The GOP has released a statement purporting to want to "bury" Paul Hackett, the Democratic Iraq War veteran and Congressional candidate.
In the race tomorrow for a Congressional seat in Ohio's conservative 2nd district, tough-talking Democrat Paul Hackett is not backing down from his harsh rhetoric toward George Bush regarding the Iraq war. Now the GOP has released a statement purporting to want to "bury" the Democratic Iraq War veteran. Certainly this must be making Republicans cringe behind the scenes.…

If you take your last two comments, you're saying that Democrats both want to nationalize health care and do nothing for the uninsured.

"On his website, on his flyers, and in his commercials, no where can it be seen where he really stands on issues or that he's even a Democrat."
Not to rain on your parade here Johnny, but most commercials, websites and flyers of any candidate don't usually list their party. Go to most any website of a member of the Senate or the House. You usually won't find party affiliation on the front page. And in most political commercials, they don't mention their party affiliation until the end of the ad where they're legally required to.
Look, I know you're scared about 2006 and that's why you feel compelled to make things up, but you can always come over to the good side of the force. It's never too late. Look at Darth Vader, he switched right before he died.

You nailed the issue right on, I *am* scared about 06. I know full well when the Dems lose more seats in the Senate and lose again in the House, we're all screwed. Why?
It's not policy, it's corruption. I'm honest, I know that the GOP are politicians first, and a distant second men of priniciple. They'll be looting the treasury just like the Dems do in Illinois. Conservativism? Hah. The GOP is just as corrupt and the DNC, except occasionally they throw us a bone.
In the end, when the DNC gets wiped out, the GOP will become just as useless. So yeah, I'm afraid.

Dave, You want people to live on $7 an hour and have no affordable education and healthcare. Watch and see what happens when those people find a leader that is not adverse to violence. But hey, you'll have em in prison camps before it gets to that, right Dave? You and your kind care nothing for your fellow man, only your bank accounts. Your not going to be able to eat that money when the time comes, Dave. Oh yea I forgot, the Churches are gonna make everything better, right Dave? Please go away.

Note, the Democrats ran this country for 40 years, they had their chance, and they delivered nothing.

except of course equal rights, social secutriy, desegragation, america rising to a superpower, winning wwii, right to choose, going into space, voting rights act, . . .
of course this is nothing if you are a conservative because these are the things you would like to get rid of.

History DOES repeat itself.........
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt ...
If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."
Written in a letter by Thomas Jefferson after the passage of the Sedition Act in 1798

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Quoted in 1918, by REPUBLICAN President Theodore Roosevelt...what would Teddy say now?

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
Tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacificists for lack of patriotism and endangering the country.
It works the same in every country."
