    Attention gays, pro-choice, non-WASP people of the world, the Bush Reich is coming to instill "moral-values" on you...And if you have oil, you get our very special attention.

    Maybe someone can help understand what Bush has done in the last 4 years that has been so great as to want to re-elect him. A short list even.

    I guess P. Diddy's people didn't quite get the 'Vote or Die' message across as well as they hoped. Bring on the morals!

    If anything, your comment reflect more on the challenger than Bush.

    I am pretty sure there is only one of me, but I do think it is cool that someone spells their name the same way as I do. I will provide whatever proof necessary to show that we are in fact two separate people.

    I'm sorry, I can not accept this man as my president. I chose to be a citizen of this country five years ago. I did so because I love this country. America was the good guys, the country that does the right thing.

    Four years ago we elected Bush. We are not the good guys anymore, and we are not doing the right thing anymore. I have never been as pained as I was when we marched into Iraq. I had the same pain this morning when I realized that 51% of my fellow americans see nothing wrong with us being an agressor that has killed many many people, sees nothing wrong with being lied to and manipulated, and sees nothing wrong with having someone elses morals shoved down their throats. It made me physically ill to find out that I am party of a minority. I was convinced that the polls were wrong, and that most americans could not stomach the idea of us having killed all those people for no reason.

    I will suffer through the next four years, feeling helpless watching this man destroy everything this nation stands for ... life, liberty, and justice for all. But I won't accept him as my president. He is the president of this country, he will never be my president. And while I watch him trying to clean up his mess I will keep up the fight to get someone into the White House that will reinstate our status in the world, that will make us who we were ... strong and proud because we are a country lead by reason, not by emotional and religious zealots.

    "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

    Well, it's good to see at least someone is trying to by a moral role model.

    It is one thing to be a moral role model. It is another to use your power to change one of our country's most sacred documents to affirmatively discriminate against those who don't fit your "model."

    It is sad that we are really a nation that is broken into two major divisions; the rural conservatives (majority) that are living in a fantasy land about how if everyone would just be like us the world would be a better place, and the urban progressives (minority) who understand that it's the fact that we are not all the same that makes this country truly great. There are only two options for the enlightened (the current minority)...education or natural selection.

    Personally I mourn the moderate middle that seems to have disappeared.

    Well said gammonbabe - I agree with you 100 per cent as well. I really cannot understand why any intelligent person would reelect this man or what good he's done for this country while in office.

    Last time I checked, the last constitutional amendment ratifed was in 1992.

    We have a nice system of checks and balances that prevent one branch from doing just what you seem to imply above. And although a number of states passed measures that "affimatively discriminate against those who don't fit their 'model'", that is a long way from the two-thirds needed to call a convention, let alone the three-quarters needed to ratify an amendment.

    Interesting article: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041103/pl_nm/election_democrats_dc

    A couple excerpts:

    "I think this is a realigning election. The Democrats are going to have to get used to permanent minority status for a generation or two," said Tom Schaller, a political scientist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

    "The party doesn't know what it stands for any more. The Republicans have built majorities around their ideas, which can be boiled down to a few simple statements. The Democrats fish around for issues where they think there already are majorities," said Schaller, a Democrat.

    .....

    "The Democrats' positions on guns, God and gays has alienated millions of suburban and rural voters. The party needs to find a way to talk to them again if it is going to win national elections but it won't be easy," said University of Texas political scientist Bruce Buchanan.

    Republican political consultant Bill Greener said people in the nation's "heartland," where Republicans racked up one victory over another, often saw urban Democrats on the East and West Coasts as smug and elitist.

    .....

    In the immediate term, the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party is likely to be between those on the left led by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (news - web sites), who will argue that the party needs to sharpen its differences with Republicans, and those who would like to see the party find a way to appeal again to middle class and rural voters who appear to have written the party off.

    "We're sick and tired of losing," said Steve Achelpohl, head of the Nebraska Democratic Party. "There are a lot of angry candidates out here because our candidates were better qualified, and they didn't win."
