These guys are all brutal.....if they knew what they were doing, they'd be in private business. They only say what they think voters want to hear - not what they really think.

POLITICS - like I've said before - it's the only job you can apply for and have a chance of getting whether or not you have the credentials, experience, brains, education, history - nothing matters. Scary

A few weeks ago, I would have said Dean would win, but they have been getting the dirt out on him and the flip-flops he's made (not to mention his comment from a decade ago that the Iowa caucas is a joke and that farmers shouldn't be deciding who runs - I guess he hadn't decided to run for President at that time).

I couldn't disagree more. I think President Bush is doing a fantastic job on all fronts despite what the liberal media wants to sorely to portray.

It is so refreshing to have someone in office that we are not ashamed of and wondering who he is doing this week or what he has lied to us about, again. The democrats have no one to look to but themselves for the mess they are in.

Now while the left says the tax cut for everyone that earned wages of $300 was not much, just think, when was the last time you got anything back from the left????

Now there's a surprise

Our politicians for the most part, make yours look like rocket scientists.

We just finished a long term with a deadbeat Prime Minister (not a President - Canadian politics lesson #1) so if the current guy (Paul Martin) does zero, he'll look great in comparison. We have had a couple half decent politicians over the years - but the problem is - if you do what's right for the country here - you won't get re-elected. Canada is an extremely socialist country - and the reason is the large skew in the tax system. If you make over about $60,000 Canadian, that's upper 40's US, you are considered rich and get taxed at about 50%. So when it comes to elections, politicians run on "we will give you more social programs and it won't cost you a cent, we will just tax the so-called rich more" - everyone making less than the top tax bracket votes "yes".

There's certain things they are saying that really scare me. For instance:

"We are going to take back our country!" Excuse me?

"The tax cuts only benefited the rich." Well, I know they include me in that, and if I had my income in the '60s, I would've been rich, but not today.

"I'm going to fight for you!" Don't do me any favors. If you'd just leave me alone, I can fend for myself, thanks.

The list goes on. . .but the thing that scares me the most is when they lie -- flat out lie -- and it seems to make no difference. Kerry called a judge Bush appointed a "known supporter of cross burning" (or words to that effect). The judge's kids were some of the first to go to integrated schools in Mississippi and he fought the KKK. All the guy did is question the fact that of three involved in cross burning, the worst two were essentially let go by the Clinton Justice Dept and the least culpable was recommended for a stiff sentence. Yet Kerry can say anything he wants and is never called on it.

I'm hot and cold on Bush, but at least he's honest. His response in Afghanistan, taking down Saddam, and the tax cuts that really saved our economy are great. The expansion of medicare, immigration, steel tariffs, etc are nuts. But. . .at least he's honest.

Wayne knows a lot about your system since he has bought a place in Naples. Think he is planning on retiring there in his old age. Right Wayne next year maybe. LoL

On John Edwards. I'm ashamed he is from North Carolina. He has only held one elected office, for as of yet, not a complete term. Even though he has not be ill, he has the WORST attendence record in either chamber. He cast a vote in less than 50% of the times he was elegible to do so. He just recently announced he was not running for election for his Senate seat because he was going to devote all his efforts to to his presidential campaign. The fact is that recent polls show him trailing a Republican House Rep. 40% to 60% and people in NC are very angry that he has not served them as he was elected to do. This is in a state where 57% of registered voters are Democrats. He could do well in SC, but in NC, even though he is a native son, I doubt he could carry the state.
