Hey now, I apologized for mixing my rants. Y'all are taking potshots at me after I admitted I was wrong. Oh, and you can get bad credit for not paying your medical bills, and I've yet to meet a health organization that was willing to negotiate that far down that the truely poor can make the payments. Cheers

First off, it's spelled Ciao, I think your little diatribes ares some of the best examples of uneducated conservative ranting that I have ever had the privelige to read on this or any other political website. But to your point. What would Kerry do better? If you haven't seen things we "liberals" have written then clearly you haven't been reading are responses in this and other blogs. If you had, you would know what we think Kerry would do b

Ah yes, that good old Iraqi constitution which is being held up by extremist Shiite Clerics. And that Damn Liberal Media, best shown by Fox News I think. The conservatives love picking on the media, but let's look at some facts. The media is controlled by a handful of rich white men. While some rich white men are liberals, the HUGE majority are conservatives. Do you think the owner would allow his company to be to opposed to his own view?

The same thing I do every year with my tax return, pay for one kids college education, a home loan, two car payments, and a father in a retirement home. What's your point? If my father got more social security I wouldn't have to pay as much, and if the government had surpluses instead of deficits they could pay off the debt, which would permanently lower taxes by the way. Cheers

I believe my point is that using a national tragedy, by any person, to gain votes is bad taste. If Bush put in his commercials all the things he had done to counteract terrorism, that would be great, but playing on basic emotions is a cheap shot, no matter who does it. Cheers

Angry finger pointing wins both sides votes. Please don't pretend that Republicans haven't been guilty of the exact same thing. Cheers

The first and only President to violate the 2 term limit I might add. 'Course he wasn't the first president to try, and for that matter, except for historical precedent, at the time there was no two term limit. Cheers

Woah now, I have a problem with Bush using the images of 9-11 in his campaign ads because he's exploiting a national tragedy. I know they didn't have TV ads in the forties but I can't really see FDR using images of Pearl Harbor to help win votes. Cheers

Actually, what makes the US different is that people have not used the ballot box to subordinate the rights of the people. I.E. Nazi germany, which elected Hitler into power, there are other examples, but y'know. Cheers

Oh, as a point of clarification, I fully support gay legal marriages. Churches can do whatever the hell they feel like. Though I belong to a church whose minister has been performing gay weddings for the past fifteen years. Cheers

Alrighty then aconservative, how about this, why did most republicans vote against Clinton the second time? Because they hated him. And to be honest it was a pettier hate than democrats feel towards Bush. After all, Clinton only lied about Sex. How many men in the United States have lied about Sex? Admittedly, most of us lie about having More Sex than we really do, but alot of us have lied about it. Bush misled people about Iraq. That's a good d

You are correct that hospitals can't put liens, I was actually mixing my rants, one about loan payments and the other about high hospital costs. My apologies. Cheers

No kidding, have you watched the democratic debates? Kerry and Edwards were the most comprehensible men at the table, but Kerry was clear, consise, and somthing Bush has a problem with, comprehensible. Cheers

With the mayor of New Platz facing criminal charges for solemnizing a marriage without a license, ironically not a criminal charge about performing marriages for Gay couples, Multnomah County, Oregon, home to such metropolises as Portland has jumped on the bandwagon and begun issuing marriage licenses for gay couples. The Democratic Governor of Oregon, along with the state Republican party have made disapproving noises, but strangely, the only

Another interesting fact I used in a class last term, but have lost the exact numbers, the long and the short of it is, in every country that is not the USA, it takes nearly 5-10 times longer for a person who has started a failed company to start another, if ever. I'll try and find the stat. Cheers
