I haven't heard any Democrats stand up and say if they was elected they would work to repeal the Patriot Act. Yet half of what most Democrats whine about was made possible through the Patriot Act.

I haven't heard any Democrats stand up and say if they are elected they would work to turn the boys loose over in Iraq and get it over with and bring them home. Enough of this pussy footing around over there let's get it done, there's enough fire-power over there to get the job done we just aren't utilizing it properly.

I haven't heard any solutions on Iran mentioned by any top Democrats. What's up with that?

I haven't heard the Democrats stand up and demand answers on our high gas even though we have more gas and oil in stockpiles than we have had in 20 years.

I haven't heard any top Democrats come out on illegal immigration and any plans to seal off our southern border. All I heard from Kennedy is more amnesty bullshit.

I could go on and on. To be fair no Republicans are saying much about any of the above either. From my viewpoint standing here in the heartland looking at Washington all I see is more of the same shit just a different day. And you want me to vote for a liberal let's outlaw all the guns because I invented the internet and I'll sign the Kyoto Treaty Al Gore just to have more of the same shit and lose a few more of my basic rights. Tell me my friend, what will be different other than a renewed assault on my 2nd amendment rights? To be fair under the current adminstration all my other rights have been assualted with the passage of the Patriot Act but the Democrats let that happen. Instead of filibustering on something worthwhile like the Patriot Act they chose the Supreme Court nominees which was a losing battle from the start.

You want my vote, get back to the middle ground and give me someone to vote for.
I've tried to respond to your questions, <a href="http://scandal.atspace.com/democrat.html">HERE</a>, scout, FWIW....

Note that almost all of the 138 congressfolk and 10 senators who voted against the final version of Patriot II were democrats...their names are all displayed on the linked page.....

191 house democrats voted to take the most punitive stance to deal with illegal immigrants, last December. even after "Sensenbrenner (R) himself tried to remove the felony provisions from his bill". The recently rejected senate version was a compromise of bills by McCain and Kennedy.

Anyway...please read it....there is a party position on Iraq, and on Energy, and former Sec'ty of State Albrights advice to Bush on the next steps to take with regard to Iran.

Please answer one question.....where are the democrats "to the left"...or not more "in the middle".....compared to what?? On what issues?? It can't be on overall spending...or on growth of government.....or on backing the CIA or the military.....can it??? Please explain why you are so reluctant to vote for the candidates of a party with a proven record...going back 20 to 40 years...that is fairer and better than the republican record. Is your reluctance all about the BJ and the stained dress....is that it???
