Would you please explain to me what the "majority" of the US wants? When you do, come with facts. Polls won't get it. I will never buy the "ask 1000 households" so that we know what 300M people think. All I know is that GWB is the CinC (he was elected twice don't ya know) and will be until replaced in 2008. He has a paper in hand (voted on by your left leaning buddies) to do what needs to be done with the GWOT, and he's doing it. Congress either needs to give him the funding he requested or grow a pair and defund it all. Anything other than that is micromanaging BS.


The majority of the US wants out of Iraq. It is not benefitting our country in the least. Staying and fighting simply for the sake of fighting is insane. A wise man once said "Doing the same things over and over, and expecting different results is the definition of insanity".

Bush was appointed once and elected once. Popular vote showed he lost the first election, but I don't care to get into all that at this time.

And, as I have tried to tell you, just because a person is a Democrat it does not necessarily mean that person is a liberal. 2 major parties- democrat and Republican- 2 schools of political thought - liberal and conservative. There are both in each party.



I don't care what poliitcal affiliation you have -- We do not vote our President in with the majority of the popular vote -- we use the electoral college. You can spout that all you want to that he didn't get the popular vote--he won the college and that is it. He won them both -- regardless of the small margin -- every vote counts as it should in the system we use. We have used it for centuries and until the likes of Bush/Gore and Bush/Kerry elections where we were choosing between the lesser of 2 evils -- it has worked and it still does today. The EC makes sure that MY vote in Alabama counts.

If you want to get on the bandwagon of "popular vote"--look at how crazy the popular vote is -- American Idol--Sanjaya who can't sing worth a ____ is still in the competition! America is apparently full of screaming teenagers or is tone-deaf!

Big Grin Hello! If they are willing to vote him to stay every week -- doing something that doesn't work is insane was your comment -- then why don't they vote Sanjaya off ---

I know that doesn't make sense, but it shows how skewed polls can be and how an actual vote will show you what reality is....


I stated that I was not going into this, but the electoral college voting system is flawed. Always has been, always will be. I'm sure you do like it, otherwise W would have never gotten into office.


I agree with you it has its flaws, but like it or not -- that is the way it is. The first time no Bush wouldn't have against Gore -- but the 2nd time against Kerry, yes he would have won.
