On the basis of what authority should federally appointed judges be outlawing abortions?

For some reason the html is all messed up. This should be better.

The Patriot Act is more nuanced that strongly for or strongly against. Kerry, who for all I know voted for the thing, says he wants to take out some provisions. I heard him mention the infamous "sneak and peek" provisions. I don't remember the details, but I recall looking at that subject and I think I wanted sneak and peek out, too. I wonder what the President's position on that is. I don't have to wonder what Ashcroft's position is.

I notice Bush's stand 'Strongly Oppose' extended unemployment benefits...

but they've done it several times and will soon do it again.

I also notice Bush's Strongly Oppose increase federal funding of higher education... something I doubt... Bush hasn't opposed any spending increases I can see... =o)

I also notice a lot of the hot-button issues aren't even asked.

Roll Back Cuts for People Making Over $100,000

Is this for individuals? What about couples filing jointly?

They don't have the authority.... abortion is a purely state matter and it should be sent back to the state legislatures.

Maybe it's intended to make Bush seem more right wing than he is. Or is that the tin foil talking?

They better start trying to make him seem more conservative if they want him re-elected.

Does it matter? Either way, it's blatantly unfair.

Who is they? AOL & Time? I seriously doubt they want Bush re-elected any more than you do

JFK doesn't stand for John F. Kerry.

It stands for JANE FONDA KERRY.

It's a fair question though, he just wants to know more about Kerry before he votes for him
