We must change our foreign policy in big ways. Deploying more troops around the world is only making the problem worse. We are fueling the hatred for these terrorists.

You're right. We should give them a hug.
Oh, and BTW - we are starting to reduce our military footprint across the globe. The problem comes in when the countries we try to pull out of start whining about the loss of revenue created by our troops and such over there.

The majority consensus here in California is that the war in Iraq is a huge disaster. People in this country are not in the same "mood" as Bush. We are as divided as ever. To think otherwise is not only moronic, but completely false. Just check the polls on every major political issue (war on iraq, economy, etc.), and we are split down the middle.

Bush is too vulnerable on too many issues, Kerry will win.
And Kerry has Voted on both side of almost every issue so he can say he can go with the flow on any popular trend. I do not see how any vet can vote for this lame though they are totally duped. He's more liberal than Teddy in defense. Now that is saying something!

Sometimes I think that California is so out there in left field that it should just drop out and become its own country. If that were to happen, instead of 50-50 split, it might be something like 25-75 in favor of Bush

I wish Dean, Sharpton, and Kucinich would pull out of the race and give Edwards a real shot at upending Kerry.

Kerry needs to do two things to win:
1. He needs to get off the tax increases. Period. It is an issue that will be brought up but he needs to distance himself from it.
2. When he gets to debate Bush he needs to completely ignore whatever the question is that is asked, look right at the President and ask him, "Where are the weapons you said were in Iraq?", and he needs to keep hammering on the President, completely ignoring any interference from the moderator or simply not accepting any answer except for, "We were wrong." from the President. It is the issue in this election and it should be. Stay away from the job creation BS, environmental diatribe, etc. Keep hammering and hammering and hammering about the weapons. Make him answer. None of this "you saw the same evidence" (he didn't), none of this, "you voted for it" crap. Make him answer the question on a national stage and don't let him off the hook like Russert did.
Yes, I'm serious.
Kerry does that and he would be finished....they will call him Dean Jr.
No he wouldn't. I am not advocating screaming like an idiot or getting pissed off. Kerry is a statesman, he knows how to handle himself. He needs to force this issue. He needs to do it on a national stage. If he does he will win.

no, arnold is gov because the last one did such a horrible job and burdened California with a huge debt. In the last election Bush got blown out of the water by Gore in California. Something like Gore 64%, Bush 30 something. California's economy has tanked under Bush. In California Bush is gonna lose by a lot more this year.

How about peace talks? Collaborating with the UN and through a joint effort of many countries try to fix the world's problems, that sound like a bad idea? Was the "threat" in Iraq, which we now know to be completely false, that imminent that Bush couldn't wait for the UN?

The UN.....soooo slllllooooowwww. Too slow for people with no patience, like Bush
So why didn't the Dub present his case based on that instead of using faulty and ficitious Intel to woo the American Public into supporting his Excellent and extremely costly Adventure in Iraq?Originally posted by: DragonMasterAlex

While I agree that patience is a virtue, the fact is that we had 12 YEARS of patience. That's 3 presidential terms worth; it's more than plenty.
In either case, the UN is worthless, and with any luck we'll be thrown out entirely. Of course, we can already tell that will never happen since, after all, the UN gets most of its cash and troops from the US. Can't give that power up, of course.
