You're right. Of course I would.

I haven't heard him say that he doesn't support gay marriage. All I noticed is that hes focusing his campaign on other issues that WILL affect our nation, instead of wasting his time rousing up the christians with an issue that really isn't going to ruin us! Health care? Important. Jobs? Important. Getting out of Iraq? important.
And while I DO think gay americans should have ALL the same rights as EVERYONE else - I don't see why its necesary to act like if we don't stop them from getting married our country might implode. It's just a distraction from actual issues that will effect peoples day to day lives.

Call it what you want, but my lifestyle, my research, my perspective on life has shaped my beliefs.

I don't fall on these opinions in two seconds, and I absolutely feel that this is what I believe in.

Go ahead, tear it apart, twist it your way.

I'm not changing my opinion.

And It's almost 1 AM, and I'm totally beat. Night, everyone.

"The cause that I would be quitting does not wait for approval of selfish countries"

That is beyond hypocritical considering who you support. Bush's America, is, if nothing else, selfish. Bush's America makes decisions based on MONEY. Money that will help the upper classes, of which Mr. Bush is a part, that is the very nature of selfishness. What I really hate about this man is the fact that he makes all Americans out to look so pompous and condecending towards other nations just because they don't agree with us whenever we decide we need to invade a country based on pretense (and I use the word "we" loosly). America and Iraq are not the only two countries on the face of this planet, and it is the President's job to consider how our decisions effect our international reputation, as well as our national defence. The reckless decisions he continues to make are costing us our credibility as a strong democratic people.

well i don't know where they're hiding all the conservitives i'm seeing on tv. maybe the rest of the state is red, and dallas fort worth and austin are... mixed to liberal? i think the republicans are the older crowd, like parents and grandparents, and the high schoolers/college kids are telling them to shove it, basicly, and seem to be more liberal or mixed. it's weird to have this reputation and have it reenforced by people like bush and his supporters. no one here really cares that i'm (possibly)gay or that i care about civil rights or whatever. however, i did get flipped off while with my grandmother today- she has a W '04 sticker on her car. i gave the person a thumbs up.

I'm not a very political person, but don't disrupt all of NYC!

I went to a Kerry campaign party at a bar, where we mostly listened when not laughing out loud in disbelief and screaming in anguish. If I'd know there was a party here, I could have saved myself some money. The running commentary doesn't make a lot of sense without the soundtrack.

Neither does the last paragraph in LG's impassioned piece. Try as I might, I cannot for the life of me figure out what she was trying to say.

LORD JESUS, SOMEBODY CALM ME DOWN!!!!! This girl at work here is telling me (as I'm typing this) not to worry because Bush will not strip away my rights and that if Kerry wins, she'll be moving to Canada. I'll kick her ass out the window here if she keeps this up.

As a faggot from Long Island--not Jewish, but I did grow up in a Jewish neighborhood--in complete disbelief that the RNC chose NYC, I've come to look at it this way. Madison Square Garden is where all my childhood memories of Ringling Brothers/Barnum and Bailey Circus took place. I realize that nothing has changed: One event is a spectacle in which trained elephants sh*t all over the floor. And the other event is a Circus.

Matt: Question is, would Canada accept that co-worker? Afterall, they currently support all the social policies that Bush is against...

[GTP]

Posted: 9/3/04 at 10:57am

Really, Canada is more progressive than we are in many ways (socialized medicine, anyone?). What would she do there without all the christers running around like Chicken Little waiting to be raptured? Even if Kerry wins, the current status quo won't change any time soon.

"The cause I would be quitting does not just focus only on the middle class, but all social classes as a whole. Say what you want about it being just about the rich."

OH, honey, I will say what I want about it being just about the rich because it is. It is. Look at the bulk of his tax break. Just because I make $30,000 I should have a smaller tax break than the guy who makes $30 million? He can shoulder more burden!

"The cause that I would be quitting does not believe that a person with different color skin needs some sort of 'help'."

But, unfortunately, they do, because we still live in a society where the color of your skin or where you're from has a direct bearing on how people treat you. You might feel that you grew up in a respectable place where people treat one another equally but it's not like that in the rest of this great country. Where I am from, black people move into a neighborhood and white people move out. SO you think that one of those white people is ever going to hire a black man or woman if they don't have to? In addition to the color of your skin needing help, people from poor neighborhoods need help. Would you end affirmative action and forever ensure that the children growing up in the god-awful slums of some metropolitan area have drugs or the hope of a sports scholarship as their only means to ever get out?

"The cause that I would be quitting does not wait for approval of selfish countries, encourages self independence, and the cause that I would be quitting is one that I identify with in so many ways."

I'm dying to hear which countries were being selfish besides ourselves. Let's not forget, we railed on the UN to send in the weapons inspectors then got our panties in a wad when they "Weren't doing the job quickly enough." Then fast-load Bush made them hightail it out of there so we could start spending billions of dollars a week on military spending to get Hussein since he made such a ****ty job of Afghanistan.

"Unfortunately, there is one reason I'd ever want to quit."

And a good reaosn it is.

"But I never will. Staying in the Republican party and trying to bring about change will make me happier than voting for a president for one reason- which he doesn't even support."

Someday, you might find yourself rethinking that. When you have no social security, when you and your children are paying the price for the ridiculous tax cut Bush wants followed by his record spending (it's going to take another Democrat to balance that mess and take the blame for giving us higher taxes again)...of course, maybe you are just going to live off the trust fund started by your daddy, in which case I would never expect you to vote against the man who wants to make sure that the death tax and inheritance taxes are eliminated.

"And another thing is that Democrats don't tend to look at the whole picture of America in terms of the people who are in it. I'm not closed-minded."

Lol. This is the funniest statement I've ever heard from a Republican. Democrats don't sector apart our society but they do focus on those demographics who most need our help. The rich and richer in this country don't need our government spending its time revising the tax code to give them aid. I owed my government so much money this year, LG, and made just enough money to pay my rent on time, usually pay my bills, buy some food and occasionally enjoy a night out on the town, and save about $300. You want my honest opinion? The bull**** spouted off by the Bush Administration has fooled you into thinking you'll keep more of your money but he's watching the pockets of his "Base" (the haves and the have mores, direct from his own mouth) get fuller and fuller and watching people like me shoulder a disproportionate amount of his failures.

No, there has to be a bit more time to be sure the news has gotten out and Dubya and his cronies have time enough to boast about it. I vote for Wed. Oct 27th. One week before, time to take over the entire news cycle for the week. And it's a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse....wooo-woooo.......
