I think you've been listening to Rush talk about Kerry. Kerry is simply not as far left as the right makes him out to be. Most of the record examination they do involves a lot of enron style creative accounting. Its all exactly like the whole "voting against funding our troops in Iraq" fiasco. He voted for it when it meant taxing the wealthy, not adding to our debt.
Wanna see a real democrat? Take a look at Feingold....you know, the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act.
You think Kerry is far left? He won the nomination for being the most moderate candidate! Most democrats prefer Dean's record.
At any rate, at least vote for Kerry for these reasons - Bush without a worry towards re-election would be scarier than anything we've seen, and the congress is already GOP controlled. All a democratic president will do is be at loggerheads with the congress.
Put Reagan on the $20? Because he defeated communism???
I just don't understand how people could see communism as a long term threat against the US.
Its a broken economic system! It can't be a threat long term because it will fail by itself!...and that is exactly what happened.
Yes, the USSR fell during Reagan's term in office. It also failed while I was in college. The fall of communism has as much to do with my college education as it does Reagan's term in office.
Like other Disney products styled by Frog, the design firm behind the original Macintosh SE, the model sports rounded edges, big buttons and soothing colors.
Ouch. Maybe they took a few design cues from... the Macintosh 128k, the Macintosh 512k, the Macintosh Plus?....and yes, all us mac users really appreciate the comparisons between our computers and disney toys.

I find it hard to believe that the portion of our government which kills and destroys - our military - has the lowest burden of proof in the bureaucracy.
Don't dozens of countries meet the criteria Iraq did? Might be hostile, might have weapons...and then there's North Korea. We KNOW they have a nuclear program but we haven't invaded yet. So what are the standards for bringing military action?
Not to mention the negative effect the war has had. The out of control costs, spreading our military thinly, thousands dying for negligible benefit, a weakened gas supply.
The only benefit from any of this has been the ousting of Saddam. I'll believe this is a benefit once Iraq has a stable democracy. (You know, like we've given so many countries is South America)
I agree with your sentiment "let's give someone else a chance." Yes, indeed, how about a Libertarian or a Constitutionalist?
If you can show me a candidate that has a chance at winning, I'll vote for him. Otherwise, at best its like not voting, at worst, its like voting for your enemy. (Because you haven't voted for an opponent with a chance of winning.)
I don't see how people can accuse Kerry as being as misguided as Bush, but I'll let go of that for now. We've seen how corrupt Bush is - do we want to reward that with a re-election?
I think we have the same goals here. But government moves slowly. If you're too far on the outside, its exceedingly rare that you get the control you're looking for.
Current information indicates that Americans weren't "mislead", as that implies deceit.
Does that mean its okay to lead a country to war if...you don't have your information together....because it would be really really hard? "We'll totally have the evidence AFTER the war..."
Lets face it, the president went to war without having a solid case. If he would have asked so much as "What WMDs do they have?" there would have been no answer and we wouldn't have gone in.

Maybe much of the country thought Clinton was corrupt - and what was it over? A blow job! Is this comparable to failing to justify war?
Also, don't forget how close that vote was. Gore won the popular vote. We're a divided country, "we" didn't really choose one way or the other.
The problem with 3rd party politics is that if you choose the party that best suits you, you may lose to a united enemy. If nader voters had voted gore, bush would have lost. Do you really want another 4 years of Bush? Maybe you don't think Kerry is better, but we've seen what Bush will do, lets give someone else a chance.
And the jury is still out on the "misleading Americans into war" and the evidence currently points to the war being the best call on the information currently available.
What jury are we going by? It seems that much of the government has admitted to extremely poor intelligence on the matter. Also, you must prove a case for war with solid evidence. You can run around invading countries because you can't prove they don't have large weapon systems until you sieve every grain of sand.
that ram is going to make a huge difference. 512 meg is basically the minimum for mac os x. you'll definitely want more if you're emulating another system inside that.
also, i've experienced better speeds with windows 2k.
I'm going to be a sucker to take on your sig as well.
If nader wouldn't have been an option in the last election, Gore would have been president. Instead, Bush was. Did the country move in the direction you wanted it to?
Politics is all about compromise. No Kerry isn't the ideal candidate, but he's a lot better than Bush.

i wouldn't recommend panther to you for any flashy new features. i'd recommend it because its overall faster and smoother. thats probably not something you're going to get a feel for poking around at CompUSA. if you're going to buy it, buy it now, you won't be disappointed. oh, and i have used it on a powerbook 550....and its fast.
This is however proof that there were WMD found in Iraq.
Sorry, nope, you're wrong. If this was the case, why wouldn't W Bush be screaming this from every street corner?
How long are you going to keep looking for justification for this war? War should be simple to justify. Bush has switched his justification which I believe to be a morally objectionable thing to do. I'm sure you're going to try to help re-elect a world leader that can't do this simple thing. Hell, not even Ron Reagan likes this guy because of how his religious beliefs get in the way of scientific progress.
Strangely, that matches my experience trying to order DSL from Verizon. Then again, most people's experiences ordering DSL from a 3rd party is quite the opposite.

Yes, the same way the modern right kills abortion doctors.

its been stated many times that if you give the voter a record of who they voted for then they can use it to get a kickback.
at some level you need to keep separate the information of who voted and who they voted for
