I don't think Doug has a chance in Jersey anyways. I don't think NJ has ever voted for anyone who isn't pro-choice. Definitely one of the most consistantly Liberal states in the Union.

Too easy

bacardi, cola, and yeundling=fun. went out the the dorms tinight, it was worth the trip. 18=legal, and acceptable when yoiu're in your lower 20s :D

We need a "Rock On" emoticon. Frist is another guy I'd be happy to vote for. The good ones never run, though.

On Dean: At least he stands for SOMETHING. My biggest issue with the Dems in the recent past is that they've been completley spineless. If they had put a guy like Lieberman up against Bush, I think Bush would have gone down pretty hard (despite the rednecks that would disqualify him by name) provided his party would back him up with something worthwhile to say. I don't think the Republicans have been going in the right direction either. The only pres canidate of their's I've liked in the recent past was McCain. Not only did he have the right stance on the issues, but he blew Bush out of the water intellectually. He has a history of getting things done, and he's someone whose leadership descisions I'd be inclined to have some faith in, even if I didn't agree 100% from where I was sitting. The same cannot be said of W, nor any of the wastes of hot air that the Dems have thrown at him

Getting OT with the happy Marriage stuff here, hehe. I understand the objections the title of "Marriage", I think civil unions are an accpetable solution for all parties. On the topic of poor Terri: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7328639/ Just look at the CTs. She's a vegetable. Let the poor woman die in peace, this isn't the public's business. It's been through SO many courts so many times, I don't see how there could be any doubts left... Is starving her to death while she's too high on morphine to feel any pain the best solution? Nope, but euthanasia is illegal. The only benefit of this being made public is that I think it's made many people write a living will. I know I did.

Missile Defense: NOT gonna happen, whether or not Canada has anything to do with it, so it's kinda a moot point. After 0 sucessful tests, I highly doubt congress will spend the money it will take to implement it.

I think the both of them are idiots, heh. I voted for the canidate I thought would be less incompetent in office. Simple as that. Little to do with policies as a whole, I don't really line up with either of them exactly.

Saying "monkey this national preserve, we need oil!" Sets a dangerous precedent in my opinion. Generally, I don't like to make very many generalizations... but the majority of people who aren't "pro-environement" just aren't educated on the issues. Which isn't to say that compromises don't ocassionally need to be made for the sake of economic pragmatism, but looking at the big picture, we're moving in the wrong direction in the environment, and it kinda astounds me that more people don't realise that it's a bad thing, just as serious a threat as nuclear proliferation or international terrorism, that should be dealt with in a no bull stuff manner.

Touche. I'm sure you get my point though.

I'd buy the allies of convenience excuse.... if there were any evidence to support it.

Back on topic. I get serached a good 50% of the time I fly, I don't have a problem with it. I know how threatening well dressed young white males are To be honest, I have no problem with that kind of profiling so long as it doesn't lead to restriction of rights or segregation. I don't really see why anyone would. Given that the VAST, VAST majority of the terrorists threatening us are of middle-eastern decent, I don't see a probem with a little profiling when it comes to air plane searches. I don't see where the objection is? I don't think anyone save a very ignorant few think that every muslim or arab is a terrorist. But I think most can agree that the majority of terrorists are muslim and/or arab.

People are silly. Anyone who doesn't think going in like we did was a big boo-boo is silly too. See CIA report that says we CREATED more terrorists than we defeated by poking Iraq up: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2005Jan13.html Yeah, Sadam had to go for humanitarian reasons. But there are MUCH bigger humanitarian problems in our world then Sadam. There were also MUCH bigger threats to our Nat'l security. It was an oops. WMDs and ties to Al Quaeda were the reasons for going in. They were stuff reasons. Is that a problem? IMO, yeah. When it comes to what my peers are dying for, I apreciate being told the truth. Any person with half a brain could dismiss the Al Quaeda connections imediately. WMDs? I always doubted it, and I always thought that it wasn't worth it to go to war, because I figured that something like what's happening now would take place. Just like the CIA did when they put the intelligence reports suggesting that we'd face massive oposition and possible civil war if we created a power void without half a million people on the ground. You know, the reports W had on his desk before the war. Obviously it was an oops. Anyone who denies that is silly, like I said. But that isn't what should we be discussing. The real question is, what do we do now that we're there?

Very true. I don't any informed person could come to the conclusion that he's evil. Truth be told, the vast majority of those who voted for Kerry are just like *shrug* "Oh well, could be worse."

I have an uncle that works at AP, and I gave him a call to see how things were looking. He believes that we will know the winner by the morning of November 5, given the way exit polls are looking, but he wouldn't tell me which way they were looking so strong, heh. He just said "well, it looks like half the supposed country is in for a surprise, because these numbers are looking pretty strong for one side, and not so strong for the other. Additionally, it looks like we're going to see the best voter turn-out since '92." Just thought that might interest y'all. It looks like everyone will have plenty of arguing or gloating tomorrow morning. I just wish the tease would have told me which way things are looking to be skewed, but I have my guess based on his comment on the turn-out... Then again, I don't think anyone can really make a qualified guess on this one. We'll have to see.
