Points: 25,380, Level: 96 | Level up: 97%, 970 Points needed | | McCain is a sheep in wolve's clothing. He'll never get the republican nomination.
As for the prisoners, I could care less, really. I guess I'm supposed to have some feelings of innocent until proven guilty, but I don't. I could care less if they rot in jail. I guess that makes me a heartless bastard. So be it. |

Points: 14,720, Level: 78 | Level up: 79%, 130 Points needed | | Unfortunately there are very few possible candidates who could win. Lets look at the possibilities.
John Cox,Alan Bunch, are the two announced candidates.
Bill Frist, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Chuck Hagel, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, Mitt Romney, George Allen, Sam Brownback, Tom Tancredo, and Tommy Thompson, are considered other possible candidates.
Mark Sanford, Rick Santorum, Jeb Bush, Mike Pence, Condoleezza Rice, Elizabeth Dole, Bill Owens, and Mike Rounds, have also been mentioned.
I'm not trying to be a wise-ass here but this is not a very confidence inspiring crew.
Now that many Republicans are aware of the injustices in this administration, sick of being on the wrong side and are against the war in Iraq, McCain maybe the only Republican that could actually win!

The majority of Americans disagree with your views. Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you. Quote: |

Now alias, you won't be trying to change the subject again? What about the candidates?

Now these people who aren't charged are going to be. It is now the law and they will either be released or judged guilty.
I agree with your concerns about Bush. I think there is only one way to slow down his steamroller government and that is to vote Democrat on Nov. 7th.
I know this idea probably bothers the shit out of you but think of it this way.... McCain may run two years from now and this is the only way to put the brakes on the current policies. | Actually, voting Democrat doesn't bother me anymore. I would vote Democrat from here on out to make sure another "Compassionate Conservative" doesn't get into office. Some Republicans need a reality check. Plus, I'm starting to lean more towards being an Independent, if the Republican party won't go back to it's original values.

What about the candidates? | So I'm heartless and anti-American because YOU cannot point to any injustices by this administration after accusing them of injustices. Tell me what injustices the majority of Americans disagree with me on. |

If you don't know how I feel about the choices made by this administration and what I think are injustices, you haven't heard a thing I said, since you've been here. Why bother going into it all again. I'm here to make points and learn, while you seem to be here just to defend your Republican's poor choices and try to discredit any views that don't agree with this administration. I'm not here to argue about apples vs. oranges. You are anti-American because your writings usually indicate your misunderstanding of what this country stands for. Your writings are rarely anything but words stolen from the patented Republican script.
Has it occured to you that your pushing of the fear factor is contributing to the very thing the terrorists are trying to achieve? Terror and fear. Chaney has just said terrorists are trying to break the will of the American people. Quit helping them with your opinionated paranoid writing. Some may incorrectly think you are on the wrong side(terrorist supporter, I don't dare say sypathizer because you seem to have very little of that for anyone).
Now, try addressing the issue of these candidates instead of once again trying to change the subject. If not, you can have the last word because we all know what your going to say, concerning this administration, anyway.

Since when did killing the enemy of America who wants to kill me make me anti-American?
There is no terrorist threat? Now you sound like Michael Moore. Tell me, when did the terrorists surrender?
Okay, since you don't want to rehash all the supposed injustices, give me just one.
