do you think jack bauer has met murphy brown or any of the characters in tom clancy's novels? "During a recent legal conference, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia defended television character Jack Bauer, the “maverick federal agent” who “routinely tortures terrorists.” The conservative jurist stuck up for Agent Bauer, arguing that fictional or not, federal agents require latitude in times of great crisis. “Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. … He saved hundreds of thousands of lives,” Judge Scalia said. Then, recalling Season 2, where the agent’s rough interrogation tactics saved California from a terrorist nuke, the Supreme Court judge etched a line in the sand. “Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?” Judge Scalia challenged his fellow judges. “Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I don’t think so." “So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes.” dan quayle: "It doesn't help matters when primetime TV has Murphy Brown -- a character who supposedly epitomizes today's intelligent, highly paid, professional woman -- mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another "lifestyle choice." and simple dan again: Dan Quayle is also an admirer; once, in a speech on the Senate floor, Quayle advocated funding the ASAT antisatellite weapon on the grounds that it was what won the war in Red Storm Rising.

Just because YOU say that Moore and Odonnell represent the Democratic Party doesn't mean ANYTHING. Just like ME saying that David Duke represents the Republican Party doesn't mean ANYTHING. Moore or Odonnell or Dukes couldn't get elected to ANY national office, no matter HOW much they spent on their campaigns. They might be able to find some District somewhere where they could get elected to the House, but even that little Kucinich guy was able to do that. I, nor MOST Democrats agree with people WAY on the left, just like YOU and MOST Republicans don't agree with people WAY on the right. (I hope)
