It is not reported because they are not using it the way the R's did in 1994. The Contract with America became the focus of our whole election strategy in 1994. The Dems have not followed our lead and nationalized the election. Other than "anyone but Bush" the Democrats have no real national strategy.
PLUS: As I have asked many times can anyone give me a positive reason to vote Democratic? So far the only reasons people seem to give is the Dems are not Bush. But people won't rally around that type of effort.
Right... so you asking us for PROOF your beloved bush did lie. than proof us the he is an honest folk... I don't want other people words, and bias news article... prove me IRAQ had WMD and prove the al Qaeda had connection with IRAQ with Facts? so we could agree on and make sense not some tweaking with biggest ass words so you could try look smart. And that IRAQ was planning to use WMD against U.S.A. All I remember bush/Mr. colin/rumsfeld on TV claiming IRAQ was a threat to U.S and IRAQ has WMD and while inspection didn't find jack sh!t... if so where the fck is the WMD they claim they had? Just disappear in thin air right? Or maybe saddam dump into is shinny gold toilet. I mean come on if there was WMD should have been hammer over and over in the media. Maybe bush didn't lied straight to our face but sure hell tweak the living sh!t out of why we invade IRAQ... I wish a country would try invade us... oh no we have nuke ready to launch. Bah.
I notice a lot people in here try there best to show how did bush administration tweak there way into IRAQ but no I guess you want to hear it from the horse mouth.. yeah the be the day when politician admit they lied.
Just remember, if you vote Dem, you get Nancy Pelosi as the house leader - that's right, the same piece of trash that marched side by side with a card carrying member of NABMLA in california.
well, at least she has Mark Foley's vote.
well, at least she has Mark Foley's vote.
Once again I'm going to vote for myself for every office via write-ins. Only I know how to run a country.

as opposed to having Dennis Hassert for a house leader, who's already proven that he's willing to look the other way in the face of pedophilia if it means protecting the republican party at the cost of protecting kids?
btw... the pat buchannan nancy pelosi / nambla charge is totally baseless unless you ignorantly believe that all homosexuals are pedophiles. I mean, I lived with a pedophile for 6 months in college (I didn't know it at the time). does that somehow make me some sicko?
The Foley scandal has opened this race bigtime in favor of the Democrats. The Democrats will without question take control of the House. The Senate is the only real worry for them at this point.

I wouldn't crack the champangne yet. Not to say that you're wrong or that it wont happen, but the polls say otherwise. The national polls say that people are fed up with the Republicans. The approval ratings on congress as a whole are even lower. Hell, I'd answer negative to that too. But I saw on TV the ABC/Washington Post poll... When asked if they approved of their individual congressperson... 60% said yes.
Link... and buried waaaaaaayyyy down
Well, look at russia, look how easily a population can be seduced by a criminal ex-kgb agent. Putin is severely popular in russia, sadly.
That country is in so much touble it's not even funny.
I like how you ignore 3.
Don't know about the drugs.
I do know you have a freakin' huge deficit.
4. Your image is sooo much worse than before W Bush entered office. There can be no doubt what-so-ever about that. Even you should know that.

This has nothing to do with Russia. Journalists aren't being murdered here for being critical of the current leadership. And it's not a question of being seduced by the element currently in power. It's a direct reflection of the Dems total lack of a pro-active alternative to the Reps. "We're not them" is not a rallying cry.
But you're right in your second comment. Our leadership sucks. On both sides. The Rs are headed in the wrong direction and the Ds have NO direction. In the end the public will probably fall back to their stereotypical views of both parties and most will vote R in the fear that the Ds will raise their taxes.

That is ridiculous. Clinton was superb on foerign affairs. How soon people forget the countless times Clinton almost single-handedly dragged the Palestinians and Israelis back to the table for peace talks. He was able to do that through the sheer force of his magnetic personality and the fact he took the time to establish personal relationships with Arafat and the Israeli leaders. And then he left office, Buish took over, and completely dropped the ball. Things have been going downhill between the Palestinians and Israelis ever since. The fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats/ liberals think foreign affairs acutally matters because we live in a community of nations. Whereas for Republicans it is an afterthought, and only matters in so far as you occasionally need to invade countries or topple democratically elected governments in order to secure USA interests.

Clinton got them to the table... doesn't change the fact that absolutely nothing was accomplished. But hey... it's the thought that counts right? And as far as those relations going down hill... Down hill from where? When have Isreali/Palestinian relations ever been positive?
You're not seriously implying that Saddam was democratically elected are you?

When the parties at "at the table" they are not fighting with guns. It doesn't mattrer if they are having peace talks for 50 years, it's better than the on/ off again armed conflict we see now.
Saddam isn't the only foreign government the USA has toppled or tried to topple in the past few decades. CIA funded death squads and coup d'etat in latin america didn't exactly win your country many fans.
interesting to see this discussion as an outsider
it seems to me that there is not much difference between democrats and republicans.
you guys need a strong 3th party and a bit more ideology injected into both the democrat and republican party. Now both parties seem to have members from the (far) right to the (far) left.

I repeat: Stupid people - really, really stupid people.
People who are so mindlessly ignorant that they accept the corruption of todays GOP as the status quo.
Fools who are willing to roll over and play dead in the political arena because the lack of direction and folly of the leadership
has somehow convinced them that somehow the Democrats are to blame for all the failures of the current Administration.
Perople who are too stupid and partisan to question why the GOP can repeatedly lie and get away with it.
Mindless zombies who vote on hot-button issues, not because it has any benefit for the population and the country,
but polarizing, fear driven rumours and inuendos pushed by shills who are undermining the intent of the Constitution.
Religious fanatics who's agenda is to start the war that will hasten Armageddon and bring the reward of 'the Rapture' under Bush.
I have been a registered member of the Republican Party since 1964, and I will not condone the present crooks
and theives and their grip of the GOP to extend their flawed agenda on the country any further.
I will no longer vote the blind, monolithic party line, it doesn't move the country forward on any path of progress
& it only attempts to entrench the will of backwards looking fearmongers and racists that want to put the country
back to a time prior to the civil rights movements of the 60's, re-live the 40's and 50's.
Hiding your head in the sand, refusing to deal with a world that continues to evolve towards the future while
refusing to deal with any country that isn't paying millions to their parties coffers and blaming others for
the failure of their leadership isn't what a democratic society is all about.
Again - really, really stupid people will vote to keep the GOP in power, same as always.
Hmmm, hard for you liberals to concede that the kid was 18 at the time this happened because it negates your entire argument. Its understandable.
are you some kind of moron? look at the individual poll races, the Democrats are ahead in nearly every single race. and their lead keeps widening as this Foley scandal keeps going.

I agree with basically everything in your first paragraph. People who vote the party line without consideration to the specific candidates are stupid. But that applies equally to both parties. As does single issue voting and voting on hot button topics. And obviously anyone who just accepts the corruption in the R party isn't thinking clearly.
Of course, blindly believing that because one party is bad the other party is automatically good isn't too bright either.
But what about the person who feels that their congressman or senator isn't a part of that corruption? What if that person feels that their congressman or senator has done a good job for their state or district? And what if that congressman or senator happens to be a Republican? Are you stupid to reelect that person? NO!

A lot of that would be their personal perception of what is true and what they think is true.
Too many voters will cast their vote in the thinking that they don't want to vote for someone who might lose
even though that candidate is really the candidate that could do them the most good.
Hot-Button, single issue voters who are ignorant to facts are what got us here in the first place.
All those Evangelicals that rushed out last time to vote for Bush because Televangelist Hagee told them
that if they kept Dubya in power it would hasten the second coming of the Lord - and they could experience
the Rapture and reside in the Kingdom of Heaven, and because they were stupid enough to believe him.
Of all the countries in the world that have the chance to vote in a democratic election, historically the US voter is the least informed.
That's why attack adds work for the really, really stupid people - they don't know the facts.
Is that you, Brian Ross? :laugh:
The media is attempting the same BS they did with the 2004 Election. Convince us that the race is over, Dems have won, and keep as many Republican voters home on Election Day as possible. But, just like then, it will fail miserably.
