Deference

Well done, Steve! Sometimes this type of thing has to be spelled out for some...

Pounding on Bush???? What debate were you watching? Kerry is the one who did the flip-flop in the *middle* of the debate. Not GW. Yeah, I saw that. I also saw how Bush failed to answer the first few questions, bungled his way through the entire debate, and had nothing new or of substance to offer. Perhaps you didn't pick up on some of the more subtle gains in the debate Kerry made, maybe I should get a transcript and make a list for y

Deference, I think you're borderline delusional. Edging Bush in the debate will help but not to the extent you're imagining Draginol, I'm surprised at you, whipping out the ad hominen attack so desperately. I'm not nearly as close to delusional as I am actually vindicated . Kerry pounding on Bush in an effective manner shows strength in his position and the lack of it in Mr. Bush's. Once this really sinks in with the pub

Bush smelled like a turd on fire. We elected this guy? ..wait....no..we didn't!

I'm feeling so incredibly vindicated today. Down with Patriot Act!!! I'd like to tell any P.A. supporters to officially kiss my @SS! ...but I won't do that....

Dear God, Kerry supporters have been waiting for the other shoe to drop since the dem. primaries and did it ever. Not only did Kerry give Bush a sound drubbing, he managed to do so with grace and even managed a small bid to seize the national security issue from Bush. Bush responded with the same tired Rovian rhetoric that paled in the face of Kerry homework and manuever. For those feeling that Bush won the debate, there is also a sensation t

McCain!

I see.

I thought the goal of a "peacekeeping force" was to stand around with guns and be in the general region in case somebody wanted to start trouble. It may sound like an over-simplification, but I don't think the rest of the UN b.s. comes in to play here...

The UN serves a purpose and a valuable one. To have no conference of nations would be nonsensical in today's world. Sure, there are problems, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

SOD Rumsfield has stated that he doesn't believe in a draft. I wouldn't be surprised if what actually occurred is some dumbsh*t in congress proposing a mandatory tour of duty for all High School graduates similar to the model in Germany. ..

Control has been handed over to the Iraqis, has it not? Well, let's let them take care of their country. We can let them rebuild their own infrastructure which will create jobs for the people. This will give them something to do besides get into religious war with each other. The money can come from aid or IMF / World bank, whatever. As part of the condition of funds, they should have to build x amount of

Go get 'em, drmiler!

You anti-bush mongers are practically foaming at the mouth. Maybe, just maybe it is because of some tremendously poor policy decisions. Enough to make a conservative republican who helped vote him in want to knock on doors to vote him out.

Well done, blogic, and a good plan. Let's hope some are willing to listen.

and why does James Carville not count the MAN was a good campaigner Yes, the rat-faced bald man is good, but Karl Rove is THE MAN.

The main issues ARE gun control and abortion! I wholeheartedly disagree. The standard I was going by were the issues the U.S. populace at large might feel are the most important. Sorry, if gun rights and abortion were the hot topics this year, that would most probably be the hotly contested issues being fought over by the candidates. That isn't what they've been fighting over, however, i

Good follow up.

Actually, it would be the University of Texas LONGHORNS sign. BS it's the Texas Aggies sign! I'm not trying to substantiate anything here guys, but, the picture of him in the purple and black, is that an academic event or is he sitting with the choir?

Yeah! Drag away those unpatriotic dissenters, they don't have any babies left to fight for us, so they're worthless anyway!

Drmiller, being in the military, you should be familiar with the phrase, "setting yourself up for failure".

Kerry will drive this point home in the debates, sending the Bush house of cards crashing to the ground.

There is some hardcore "liberal-itis" in most halls of academia and the higher up in prestige one goes, the worse it gets. This is detailed in a book called, "Fall of the Ivory Tower". It was a while ago when I read it, so I would have to hunt for the author's name, but he was the president of a campus at one point and had a huge amount to say about this. I remember in the '90's being a conserv

I've met Kerry twice. He seems to me a warm person, but one who is serious about what he is doing and collected enough to stay calm in the midst of mobs or, even, wars.
