I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

I think that a fully democrat government would be the best thing to happen to the Republicans in a while.
Think 1976 all over again.
I know what you're thinking now. You think we're all gay, don't you? Think we're all just a bunch of deviant lifestyle-living same-sex having motherfuckers, am I right?

I can understand how Texas is important for the Dems, but I find it kind of funny that Hillary is already down there 3 weeks away from the primary. It kind of makes her look like nothing is important to her but getting nods in big states (like I said all along).
I give Obama credit for spending time in as many states as possible. That should show some potential voters what he's all about.
I've read that if Hillary doesn't win Texas and Ohio, she's done. She pretty much has to win decidedly to have a chance at the nod.

I think Barack gets Ohio and Wisconsin...Hillary gets Texas, thats it, and by a close margin. I love how Hillary is telling how people should be voting...you can sense how nervous she is, getting very, very negative lately. Take a guess on how much money I've donated to Obama's campaign so far?

See, this is what I have not had answered yet. So far all I see are slogans and no substance. What is your plan? What do you intend to do?

How much have you watched? He's outlined a bit on his health care plan, today he introduced his plan to boost nation wide employment, and I think his idea for foreign policy is a very refreshing and bold move...

Since Jan. 5th I've donated 300 bucks and I'll probably continue until he gets the nod.

I have seen enough to make me realize that I have not found a "there" there. He talks of rolling back tax cuts to help pay for his healthcare plan, but as far as I can tell, he is going to need to do a lot more than that, unless we just want shitty health care. He and McCain both talk about preventative medicine as well, how healthy people will lower costs. Not so according to the latest studies. It actually INCREASES long term costs because people live longer.
What is he going to do about Social Security?
What is his plan for getting troops out of Iraq?
His foreign policy is to commence talks with nations we currently don't talk with. Ever think there was a bigger reason we don't talk to them? I am guessing there is. Probably a number of them.
Like I said earlier. I like change. But I need an idea of what the change is going to be. I am not attracted by pithy campaign slogans and inspiring orators with no substance to speak of. I need more info. Thankfully the real campaign is going to require it from both candidates.

I undertand your point about people dying faster not being a good policy, however, don't sell me a bill of goods. You are lying to me about the savings.
I am fairly certain our plan for withdrawl is currently the same, short of the focusing on Bin Laden. Problem seems to be with step 2. The Iraqi's are not quite ready to take control.
I would need to find some historical perspective on the foreign policy issue. We have had the same policy for a long time (including your hero Bill).

Werent we talking to North Korea during Clintons term and got them to stop producing nukes?As I recall when GWB took his hard line approach they doubled their arsenal.He then went back to Clintons strategy and they stopped again.
I am fairly certain that they both had failed policies. One called it a "Freeze" the other calls it disablement. Both failed. I can find any number of articles touting successes or failures of either of them.
THe short version is that neither of them worked. Lil' Kim will do whatever his crazy ass wants to.
