Calling all Democrats!
 
I know it's early, but MoveOn.org is having a Democratic Presidential Primary online. I think it's only today, but it might last all week...

Go to http://www.moveonpac.org to register, look at the candidates, see what they have to say, and then vote! There are also links to sites to provide support for the Candidate you support.

Um, that is all fine, except, as stated above, Condeleeza Rice is Bush's right-hand person.

So, let me get this straight. The rules are only there for when it is convenient for you? Sounds like a democrat.

(Example: FDR wanted his new deal. The Supreme Court ruled huge portions of it unconstitutional. Instead of changing the new deal, he tried to stack the court with liberal judges.)

You gotta know ALL the Republicans are lurking and ready to POUNCE when the time is right!

My honest hope is that Ralph DOES get the nomination! (hee-hee-hee)

Get the kids and the dogs, its time to go burn a flag for Johnny boy!


Wow. That is all I can say. I am working on the John Edwards campaign and we are NOT burning any flags. I am somewhat offended by that, but hey.... I can take it as much as I can dish it :)

I am a VERY PROUD Democrat. Always have been and always will be. I however respect all political backgrounds and even our President (past and present). I just wish others would do the same.

FiReKraCkEr 06-24-2003 11:35 PM

Hey, chill out. Sheesh, I honestly don't mind those who have no respect for Clinton or Edwards. Actually, I don't care. The important thing it that I DO care, and that's all that matters for me anyways. :)

I am a Southerner, I hear what you said ALL the time. I'm used to it. It's not like I haven't heard it before. However, you were very funny :) I swear I am the ONLY Democrat girl I know down here. Besides Tipper, of course :)


This is directed to all of you:

..... If I wanted to support a person who is a cross dressing, mudwrestling, beer bellied, alchoholic, crack smoking, yoga instructor....then that's my choice. That's why I love being an American.

There's me! And my entire family! :D Well, I'm not so much a Democrat as I am a liberal feminist (yes, I will wear both of those labels as proudly as the Republicans on this board are doing for their affiliations!) who will vote for anyone who I feel has my best interests at stake. I have no problem with voting regardless of party lines--I supported the Chafees of RI, who are Republicans (but ones who actually respect the environment), vote for Dems in Florida, and am proud to say I voted my conscience in 2000! :D

Sistermadly, here's hoping Ralphie will run again! The book about his campaign is really good--a dry, boring read, but contains enough information to shut up the naysayers.

GeekyPenguin 06-25-2003 02:30 AM

All I know so far is that I really don't like Howard Dean. I'm personally excited for the mayoral election in Milwaukee in 2004, and excited that I will be doing an internship in DC right before the election.

And keep slinging the Republicrap around - I grew up, and am back in, the 2nd most Republicrappy county in this fabulous country. I've heard it all before.

Hi. Thought about it, and it still makes no sense.

For some, the act of burning (or otherwise desecrating) a flag is an expression of distress . It doesn't just mean that you disagree with what America stands for - it means that as an American citizen your right to peaceful protest that doesn't hurt anyone else is safeguarded -- even if that protest is against everything I personally stand for.

Take it from me -- every time I see a man in front of an abortion clinic holding up a sign that calls women "d*kes" or "baby killers", I want to clock him one, but I don't, because he has a right to express his opinion, just as I have a right to hang a flag upside down or use it to roast marshmallows if I see fit.

But then, I'm just one of those liberal feminists who are ruining this country.

Yeah, I read it a little while ago. He's an amazingly intelligent man, but unfortunately, the country isn't ready for most of his political ideas (although we have him to thank for emissions tests and forcing automobile manufacturers into making safer cars).

You don't have to be offended that you are supporting a man who supports such things. It is your choice after all.

And I am sorry, but I have ZERO...make that NEGATIVE ZERO respect for Bill Clinton -- anyone who got hummers while sitting at his cushy oval office desk that MY taxes paid for, has no respect for himself or this country. And to tell a blatant lie which he was later caught in regarding the sexual act (or lack thereof since he said he didn't do it), makes my respect-o-meter completely crash. He was an insult to this country, and enjoyed the economy that was set in place BEFORE he became President. He was just a moocher -- getting smooched on his little mooch.

Let me know what time the grill gets fired up and mamma-n-'em will be on over after they finish up at the Wal-Marts...

The1calledTKE 06-25-2003 09:06 AM

Hmm who is better a president that has oral sex with a woman other than his wife and lies about it or a president that used to be a coke head and alcoholic that only barely got by in college?

Neither of them are great but of course republican will say Bill is worse because they are republicans. What Bill did is between him and his wife. No Mr. former drugie is now fighting a war on drugs that he used to take. Hypocritcal wouldn't you say.

Oh yah the war. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? First, it is they have it, then its we haven't found them yet , but will. Now its they probably destroyed them before the war, but we will find the documents. Nothing at all as of yet, because if there was it would be plastered all over Fox news. Yes it is good we got Sadamn out of office but that wasn't the main reason for the war. No even some Republicans are not sure the 200+ american lives were worth it.

Ok, and if you Rebulicans want to support a guy that lies so we can go to war to make himself look better in the polls and pulls us out of enviormental treaties because big buisness wants them to, go ahead. I mean its only the enviroment who cares its all easly replacebale right ? :rolleyes: Least we can get some cheap gas out of it!

Ummm... The good economy that clinton had was from the effects of what G.H.W. Bush did as President. What happens to the economy during the first about half year to year can't be controlled by the president in power. It is set up by the previous president. Thus the recession we went into at the beginning of G.W's term was set up by Clinton. Think about it for a minute. You can ask almost any economist and they will agree that Hoover wasn't at fault for the depression, he was just in office. It was too soon into his presidency for him to really effect the economy. So Clinton was given a good economy, squandered it and handed off a bad economy. Simple logic here folks.


oh yeah and also who's party name is relevent in our nation. Republican is not Democratic. We do NOT live in a democrocy people, we live in a Republic. We do not vote on every single thing that needs to be decided we elect representatives of the people to vote for us. Thus making the U.S.ofA. a Republic.

Party name relevent? Boy are you are just tring to dig for something to argue about. lol

Oh yah the nearly 8 years of good economy was because of the elder Bush even though he was only in office for 4 years. And who's fault was it the economy got bad during Bush? Can't blame Carter thats to far back beside the economy was pretty good during Regan's reign. And even if Clinton was the reason the economy went bad(which I will never believe) W has done nothing to improve it. Oh he was so convinced his tax cuts would help, but the economy just got worse. Maybe the newest tax cuts will make it even worse. But hey he can start another war to make him popular.;)

PSK480 06-25-2003 12:07 PM

You can blame this war on W if you want, but, this war was been brewing since the end of the first Gulf War. We have been in a state of continued military action with Iraq since they invaded Kuwait and we liberated them. What about Kosovo? Or maybe the former Yugoslavia when we went in there and took out leaders and played peacekeepers? But, that of course was a Democrat so it was alright. I'm not saying Reaganomics worked. For the most part they didn't except in helping us win the cold war. The tax cut will work if people spend it like the president suggested. Put it back into the economy, don't just toss it in the bank and let it sit there forever. Buy stuff support American goods.

xo_kathy 06-25-2003 12:10 PM

How can we not put it in the bank and try to save it?!? Tell that to my boyfriend who has 20 years experience in his field and an Ivy League degree but who has been laid off since LAST July because there are NO JOBS!!!!!

The1calledTKE 06-25-2003 12:11 PM

Acutally I thought we should have stayed out of Yugoslavia and Somilia. The US gets to entangled in others affairs. If the UN ok's it send some troups but not a ton just because we are a super power. The only action as of late I have supported was Afganistan. We had justifaction on that one because we were attacked.

So you mean to tell me that Bush Sr. left office with the U.S. having a great economy? That he left Clinton in such a position?

That's funny considering many political analysts consider the biggest downfall to running for his second term was how the economy was damaged during his term.

Actually, when Clinton left office, the economy was still in pretty good shape.

Simple logic is the events surrounding 9/11 - that was damaging to our economy as we still see those effects today. True, Bush couldn't control that, then again going to war (which hasn't boosted our economy much) while cutting taxes might not have been the best move.

As national debt rises.......
