Saw Kerry's speech tonight...

[TheAnvil 0]

...and he looked quite presidential. I disagree with him on most things and would never vote for him - or any other of the Dem candidates this year, but of the folks shown this evening he looked the most presidential by far.

I think Edwards will have his # down south, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Just the imaginative thought of hearing the drone for four years though... Yikes! The guy is to the Dems what Dole was for the Reps in 96.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

An AOL straw poll has Kerry out in front by a majority of states. Dean has one state and Edwards has a few in the south. None of the other canidates were even on the map. Time will tell.

Wow, you almost allowed yourself to partially support a liberal. You have a fever?

Hey, I can handle boring talks right now - just as long as he doesn't tell me on how it is good and right because his god told him so.

I still prefer Edwards, but will be happy with Kerry as well.

Did you see Liberman's speech? "Thanks to the people of NH, we are in a 3-way tie for third place!" (insert mandatory cheers). Yea, he actually said that as a positive thing.

At least Dean didn't go nuts this time, and he even kept his jacket on so he couldn't do that cliche of rolling up his sleeves.

So much for Clark spending weeks in NH trying to get votes. I'm not a fashion guru - but what was up with his tie tonight?

Anyone else notice that the candidates are starting to point again, instead of doing that closed fist with a bit of thumb routine?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes down to it the democratic ticket will be Kerry/Edwards, the result: landslide victory for them.

Landslide victory over the Green party, maybe. Landslide victory over the Republican party, not likely. It doesn't hurt to have dreams though.

hmm, let's just wait and see... i don't think it's all that far fetched...

northern war hero (see purple heart in vietnam) who has fought special interests plus good looking intelligent southern gentleman vs texan war... oh wait, he patrolled texas for 2 days, and wyoming heart attack waiting to happen who are both clearly in the pockets of the top 1/2 of 1% of all americans. Yeah, sounds like a battle to me.

Lets just elect Arnold Schwart.. Shwartzenager(spelling?) so President so we can finally accept that our government is ridiculous no matter which party is in control.

Scotty, I think you've hit it. GWB will win again, I'm fairly certain. Kerry - though he served his country well in Vietnam - has too much baggage in the form of his congressional record even WITHOUT the positions he holds to be a viable candidate against a well run campaign. Also, GWB is giving signals that this next campaign is going to be different from the Republican side of the house. They aren't going to take the typical lies the Dems use lying down or turn the other cheek this time - if I"m reading him correctly from the SOTU and his recent Pickering appointment. This will prove extremely troublesome for the Dems.

Odd how Benny mentions GWB's national guard record vs. Kerry's Vietnam record. One wonders if he held military service in such high regard when Clinton was running against Dole or Bush. Edwards made such a fool of himself in his post-NH speech one wonders how the hell he can win any state populated by voters with three digit IQs. I loved his class warfare lie about the average American carrying the majority of the tax burden. Dammit I just loved that one.

Still waiting for Kerry and John McCain to have a nice discussion about Dewey Canyon. Did Kerry really throw someone else's medals away? Suuuuuuure he did.

As I stated somewhere else, the zero-defect mentality has cost us the services of some fairly talented individuals at all levels of government, so I'm willing to overlook one or two or even three or eight things in a candidate's past as long as their positions make sense and they are straightforward and stand up for what they believe in.

These bozos are on the same stage as Al Sharpton and haven't yet mentioned Tawana Brawley - because they're scared shitless to stand up to a racist within their own party (Sharpton is one of many). Not CinC material. They also slam the current deficit as they propose spending programs that would make it even worse. They bemoan Social Security's current state yet offer no permanent fix and no plan to do anything other than extend the fiasco a few more years. PATHETIC by any standard.

Really Anvil, I have to ask you, what, besides get us into a couple of wars which could have been avoided, has GWB done for our nation? Hmm, incrase deficit spending? rape the environment? Give money back to those who need it the least? What? Come on, name one good thing.

Come on Benny be fair Bush wants to make SS private so people can build their own little nest egg,
(think Neil Bush and Ken Lay and watch your nest egg go away)

so that people who have worked hard all their life can retire with dignity.

Next to being an AFF-I, there's nothing I'd rather be than a Wal-Mart greeter. They tell me that even if I lose my voice/become retarded, I can still use a push button system to say, "welcome to walmart" Ahh, the American dream...

Your liberal slogans are lost on me for a myriad of reasons. I am going to vote for GWB but it's more of voting AGAINST any of the candidates the Dims are running than a vote for Bush himself. Since you chose to throw a few barbs in there, I'll throw them back at you prior to answering your question.

First you claim both wars could have been avoided. I assume you mean Afghanistan and Iraq. If you disagree with the Afghanistan campaign I suggest you read up a bit on foreign policy then get back to me. The Iraqi-centric foreign policy he's taken is very arguable and contentious and not the route I would have chosen, I admit.

Then you go on to note the increase in the deficit. Sorry to see you've never read the constitution, but 'tis the Legislative branch that has the power to appropriate funds. Spending like drunken sailors - not tax cuts - cause deficits. I've faulted Bush for not vetoing ONE SINGLE appropriations bill before and do so again now. However, when Dems talk about this it's hard for me not to laugh hysterically given the massive programs they want to enact (health care?).

Next barb is the environment. Clinton left him the arsenic bomb. The media made fools of themselves with regards to the power plant regulation relaxations (I'm an engineer; hard to lie to me about that when some of my old room-mates work for the power companies and tell me what's going on). What exactly are you referring to here, that's worth noting? See the FOIA lawsuit Landmark Legal filed w/Clinton's EPA if you want some environmental shenanigans worth noting.

Final barb: giving back money to those who need it least. NEWSFLASH: COMMUNISM FAILED. Those who pay more taxes, get more tax relief. Each according to his ability to pay.....straight from Marx/Engels. If you admit to being a commie, more power to you. Just don't expect my vote.

Now you asked for ONE good thing GWB did for the country. I'll give you a couple to chew on:

- led us out of the Clinton/Gore recession.
- gave us a nice tax break (1st package; I don't like the second package and never will)
- stopped giving the North Koreans the extortion fuel/grain for nothing (nuke agreement they cheated on)

He's not a great president (yet) but none of the folks running against him have a clue.

I really don't have that many slogans because I'm not really that big a lib. I do know that afghanistan was necessary/appropriate, Iraq howver is very debatable. Yet we know that before 9/11 Bush et al wanted to invade Iraq.... why?? WMD? Kay says they weren't there.... Oh well... Oil, no we'd never invade a nation for oil......

So how long do you let a little dog nip at your heels before you kick it? Past administrations (read Clinton's) wanted to do kick Saddam's ass too, just did not have the political will to do it... maybe they were distracted by the Chinese, or the blowjobs?

K also said hey thought there were, but that intel has proved faulty... I think his investigation has shown that there was potentially a more dangerous situation... They were seeking bio weapons, but had not yet been able to get there... Saddam thought they had weapons programs, but he was being dupped by his scientists, for money... what else would they do for money, and for whom? And what about the prohibited missile programs?

Was the war about oil? On some levels, sure... stability in that region is important because of oil... should we become less dependent on oil, absolutely. But for some reason the crunchies are opposed to more clean and efficient nuclear power
