		<description>The problem is that they always attach junk to needed items.  That is how they got GHWB to break no new taxes.  We need rules that nothing can be added to a bill, no pork and no items not associated with the bill.

Too early for me to pick one.  I have not decided who to support but I know who I will not.  They started this whole process way too early.</description>

		<description>I think line item veto would screw both parties over.  If there&#039;s an item in a bill so bad that it needs to be taken out piece by piece then  the Pres should just send it on back, and they have many times.

The term RINO makes me laugh a little.  You got a favorite candidate for president yet?</description>

		<description>What is wrong with that?  You cannot claim victory for something if you have to sneak it into a different bill to get it passed.  They should have sent it up on its merits and this is just another reason why we need a line item veto.  Most businesses pay more than the federal minimum wage (unless they use ILLEGALS) and if I owned a business and the government told me that I had to pay employees a certain amount that is what I would pay them.

The free market should decide wages.

As for Hillary, if you think she knows concession you are deluding yourself.  She is all for her way or no way.  She blows whatever way the wind is going and is a poll driven candidate but when she has her mind made up she will not concede.  This is why people are afraid of her and afraid to talk badly about her.  She is like the SS with her people.

Why anyone would work for her is a mystery to me.  One outburst to me and I might smack her head off her shoulders.  She is fortunate not to have me working for her.  She is Satan in the flesh.

If America elects her we deserve what we get and I don&#039;t want to hear &quot;it is Bush&#039;s fault.&quot;  I cannot support her in any way shape or form.  I will not vote for Rudy either.  He is a RINO and I do not trust him.</description>

		<description>&quot;They pushed the minimum wage increase through by tacking it on to a war funding bill because it would not have gotten enough support to go to the president otherwise.&quot;

What&#039;s wrong with that?  The Dems acted like when they swept both the House and the Senate that they&#039;d just do what they wanted without a fight, but of course that&#039;s not true.  A good politician knows when to back down and when to hold firm to get things worthwhile done.  This is a perfect example.  If everything they stood for was supported fully by the other side there&#039;d be no need for sides.  

Which is close to some stuff I&#039;ve been thinking about lately.  One of the reasons Hillary Clinton doesn&#039;t have 100% support of the Democrats is because she&#039;s a good politician and this means having to make concessions sometimes.  If you want an unwaivering politician you can go for Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich but there&#039;s a reason they&#039;ll probably never make it out of Congress.

I think the same can be said about Guiliani.  He&#039;s fairly moderate by Republican standards.  This angers many people, including leaders from the Religious Right.  But I while I don&#039;t like him I think he&#039;s much more suited for a national seat than Bush is.  I digress though....</description>

		<description>Sure they can vote on post offices but to say they have accomplished more because of it is inane.  They pushed the minimum wage increase through by tacking it on to a war funding bill because it would not have gotten enough support to go to the president otherwise.

I think we agree on more than we disagree, we just see a different approach to getting there.  I was not trying to insult by saying you are partisan (I am as well) at least you take a stance and stick with it, unlike many politicians from both parties.</description>

		<description>The Dems can vote on post offices if they want. That may be kine or meaningless, but isn&#039;t that part of their job?  Take my job for example.  A large part of my work week is spent checking and writing e-mail.  That can look pretty useless but in the long run that&#039;s part of my job since that&#039;s how I communicate with my team.  Saying they voted for a post office is not an argument that other parts of their job are as equally mundane.

I&#039;m hoping this is the last time you bring up my previous argument that I did not know much about the Clinton years.  When we met I considered myself independent who favored some Democrats.  I was campaigning for Dennis Kucinich, I was going to Ralph Nader speeches, I was quizzing Wesley Clark about DU munitions.  But that was years ago.  As the years and arguments have gone by, I have read a lot more, seen a lot more, and just plain old talked to people who are older than me about politics.

You bring up Whitewater and other stuff like any of those things aside from the Lewinsky sex scandal were ever proven with hard evidence or lead to actual criminal charges against the Clintons.  You can list and list the things you think they have done, but I&#039;d argue that more recently a lot of that is single anonymous sourced stuff that the media runs with because they need drama to make money.  Is there anything more to Hillary taping her opponents than the word of a single anonymous person who claims to have been there when it was taped? I tried to find out but I haven&#039;t seen anything else.

I agree with you that the Dems had the power to end the war but haven&#039;t, and it&#039;s what I&#039;m most disappointed in since the Democrats took office.  They have voted at least 6 times in both chambers to change direction on the war but this was put down by fillibuster most of the time.  They just could not get it done and I think they may pay dearly for it in the next election.

Look, I don&#039;t take it as personally as you suggest, but I am very partisan.  I think the Democrats have pushed through legislation that means something to me, and that pleases me.  It obviously has the opposite affect on you since you care little about most of the issues important to me.  The disapointing fact is that only one of their goals has become actual law, so to earn any respect from me in the coming months they need to keep on pressing to get that stuff through and past Bush.  Unfortunately Bush cares very little about most of the issues important to me as well, so that&#039;s a shame.

I think there is very little evidence to suggest the Iraq war has done anything but make us less safe and less respected overseas.  I think the fact that we haven&#039;t been attacked since 9/11 speaks volumes about our efforts here at home to intercept and prevent attacks from happening on our land and our intelligence gathering abilities, but says very little about the work we&#039;ve done in Iraq or Afghanistan.</description>

		<description>Great post Big Dog, to know the Dems actually think they do good, any good at all is a joke. God help us if they get their way on everything that want to do TO America, they will turn us into a third world country.</description>
