He's sounding real earnest and credible to me, but then I'm biased. All these righties seem to only be capable of ad hominems.

More books coming out? More ex-Bush people? How many do we need before Bush runs out of steam?

4. correct yourself...he is NOT a republican
According to the FEC he has ONLY contributed $ to democratic administrations, NOT republican so if he IS a republican he has a bad way of showing it. He is a dem.....and being used.

6. ???
Attacks? I am correcting someone spouting false information. If you are referring my stating that Clark is a pawn, being used in an election.....I would call that astute, not an attack. I supported Lieberman, I support the war in Iraq just like I supported Clinton in Bosnia. Both were VERY similar. I didn't realize that being a democrat meant not supporting what is right and just. Milosevic was as evil as Hitler and I commend Bill for taking him out without UN support. Saddam was as evil as Hitler and I am glad that the parties on both sides of the Senate put apart their differences and supported taking him out.

Is it all or none? Are we not Americans united against terrorist? Lieberman isn't a "real" democrat because he supported the war? Koch isn't a real democrat b/c he supports the pre-emptive strategy? Zell isn't a real democrat b/c he knows that you have to remove evil and not try and make it your friend.

I am sorry but I don't agree 100% with ANY candidate....never have and I hope I never will. Maybe it's b/c I grew up 10 miles from Manhatten and saw a skyline that will never be the same every time I got into my car. Maybe b/c I knew people that perished. Maybe it;s b/c I believe in justice. But is the desire to remove evil dictate what party you are a member of?!?!?!!? I hope not.....for the future of the world.

9. Democrats
You cannot be a Democrat and not support your party's platform or candidate.I find your example of Zell Miller and your implied defense of him offensive.Miller publicly endorses Bush. Any elected party official from precinct committee person on up takes an oath to not support a member of the opposing Party. Miller should be run out of the Party on a rail. and for the record, I am a New yorker too, and grew up with a view of the skyline and Saddam Hussein didn't have anything to do with altering it! And I believe in Justice, but I don't believe the the US has the right to dictate to the world.And I also believe that we should only attack those who attack us 'not those we would like to remove for other reasons. And Joe Lieberman is an idiot who didn't even read the Patriot Bill before he signed it. He told me so !We really don't need Dems like this!
