PROGRESSIVE MY ARSE!

Liberals dont have the COURAGE to ADMIT they are LIBERALS. They use the
PC word "progressive" in it's place because they dont have the GUTS (or
intellect)to argue (with reason instead of name-calling) their true
position on ANYTHING

I'm pretty much centrist myself.. I have liberal view on some things (health
care for the elderly, death penalty, etc.) and conservative views on other
things (taxes, abortion, etc.).. but I have never understood what the far
right hates so much about the left (or vice-versa for that matter). Both
sides have some crazy ideas, both sides have some great ideas. For
instance, if not for liberals, women would still not have the vote, blacks
would still be slaves, and you would be working in a sweatshop for $1 an
hour. If not for conservatives, we would be paying half of our wages in
taxes and would never be able to own a home or have credit...

It's all about "bragging rights". "We Won The Election!" "We're In
The White House!" "We're More Popular!". Neener Neener!

It has nothing to do with "The Future Of America" or any of that
rhetoric. It's a horse race, a beauty pageant. Pure and simple.

That's why I gave up voting about 20 years ago. It makes no difference
who "wins" or who "loses". Any candidate will say anything to any
group in order to get elected.

Whatever you all decide is fine with me. Just wake me up when it's all
over.

Well Dan, I guess you're entitled. But if you think judicial
appointments, which are purely based on the party in power, have
nothing to do with the future of the country, or the present in which
you're living, there's not much I can say.

That's the *only* thing that *might* matter. In the long run, however,
it balances out, because you generally get 8 years of Republicans and
then 8 years of Democrats. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

You've got a lot of nerve to be telling the truth Dan! Get ready to duck : )

If only that were true. This is the era of Big Government. There are
thousands and thousands of jobs to be handed out. There are billions of
dollars worth of contracts to be awarded. People will be prosecuted, or not
prosecuted, based on the outcome of the election.

It makes a great deal of difference who wins, at least for some people.
And, yes, candidates will say most anything, but they put much less in
writing.

Sorry if I gave you nightmares!

All of that will happen no matter who is in the White House. If the
job goes to Eany, Meany, Miney or Moe it makes little difference.

If you consider Roe v Wade, affirmative action, Miranda rights, "God"
in the pledge of allegiance, and exceptions to search and seizure
requirements to make little difference.

Is there really much evidence there's much difference between judges
appointed by Republicans and Democrats? I know Rush is oftentimes eagar to
tell us who appointed the judges (usually Carter or Clinton) who write
decisions he disagrees with. But often Rush doesn't mention who appointed
the judge. Howcum? I'm guessing these are mostly Reagan or Bush
appointees.

How might I tell the difference between court decisions between Republican
judges and Democrat judges? By the girls in the military school decision?
By the campaign reform decision?

Certainly the abortion decision is the highest profile of these old issues.
The religious right has made a real difference in American elections. The
majority of the Supreme Court is now Republican. And the abortion decision
is now older than the majority of Americans, and may outlive us all.
