Right. Thanks. He did. I just remembered that Mondale lost to Reagan, and that Mondale had Ferraro on his ticket when he ran against Reagan.

Bush ran against Gore. Before that, Clinton served two four-year terms. It's true that George H.W. Bush was elected President when he ran against Mondale, and that the Republicans controlled the Executive Branch for the 8 years prior under Reagan. How this relates to George W. Bush's...

It's only happened once where a President served three terms, it's not George W. Bush that did it (it's Franklin D. Roosevelt), and it was only until the passage of the 22nd Amendment to the constitution that presidents were constitutionally barred from serving more than two consecutive terms.

That's some tortured logic there. Let me tell you that right now... I guess Fox News is part of the liberal media, too, since they report the same low approval ratings for Bush.

Bush has the lowest approval rating (27% to 30%, varying in the last few months) of any president since Richard Nixon just prior to Nixon's resignation in the midst of the Watergate Scandal. He is loathed by independents, and the only core support he finds is amongst he most stalwart right...

I agree with you, and this is one of many reasons I am coming down much harder on the right than the left this election cycle. Bush has been a disaster, and very few in the GOP, including McCain, have challenged him on some of his more disastrous policies. Moreover, it is the Republican...

But once fertilization of the egg occurs, the zygote begins a process of continual and continuous miotic cell division, which leads to embryonic formation. In other words, I have trouble in differentiating (no pun intended given cell differentiation) between an embryo and zygote. I am not...

It's always refreshing to see reasonable people from all ideologies point to truth. Palin can no longer choose the luxury of claiming 'foul.' Her record is fair game now, in all its splendid glory. People expecting privacy who accept VP nominations should be aware of the scrutiny they will...

The Republicans say most is well with the U.S., McCain states to this day that the economy is doing fine, and his former economic advisor said that America is a nation of 'whiners,' and that the only recession we have is a 'mental one.' In fact, Republicans proclaim that all is well with...

Where does 'the right' draw a definitive distinction? Is there a consensus as to when life begins? Embryonic stem cell research is taboo for them. Is it only after fertilization of the egg (or the moment of)? It's my understanding that the right believes that once the egg is fertilized...

On the abortion issue, which, let's all admit it, is probably the most determinative issue as to how individuals will vote - Hasn't Palin actually explicity said that even in cases of rape or incest, she would not allow an exception to legally allow for an abortion? I am not making a...

Just ask Wensink if he supports Cheney. If not, he may at least be consistent (if nothing else). If so, he's a hypocrite and dishonest.

Don't knock the U.K. too much. Any nation that can produce Monty Python, Top Gear, Johnny Rotten, Benny Hill, James Bond, Mr. Bean and Samuel Smith's (NOT Sam Adam's which is American and not even close) Old Brewery Pale Ale is a nation that can't be that bad.

You should have just watched that Southpark episode for a cliff notes version: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UrTrzsIxcXs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed...

I tried telling my new Lenovo T61 that, with its 2GB of RAM, and its Penryn T8100 Core 2 Duo Processor (and after uninstalling all bloatware - I mean stripped down to the absolute necessities), and it wouldn't listen. Damn computer. It's happy with XP, though.

In his call for a 'revolution,' his support of Dr. Ron Paul, his enthusiastic call for dramatically smaller government in the United States, and his labeling the Republican and Democratic Parties as instruments of the problem contributing to the decline of the U.S., makes more sense than almost...

If McCain were a Democrat or other than Republican, Ann Coulter would already have said "big deal, he screwed up while flying his jet, got shot down due to his recklessness, and was held in a country club in Vietnam for a while. That hardly qualifies him as a 'hero'." Don't think she wouldn't...

Same experience as you, but with Lenovo. They wanted to charge me extra to 'downgrade' to XP, and I had a legal copy of XP on my old laptop already, so I just transferred it to my new laptop. I called MS, explained what I was doing, and got a new key # to aid in the reinstall from old to...

So you're a terrorist or one who subscribes to the terrorist rationale. Congratulations. You must really feel insecure about the country not conforming itself to your viewpoints to even remotely go down the road of threats of physical violence against other Americans. By the way, you...

At least there's no BSOD with Linux. Let's all collectively admit it: Bill Gates lucked out when the PC came into mainstream life, as he had the only game in town in terms of a viable OS. Microsoft has not been an innovator for a long, long time, and they've churned out turd after turd of...
