Well, you could also look at the fact that this administration jumped on the diversity bandwagon in its brief to the Supreme Court on affirmative action. Justice O'Connor, another "conservative" appointee, seized on this to enshrine reverse discrimination into the Constitution.

I'll grant that Bush is a better choice than Kerry on defense. However, that's damnation by faint praise. Who wouldn't be better than Kerry? All the same, the administration refuses to actually enlarge the military so we don;t become overstretched and allow our enemies to perceive us as weak.

Gun rights? Why hasn't the Republican Congress and White House restored the people of Washington DC their right to bear arms?

And on abortion, the administratpion was great n the partial birth abortion ban. But where is a ban on human cloning? We have New Jersey getting ready to allow it within its borders and its on the way here in California. Why has the Republican leadership not moved to cork the genie in this bottle?

On illegal immigration, the only difference between Bush and Kerry is how quickly they will throw open the borders.

And where is the strong Republican leadership on the gay marriage amendment? Outside of Rick Santorum, whom the White House gave no back up to when he pointed out the absurdity of the Lawrence decision, there are few in the Republican leadership rallying on this issue.

Why hasn't the Republican Congress and White House restored the people of Washington DC their right to bear arms?

Because the people of Washington DC want a gun ban. They voted for one overwhelmingly. Put to a vote, a gun ban would pass 80-20. By the way, DC will vote for Kerry about 80-20 too.

O'Connor was appointed by Reagan 25 years ago. I'm sorry if you think Reagan was too far to the left for you. Dubya argued against AA. You need to get your facts straight.

So Dubya is only marginally better than Kerry? That's rediculous...and let me remind you Reagan cut and ran after Beirut.

Gun rights? Why hasn't the Republican Congress and White House restored the people of Washington DC their right to bear arms?

Dubya is about to let Clinton's AWB sunset...yet you see no difference. What gun ban has the Republican party passed in the last 20 years? None that I can recall. Hey wasn't Reagan a supporter of the Brady Bill?

And on abortion, the administratpion was great n the partial birth abortion ban. But where is a ban on human cloning? We have New Jersey getting ready to allow it within its borders and its on the way here in California. Why has the Republican leadership not moved to cork the genie in this bottle?

I said abortion not cloning. have 'rats passed a abortion ban?

Blah Blah blah...I get it now. To you, it is irrelevant what the majority of people in America believe or want. You want instant change and you want it right now.

ain't gonna happen. We didn't get to be a socialist country over night. Change takes time. It is unfortunate that many far right fringers can't see progress and fight against those who really are making the world a better place.

I wish everyone would stop waving around the "banning" of partial birth abortion as some Bush accomplishment. As with all his "accomplishments" it is no more than an instruction manual on how to perform a legal partial birth abortion.

I doubt this legislation has stopped one partial birth abortion, just the manner in which it is performed.

"On illegal immigration, the only difference between Bush and Kerry is how quickly they will throw open the borders."



Hogwash.

Bush would allow illegals to only apply for temporary work visas and get absolutely no special ease in applying for permament residency. Kerry has been pushing for full-blown amnesty where illegals will immediately get citizenship...
