Youre very welcome, Its such a great site. Many others here including myself lurked long before joining.

One day i had such a great comment to post on a thread but couldnt, so i finally joined.

I can hardly stand the TV media anymore.

Breaking News cant be beat here, and people from all over post as stuff happens in their location. I love politics but the breaking news and humor here is what keeps me coming back. And i have learned more about politics in the process. (and not with the typical left slant)

See ya around FRiend.

Kerry's Past to Star in Bush's Ads:

President Bush 's reelection campaign has decided to focus its coming advertising barrage not only on John F. Kerry's record as a senator but also on his days as an antiwar activist, a House candidate and Massachusetts's lieutenant governor.

"The beauty of John Kerry (news - web sites) is 32 years of votes and public pronouncements," said Mark McKinnon, the chief media adviser. McKinnon suggested a possible tag line: "He's been wrong for 32 years, he's wrong now."

Campaign officials said in interviews that they plan substantial positive advertising about the president, focused on his proposals rather than accomplishments, when they begin spending tens of millions of dollars on the airwaves next month. But they made it clear that many of the ads will accuse the Democratic front-runner of "hypocrisy," in McKinnon's word, in part by reaching back into his early career.

Ditto on TV media! I usually have FOX and Friends on in the morning and I prefer them to any of the others, but even at that...it gets old. I also like Sean Hannity, but usually engage the "mute" button on Colmes. My interest in politics has grown, especially since the Reagan years. I really have learned a lot in the time I have been lurking here...there are some really astute posters on this site who bring up points that I had not previously thought of and wished I had. And there are some quick wits here as well... My only problem is keeping up with ALL the threads that interest me. Someone on another thread posted some "hints" and I think those will help. But this place is like a good book...you keep saying just one more page or one more thread and before you it...it's way past bedtime. LOL. Anyway, I'm glad I found FR and looking forward to all y'all can teach me and some new FRiendships! Cya
