"and they think whatever they say is fact. It really makes me sad knowing people can be easly brain washed by liberal talking points and by some blowhard spewing an opionion with NO facts to back it up. If most people educated themselves and knew some facts about issues and used some common sense i am totally convinced Bush would win by a landside in Nov."

I'm sorry but I'd have to respectfully disagree with the above statement. We only hear sound bites from this administration. The RNC was very low on content and very high on ??? well they were excited. We are now more hated by many in the world than we were befor the cowboy started swaggering around with his six guns.

I'm a veteran and I too took an oath to defend the constitution. This constitution is being eaten away in big chunks lately and not in ways I like. Our rights to free speach cannot be confused by the President as unpatriotic! When in our history has the arguement been "if you disagree with me your a (socialist/communist/traitor/rabel-rouser/sinner)" we're on a sloap.

Also do those "prisoners in Cuba" deserve a trial for alleged crimes if there are allegations against them? Or are they less worhty of this because they aren't Americans? Just a thought.

I consider myslef a Christian. I am a moral conservative i.e.: pro-life, anti-rainbow coalition, etc. but I'm also progressive in my approach to how we as a nation can help each other to be the best country on earth. Firmly do I believe the statement now more than ever that: "if you tell a lie often and loud enough it becomes the truth". The mean spirited politics of the 1980's, 1990's and 2000's has proven this to me.

I just ask to think things through with your own minds. Don't believe the Conservative press or the Liberal press. Read the testimonies and watch the voting records on C-span.

Good luck making up your own minds.
