I have no agenda
This is getting silly.I do hope that all I want is for the best person to win who can beat Hillary....
Pretty easy to understand for most people here.
The difference is that I am basing my opinions on firsthand observations. I have seen plenty of Bush's speeches, interviews, debates, and press conferences. He has become much better reading prepared speeches [which are generally better written than Clinton's], but he does have a more difficult time expressing himself extemperaneously. Just watch a joint press conference between Blair and Bush. I think the Briitish political system does a better job of honing those skills.
Most US crowds respond to any US President, especially those who are in their camp politically.
I don’t think the Reps will nominate a “lightweight” as VP in 2008. This election is too critical.
Reminds me of an old saying..... “After awhile you realize all you get wrestling with a pig is dirty, and the pig enjoys it.”
With that tid-bit of BS I’ll get off and go away quietly.
And she will be if we all vote for the Rep nominee.
what did Bhutto have to say? Was she condemning the move, being neutral or being supportive?
I found the reaction of the Indian government interesting, merely expressing regret at the troubles Pakistan is facing, no harsh rhetoric or negative statements about the move, but a simple wish for things to get back on track for democracy.
It seems some here haven’t figured out that the enemy is not other Freepers but the dirty dems.
Back in a mo have an apple pie to make
Let’s restore abortion policy to the political process. Once that’s done make the humane case for the unborn state by state in the legislatures and on the campaign trail. In the process, avoid any suggestion that your morality compels you to treat young women in difficult circumstances as serious criminals. Ending abortion will involve changing many hearts and you can’t do that if you portray yourself as viciously censorious.
Anyone who tries to claim that abortion should be criminalized as a form of manslaughter is hurting the pro-life cause. Most Americans, even in the reddest states, if forced to choose between abortion on demand and a strict regime of criminal penalties for anyone who has or performs an abortion at any stage of pregnancy, will opt for the former. Whenever the abortion debate becomes a battle of the extremes, we lose. We can’t let it be that kind of battle.
Listen to Fred; follow Fred; on abortion and on nearly every other issue he is far and away our best hope.
It definitely seemed to be a condemnation.
I have NEVER seen anyone whine like this man did. How embarrassing it must have been for his family.
Lucky Duck,I love apple pie!
A real diplomat would have voiced his concerns privately rather than putting on that public display.
We'll agree to disagree. Using your logic, Bush 41 and 43 were not electable. Americans have different perceptions and views about what they want in their leaders. We saw the "media product" known as Bill Clinton. We discovered that he was all hat and no cattle.
