to Iraq and really has good intentions. I'm sick of all of this crap personally. Why do we hate our President in the same fashion that terrorsits do? This will tear our country apart (as it already has been).\n\nEveryone please just get on the same page or acknowledge that the other party has at least some good ideas too.

menifeedave..."queers and baby killers"???  so you are saying that all liberals and/or democrats are queers and baby killers, right?  i just need some conformation on your answer!

No to both.\nLiberals are generally people who view individual liberties as paramount. They also tend to believe in the common good and are generally more open-minded and generous. The democratic party use to adhere to theses thoughts plus they were pro-worker. Liberals tend to run the gamut of political parties and are found in the democratic party more so than in the republican party. The democratic party is not completely made up of liberals. Since the Reagan years many democrats have adopted a neoliberal, pro-corporation "free trade" ideology (Clinton, Biden, Lieberman, etc..) and are anything but liberal. \nI hope this answers your question.

George Bush did it, I am a Democrat. George Bush is a Republican. I am sorry they did that too.
