Since comparing Republicans vs. Democrats is an argument that never goes anywhere,
let%u2019s instead compare Democrat vs. Democrat,, let%u2019s say Clinton(s) vs. J.F. Kennedy.

The Clinton(s) and current Democrat philosophy on governing/government is:
%u201CBig Government will provide for you%u201D, &
%u201CFrom cradle to grave, Big Government will take care of you%u201D, &
%u201CIt takes a Village%u201D(Big Government)

Whereas J.F. Kennedy said :
%u201CAsk not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country%u201D

These two philosophies (both Democrat) are complete polar opposite of each other.

I would much rather be a J.F. Kennedy democrat than a Clinton democrat.

Sounds to me like the NeoCommies and MoveOn.org have hijacked a Democrat party that I once knew and respected.

Those poll numbers prove that most people aren''t really paying attention.

This is a red letter day for me...I was called a "fundamental[sic] Muslim" by singingrick and now his sister in spirit, hopetrumps, calls me a limey...speakingup called me an "IRA terrorist" yesterday. Its little wonder that these clowns and others like them bought into the Washington Regime''s tall tales and fabrications regarding the WMDs and al Qaeda links of Saddams''s Iraq.

The point is little sister--NOT that he climbed in the coffin with his son--the point was that he crafted the tale to win friends and support...telling it to one as though he were the only one ever told, then to another...It is not the genuiness of the grief that bothers me, its the fact that he tried to turn it into what he imagined was a marketable asset.

We limeys know all about love...its ''avin'' r bums spanked by a ''ooker dressed up like a Japanese school girl...

Here''s the PERFECT SCENARIO:

1. Flip-flop-flop-flip Romney and Family Values Giuliani knock each other out of contention for the Repug nomination.

2. O-BOMBA and Conniving Calculating Clinton knock each other out of contention for the Dem nomination.

3. The country then focuses on quality candidates who are worthy of being elected president.

THEN WHO IS WORTHY OF THIS OFFICE? AND WILL IT BE A ROYAL POSITION AS WITH RESIDENT BUSH, BY NOT DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION BUT CHANGING IT?
AND HOW WILL THE NEW OFFICE DEAL WITH A CORRUPT AND SPINELESS CONGRESS?
IF THIS WAS ON A BLACKBOARD I WOULD SAY ERASE IT AND START OVER!

Edwards is a canned ham. Kerry almost didn''t pick him as a running mate after hearing him tell the same story he had told someone else word for word--including the ''you''re the only person I''ve ever told this to''--about being so distraught over the death of his son that he climbied into the casket with his dead son and hugged him...while one empathizes with his loss...it is hard to trust someone who so shamelessly markets himself in such a manner.

If only Frillery really believed in Big Government taking care of everyone. The "New Democrats" (perhaps we might call them neo-liberals) actually believe in Big Government taking care of the rich and the elite, while sermonizing and moralizing about the poor as they rape the middle class. Usually they trot out some super-fat ignorant semi-savage with brown skin or female, and give them a few thousand dollars and a new house, then back to raping the middle class and giving to the super-rich.

Killery has no intention of Big Government helping everyone, just helping itself to more power, more spying on Americans, more domination. You have to listen to what this fraudulent b*imbo says - people tend to imagine vicious and amoral creeps are someho not as bad as their words. Before his election, many people thought Adolph Hitler was only exaggerating in Mein Kampf, of course he wasn''t. He did precisely the evil that he said he would.

Filthy Clinton has stated quite cleary her violent and warlike intentions, to the extent of threatening to drop nuclear bombs on the middle east, I guess for the sake of Israel or something. I suspect we will find neo-liberal to be as evil, stupid, and corrupt and neo-conservatives.

processor2 Dead on right! Kennedy was no angel and many things surfaced years later that indicated he played his cards close and some of his bluffs came dangerously close to disaster, but he fed the nation with the belief that we all were accountable and empowered to do for ourselves. It was unique and echoed again and again in Republican Administrations calling for the spirit of volunteerism and the thousand points of light. Democrats have fallen from that belief and no one running now is any where close to having similar attitudes. But Bush''s campaign platform was ''personal accountability and restoring integrity to the White House'', so in that regard...he just flat out lied.
