What they fail to realize is that the liberal leaders of the world have always won the wars (in the long term), not the fascists.

5. Yup. . .
The ass they were interviewing also said "terrorist aren't going to stop until we limit other freedoms like freedom of travel." or something to that effect.

He didn't say UNLESS, he said UNTIL.

23. cancel the elections
don't be to quick to say this I heard that according to the "patriot Act" if he thinks it's in the best interest of the country, he can suspend the election. Don't know if this is true or not, but I wouldn't doubt it.

21. It was a different Democratic Party in Lincoln's time
I probably would've voted for Lincoln then, too. And I happen to like John McCain very much...but if it came between voting for a Democrat and him (or Ike or Ford), the Dem gets my vote every time.

25. I Forgot TR........
I like Gerald Ford...

Pro affirmatve action... Heck, he even wrote an amicus brief on behalf of his alma matta, the University of Michigan during the recent affirmative action case...

Pro choice....

Pro ERA....


He'd be called a RINO by today's Republicans...


I don't regret my vote for Carter or any Dem but I don't want to become so jaded that I can't recognize a good man just because he belongs to the other party...

I must admit today's Republicans make it difficult...

35. correct
on Loncoln and Roosevelt. Ike was not really a politician anyway. Ford and Nixon were truer to conservatism and would still have a place in the R party.

20. In a sense they are correct.
Al Qaeda said, 'Please go ahead and invade Iraq. It will do wonders for our recruiting. Please go ahead and invade Iraq because the resulting chaos will give us a new base to operate from."

Bush and his allies are playing into their hands with their short-sighted stupidity so, yes, for the time being, the terrorists are winning by default.

28. Depends on who planted those bombs
If the terrorists are Basque nationalists, then they probably do win here. However, it's very difficult to prove the terrorist attacks caused the election result since the PP was doing so poorly even before the tragedy last week.

If the terrorists are members of a cell from Al Qaeda, then they lose: This takes them a step or two back from reaching their aim for a jihad, a holy war. It hurts Al Qaeda's recruiting efforts since it makes it much more difficult to dehumanize Americans and Europeans.
