    at least that is what i think, could be complete crap but yea..

    Republicans will win in 2008. Hillary isn't going to win in the general election.
    In 2012, democrats will win because by then we're going to have about 12-18 million more Mexicans voting which will end the 2 party system in this country. It will just be a one party system.

      Re: Gore for President?

      Seems like the most probable scenario if the dems win, ddr. But I don't think you can call that a doom scenario. So what if the cons win again in 2012? You won't hear me say I'm anti or pro con/dem.: I find good things with both. I just think Bush is a douche.

      Subter: ow please @ the latter remark

            Re: Gore for President?

            i read the article in time magazine, it was quite impressive. I had thought that after running for president and loosing this man would disappear, you know but he has not only survived but emerged as a much larger personality. I frankly do not think that there is any one else out there who is better than him but thats just me......

                I completely agree with you and find this is unfortunately the most likely scenario...of course, unless the democrats could find another way to blow another election, which as we all know is always possible.

                the republicans have been getting very good at messing things up to the point where the dems actually have to come in and clean it up and then they exploit the dirty work the dems have to do to get it clean.

                  A lot of the mess we are in currently could be blamed on Bill Clinton. He raised taxes to the highest levels in history, and left the country in a recession. Bush lowered taxes and brought us out of it. Clinton crippled our military through cuts in defense spending. Now we need our military, and they are being stretched beyond the breaking point. Clinton had several opportunities to capture or kill Bin Laden, and he passed. He pulled out of Somalia, and made our country look weak.

                  There were numerous mistakes made by Bill Clinton which have affected the history leading up to where we are now. You can't just lay the blame squarely on Bush, or even Republicans in general. These problems were brewing long before Bush was in office. Truthfully, both sides have some responsibility.

                    Yeah, Iras doesn't have anything to do with being stretched

                    Bush has been hunting has been chasing him for years and failed too.
                    He pulled out of Somalia, and made our country look weak.
                    Bush pulled into Iraq and made your country weak.

                      Those are half truths that people aren't buying from the Republican party any longer. People are tired of the same Republican talking points crap. I won't waste my time debating each assertion you make.

                      As for Gore running, I think he'd have a great chance of winning. I'd probably even vote for him instead of the current candidates. The current candidates don't impress any one and we need a viable candidate. I just hope Gore doesn't try to run the same campaign he did in 2000. He should continue to fight battles and encourage people as he's done so for the last couple of years.

                      Gore could be the answer to help fight global warming, get us out of Iraq, raise taxes on the super rich, and repair the U.S reputation internationally.

                        There we go blaming the dems for doing the dirty work and while I'm at it, did we not have an early term recession with all of Reagan, Bush Sr. and Clinton as well? Let alone that Reagan had two, though I do agree that the early one was an absolute interest rate necessity and has provided many benefits going forward. Just making the point that recessions are cyclical and could only be put off for so long. Bush's economical success has nothing to do with our deficit...no that couldn't be. Frankly, Clinton and Bush tried to do it economically in quite opposite ways. One with the deficits and one without. The future will tell us how well Bush's has actually worked. Hell, in terms of economic cycles, how different has Bush's and Clinton's been during their 8 year terms? Almost identical with early recessions followed by later booms.

                        There certainly was a mistake made in our military strategy following the Cold War. Truthfully, they overshot by thinking that a more technically savvy military could overcome manpower.

                        I'm gonna go with kinky on these.

                        I didn't mean to imply otherwise. This I completely agree with.

                        Really, the only point I was trying to make is how the Republicans used to talk against big gov't and spending and how the dems were to blame for it, while the Republicans have consistently been the big spenders in office while cutting taxes, only to leave us with deficits that the dems have to clean up by both cutting spending and raising those taxes again. It's a vicious cycle and no one comes out looking good.

                                back on topic... I think Gore is a smart enough guy, certainly no worse in that department than Bush (kinda hard to be)...but right now he'd have a long way to go before getting my vote.
