the polls mean nothing. dean is way ahead and his voters are organized
also, nader is not running this year. with some conseratives going libertarian, bush can easily lose. remember, if the nader votes had went to gore, gore would be pres today

If the polls mean nothing then why the heck do they even have them? Makes no sense. Which Republicans are jumping to libertarian?

they already are, look at the libertarian vote last election, without nader this time, bush may be in trouble. also, more conservatives are upset over immigration and runaway spending.
also, the media wants a close election. if dean wins they have nothing to talk about. they will make it seem dean lost no matter how well he does in iowa and nh

Since when does the media give Republicans any support? I am confused on that one. They may be upset over the immigration move (I am too) but that in no way means he is in trouble for re-election.

no, i mean the media will play up whoever comes in second to dean, so they will have something to talk about as far as the dem nomination is concerned. thats why all these stories are suddenly coming out about how close the dem race has become.

But I also don't believe that Al Sharpton has a snowball's chance in HE!!either...

howard dean and george bush are BOTH equally embarrassing. this is the united states of america...the greatest nation EVER on the face of the earth to date. and in chosing our leaders...we can do MUCH better than george --- i cant speak a word in the english language correctly without making a complete ass out of myself ---- bush ....or howard ---- I cant function correctly without arguing ---- Dean.

you must be a complete blind person to not realize that. George bush is the about three things ----

1) MONEY
2) POWER
3) GREED

oh wait and i cant forget oil either.

so then i guess whatyour trying to assert (and very poorly at that) is everyone who has a political stance similar to mine is anti-american because we dont like george bush.

How is what FLguy said anti-American? It was anti-Bush, certainly, but anti-American? Give me a break.

Nothing Anti-American about that IMO. Just because people do not share your opinions, J, do not make them anti-American. But please, explain exactly what is Anti-American about that statement. And what is so ridiculous about it, his remarks are public knowledge that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to speeches. Either he needs to fire his speech writer, or learn to read the speeches that are written for him.

Go back and read the post by j. He said the statement not the poster.

While we all have our political views this thread was going along just fine. Coming to post to attack and spewing the name calling is totally uncalled for.

I'll be the first to admit I have a quick temper when I read or hear statements that are inflamatory toward our President. I for one am grateful that this man has been in the White House the last 3 years. I shudder to think where we might be without a strong National defense, and a strong resolve to fight terrorism at every level.

Sorry but I'm not ashamed to back our President, and I call it like I see it.

I still don't understand how that statement is Anti-American. This country prides itself on free speech, and free speech IS as American as we can get.
