It is ironic that the man who got rich by tastelessly suing decent, honest, innocent, hardworking doctors now needs their help for his wife.

QuoteHalliburton made millions in illegal deals with Iraq and that didn't stop us from invading.
When does Cheney go on trial for this?

All I can think of are those tasteless comments she made about Cheney, his wife and their daughter.
Never believed in karma and irony. Maybe I should reconsider.

QuoteWhy did HE even mention it to begin with?
That was explained. Re-read and it may become clear. PM if you still can't follow.

QuoteDon't really give a damn what color or race they are - they're qualified for the positions and have earned GWB's trust/respect.
Absolutely. Some people just can't grasp the concept that a man who may be the best candidate for the position would also be a huge advantage in regards of votes for the next election from the blacks.
Usually it's the liberals that will jump all over that claiming he was appointed just because he's black. Some people can't see that he deserves that position regardless of his color.

Completely false. Yes, Quade...it is possible for something to have multiple advantages.

QuoteWe, the People, should get the best person for the job, not just somebody that would be a token for a specific voting block.
Hate to break it to you but it's possible for Thompson to be the best candidate and be huge for the black vote.
Wow, what a concept!

QuoteI voted different parties for congress and President.
And you also said the following.....QuoteTurn out is huge and that is hugely in his favor.
QuoteNo need. Kerry will win, in a landslide, period. There's no doubt about it.

Bush won. Time to move on.

Well I have it narrowed down to 3
Assuming Ashcroft does indeed resign you can bank that his replacement will come from one of these three. I did some brainstrming today and these are the people I am positive the next AG will come from.
- Larry Thompson
- Rudy Giuliani
- Alberto Gonzalez
If a gun was to my head and I had to pick one I would go with Thompson. Would be absolutely huge for the black vote.
Rudy is a close second for obvious reasons. Would also be a nice arena to vault into the 08 election.
Gonzalez would be phenominal for the hispanic people but I hear rumors that he is hoping for a Supreme Court seat. We'll see.

Quotewith all that GWB only made 51:48 - pretty pittyful.
You consider being the first man to win the majority since 88 pitiful?
Wow. Not sure I see the logic in that. Clinton never won the majority. Bush did.

You're absolutely right. America is not buying the liberal mindset and beliefs. Those may work in another country but not mine. America sides with decency, honesty and good morals.
I said it once and I'll say it again...It's time the libs take a long, hard, deep look at themselves and their political agenda. America isn't buying into it. Don't believe me? Pick up a paper and you'll see Bush won and the republicans now control the Senate, House and will decide possibly up to 3 Supreme Court Justices.

Quotebut it -was- gamesmanship and it worked.
Nope. It was him being honest with his beliefs despite what anyone else thought. He said what was on his mind and how he felt. In the end America appreciates that and respects it...despite wether or not they agree with it.
This is something Kerry could not do. He tried to be everyone's candidate. He tried to be on both sides of every issue in a desperate attempt to win everyone's support.
America saw right through it.
Good people. Decent people. Hard-working people. This is who America wants. That is who America got.

QuoteI read one post reply and it was like reading them all
How do you know it was like reading all of the posts if you only read one?
Seems to me that defys some sort of basic logic.

QuoteGWB was only a few percentage points from losing to this guy
You can spin it a hundred different ways. For instance, I could say...
- GWB was the first man to win the majority vote since 88...something Clinton could never do.
- GWB won by over 3.5 million votes.
Bottom line your man lost because of what I mentioned in the above. LawRocket touched on a good point as well. He couldn't connect with the regular, everyday people. You know...the heartland of America.
America doesn't want the Ted Kennedy and Michael Moores...they want good, decent, hard-working, honest people...just like the man that was elected on the 2nd of this month.

QuoteIt's simpler than that: Kerry was left of Ted and that's left.
This is another great point. You have the most liberal person in the Senate (Kerry) standing next to his running mate who is probably the 2nd most liberal man in the Senate (Edwards) and you have Ted Kennedy standing behind them giving his complete support.
That is not the kind of people the American heartland want. That is not what America stands for.

There were a few reasons as to why Kerry lost his attempt at becoming POTUS. Some are obviously more important than others but in the end they all added up to his demise at his goal at being our president. Here are a few.
Flip Flops
This phrase was used almost on a daily basis to describe Kerry and rightfully so. Instead of coming out and saying what he believed in he tried to be everyones candidate. The American people saw right through it. Americans want a man who will come out and say, "You may not agree with everything I stand for but you will always, without a doubt know where I stand on every issue." That, my friends, is what the US wants in a POTUS. Quit trying to be something you're not and just show us who you are and what you believe in and stand for.
Tereza Heinz Kerry
What can be said of Cruella De Ville. When we think of first ladies we think of our own mothers...women like Laura Bush, Nancy Regan, Barbara Bush, etc... Somehow THK just doesn't fit that mold. She is snobish, rude, conceited, arrogant and just a shallow person in general. You can pick any of a hundred of her tasteless comments during the campaign that shows you what kind of person TKH is.
Vietnam
Forget wether or not his medals were legitiment or not. Nevermind the fact he lied about his PHs just to go home early. What hurt Kerry tremendously was the fact that he came back home and betrayed his fellow soldiers who were fighting bravely in a ferocious war. He showed his true colors in all of our eyes. He is not a man of dedication. He is a man who does not possess the word "loyalty" in his vocabulary. Not who I want as POTUS. I want a man who will stand up and support his men and not betray them when the going gets tough. Kerry showed us he has no character.
Media
I feel the American people are finally realizing the media is extremely biased towards the left. CBS and their dispicable forged documents finally showed Americans that the media despises republicans and will stop at nothing to bring that said candidates POTUS down. In the 2004 election the media's relentless bashing of Bush ultimately backfired in the end.
Just simply...a bad person
Sounds too simple and silly to be true but in the end that is exactly what Kerry is. He was too negative in everything he said, unclear on his plan to win the war in Iraq, no idea on his economic agenda and countless other uncertainties.
In the end, when the American heartland went into that booth they knew who would be the candidate best qualified to lead them. They knew who had decent morals, common sense and a purpose. In the end we Americans are too good of people to pull the lever for someone like Kerry.
When I look at Bush I see a man. A leader. I see one of us. I see a hard working man who genuinely cares about me and my fellow Americans. I see dedication. I see loyalty. I see someone who reads like an open book. You can ask me anything regarding his stances on any issue and I could almost certainly tell you where he stands. Is he the best speaker? Is he fluently spoken and tongued? No. But you know what? He cares about me. He cares about you. He cares about every citizen of these great 50 states. He leads from the front.
GWB is a person I am proud of. He is a man. He is a leader. And most of all...he is my president.

QuoteThey are no more educated then the general population is.
Should have used the word, "than" instead of "then".
Funny you used the wrong form of a word when referring to the education of the general population.

Depends on the situation.
Depends on the person.
No clue. Haven't polled all of them.
That is correct.
Never done that yet in my life.
