Isn&#8217;t that what is suppossed to happen?  I mean, it&#8217;s not like he got impeached for a private consentual affair after spending years a meandering &#8220;investigation&#8221; that spent millions of dollars looking for any dirt it could find, say like the <em>Republicans<\/em> did to Clinton.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWhat has happened to the party I&#8217;ve spent my life working in?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, when that &#8220;breath of fresh air&#8221; Nixon adopted his Southern Strategy, the northern part of the Democratic party got control and they dropped the white supremacy plank in the south.  Was this a rhetorical question?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nAnd nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and trust me, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/5892840\/\" target=\"_top\">I&#8217;m completely mad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nTell that to the half a billion men, women and children who are free today from the Baltics to the Crimea, from Poland to Siberia, because Ronald Reagan rebuilt a military of liberators, not occupiers.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not that reality has <em>anything<\/em> to do with Republican speeches, but it should be noted that Reagan&#8217;s hard line actually temporarily pushed reformists out of power in the Soviet Union and hard liners got control as he started an arms race.  I mean, reform happened <em>despite<\/em> Reagan, not because of him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nFor it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>um, what?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nIt is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. <\/p>\n<p>It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is this some sort of World War II reference?  Soldiers didn&#8217;t fight and die for constitutiion so that people could exercize their constitutional rights, damnit!<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll never forget the battle of the first amendment, when soldiers stormed schools and removed prayer.  Oh now wait, that was case law, wasn&#8217;t it?  Gee, it seems like lawyers and activist have a lot more to do with protecting our rights.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n[Democrats] don&#8217;t believe there is any real danger in the world except that which America brings upon itself through our clumsy and misguided foreign policy.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>does anyone really beleive that terrorists hate our freedom?  I mean, anybody serious?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nListing all the weapon systems that Senator Kerry tried his best to shut down sounds like an auctioneer selling off our national security but Americans need to know the facts.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While I really wish it was true that Kerry had tried to shut down all these weapon systems, he merely <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/articles\/A54597-2004Sep1.html\" target=\"_top\">voted against one defense bill that Dick Cheney also voted against<\/a>.  Perhaps Dick Cheney is also anti-weapon?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein&#8217;s scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident missile; against, against, against.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If Kerry really was against Patriot Missles, which actually created more falling explosives and debris over Israel, and against Star Wars, wouldn&#8217;t those be points in his favor?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nU.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>ha ha ha.  This is funny because I&#8217;ve totally distorted the record!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nSenator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations. <\/p>\n<p>Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending. <\/p>\n<p>I want Bush to decide.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>the United States was instrumental in founding the United Nations so that <em>other countries<\/em> would avoid war.  We can have war whenever we want.  Especially against those stinky French!  and their snotty Parisian waiters!  Or whoever Bush thinks looks shifty today!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nFrom John Kerry, they get a &#8220;yes-no-maybe&#8221; bowl of mush that can only encourage our enemies and confuse our friends.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Bowl of mush&#8221;?  Perhaps it got mushy from being left out to long in the breeze fo freedom?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nI first got to know George Bush when we served as governors together. I admire this man. I am moved by the respect he shows the first lady, his unabashed love for his parents and his daughters, and the fact that he is unashamed of his belief that God is not indifferent to America.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>True story:  My housemate&#8217;s friend was standing outside of MSG with a sign that said &#8220;keep the church and the state seperate&#8221; and some RNC delegates approached him and asked &#8220;why?&#8221;<br \/>\ngod is only on the side of those who talk about him incessantly and want to make him the true ruler of a theocratic government.  Because the terrorists can&#8217;t hate our freedoms if we get rid of them.  Especially if soldiers do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uh, sorry that title should say &#8220;Zell Miller,&#8221; but I can&#8217;t seem to find my delete key.
