<<You're a far rightwinger out of touch with reality.>>

I don't believe I am. I'm a Republican and I have a willingness to use our military in an effort to correct a region of the world thats been F**cked up for 2000 years. I have a willingness to use WMD to achieve this goal.

Aside from that I support Abortion rights (though I think its a rotten form of birth control), A degree of gun control (hand guns / assault rifles) and legalization of some drugs.

You're just unwilling to listen to ANY reason as it applies to war, deficits etc. etc. If you were I think you'd have a better idea of who I was and a better understanding of some things that could not be avoided.

Augustus,

kerry spirit says things for effect. She has no intent to debate an issue or discuss options. Her approach is in your face to move the argument away from kerry and into the nether world of nothing.
I once worked with a person like that. In order to avoid a scrutiny of a serious issue the person would choose an issue on the periphery and fight like hell. This would have the result of protecting the issue of vulnerability from investigation.

Ms kerry spirit does the same thing. Rather than allow a discussion to get to the vulnerabilities of kerry she moves to periphery with idiocy. By doing so she protects kerry from a scrutiny where he is vulnerable.

It is valid approach for argumentative attack. It does nothing for understanding or honest debate.
