If Bush is considered 'What is Republican'...

[Ben Kenobi]

Not to get on gay marriage, but why against?

Again, i don't want to threadjack.

Quick and dirty, I see government having the responsibility to witness, and issue marriage licenses. They do not have the right to redefine.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I would say the opposite. Hard money has not proved an impediment to Bush.

Doesn't matter... he was adamently opposed to McCain-Feingold at the time. Media pressure made him sign it.

Damn, what was your state chairman's name?

Chuck Haytaian?

[Harry Tuttle]

So Imran, I guess you know Todd T?

You might be a bit older. I was out in May 2003.

I may... I have forgotten many a person from my time in Jersey politics a few years back. Probably be able to recognize him (If I knew him) by face, though.

Don't worry about it. Stewart painted him as a racist after he tried to push his way into national politics. Last I heard he was done.

Ah... in May 2003 I was in Georgia .

I ended my participation in NJ Politics in Spring of 2002. Bob Franks was/is my fav NJ politician. Though I always liked Christie Todd as well .

Ugh! I hate when people are pushed down for being 'racist' when they are anything but.

Oh, and since I'm also against Affirmative Action, does that still make me a moderate Lefty Fez?

[Harry Tuttle]

Not to familiar with the NJ politicians. My favorite is a county chairman from Niagara County near Buffalo. Good guy, ex-JAG, got a hot wife. Name of Henry Wojtaszek.

"Kerry opposed a balanced budget amendment (which I do as well, it's moronic), but that doesn't mean he's against balanced budgets in general. "

Just look at his career record. He has never been a fan of fiscal responsibility and has consistently favored greater spending on everything other then defense.

"And Bush had to be dragged kicking and screaming to Campaign Finance Reform, like Clinton had to with Welfare Reform. He doesn't back it and would love to it struck down."

Why? McCain Feingold's rules onsoft money has greatly benefited the GOP because the Dems relied on that more then the GOP.

"
And YES, I'm blaming GW for France. He could have easily soothed their pride like his father did. But, GW is no GHW."

We did make every effort to appease the French. We even accepted their initial UNSC plan that would require going back to the UNSC if a violation was found. Do you think Chirac is a moron who sways and bends at people paying respect to Gallic pride?

Chirac had his own interests in protecting his oil partner and in his own domestic popularity in opposing the war.

I wonder, Imran, would you have opposed Reagan as well? He too had a problem with deficits and with our foreign allies.


You're being short-sited. You are just looking at his campaign promises and what the initial situation will look like after Kerry is elected. You need to consider the fact you if elected you would then have a far-left Democratic liberal, one who has not been effected by Clinton's wave of Moderation, who has continued to stay to the far left (National Journal rated him the most liberal Senator in 2003), who would have the chance to leave his mark on the country for 4 or 8 years.

You are a leftist because you wanna vote for Kerry.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ah county chairs .

Bob Franks you may have heard of. He was the one who lost to Senator Corzine after getting outspent 17:1 in the general election. Senator Corzine spend $30 mill in the primaries (to knock of former Governor Jim Florid) and $30 mill in the general.

Good showing, but he wrecked his career the next year when for the race for Gov, Dom Difrancesco (who took over when Whitman went for EPA) was exposed for corruption. Franks had like a month until the primary vote. They all underestimated Schundler, who kicked the crap out of unprepared Franks. Now Franks i's a pharma lobbyist, last I heard.

Actually, he was a racist. Kind of a jackass too. Affirmative action is discrimination...

IRAQ WAR: For
ABORTION: Against, except in the case of rape (no love there my firend)
RELIGIOUS CHARITIES: Yeah sure, the more the merrier. Unless they get Pushy!
GAY MARRIAGE: Hey, gay people are people too. Let them spread the love.
TAX CUTS: Capitalism, disposable income, BOOYAHH

John Kerry isn't against affirmative action. I doubt many of his juidical appointes will be either.
