Responsibility In Government:

Rebulicans have a lot of responsibilty to the American people circa 2006 and should be concerned in all the levels of income in the United States.
Not finding ways to piss people off...Including the actions of the individual.

United States and other countries should be on their best because there plenty to do than bitch and squabble...Work together to defeat any problem the BEST way it should be delt with -by everyone's decesion - in a perfect world.
Uncover the truth because our most valuable thing is time. you know?

This country is run by mostly extremists on both sides. It's run by a bunch of narcisists who would rather read their own copy than make a difference.

I have to (loosely) quote Jon Stewart who the other night put it so well. "Moderates are too busy with real life to run for office, so it's left up to a bunch of people with no lives and too much time on their hands."

That seems right on.

for the rest of the world looking in, we can't squeeze a piece of paper between both sides.

the US is probably the country with the least political extremes in the world (although i'm beginning to wonder about the uk).

i'd be interested to know what the two (or more) extremes are and how many of these people holds power.

can you claim the steadfast mantle of iran or the revolution of latin america?

america is run by middle of the road politics who share the fundamental belief in mammon. this is the main extreme in american politics, but it does not divide the country. granted, when one side gets in you get some crazy christian crap going on - but there are more extreme regimes across the world with more extreme opposition.

I agree with you that in comparison America is less divisive politically compared to other places. But that's not what was being talked about, and honestly I don't live in those countries so no, I'm not completly up to date on all other political structures. I was referring to the fact that partisan bitching is taking away time from the important issues our country needs to work on.

Dear Friend,

Just hours ago, the Senate voted on the Kerry-Feingold proposal to redeploy American combat troops out of Iraq by July 1, 2007. Thirteen Senators voted for it.

It was an important step towards ending the administration's aimless, open-ended course in Iraq and having Iraqis stand up for Iraq.

When Jack Murtha stepped up to the challenge of leadership in the House on Iraq, he was alone. Last week, 140 House members voted to support his leadership.

When we in the Senate began the fight to change course in Iraq, we too were almost alone. Today our numbers grew -- and that is progress you made happen.

First and foremost, Russ and I thank you for your support. Over the last few weeks, hundreds of thousands of you have joined our effort to bring our combat troops home. Once again, the johnkerry.com community has shown its deep commitment to fighting for a better course for America.

We ask you to join us now in honoring the strength and leadership of the Senators who stood with you:

Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI)
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), co-sponsor
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)
Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Sen. James Jeffords (I-VT)
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA)
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), co-sponsor
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)

Please call, write, or email these Senators and acknowledge their leadership on Iraq.

Let me be absolutely clear. Russ Feingold and I would have forced this vote even if the outcome were going to be 98 to 2. Ending the Bush administration's disastrous approach to this war isn't about counting votes. It isn't about legislative strategy or electoral calculation. It's about applying constant pressure to change a broken course.

It's about utterly rejecting the desperate tactics of cowardly political operatives like Karl Rove who, as John Murtha pointed out, have no qualms about telling our soldiers to "stay the course" from the comfort of their air-conditioned offices at the White House.

It's about doing what's right.

Karl Rove may worry about losing votes. It's our job to worry about young Americans losing their lives. It's our job to provide a new vision that offers real security for America while giving the Iraqis their best chance for a stable Iraq.

I will keep doing what's right on Iraq, and I won't stop until our troops are home and the future of Iraq is in the hands of the Iraqi people.

I know you'll keep working right alongside me.

Sincerely,

John Kerry
