"Liberal" Hillary Clinton is for permanent stay in Iraq, after all the smoke that was blown up the peoples butts about getting us out of there?
"Conservative" Rudy Giuliani is for partial-birth abortions after all the smoke that was blown from the GOP's on that topic?
I mean, I'm all for getting rid of all the party labels and getting us back to "One Nation Under God" ,but man they sure picked some monster issues to flop on...Didn't they?

You aren't very swift on the getting back to what we are department.
Lets see, now, borrowing the title, The Greatest generation", which was those Americans born just before and growing up during the great depression. They learned and recited that pledge as,
"....one nation, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all...."
not as you want it to be,
"one nation, under god....".
Then they went off and lasted through that terrible world war with those sentaments they learned as children and continued to say "indivisable" rather than "under god", even after. I think they did pretty damned well without the "god pledge", just believing in this nation, indivisable, don't you? They did a hell of a lot better than we are getting now from the righwing christian fanatics, to say the least.
You need to pay more attention to the Constitution than to your republican talking points:
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establisment of a religion...".
I want my country to be my country because it is what it is. I certainly don't want it turned over to a bunch of fanatics of the type that tortured Galileo for understanding they were wrong.

Nah, he doesn't do that anymore. His girls prolly took care of it for him.
It is true though that political leaders are starting to stray from party lines. I like that personally and hope it starts happening more often.
All this 'Demon'crat versus 'Repugnant'can is only polarizing an already difficult job. If more members start crossing party lines I think it's more likely moderate voices will hold weight across the board.
Perhaps that is one gift that Bush will end up giving us. Making everyone so PO'd at the infighting and trickery that'll they will start voting their conscious instead of obeying orders.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to get back to that???

I think it is way too early to be even suggestiong that ANY so called candidate has the likelyhood of being the candidate.
Anyone that is convinced otherwise must be about 15 years old and never actually witnessed a presidential campaign before.
Also, anyone that believes the nevative hype being thrown around about any candidate at this time must have already been biased against that person anyway. That is normal and presents no true movement of the people, just the already biased, who, of course, aren't being moved, just rigid and non-thinking.

i have never been able to find any statistics that were published by a reliable source on partial birth abortions...
70-75% of Americans want reasonable limits on abortions.
the fact is? the GOP congress and Bush intentionally crafted bills that could not pass constittutional muster JUST to get the activists all riled up...
sadly? Bush and the GOP's CAUSED more abortions to be allowed by passing an (intentionally) unconstitutional law just to score political points.. sick ain't it?
