Do you really want to equate the individuals who sacrificed their lives and fortunes for the idea of a nation of the free with the bickering and battling religious factions wrangling for 'control' of a democracy in Iraq?(therealUT @ Jul 13 said:I believe it took around 7 years and 2 rebellions to get our own democracy under way.

I suppose you really just wanted to say "it takes time", but comparing our ancestors dream with these folks ongoing infighting is...well.. kinda screwy.eace:
What was beautiful about our own inside struggles was that we had citizens who could see the benefits of a democratic future and articulate them to their peers and the nation as a whole.(therealUT @ Jul 13 said:If you believe that everything was hunky dory in the Colonies and early states, then you are dead wrong!

I am no fan of Bush, he is not near conservative enough for me, but the idea that Clinton only told little lies and a person's moral behavior doesn't have any effect on their leadership abilities is ridiculous.

Bush has taken stands for all of the right issues. He has done a great job protecting marriage between a man and a woman. He is doing something in IRAQ that Clinton did not have the balls to do. He has spent most of his time cleaning up messes left behind by the Clinton administration. Bush is the man!!!(BHAMVOLFAN @ Jul 20 said:I'm an old fashioned Republican and I hate GWB. He is nothing more than a fiscal liberal that panders to fundamentalist Christians for votes. JMO!

The trade deficit is declining. As for immigration and gas prices, Bush's hands are tied. He can't do much if none of our boys in Washington will pass any bills. If they would have let him drill in Alaska, we wouldn't be in this position. There are too many economists crying about global warming. Thats a crock!!!! Save the trees!!! Why do you think we have all of these forest fires in the west?? People used to be able to log trees and underbrush out of there. Too many tree huggers!!! Bush supported legislation to build a fence on the mexican border, but it was voted down. He is bringing democracy to a, thanks to him, free country.(BHAMVOLFAN @ Jul 20 said:Never voted for Kerry. As to the homosexuals, I have no dog in the hunt. My wife takes care of my needs quite well thank you. But at a time when the mid-east is erupting, government debt and trade imbalance are at an all time high and escalating, our borders unsecure, fuel prices skyrocketing, why in the heck are these idiots wasting precious time worrying about the gays...oh, I know, they need the vote.
