Has anyone actually played a multiplayer game online?

1) out of nearly 20,000 proposed amendmenta fewer than 25 have been passed, it is doubtful whether the amendment proposed to allow non-US-born citizens to hold the office will be anywhere by 2008. 2) Under the War Powers Act a president MAY put US forces into combat for a limited period of time before needing any congresisonal approval.

Go Badnarick Go!!!

The Geneva Conventions ARE Guidlines!!! They are specifically written so as to allow the Post-WWII powers to continue unfettered within their own realms. The GCs and the UN were their way of securing the post-war status quo, even if they eventually declined or were eclipsed by other countries. That is why Genocide (the main impetus behind the GCs and the UN) is still so hard to define and act on (even with Rwanda and Sudan as pretty stark examples).

I find it remarkable how idiotic this thread has been.

the simple difference between Lefties and Righties is that LEfties think of everyone and Righties think of themselves. I could go into more detail issue-by-issue, but this overly-simplistic analysis applies pretty well to every issue. Case-in-point: Abortion - in the abortion debate, Lefties may have a problem with abortion (and many do) but we do not try to impose out vies on others because we care about the liberty of people to know their o

This is ridiculous. do you honestly thingk that with bush's garbage-record and Kerry's oratorical skills he needs to cheat (especially after The Village Idiot screwed up the first debate?)

Of course Bush had an enormously high approval rating - he was exploiting September 11th and using fear to get voters to rally around his ill-begotten presidency. Now, with the media not being as afraid of him (do you watch anything other than FOX?) and the TRUTH getting out despite the efforts of Rove and the Bushies it is easy to see how most sensible-minded people are turning away from Dubya... All the above mentioned facts are only the mo

The change to the endorsements is perhaps the most significant quick-fix I could have imagined. There is no way certain candidates should be getting minority support or gun rights support. I think something should be done, eventually, to include a third-party candidate possibility and something reflecting the DEBATES...how could this have been left out?! -D

A president CAN create jobs if the focus of the job creation is narrow and innovative. No president is able to create more manufacturing jobs in the auto industry, per se, but a president could provide research and development funds to push ahead with the hydrogen economy. Like the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Program, an undertaking of this magnitude would creat an entirely new sector of the economy and thus create jobs. Everyone from mechanics

what about third parties?

How do you set up a multiplayer online game? Does anybody want to?

The Libertarian Party has an excellent political quiz at www.lp.org

there is an excellent book about the election of 1912, I think it is actually called "1912". I read it last year, it just came out and it is superb! IT follows the 4, that's right FOUR!, candidates who receieved significant support that year: wilson, Taft, Roosevelt and Debs. The story divides into four sections about each candidate and in the case of the first three, their relationships with one another. I highly recommend it to anyone who is on t

The libertarians are esentially the heirs to Roosevelt's Bull Moose ideals

There is nothing in the constitution which establishes a two-party republic in the United States. The notion of a wasted vote is a falsity - the reasons behind a vote are many and depend on the goals of the voter. Furthermore, anyone who votes Republican in California or New York is "wasting" their votes because with a winner-take-all electoral process nor Republican delegates from those states are elected. The same is true for Deomcratic voters in

The game should be updated to allow alternative parties. Perhaps some could have single-issue or narrower partisan appeal. Libertarians could have very high ratings for civil liberties, pro-choice voters and taxes, but poor showing amongst unions and senior citizens. Greens could have high environmental ranks but could be perceived as weak on national defense, they may have particular strength amongst women and minorities. It could be easy for eac

Third parties have always played a significant role in elections, by raising forgotten issues and forcing the bipartisan political establishment to take more of the electorate into account.
