>>Don't know how to break it to you, but the 'war' is not the only important issue in this upcoming election. While none of the Dems except Edwards and Kucinich are yet proposing the kinds of changes we need to out health care "system," pretty much all the Dems would probably do more to improve it than the Republicans would.<<

Oh, come on, for Christ's sake! You must think people are stupid. Of course, the dems aren't going to do anything about it! They've had plenty of their people in the White House and held a majority in Congress for over 40 years and nothing changed. And it's not going to change now. If they're too scared to stop Bush or end the war, I'm supposed to believe they're going to handle health care??? BASED ON WHAT????????

And, of the dems, the ONLY one I trust is Kucinich and, needless to say, he has no chance of winning his party's nomination. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for George W. Bush. It'll be like he never left office. You mark my words! You hear me? YOU MARK MY WORDS!!!!

>>And several Democratic candidates would probably do things like fixing (or backing out of) NAFTA and GATT, supporting organized labor, dealing with global warming, stopping the hemorrhaging of American jobs, etc., too -- at least better than Guiliani, Romney, etc.<<

As I recall, it was the democrats who gave us NAFTA. No, they're not going to change it.

>>Probably the single biggest reason we need a non-Republican President in 2008 is that Ginsburg and Stevens will probably resign from SCOTUS (if they don't die first). Possibly Breyer too.    Another Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, or Sam Alito on the court could do irrevocable damage to our nation, our democracy, and the earth as habitable for humans.<<

Things were falling apart long before those clowns were ever sworn in. And things will continue to fall apart whether they are there or liberals are there. The only real change they can make is to abortion laws and I don't care about abortion one way or another.
