i am a republican...or at least i'm no different than most republican voters. the poles seem to indicate that despite the fact many of them thought Kerry would do a better job on the economy they felt bush was stronger on morals. they voted for bush. today i thought about why i voted for kerry. he was the lesser of 2 evils. he definitely didn't inspire me to vote FOR him. i voted AGAINST bush. why? because of my moral positions. i didn't vote b/c of either candidates economic policy, health care plan or the war in Iraq. i voted b/c i am anti-big brother can violate my civil rights, pro-choice, anti-death penalty, pro-anybody who wants to can get married, anti-10 commandments in the classroom, etc. i voted my morals not policy. this sucks. politicians should be in place to handle matters of domestic and foreign policy concerning economics and other practical matters such as transportation, health care and education. they should not be elected based on how they think i should live my life. the fact that i based my vote almost soley on that depresses me.

my understanding as well. it'd be nice if we lived within a budget.

they announced today that they need to raise the debt ceiling in order to manage the governments borrowing needs. i feel so warm and fuzzy about the economy and the way this administration is handling it.

it's already started! attack ads coming to a TV near you soon! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=536&ncid=536&e=7&u=/ap/20041103/ap_on_el_pr/eln2008 By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The day that dropped the curtain on the 2004 presidential race raised one for the 2008 contest, with Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites) and John Edwards (news - web sites) jockeying for advantage among Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist the first on the stage for Republicans.

Who's counting? Lots of folks. "You can be disappointed, but you cannot walk away. This fight has just begun," Edwards told Democratic loyalists in Boston in a concession speech that also could qualify as the leadoff stump speech of the next presidential campaign. The Democratic decks are cleared with John Kerry (news - web sites)'s defeat, and Edwards and Clinton start off as early favorites within their party for 2008. Not that they — or Kerry — are talking about any plans so soon. Since Bush cannot run again, the race is wide open on the Republican side as well, even more so than it would normally be. Usually the outgoing incumbent's vice president is the automatic favorite for the nomination. For instance, Democratic Vice Presidents Walter Mondale in 1984 and Al Gore (news - web sites) in 2000, Republican Vice President George H.W. Bush in 1988. But Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), who is 63 and has a history of heart disease, has ruled out a run on his own for president. That leaves a potentially crowded field — including Sens. Frist of Tennessee, John McCain of Arizona, George Allen of Virginia, Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (news - web sites), New York Gov. George Pataki and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — with no early favorite. Frist wasted no time in putting himself into play, beginning a "victory tour" of the South on Wednesday that included stops in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina with victorious GOP Senate candidates. ...

i'm truly surprised by my reaction to this. i am genuinely depressed. during the last debacle, i saw the results and moved on. this time, i truly don't feel like leaving the house. ugggh

yes, leave it to scott to not actually answer the question.

yeah! what he said!

last night all the political yahoos were talking about the polls that show people being more confident in Kerry's ability to help the economy than Shrubya but less confident in his moral positions. the thing that really bothers me about this is that i thought we "hired" politicians to handle things such as economic issues and foreign policy. i thought morals were something that should be dealt with at home. and for all of you who are so worried about the terrorists, yeah, we're safer with the religious right in charge. yep, that's really going to help the problems with terrorists.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041103/us_nm/election_california_stemcells_dc_7 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A controversial California ballot measure that would fund a decade of stem cell research with $3 billion in state money was headed for a resounding victory on Wednesday, initial returns showed. The initiative, which was endorsed by popular California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) in a move that put him at odds with his Republican party and the Bush administration, was carrying 59 percent of the vote with about 74 percent of precincts reporting. Backers of the measure say the funding program would jump start scientific work that could help cure diseases and establish California as a hub for leading-edge research on a par with Singapore and Britain. The stem cell measure had been closely watched nationally, and attracted even wider attention after the sudden death of paralyzed actor and stem cell research advocate Christopher Reeve. Meanwhile, actor and "Passion of the Christ" filmmaker Mel Gibson came out against the measure, which had also been opposed by the Catholic church and groups that argued it would divert money from more urgent causes. The California ballot initiative would establish a pool of money that would dwarf other U.S. public funding for such research. The measure, known as Proposition 71, would float $3 billion in tax-exempt bonds to set up an Institute for Regenerative Medicine and fund 10 years of research. It would also establish a constitutional right within California to conduct stem cell research while outlawing research on reproductive cloning.

his mommy?

quit worrying. the US was morally bankrupt a long time ago. lets just enjoy the ride what's Osama going to do? repossess all the SUVs?

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002068417_webstorm20.html this story mentioned there was a solo climber rescued. hope it wasn't lambone and if it was i'm glad it was a rescue not a recovery.

i for one would feel so much better knowing that the Shrub is working hard to defend the freedom of japanese climbers to freeze to death on el cap. where's fox's solid journalism when you need it. i hope that, in spite of horrors of bad journalism, YOSAR is able to help all those stuck in that crap weather.

you know everclear and kittens is one thing but clearly the crack and goats takes this post right over the line to spray. tsk tsk tsk

Snowbyrd, We finally got our buts over Teiton a couple of weeks ago. We went to royal columns. There's a ton of stuff you should be able to follow there. I liked it better than vantage. The cracks seemed to take gear better. I had less of sense that my gear was about to be "spit out" of the crack. The ratings are definitely more stout than vantage. We went on a Sunday and the place was pretty busy. I wouldn't count too much on getting away from the crowds if you choose Royal Columns. Perhaps some of the other areas thought. We'll definitely be going back. It's a great place to go for a day of moderate crack climbs.

sorry but no matter what the letters say, i'm always the bitch and iaxx couldn't even lick my boots. my man doesn't listen to vanilla ice!
