“Biden is correct about Afghanistan. There is no valid military objective there. Bring our combat forces home and let the State Department and the Commerce Department help these downtrodden pilgrims. Nation building is not a military mission and we are not the world's police force.”

“The republicans have never been very good with science or the truth. The science classes were just too hard and the truth does not support their fundamentalist positions. Why would anybody with a brain vote for a republican?”

Why the National Debate is Still Conducted on the Right's Terms

Commented Aug 12, 2009 at 15:34:05 in Politics

“The health insurance reform program should be a discussion of US values and one of them should state that all Americans should have health care. The republicans have reduced the discussion to one of cost and have essentially said that each person is on his/her own. In other words, the republicans already have health care and they do not care about anyone else. What great Americans.”

“Racists like sessions could only be elected in the deep south. The GOP needs him because the south is the only region of the country that the GOP can hold. Most of the rest of the country will soon be blue. When Texas goes democratic, the game is over for decades. Once you lose a generation, you do not get it back.”

“Palin probably thinks that the GOP will nominate a person who cxould not finish even one term as governor and that she can learn enough in the next two years to provide reasoned answers to simple questions. Neither of these is true. The GOP is not that forgiving and the issues she would have to understand are hard and not answered by sound bites.”

macracan replied on Jul 03, 2009 at 16:35:40

“Hey, GOP nominated (twice in a row) someone who never quits, but instead drives everything into the ground. I guess someone that quits at the right time would be an improvement. Not that I think GOP capable of an improvement anyway...”

Commented Jun 03, 2009 at 05:34:30 in Politics

“In the end,the republicans are a bunch of old,white, hypocrites unwilling to change anything especially theor privledged position in life. Their chance of recovering the young voters is about as good as their becoming solid citizens and joining the Army to fight their wars. They have lost this generation for the long term. You did a great job bushie. Andf cheney and limbaugh are finishing the mess you created.”

“A lot of under-represented people live in the NYC projects, all they need to do talk to the people in the urban centers. We are all pack up in large buildings in the city, and have major issues that need to be addressed.

If you give tax breaks to the middle class & poor, and provide us with jobs we would vote republican every year. If you protect the constitional rights of the urban youth, you would enjoy power for years. The

Middle class is drowning under the city unfair laws.

The NYC is becoming a TAX & Fine State.”
