Swift Boat Vets latest ad.
When has John Kerry laid forth any sort of plan. Hell, one of the only plans I've heard him talk about is his college educational plan, which was on MTV's rock the vote special on him. He went on to mention he wants to make college free to all Americans who are willing to join this group. Its kind of like beinga reservist, except you are basically set to help out your community for like 2 to 4 years and you get free school. The thing is, this makes no freaking sense. Sure it would be tremendous to have people help out the community, but so many young americans would be doing this. I don't know about you, but I don't know how the hell they could afford to do something like this, unless he plans on replacing all the city employees with volunteer students, but I'm sure that would piss off a hell of a lot of people. Although Im sure with all the bs city/government jobs their are, it wouldn't be much of a problem when it comes to efficiency. Sorry if someone works in the govt, but its just my opinion that there are a whole lot of bs jobs out there but I'm not implying that yours is one.

CORRUPT???? George Sr. is one of the biggest patriots their is, and Dubya is a hell of a patriot as well. You can disagree with his opinions, but calling them corrupt is plain old BS. They have definately cleaned up what is going on, I'm sure some stuff still gets hidden, its politics, but things are a lot cleaner now then they were during Clinton, imo. In no way does this have any reference to who was the better president, I'm not getting into that, but I think calling this administration corrupt is very inaccurate.

Well, I can tell you one thing....I was reading in the Times something about this and it mentioned that roughly 70-80% of the money coming from these groups is going on Anti Bush ads, so the swift boats, while an anti Kerry, it isn't like its only coming from this side, in fact a lot more have been done on the other side. Bush is wanting to get rid of this type of advertising, but I know Newt is against it as are some republicans. I really like Newt, but thats just me.

They are showing it on Fox News now. All I can say is these type of ads are definately going to have an effect on the election.

Republican National Convention
I still think Edwards is a better candidate then Kerry. If they reversed the ticket, I think it would be really interesting. Edwards is definately and up and comer in the democratic party because of his charisma. You can disagree with me all you want and say the politics matter, but if your charisimatic, you can get advisors around you to do the rest, imo. Thats just how this society is. 95% of the people don't know the politics behind it, so they watch a debate or two see whose charismatic and go with that. Both people are going to say things that sound good, and most voters won't think about which ideas actually make sense and are plausible. I completely disagree with Edwards stance and his whole two america bs he always yaps about, but regardless, I think he's a strong candidate and I still think he would of been a much better candidate for the democratic party.

Knights Make Several Roster Moves
I'm assuming he will get some time. The knights have been desperate for some healthy arms. One thing about Orionny, I don't know if he'll make it, but he has a sweet looking curveball.

Republican National Convention
With McCain, I think he makes a good politician because he isn't afraid to tell someone know or to stand up for what he believes in. I'm a really big fan of that in him. Of course, this tendency could lead to some blowups and that could happen when and if he runs for president in four more years. I'm sure GW would like to get re-elected and then hope his brother would follow suit, but to me, I think it would be really difficult (if everything went well) for that to happen. However, I thought both had good speaches. To be honest, I think McCains was more important, even if it wasn't quite as passionate (Rudy is just a really passionate person who is definately a better public speaker). However, ask New Yorkers what they thought of him during most of his tenure. He was probably one of the most hated mayors ever in New York. To his credit, he took the heat and stuck with what he thought was best and in the end he really cleaned up New York and then on top of that, he did an oustanding job during and following 9/11.

Ya, that was the times she would look uncomfortable to me. She'd kind of get stuck reading the teleprompter too long. However, for most of the time, she looked comfortable, imo.

Laura had a very good speach, imo. She looked a little stiff on ocassions when she was reading the teleprompter, but overall I thought she looked pretty comfortable. She also did a nice job painting what went on in Bush's mind, which I think was very good politically. Laura is a very sharp, respected women. I also liked the fact she brought up women in Iraq and Afghan, because for a long time I have wondered when they would mention that because politically it makes sense. The women, especially in Afghan had absolutely 0 rights and what they had to go through was absolutely absurd. Iraq wasn't as bad, but it was still awful and the type of torture chambers they had and the way that country was run was awful. Overall, I think this speach will definately help Bush. Unlike Heinz, she didn't talk all about herself and she tried to set a frame of who Bush is (although Its not quite as important as it was for Kerry, cause most people know who Bush is, while far fewer know much about Kerry, who hasn't been in the spotlight all that long, even if he is a long term senator). Only part I'd really argue with was when she talked about health care, because I still think this country needs to do a lot more whne it comes to it. I'm not saying do it like it is in Europe or Canada, but the prices of medicines is absolutely ridiculous.

Well if its any positive, the national GOP officials asked them to stop. I agree though, I'm not for sending that message. Regardless of the type of injuries and you can debate what type of leader he was down in the jungle and out on the river, but only his troops know that and I'm not going to tell him he was a pussy, cause he was there. He may of b****ed about it and what not afterwards and said some really stupid comments that I can't believe were said, but he went there and that earns something in my book.- Republican National Convention

Morally devoid, have you seen the stuff that used to go on in the greek and Roman empire? I don't know if I would go that far and you couldn't blame television for that. I enjoy my tv and I don't like it being sensored. I don't see Europe having that big of a trouble and their television is way more off the walls then US's. Agree with what you said on the war though. - Republican National Convention
