<Zogby also found that voters holding passports preferred Kerry 58 percent to 35 percent for Bush. Voters without passports favored Bush 48-39 percent.>

The more disconnected a person is from the world, the better Bush looks.

Kerry wasn't right. According to his own statements he participated in atrocities far worse than what happened in Iraq at the Abu Ghraib prision. Therefore, he and the way he conducted himself in a war zone was the problem. Not our goals, not our desire to see the people of Vietnam free from tyranny.

Do you think 30 years from now we should reward the Abu Ghraib soldiers who committed those ugly acts with the Presidency?

Or, are you of the mindset that he really lied about the whole thing in order to get publicity while running for congress. It's either one or the other, either he committed henious acts, few if any other soldiers did, or he is a liar. Which do you think is more probable marcus?

In regard to my support for Nixon. That's funny, I was about 8 when Nixon was in office. I don't remember them polling 8 year olds at the time in grade school, but hey, maybe I missed something. :)
