>This is evidenced by the fact that he is willing to do what is right, even when it is not popular

What's right in your eyes may not be right in mine. Or he may be doing what's "right," but not popular because it pleases his base, such as not pushing the renewal of the assault weapons ban.

Your responses are confusing me. What is it that you think the UN is good for then? in what ways do you feel we need to subjugate ourselves to the UN? Don't you see something truly obscene about the makeup of the HRC?

I have made my position re. the UN very clear. Smarter Americans than you felt there was a need for a world body after WW II. I happen to agree with that premise; more so now than ever.

You said you don't like the freerepublic.com because they might say something to support the President. Is it reasonable to assume then that you don't like CBS, NBC, ABC< CNN, PBS, Reuters, or AP because they overwhelmingly "report" in a way that supports Democrats, and Kerry?

Sites like freerepublic are the mouthpieces for the radical right. They openly say what more mainstream Republics are afraid to say outside their homes. Their news is often not factual and is usually based on innuendo or hearsay. I don't buy my food from McDonald's........why should I get my news from the media equivalent?
