He's a very strong, great man, but he is certainly aging. He could very well have decided to stick to his Senate post and that the Presidential run isn't worth all the drama when he's that old. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him run - but he's getting up there. And I don't think McCain could have given that beautiful speech at the RNC about someone he hated... |

That's such a John Tyler/Andrew Johnson thing to do (Those whores). No one in their right political mind thought that a Kerry/McCain ticket had a chance to actually happen. Wishful thinking at best. McCain is a poltician and knows how to play the game. Bush, as President, becomes the de facto head of the Republican Party and McCain knows he needs to tread lightly if he wants the ticket in 2008 (which I think he does, age or not). He did witness the bickering between the elder Bush and Bob Dole and probably wants to avoid that. |

First of all, to support someone is to not necessarily support every single thing they say. Second, Bush does not want to "restrict the rights of gay people"; he doesn't want them to get married because it's not being left up to the people, it's being left up to judges with their own agendas.

For GH - I couldn't agree more. Check this out: link PARK SERVICE STICKS WITH BIBLICAL EXPLANATION FOR GRAND CANYON Promised Legal Review on Creationist Book Is Shelved Washington, DC — The Bush Administration has decided that it will stand by its approval for a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah’s flood rather than by geologic forces, according to internal documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Despite telling members of Congress and the public that the legality and appropriateness of the National Park Service offering a creationist book for sale at Grand Canyon museums and bookstores was “under review at the national level by several offices,” no such review took place, according to materials obtained by PEER under the Freedom of Information Act. Instead, the real agency position was expressed by NPS spokesperson Elaine Sevy as quoted in the Baptist Press News: “Now that the book has become quite popular, we don’t want to remove it.” In August of 2003, Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent Joe Alston attempted to block the sale of Grand Canyon: A Different View, by Tom Vail, a book explaining how the park’s central feature developed on a biblical rather than an evolutionary time scale. NPS Headquarters, however, intervened and overruled Alston. To quiet the resulting furor, NPS Chief of Communications David Barna told reporters that there would be a high-level policy review, distributing talking points stating: “We hope to have a final decision in February [2004].” In fact, the promised review never occurred – In late February, Barna crafted a draft letter to concerned members of Congress stating: “We hope to have a final decision on the book in March 2004.” That draft was rewritten in June and finally sent out to Congressional representatives with no completion date for the review at all; NPS Headquarters did not respond to a January 25th memo from its own top geologists charging that sale of the book violated agency policies and undercut its scientific education programs; The Park Service ignored a letter of protest signed by the presidents of seven scientific societies on December 16, 2003. “Promoting creationism in our national parks is just as wrong as promoting it in our public schools,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, “If the Bush Administration is using public resources for pandering to Christian fundamentalists, it should at least have the decency to tell the truth about it.” The creationist book is not the only religious controversy at Grand Canyon National Park. One week prior to the approved sale of Grand Canyon: A Different View, NPS Deputy Director Donald Murphy ordered that bronze plaques bearing Psalm verses be returned and reinstalled at canyon overlooks. Superintendent Alston had removed the bronze plaques on legal advice from Interior Department solicitors. Murphy also wrote a letter of apology to the plaques’ sponsors, the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary. PEER has collected other instances of what it calls the Bush Administration’s “Faith-Based Parks” agenda. |

More lies and incompetence by Bush/Chaney in Iraq link The strongest evidence to date indicates that conventional explosives missing from Iraq's Al-Qaqaa installation disappeared after the United States had taken control of Iraq [while US troops were guarding the Oil Ministry and pipelines]. Barrels inside the Al-Qaqaa facility appear on videotape shot by ABC television affiliate KSTP of St. Paul, Minn., which had a crew embedded with the 101st Airborne Division when it passed through Al-Qaqaa on April 18, 2003 — nine days after Baghdad fell.Experts who have studied the images say the barrels on the tape contain the high explosive HMX, and the U.N. markings on the barrels are clear. "I talked to a former inspector who's a colleague of mine, and he confirmed that, indeed, these pictures look just like what he remembers seeing inside those bunkers," said David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington. The barrels were found inside sealed bunkers, which American soldiers are seen on the videotape cutting through. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency sealed the bunkers where the explosives were kept just before the war began. "The seal's critical," Albright said. "The fact that there's a photo of what looks like an IAEA seal means that what's behind those doors is HMX. They only sealed bunkers that had HMX in them." After the bunkers were opened, the 101st was not ordered to secure the facility. A senior officer told ABC News the division would not have had nearly enough soldiers to do so. It remains unclear how much HMX was at the facility, but what does seem clear is that the U.S. military opened the bunkers at Al-Qaqaa and left them unguarded. Since then, the material has disappeared. |

Still undecided about who to vote for on Tuesday? This is the reality behind pro-war bullshit that we are "fighting them in Iraq so we don't have to fight them in America." What that really means is that Americans don't care how many foreigners get killed so long as they can keep their SUVs. Study: 100,000 Excess Civilian Iraqi Deaths Since War By Patricia Reaney LONDON (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed in violence since the U.S.-led invasion last year, American public health experts have calculated in a report that estimates there were 100,000 "excess deaths" in 18 months. The rise in the death rate was mainly due to violence and much of it was caused by U.S. air strikes on towns and cities. "Making conservative assumptions, we think that about 100,000 excess deaths, or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq," said Les Roberts of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in a report published online by The Lancet medical journal. "The use of air power in areas with lots of civilians appears to be killing a lot of women and children," Roberts told Reuters. The report came just days before the U.S. presidential election in which the Iraq war has been a major issue. Mortality was already high in Iraq before the war because of United Nations sanctions blocking food and medical imports but the researchers described what they found as shocking. The new figures are based on surveys done by the researchers in Iraq in September 2004. They compared Iraqi deaths during 14.6 months before the invasion in March 2003 and the 17.8 months after it by conducting household surveys in randomly selected neighborhoods. Previous estimates based on think tank and media sources put the Iraqi civilian death toll at up to 16,053 and military fatalities as high as 6,370. By comparison about 849 U.S. military were killed in combat or attacks and another 258 died in accidents or incidents not related to fighting, according to the Pentagon. VERY BAD FOR IRAQI CIVILIANS The researchers blamed air strikes for many of the deaths. "What we have evidence of is the use of air power in populated urban areas and the bad consequences of it," Roberts said. Gilbert Burnham, who collaborated on the research, said U.S. military action in Iraq was "very bad for Iraqi civilians." "We were not expecting the level of deaths from violence that we found in this study and we hope this will lead to some serious discussions of how military and political aims can be achieved in a way that is not so detrimental to civilians populations," he told Reuters in an interview. The researchers did 33 cluster surveys of 30 households each, recording the date, circumstances and cause of deaths. They found that the risk of death from violence in the period after the invasion was 58 times higher than before the war. Before the war the major causes of death were heart attacks, chronic disorders and accidents. That changed after the war. Two-thirds of violent deaths in the study were reported in Falluja, the insurgent held city 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad which had been repeatedly hit by U.S. air strikes. "Our results need further verification and should lead to changes to reduce non-combatant deaths from air strikes," Roberts added in the study. Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, said the research which was submitted to the journal earlier this month had been peer-reviewed, edited and fast-tracked for publication because of its importance in the evolving security situation in Iraq. "But these findings also raise questions for those far removed from Iraq -- in the governments of the countries responsible for launching a pre-emptive war," Horton said in an editorial. link |

I don't mean to be mean, but Holly does have some rational arguments with many points which remain to be rebutted, and Sara (is it?) is not doing a good job at explaining her position very well. I'm sure she has her reasons, and that they are all rational, but there is a popular saying here (and I'm sure several places elsewhere) concerning debates, which is "put down the shovel." What I am seeing a lot of, though, on BOTH sides are attacks upon not what people say, but the people themselves (yeah, I am often guilty of this, but I am working on it - just call me a hypocrite)...Come on, we're all friends here, or at least I would like to think so. We are all going to disagree, but a debate should be a friendly way to express your opinions in an intelligent manner. Also, it is very clear to me and I'm sure to many others that Holly is a great debater. This doesn't mean that Holly has better opinions than anyone else, but just a much better ability to argument and expression. That doesn't mean that other people don't have anything to say; they are just not as good at saying it. |

Now, I'll put it in little words so that you can understand: Why... say it with me children... why is it NEC-CESS-ARY (big word, but sound it out and you can do it) to BRING UP THE E-LEC-TION when there are OTH-ER things to COM-PLAIN A-BOUT that BUSH has DONE. BRING-ING UP 2000 MAKES it seem like you have NOTH-ING else on your SIDE. You are a narrow minded annoying little girl.Narrow-minded and annoying? Simply because you share a different view? READ A BOOK. There's a lot of opinions out there, and not all of them are yours. Marriage is a RIGHT. Therefore disallowing marriage is, indeed, "restricting the rights of gay people."KERRY IS AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE, TOO!!!! Why can't you get this through your pea brain?Why don't you get John Kerry's balls out of your mouth for a second and look up what he actually believes? People like you piss me off to no end. You can't even give a real answer as to why you support Bush; you have no facts, just the bullshit propaganda he throws at us.Well people like YOU piss me off to no end. At least [I] I [/I] don't have to generalize and blast everyone who supports Kerry. [I] I [/I] was taught in school to be respectful of others, unlike YOU. And if you'd have been listening instead of calling me narrow-minded, I support Bush because I trust him to protect this country from the threat of terrorism more than I trust Kerry. I could write a disseritation on why I support him, but since you will just scoff at it and call me a dumbass, I'm not wasting my energy when my closing night of the play is tonight. Hmmm... I am one of three Republicans in my cast out of fourteen, but all of THEM were taught manners and don't call me narrow-minded OR a hypocrite. This is because they can 1) read 2) listen to another opinion without busting a ball and 3) make a case without using petty-ass insults against me. Maybe you should talk to them sometime. I'm sure Senator Kerry would not approve of name-calling. |

War is bloody, but the end of a war brings hope, hope that the Iraqis never had when they were being oppressed by Hussein.I fail to see the major difference between then and now. They are still being terrorized, just by a different country. The war could end tomorrow, but Bush insists the US continues, fully knowing they are still killing innocent people daily. And don't say "that's the way war is". Such a pitiful attempt at rationalization is only defering from the problem at hand. Face it, the war on terrorism is unbeatable while involving only the military. Terrorism will never end, unless you communicate properly with the opposing force. Kerry is promoting such non-violent ways of solving this problem. But in the last debate, Bush used complete double-talk in saying Kerry's plan for fighting terrorism in Iraq is to withdraw. He then said, "how can you win the war if the troops aren't there?" Bush knows exactly the kind of crowd he's playing to: lifelong conservatives whose levels of cognitive development are still at stage one. Dubya is no idiot in that sense. To war-obsessed Americans who have bought into Bush's scare tactics, which is a good percentage of them, war is the only answer. To truly compassion-literate Americans, war is not the answer.

"Why don't you get John Kerry's balls out of your mouth for a second..." is quite funny but it's hardly respectful. Still, I suppose that's what passes for "respect" among Republicans these days.

While it's true that both Bush and Kerry don't agree with making gay marriage legal nationwide, at least Kerry is willing to give every state the right to choose whether they want legalize gay marriage or not. Bush on the other side has definitely crossed the line by trying to put a constitutional ban on gay marriage. I guess Bush thinks that giving a homosexual couple the right to marriage is far more threatening than allowing people to use guns. |

Sir GH, most of this is in fact about what is happening now and what each candidate would do in the future given a particular situation, but you have to look at how each candidate reacted in past situations to gauge how he will react in future situations. Perhaps you (to the reader, not Sir GH) are dissatisfied with Bush's performance; then give a reason why Kerry's performance would have been better. Do not try to take Kerry's side based on the randomly possible chance that he may have done a better job. A lot of the arguments here are all "Bush is bad because..." rather than "Kerry is good because...". "Bush is bad because..., and Kerry would probably be better because he would have reacted differently..." doesn't cut it. You need "Bush is bad because..., and Kerry is good because..." using the same issue. Remember...don't attack on cross what was not brought up in direct in the same argument. |

Even if things had gone more Kerry's way, Bush would have done something, anything to fix this election. Just look at all the fraud that went on. |

That makes no sense. Even in the slightest chance that you might be remotely correct, it is an assumption with no grounds. |

I still think that he never should have been appointed President in the first place, but I'm not going to try to run John Kerry's life for him. If he wants to concede for the sakes of our sanity, bully for him. 12 of the Kerry volunteers at school, including me, dressed in all black today. The Supreme Court is headed straight to hell. |

MusicMan, I will definitely keep your wisdom in mind in the future. All I can say in this matter is, this political divide needs to go. One side needs to understand the other, without prejudices. Without that first step, this divide is going nowhere. |
