Reply #66: I don't find any of these positions

particularly difficult to comprehend. Sometimes I too think the rhetoric goes to far and harms our overall credibility. I still find myself somewhere in the middle...I believe Bush and Co HAVE committed war crimes, though it's doubtful they'll ever face any sort of real charges for it. For one, they knew enough to refuse to sign on to the World Court. How prophetic of them.

HOWEVER, I think there are valuable insights throughout the spectrum. Election fraud is an issue--how LARGE of one I cannot say. I want to tear my hair out every time I read a post which suggests "none of this matters...they can just steal the vote with Diebold...Diebold...Diebold..."

Same with the 9/11 conspiracy theories. We have MIHOP and LIHOP folks in abundance and, okay, I'll give them their space. I remember that day, when I got over my initial shock, my first thought was "how convenient."

I expected Bush to use it to his advantage. Whether his administration was complicit or not, he certainly ran with it just as I'd expected.

Personally I don't like DINOs in ANY state. They totally screw up the dialogue and stab their constituents in the back by voting against their interests. It's pretty shabby representation if they're willing to do harmful things just to get re-elected because the average voter is misinformed or too bound by ideology to even recognize where their own best interests lie.
