I tend to support Democrats because they favor alternate energy sources. Republicans seem bent on increasing our dependence on resources from a politically unstable, religiously backward part of the world and/or trashing America’s wilderness & wildlife to provide us with more SUV juice.

I support Democrats who see the “free market” as a mechanism for balancing supply and demand rather than an as an ideology that sacrifices America’s own workforce to maximize corporate profits.

Why do the biggest advocates of laissez-faire economics in America seem to come from the defense and energy sectors - two industries that are almost entirely dependent on government regulation and intervention?

And I believe that teenagers should be given enough information to make their own choices about their own sexuality rather than the “abstinence only” dogma preached by Republicans. I have no use for homosexuals or gay culture, but I do not consider them the moral equivalent of sodomizers, wife-beaters or sheep abusers.

Nonetheless, it is a shame that the Democrats cannot stuff a sock into the mouths of their own left-wing extremists who make them look like idiots.

How can you possibly agree with the Dummycrats? Name one thing they have proposed that makes any sense. All they do is attack the Bush Administration. They haven’t come come up with anything constructive in 5 years. Anything Bush says, they are against it. Anything! Even if Bush changed his mind and did everything the Dummycrats demanded, they still would be against it.

The Democrats are certainly their own worst enemies. Even when I agree with their policies and ideas, I am astounded at how poorly they bring them across. The same can be said about the German CDU/CSU and the British Conservatives.

“I figure that the real story is hiding out there in the no-man’s land between the various viewpoints.”

I agree with you on that in some ways. Just because I consider myself a conservative, it doesn’t mean that I swallow everything the Republicans give me to eat. There’s always at least two sides to a story. But the side that is portrayed by the Dummycrats is so far away from reality that it is most embarrassing for America. It does a lot of damage. Nothing good can come out of it.

I only follow the “mainstream” press to find out what the official “party line” is on a particular issue. No issue is simple or straighforward enough to be summarized by the sort of newsbytes that these people turn out.

Most of my info comes from websites, many of them rather liberal & left-wing, but also from conservative sites like yours, which I ran across on the “Faithmouse” site. I figure that the real story is hiding out there in the no-man’s land between the various viewpoints.

Maybe you need to do something about all those images that keep popping up in your head. Try staying away from the mainstream press for a view days. That might help.

US soldiers are dying in Iraq because Bush put them there, insisting there was some kind of connection to 9/11. They continue to die there because there is no practical way of getting them out. Neither is there any way we can win.

After phase one of the war in Iraq ended (the easy part - toppling the tinhorn dictator who had no WMD’s and posed no threat to the USA), Bush appeared in his goombah flight suit with a “mission accomplished banner” displayed in the background. We have since moved on to phase II, dealing with the consequences of opening the can of worms.

The image that came to mind was that of Mexican general Santa Ana touring the shattered ruins of the recently conquered Alamo. I wonder if he hung up a “mission accomplished” banner from the parapets.

I haven’t heard anybody come up with a better plan other than pulling out the troops. Since last month we have it in writing that Congress doesn’t want to pull out. Must be all Nazis…

Soldiers are still dying in Iraq for the same reason peple died on 9/11: ruthless terrorists. The war on terrorism won’t be over for a very long time, but the war in Iraq ended just weeks after it began. If the US were still at war with Iraq, people wouldn’t be having elections next week.

If the US won the war in Iraq, why are soldiers still dying there? And even those who support the war in Iraq must be appalled at the inept and almost negligent way that it is being pursued.

You might have been asleep when it happened but the US already won the war in Iraq. It happened fairly quick and was therefore easy to miss.

I don’t know why you compare me, J. Krafzik and Abraham Lincoln to the Nazis but I’m sure you have your reasons.
