DC: My mother-in-law is a "dyed in the wool Democrat" She always votes democratic as she grew up in Chicago and her mother told her to vote democratic because that way every year the precinct captain made sure they got new garbage cans! Hard to believe but true! I finally had to explain to her how municipal bonds were both in her interest and the community's even if it was a Republican sort of thing! I think she still votes democratic and she still can't understand why 85% of her Social Security is taxed. I just tell her that she is a Republican.....she just doesn't know it! LMAO -Poleon

Reading this thread line has done my lefty heart so much good. I sure have missed the old back and forth. How is everyone? Some random thoughts... Concerning the RNC: Each convention tries to put a face forward to that narrow slice of those who haven't made up their minds to this point. Ergo: the Dems portrayed Kerry as a Strong, War-Hero type, and the GOP is dusting off their once every 4 years "compassionate conservative" line. It is all a big show. I like the fact that Kerry has nuanced thoughts on things, and if you look at how votes take place, there is a reason, for one example, that he voted against the monies for the troops. The bill, as presented, had a provision abolishing protections for workers in the homeland security department that was being formed, and Dems (and some Reps) wanted accounting for where it (money) was going, and there was none. This, plus the fact that Bush said he would veto the alternate version of this bill forwarded to his desk with those provisions in it. Does anyone comment about Bush threatening to veto a bill supporting the troops? No.
It's all a game of smoke and mirrors, and right now, the better magic act is being performed by the GOP and Karl Rove. Never watch the hand the magician wants you to, watch what the other one is doing.
Mrs. First Lady: Nice job. The Bushes marry up, you gotta give them that.
Arhhhnold: If you had told me 20 years ago that he would be speaking at the GOP convention as Govenor of CA, I would have had you comitted. He, along with McCain and Guiliani are all jockeying for future positions. Esp. McCain and Guiliani, Schottzie has that constutional problem of being foreign-born, but that may change in the next 10 years or so. Nothing says he can't be a cabinet offical. McCain and Guiliani will both run for Pres in '08, I predict.
What a country, what a life!
Please discuss amongs yourselves...

Arnold is a joke. He was a immigrant body builder and thinks he identifies with poor immigrants.

as long as kerry continues to harp on vietnam bush's lead will grow, bush talked for 0 seconds on kerrys service in vietnam last night, the only thing cheney talked about was "kerry served in vietnam, and we honor him for it"
whoever is running kerrys campaign needs to go

As a fiscal conservative, I have one question for the Bush campaign. How does he propose to pay for all the programs he set forth last night? He said in his speech he wanted to make the tax relief permanent. The money has to come from somewhere!

They really shit the bed on the whole swift boat captains thing. Kerry came out looking like a hypocrite by not denouncing Michelle Moore, the media fund, and moveon.org, yet saying Bush absolutely had to denounce the swift boat captains. Then, Kerry wouldn't let it go.
