yes but I'm also fed up with "maria cantwell approved of this ad", she must have more money as I am sick of seeing her. then the proposition ones
Basically I can't wait till this election is over and we stop seeing flyers, signs in gardens and streets and non stop ads

Silly Sod

Dick DeVos is worse. It is only a matter of time before Ted Haggard is in the White house and then a matter of time before we see headlines saying - I did not have sexual relations with that man. And I didn't inhale the methamphetamine either. As god is my witness!!!!

I think he's got more business acumen than Granholm though to be honest, and lets face it, Michigan needs someone with a bit of Business sense right now.

I think it's coming back around full circle. You're thinking of the 80's and the 90's when it really was difficult to tell the difference between the parties.

Perhaps they are all corrupt - but I cannot vote for any member of a party whose mission it is to:

(1) take away a womans right to choose
(2) support a senseless war
(3) continue to deny gays the right to marry
(4) allow the incorporation of religion into government
(5) initiate the Patriot Act

The list goes on but for me these are the most important ones.

It would take a very vile Democrat to make me cross party lines. For me to vote for any individual that would knowingly attach themselves to the Republican party flies in the face of everything I believe and care about.

good job Ted Kennedy isn't running in Texas otherwise you'd be in a right pickle then

Leslie

Even old Ted isn't vile enough to make me vote Republican.

Now that's a contentious statement. Ted set the bar pretty high.

Leslie

We're talking child molesting and grandma punching .... that's how low they'd have to be.

Here, here! I happen to work for the certain insurance company he supposedly rescued from the deapths of despair (I do believe the current CEO is actually doing that) - I can vote and I will be voting the other way just cuz he does my head in.

I think you have a pair of two's, Ted has a Royal Flush.

I voted Dems down the line, and there was nothing silly about it. We haven't had a Dem for district since 1987 when Bob Edgar quit and the machine got Weldon in. On the ballot were Weldon, Santorum, and a bunch of state guys who voted themselves a raise in the middle of the night. and then took it early as "unvouchered expenses".

It it time to throw the bums out.

Incidentally, Bob Edgar is the kind of churchman even I can applaud:

http://www.ncccusa.org/news/2000GA/edgar.html

"Dr. Edgar took office January 1, 2000, at a time of great opportunity, as the 50-year-old Council began to reshape its life and mission. Under his leadership, the Council is focusing its energies on major initiatives in the areas of overcoming poverty, protecting the environment, fostering interfaith understanding, and building international peace."

Rick Santorum is pure concentrated evil. The fact that he voted against a raise in minimum wage but voted to raise his own pay in the middle of the night makes him lower than vermin in my book. I hope the treacherous bastard goes down in flames.

Agree with you Les. I'm not a registered republican. Never have been and never will be. While there are some issues I do agree with there are many I don't. Just as there are some issues I agree with on the democrate side and some I don't. On the issue of women's rights, it really doesn't matter what or who is in Congress or the White House. All you need is a Supreme Court vote and that will squash any women's right, i.e. abortion without you having a damn say in the matter. The Justices are appointed by the President and unless one is near dying, it is hard to tell when that vacancy is going to come up.

When people voted for Bush they not only voted in Daddy again but there was really no choices available for the position of presidency. You had an idiot and an idiot. It was a no-win situation.
