How perfect are those podiums ?

Kuttner is such a PRO,

and Kristol is such a CON.

these Neo-Cons are truely destroying the nation. pro-war pro-globalization pro-corporate entities pro-tax cuts designed to emulate trickle down economics only even more unbalanced towards the favour of the rich. anti-personal freedoms anti-workers unions anti-seperation of church and state anti-science anti-public education anti-conservative public spending anti-middle and lower class

@amazingjames311 in reality it'll never happen, nations around the world seek world dominance, in the greater picture,who do you want to be the first nation up to the plate when it comes to world dominance? if it is america they will instill the democratic and american style leadership. If it was to be another nation things could be different, and thats not to say for better or worse. what's your opinion? which nation in the world do you think would make the most suitable country for a new world

When you're in a car, "D" is to go forward, "R" is to go backwards. :P

As mad as Kuttner makes me, Kristol takes the cake! He makes me see red because it is his neo-conservative ilk that has destroyed the credibility of true conservatism. They came in and created a big gov't conservatism with disastrous results and now it is very difficult if not impossible for people to listen to reason-the true libertarian conservatism. AHHH!

America spends more on military expenses than half of the rest of the world put together. Bush ignored the many warnings of 9/11 before 9/11.

Medicare Part D was totally a give-away corporate welfare benefit for drug companies. Every other country is allowed to negotiate for volume discounts in drug purchases, except the United States.

The steep crime drop that Giuliani presided over corresponds to the increased availability of abortion in the 1970s and 1980s. Reagan did not stare down the Soviets. The Soviets simply determined that their system did not work; all levels of Soviet society were cynical about their system. Hopefully, Americans also will accept that the other extreme--free-market Conservatism--also does not work.

the funni thing, Kristol says N.Y is more livable than before, when in fact this is the worst time to live in N.Y. but in the end, i don't want to take sides between Pro or Con. even though i disagree completely with Kristol, I must still commend him for his intelligence, not necessarily his politics. if anyone thinks i'm being pro-conservative, don't worry, i'm voting Democrats, but i don't advocate for them.
