Deference

It's in today's print edition. I don't know about the online bit. If I can track down the paper again, I'll get you the page number and who wrote the article.

And where did you get *this* information? That information came from the Kansas City Star, reporting on the Army Times poll.

Next thing we know, we'll be another ten years down the road, and a new Republican admin. will try to say they are going to remove another "brutal dictator" from Iraq. Make a problem, "solve" the problem. It's so easy...

You forgot to mention that only 35% of all polled claimed they were Democrats. Come on, Lee.

“Bush had more substance,” a fellow blogger declared, “He won the debate.” “You are also the only other person besides President Bush and Iyad Allawi that thinks things are going swimmingly in Iraq. “ I retorted, ”Bumper sticker slogans and tired Rovian rhetoric does not for substance make.” After more exchange, it beca

Great quotes, if you haven't already, you should check out "Losing America, Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency" by Robert Byrd.

Kerry's tax increase would effectively eat up most of the salary of one of our IT people. So those who use the site would have to start paying a modest monthly fee to make up the difference. Didn't you touch on this subject before, a while back? You wouldn't happen to have a link to it would you?

What I like is that there are some people that still adamently proclaim there are WMD's and that Iraq is going swimmingly, come on guys, where are you?

Damn! Did anyone see the numbers in "who won the debate"? What a poignant illustration of denial. I wonder how many of those that clicked on "Bush" would actually be able to stand up in a room full of people and honestly say their candidate won the debate. What a crock!

You don't believe that. Or, wait, that was a joke...That was a joke!

That may be true in regards to the "lost cause", time usually gives us that answer, no matter what we wish. We can support our troops and veterans, but we do not always have to support the reasons they are being forced to sacrifice their lives.

It is important we have some world council, the UN may be faulted, but we should mend not end.

It has been asserted that somehow, questioning our civilian government decisions with what to do with the military somehow render our servicemen less successfull. I really believe that to be quite questionable, but many people have bought in to it. The things is, and you vets know this, when you're told to jump, you ask how high, when you are a soldier, the civilian concessions have no bearing on you, you have a new burden, the rucksack on your back

I think it is gutsy and patriotic to serve your country and speak out against what you believe to be mistakes your country made. In fact, some would say it is a duty to participate actively in your government since this is one "of the people, for the people".

What I like to see is that no one has really said that the Iraq war is actually positive in any fashion. Positive meaning that we Americans are gaining valuable from this venture. All I see are body bags and money shredding. The only people I hear from that say Iraq is just fine is Bush and Allawi. Yet, many people at these forums seemingly defend the war on Iraq and almost seem to brandish it as a shini

Good stuff, I agree wholeheartedly, you score an insightful.

Very good, though I'm waiting for some hothead to cry "Conspiracy theorist!"

Well done. Vote Change.

Good astute analysis.

If you do Dems then you have to give Reps the *same* options NOT do it is the same as throwing out a filled in card. In most states in the union what your doing is illegal. I'm not sure about MO, but in CA you'd go to jail! No, not illegal, the option is always present, and I have registered a few Bush supporters (mostly friends), but when I ask who the person is voting for and they say "Bush"while staring at my Kerry button, they often

I think the actual election will shock some conservatives. Democrats are mobilized for this election. Last year's student democrats at CMSU numbered twelve out of a campus population of a few thousand. This year there are over sixty that are consistently showing to every meeting. These people are volunteering for canvassing, voter drives, phonebanking, etc. etc. . The Democratic headquarters here in town is also lit up by volunteers till six offi

Instead of being, well, yourselves, it seems like you would cut Brad some slack, acknowledge that he is being damn fair about the debates, and have a reasonable discussion. Instead, you just do what you always do, start a Liberal feeding frenzy, take advantage of any consideration, and take the blog as far off topic as possible. Actually, the line you quoted me as saying was in reference to

Tell that to the families of the thousands of victims whose bodies were found in the mass graves discovered since the invasion. The Iraqi's have had all the fun, now it's our turn, let's get that American body count up! Makes sense, right?

I'm voting for change, since Kerry is the most viable of the competition, he gets my vote.

There it is, box 13. Interesting. When I do my voter drive here in MO, I simply wear my Kerry button and the first question I ask when someone answers their door is, "Do you plan to vote for John Kerry this year?", if the answer is yes, then I ask if they are registered to vote, if they aren't registered, then I make sure to supply them with a card, get it filled out, then personally drop it by the county c
