Firstly of all, DIANE, don't act like I'm a dummy. Maybe I should have cited my source(s), but I was at SIUE waiting for James' class to get out so I didn't have time.
If you MUST know, I am looking for the sites I used, and one of them was http://www.issues2000.org/Candidates.htm. One of the same that u used. What a small world, that we both read the same thing and got different info out of it?
LET ME SEE......
*I didn't even say anything about the DRAFT. I know that both candidates swear if they're the next president there won't be one. To tell you the truth, I don't care if a lot of Democrats more than republicans want the draft, because I'm not for every democrat. Each party has its own set of assholes and those which are not assholes... in my opinion, Bush happens to be an asshole- not my president.
The reason that some Democrats support the draft is because it would produce a militia that is closer to representing the actual country. I don't think that it's fair that a lot of poor people enlist just because they are promised money and a college education that they could not get otherwise. On the other hand, a lot of rich people don't have to do squat because they know that when they can choose, that they don't need any of those things- so unless they have a death wish, or they are extremely patriotic (which is the minority of course) then why fight for America. I don't call that patriotism.
FLAG BURNING
I'll just use your info: Kerry and Edwards do not support the amendmentQuote from Kerry "I would not be pleased to see someone burning the flag because I love the flag, but the Constitution that I fought for preserves the right of free expression." (http://www.issues2000.org/Domestic/John_Kerry_Civil_Rights.htm)
-----If I were to burn the flag, I wouldn't necessarily be saying that I hate the country, and I'm not really hurting anyone. I could be saying a number of things. I don't like the government. George Bush for example. If he was a bit more like his dad I think I could handle it. Kerry and Edwards are in the right. However, if people are buring the flag and threatening to kill Americans and overthrow the government, then its no longer free expression, and it would be illegal.
WMDs
I cannot tell u where I found this but I can assure u that I did not pull it out of my ass, and as a journalist (even tho I am being unjournalistic voicing my opinion now as I am) I would never pull my info on some dumbass liberal's web site. If anything, that would falsify my argument more than make me look good, and I'm not a dummy.
Whether Iraq has them or not, we should be more worried about North Korea. (and I know Bush wants multiple party negotiations to get rid of their WMDs, I did do a pro-Bush speech recently, and hated every minute of it)
Kerry knows the threat is there too.
The thing that I am against. Is it REALLY all that necessary for us to have freaking terror warnings on the news? I mean, if it's a yellow or orange day, maybe I should call my professors and call off of my classes. The fact of the matter is, unless there is a specific reason to believe that we are going to get attacked by an act of terrorism, the government and the media shouldnt scare people. It's just a way to shut them up so we all follow along with Bush's little plan.
