Sickening isn't it? I left the Democrat Party years ago.. I registered and have voted straight Republican ticket since.. well seems the Republican Party has become the Democrat Party..doesn't much matter which party you vote for.. count me a conservative, the only loyalities I have are to God, country, and conservative values.

Agreed

Current Political spectrum (far left to far right):

C*-->F*-->S((E)*-->D*-->LL*-->R*-->**CENTER**-->CL-->CP*-->CoL-->Re*

C = Communists
F = Fascists
S(E)= Socialists (Environmentalists)
D = USA Democratic Party (USA)
LL = Liberal Libertarians (liberals who want drugs legalized
R = USA Republican Party

**CENTER** - Center of the political spectrum

CL = Centrist Libertarians (Republicans who want to end the war on drugs)
CP = Constitution Party
CoL = Conservative Libertarians (pure Constitutionalists)
Re = Reactionaries

There's a big difference these days. With the exception of Lieberman and maybe Gephardt, the Democratic Presidential candidates are willing to let the nation's throat be cut by terrorism, whether out of political opportunism or hatred of American greatness. One must conclude that that is the majority attitude of the Democratic Party.

Say what you want about the GOP these days -- and I have my disagreements with them, as well -- but, led by George Bush, it believes in American greatness and in defending this nation.

It's a damned shame that only one of the major American political parties actually believes in America any more, but until the Dems return to the tradition of FDR, Truman, JFK, and LBJ (as much as I likely would have disagreed with them, were I alive back then) or are replaced as a major party, that's the way it is.

Sure is to people with a deficient understanding of cost of doing business.

The Conservative Dogma gains are very impressive under the watch of Dubya', and at the same time the war on terrorism without depending on a choice of a selected few targets with cruise missiles...and still maintaining a positive light on the market.

From: http://www.politics1.com/const04.htm

Maryland attorney Michael Peroutka is currently the [Constitution P]arty's designated "provisional" Presidential candidate for 2004. Party founder and three-time Presidential nominee Howard Phillips has already endorsed Peroutka for the nomination. Other CP state chairs have also expressed support for his likely candidacy. What all this means is that Peroutka will be the CP's Presidential nominee in 2004 -- unless the party finds a "big name" person willing to run under the party's banner....He opposed the US action in Iraq on constitutional grounds: "It's not that Congress doesn't have the authority to declare war. It's just that it hasn't done so." However, he emphasizes that he strongly supported the US troops in Iraq while opposing "the unconstitutional procedures under which they were committed to fight."

I'm unclear on this. Does this mean that Peroutka is against U.S. military action in Iraq or that he thinks the action was correct, but proper procedures to authorize it were not done? In short, if there had been a resolution declaring war before Congress, would he have supported it?

The government has expanded at a pace greater than anytime since LBJ. That can only be seen as a 'gain' in the magical kingdom of Bushbotland.

Not true, for it can be seen by aggressive, hardworking individuals, like myself who have taken a portion of their hard earned efforts and invested them into the market and with the returns have spent a portion of the fruitful investment to make my life more pleasing (gasp, what a selfish thought) and in return I have promoted my own financial gains along with others, through paying for their services, to make my life more comfortable, because of my investing and spending my hard earned money with others to who help promote a more fulfilling life style for myself.

Magic wasn't an inputting factor, hard work and reaping of that hard work was.

Closed minds will gain no insight.

Perhaps a "Deeply Saddened" clip will help you understand the crumbling of the Democratic party AND their agenda.

Run a search on "Tom Daschle" and you will understand the "dogma" that I refer to.(if you have the ambition to do so)

You,re full of it. There was no bashing in the article. And if you care to look the Republicans are taking home as much pork as any Democrat ever did. They all seem to go nuts when they get to DC.

Silly.

But they do tend to be a bit silly in the town of Bushbotville in the magical kingdom of Bushbotland.....where the greatest expansion of governmrnt since LBJ is considered an 'advance'.

..doesn't much matter which party you vote for..

People who say this are either extremely ignorant or just flat out not being honest.

There is a huge difference.
