Don't forget that he was activly involved with Jane Fonda who took a group (Kerry didn't go surprisingly) illigally to Vietnam to see the POWs. The viet-cong paraded the prisoners out to show how "well" they were treated and then Jane's group proceded to insult these prisoners and accuse them of various war crimes to their faces.
Actually most of the polls activly target a certain number of republicans and democrats and independents to balance with amounts that exist in said county. Of so the only way you will see polls differ from registered numbers is from people who are going to vote for another party. In past elections this number was fairly large, its become quite small with the divisions that we now have.
if you look at Kerry's data on the vertical you'll notice that he, Edwards, and Lieberman are the Democrats who most agreed with Republicans on matters.
I'm looking at looking and have you say we must have a difference in how we are interpreting these graphs.
Slightly agree, personally I'm waiting for the Israel pullout of the West Bank, and to see the palastinian reaction. Basically come down to if the palastines act like they have promised they will leave Isreal alone once they have pulled out. If so Kerry is right that we need to stop disrupting these hornets. If they don't and attack with increased vigor, I say Bush was right, nuke the bastards:)
Wasn't a pro-Bush post, wasn't pro anything, does it always have to be for a certain party. Anyways, my point was that many people are voting based on the war on terror and not on domestic policy, so there is a potential for the Kerry to have a major effect when you said he would have little.
Problem with constution party is on one hand they say they want to return all power to the states and let them run their things. Then on the other hand they state that these states must adopt a Republican system (the voting style not the party) or the federal government should lay the smack down on these states that don't. They also imply that abortion and other immoral acts should be illigal in all states, but come just short of saying that the federal government should see to it.
Problem is you get a statement in the mail that tells you your credit card purchases and ATM withdrawls and whatnot, or you can check these online. You can't do this at the voting booth for valid reasons. In fact I have had ATMs error on me and withdrawl money from my account without giving me the money. Its extremly rare, but multiply this by millions of people and the fact that there is no way to go back and verify gives the maker a chance to cheat that it doesn't have with ATMs and such.
I think the problem is that slashdot is using non standard code. But that does constantly amaze me that one of the main supporters of mozilla (and its brothern all of which render the same) doesn't render properly in mozilla. WHATS UP WITH THAT?!:)
Note: This was outgoing blank ballots to voters not incoming. Basically a mass mailout either didn't get delivered or something, but it was all in one truck or something at one point in time.
Lets see, single sided single layer. 4.5GB DVD. this is 2 of them a second (yea rough math, but its about to get rougher) Now lets say with cases (without and this number would be much much bigger) you can stack about a 50 vertically and maybe 150 of these stacks = 7500+4.5GB. 33750 GB you can fit in a station wagon. Lets say your taking this from new york to LA. 2.5 Days approximatly driving flat out without stopping. 225000 seconds 33750GB/225000seconds only.15GB per second Weak. Of course with a shorter distance say 1 hour drive. 33750/3720=9GB per second. Almost competative. So while the bandwidth pay me high, the speed of the network causes you old station wagon to finally be defeated in any distance of reason. Of course we don't even dare mention time to load information on disk, hell its hard to find a computer with a 10GB per second access to its own data.
Then one day I went online and found MP3.com had launched their "digital vault" which (they argued) allowed them to offer ANY music for download to folks. It wasn't just that I thought this to be incredibly stupid and doomed to failure, but more than that it showed this "pioneer" just another ethically clueless money chasing adventure.
I'm sure you heard this before but it only allowed you to download music you proved you already owned. Either way, yes it didn't conform to copyright, but it was in interesting idea, and new ideas deserve to be tried. It failed the legal test, and it died. Oh well. But to say that a company has no right to try something new just because it may be controversal is a bit silly.
Well I'm voting libertarian, but either way I genuinly believe this guy had no problems with the patriot act untill he became a canidate. That is my main problem with this guy, no real convictions. Either way Bush entered the White House with a record of promoting individual freedoms (texas convicts excluded) and ended up changing his views on 9/11. Maybe a little bit overboard, and I certainly agree that the patriot act needs to be revised, but I simply don't see how Kerry would have done anything different had he been in power. Hell I'd give it 50/50 that he would have declared martial law by now.:)
Wanted to note, the reason many hispanics were removed from the felons list is that many of them have the same name, and they could not be sure that they were the right person. Hell I work with similar data in my job, and it gets really difficult to tell if juan martinez really did move around a lot of if its actually 3 or 4 differnt juan martinez's just all with the same birthday.
Wanted to back up what I just said with a good quote from Kerry. Here we go..
"John Kerry stands by his vote for the Patriot Act," says a March 11 campaign statement. "You can sum up the problems with the Patriot Act in two words: John Ashcroft....The real problem with the Patriot Act is not the law, but the abuse of the law."
"I believe in the Patriot Act. We need the things in it that coordinate the FBI and the CIA. We need to be stronger on terrorism."
Combined with all the other quotes in his article, it sounds as if kerry believes law enforcement should have many powers, but they should just be expected to not abuse those powers. Whats going to keep law enforcement from abusing those powers? Nothing, according to all of Kerry's statements.
This is unrealistic, and a complete ignorance of the idea of checks and balances.
Exactly, but I also have the right to not buy the game. And I think thats the point people are making that they disagree with this enough that they arn't buying.
(Obviously I don't have the right to steal it either)

Also it could be semi coded speach, you know a request for a hit is exact the way it was worded. Except well it was to God.
Why dig a hole, when a nuke will work so much better. (I'm being silly now of course)

I totally agree, but also remember that while the President has an indirect control of laws, he has a direct control of our troops.

Sorry thanks, I deserve to be slapped for not noticing that.

Hu? So intelligent people arn't allowed to disagree?
Condorcet sucks because we need strong leaders, not rock stars who can get everyone to like them just enough so that nobody dislikes them.
Combined with Kerrys support for property-forfeiture, and other laws. Yes, I'd say Kerry is worse than Bush on these issues.

Alright moderators, this is supposed to be funny :)
Though if your vote can help that third party get 5% of the vote it helps that party get into later elections and whatnot. Not completly wasted.
