re: The Dems continue to respond by catering to their extremists. Hardly. While the vast majority of the country wants an end to the Iraq war the Dems don't have the balls to call for a withdrawal. And look at the Republicans; they are controlled by the Neos. How many mainstream Republicans think of themselves as "neoconservatives"? You folks have the extreme covered... the Dems are struggling to stay slightly left of the middle.

"The Dems continue to respond by catering to their extremists." "Extremists" that want to leave the quagmire mistake of Iraq, return to the rule of law, to fiscal sanity and worldwide respectability and just simple COMPETENCE in government? Bring 'em on!

JCP, The Republicans have made the Dems look like the party of superior, adult, competent, thoughtful leadership Actually, they haven't. The Dems continue to respond by catering to their extremists. What you call extremists are actually 54% of the population.......I think the more proper term would be that the Dems are "catering to their" centrists. "President Bush's unpopularity -- due largely to the war in Iraq -- seems likely to affect GOP candidates in congressional midterm elections in November, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday. Fifty-five percent of 1,004 Americans said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who has supported Bush administration policies, according to the poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CNN. Forty percent said they would be more likely." Message 22786554 Of course compared to the party boys of the GOP, the Dems probably do look like extremists to you......extremely normal: "McGavick wrote online that he and his current wife, Gaelynn, were driving home from several parties in which friends toasted them as a new couple. He said he was stopped by police and cited for driving under the influence of alcohol when he "cut a yellow light too close." The police report states the officer observed a car "drive through a steady red signal" at an intersection a couple miles north of the District of Columbia, where McGavick, then 35, worked for the American Insurance Association. When McGavick rolled the window down on his white Mazda Miata, a strong odor of alcohol greeted the officer, according to the report. McGavick told the officer he had "two, maybe three beers" during the previous five hours. The officer had McGavick get out of the car for sobriety tests. The report described McGavick as having a flushed face, slurred speech and a swaying body. His demeanor was described as polite, cooperative and sleepy. McGavick failed sobriety tests in which the officer moved his finger side to side and up and down. McGavick did better when he was asked to walk heel-to-toe on a line and stand on one leg. After the tests, the officer handcuffed McGavick and drove him to the Bethesda, Md., police station. McGavick fell asleep while waiting to have his blood alcohol level measured, according to the police report. His car was towed from the scene." heraldnet.com Are you guys running McGavick because he used to be a drinking bud of Mr. Bush?
