Good thought..the problem is...everyone (voters) are
influenced by their peers primarily, and their voting
is not taken seriously...easily influecned..that is why
the attack ads are what they are...it is assumed that
you and I are negative from the get-go..hence the ads
get the conversateion going....at work, at play, at the
watering hole...so nothing positive makes an in-road..
Reagan and his cheerful atitude confounded the MSP and
no one has been able to emulate his optimism...and
then the cycle started again...we need positive people
and positive programs to recoup...Jake
No.
How guilty-by-association are the 25 new Democrat congressmen who are associated with the party of treason?
Probably a lot, but the GOP didn't work the media hard enough to inform the voters. Instead they played catch-up/react or followed W's "new tone in Washington" by not responding. Lame.
I just started on it and will bookmark it to read when I can.
Iraq IS like Vietnam, IF that means a Democrat congress wants to cut and run, again. Otherwise, there is little similarity as far as the war effort is concerned. Nor is Iraq similar to Korea and we have no plans to remain in Iraq for generations without resolution, as we have in South Korea. If anything, the model for Iraq is Granada, but on a larger scale: go in, get it done and come home.
Americans DO want the war over and our troops coming home. But, not until weve stabilized Iraq and they can stand on their own two feet in defense of their country.
The Middle-East has been a tinderbox waiting for a spark to set it ablaze for most of my life and today is the first serious effort to stabilize that region. Finally, after all these years America is doing more than giving lip-service to this problem.
The reason this is going to take more time than wed like is because we want the Iraqis to support themselves, not us dictating to them as an imperialistic, occupying force.

kristinn's thread
Off to eat dinner now (roast chicken, yorkshire, new potatoes and brocolli followed by sweet mincemeat and apple tart with custard).
See you all next week.
I wasn't complaining about NO coverage of those shows..
I was trying (perhaps not successfully), to point out that with those shows having the same people on week after week, there is no reason for any of US to be curious.
BUT, the people that aren't political news junkies like we are...MIGHT assume that those people are on every week because they are the most important, smartest, most relevant, most powerful...etc.
But, we know different....sadly, I think the election showed us that too many Americans beleived them and the MSM that feed them those guests and POV day after day.
There was one guy that I saw in the FLEEper crowd that was talking about all of the troops casualties.
I may be wrong...but I believe that in the last few months...the number of troops KIA would fall below the deaths of young people who have died in car accidents and gang fights here in the USA...but, that guy won't ban cars or tell kids they can't "play" together.
LOL
Thanks, I just finished the first 50 posts. One thing that strikes me is some of the Freepers are really not aligned against Bush as much as they are want to get the job done by killing untold thousands of Iraqis to do it. But, I won't start in on that here.
Thank you so much for posting that...
Churchill was a very, very brilliant man.
Very good....you are very right!!
I see President Bush as a very optomistic person..and a friendly guy...more in person than in big speeches.
But, as much as I love Pres. Bush...Reagan did have that cheerful sparkle about him.
I just wich the electorate would actually LOOK at the demeanors of Dems though...I never ever see them smile except Pelosi, and her mouth is plastered that way.
If you bookmark the thread to read later....you will notice that yesterday I took on some of them...
I did my best....but, in the end, some of them just believe that are WAY too smart for me and President Bush, Rummy, Cheney and Condi.
