Why? Polls like this mean nothing other than to titillate the viewers. More than anything polls like this are a reflection of the type of people who visit the CNN website. Same goes for other online "polls".

Seriously, third parties are only good for canabalizing the voters on the same side of the political spectrum, and thus are counterproductive to their own interests. Case in point Ross Perot and Ralph Nader - both helped the other side of the political spectrum win. I would guess that third...

Wouldn't that be "both" or "it depends" instead of "other" ? :p

When can California break even on revenues - spending?

...and then bungrider wakes up from his wet dream.

No, looking at an unpleasant outcome and then saying therefore the reasons were not valid is just the ends justifying the means turned on its head. Most of what I heard was pacifists whining about being called unpatriotic, (setting themselves up to say "I told you so") while not providing...

That's a mighty big supposition.

Quite frankly, anyone who thinks Pete Rose does not belong in the Hall of Fame based on his baseball stats is a baseball idiot. Because the mainstream media have picked up the Pete Rose story, I can see we have a lot of baseball idiot opinions running about. By comparing a pure average hitter...

Well said. Pete Rose the player was great. He was the most prolific hitter of all time. Rose was a great player who deserves regocnition for his great play alongside the other greatest players of the game, including Shoeless Joe Jackson. Rose the father, Rose the manager, Rose the gambler are...

Gingrich for VP in 2004! :D

Charlie Hustle surely does deserve to belong in the hall of fame. What he did after his career ended shouldn't do away with all his on the field accomplishments. The question for me is when. It is interesting that multiple cases of drug abuse is forgivable yet gambling is not. Now the real...

The sad thing is that this "imbecile" President is smarter than 99% of his critics.

Well that's a good sign. Bin Laden sounds fearful that school reform will dry up or is drying up his recruits. Hopefully we can make an impact in the region fighting terrorists by helping to institute school reform in the region, though I suspect such changes may take decades before the trend...

That's not the strongest argument because it relies on the fact that anarchy applies both to man's government as well as god's government, which I don't believe the word "anarchy" was intended to cover. At any rate you end up arguing semantics. But why argue semantics when the weight of evidence...

This is one of the biggest potential sleeper crises I can think of. No upside to Musharef getting knocked off even though his rise to power was the result of a coup and he keeps putting off elections.

Yes but as a fiscal conservative, to me this is still no excuse for the dramatic upswing in spending. Clinton was never one to not grab credit where none was due. The shutdowns in the government didn't hurt either. I can't stand him on MSNBC let alone in the oval office. Buchannan gives...

I almost agree with this. The Republicans are spending so fast it is a disgrace! What we need more than a tax cut is some fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget from Bush. Rather than the interest in the crackdown on illegal drugs, what has me concerned is the doctorization of over the...

Yes if T-Rex were run over by a truck Guardian Angel would surely be hurting. :eek:

What does this have to do with the pursuit of happiness? Locke's original formulation was life, liberty and property. These are the natural rights which government exists to protect. In fact, they are the description of freedom. If a government has arbitrary rights to take your life, liberty or...
