Wrong. I said on at least a couple of occasions...
I greatly admired JFK. I do. I also said I thought "O" as you call him had a beautiful family. He does. I said Hillary got shafted in the primary. I think she did. I think Kucinich is a wingnut, chiefly because he acts like one. I think RFK was a great man also. All I said about them was that they had affairs, and they did. I admire the heck out of Joe Lieberman. I also admire the heck out of Zell Miller, MY kind of Democrat.
What I think of people in parties has nothing to do with political affiliation. Political affiliation is supposed to mean that you are behind the PLATFORM of the party. I am not 100% behind the PLATFORM of either party, therefore I am Independent. Your assessment of what independent means...does not really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Do you even know what the platform of the Democratic party is?
Would this justice be able to separate
her religious views from legal views? Apparently NOT, if, during this secret conference call, a very select few Americans were privy to the information that, in fact, she WOULD overturn Roe v. Wade because of her religious beliefs.
If religion can't be a reason to exclude someone from the bench, it likewise can't be used as a reason to INCLUDE someone on the bench, as Bush attempted to do as a way to reassure his base *wink, wink, nod, nod* that they shouldn't worry, *She's one of US.*
That's only one troubling aspect of her nomination, though. Even Robert Bork *borked* her, saying she is a *disaster* and that she was a terrible writer.
The fact that she's judged Bush to be the most *brilliant* man she's ever met casts even further doubt about her ability to *judge* (but I admit that's an extension of my personal opinion and doesn't really count).
John Roberts is reported to be a very devout Catholic, yet nobody raised an eyebrow about that because his religion was never an issue. Bush himself MADE it an issue.
Can you name me even ONE evangelical who would NOT vote to overturn Roe?
It's becoming clearer and clearer every day that this woman was nominated (1) because she's a Bush crony and (2) because she will guarantee that Roe will be overturned based on her own personal beliefs, not based on established legal precedent.
So you believe we need separate parties to

Two separate issues
I see again you are trying to detract from the crime going on in government.
First I could care less if someone has an affair. I didn't care when Clinton did, Edwards did, or any democrat or republican does. Last I knew having an affair is not illegal.
This happens to be a crime.
A separate issue entirely. History tells us that

Well....pardon me if I want to separate sour grapes...
from the truth. Verifying facts is not critiquing. I do it because I want to know the truth. Somehow it loses its punch when she lists: "She has hated me since 1992." lol.
and who will you hire?
Me - MT with 30 years of experience in the field of MT or
person X - just graduated from an MT program.
Sorry - education is not all there is to it. Much to be said for experience. Obama does not have it. McCain does.
when you hire lobbyists
to go to Washington to get FEDERAL (i.e. yours and mine) pork barrel money for a state and then give the residents a "rebate" you tend to be liked by voters. Many interviewed were unaware of the trooper scandal, the per diem charges for staying in her own home, etc. Majority of people do not pay attention to governmental affairs -- too busy chasing wolves and chopping their forefeet off.
Maybe the Dems will hire another
of thosed neat speed readers. Talk about absolute arrogance and disrespect. Gosh that was fun!
Would you hire someone who can't can't to four? Thinks J-O-B-S has three letters
And his list goes on and on ad nauseum.
He's the real joke in the #2 slot this year, on the dem. side
Yes, many of them hire good-looking women

What is so interesting that Joe the Plumber has to hire a publicist team? nm

New Bush rule makes it easier to hire foreign workers
Dec 10, 8:43 PM EST
Administration changes to farm worker hiring afoot
By SUZANNE GAMBOA
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- As it prepares to leave office, the Bush administration is moving to make it easier for U.S. farming companies to hire foreign field workers, which farmworker groups say will worsen wages and working conditions.
Farm groups said that changes to the H2A visa program, used by the agriculture industry to hire temporary farm workers, were posted on the Labor Department's Web site at midnight Tuesday but have since been taken down.
Labor Department spokesman Terry Shawn said whatever was posted wasn't the final version of the new rule, which Shawn said would be released Thursday and published in the Federal Register on Dec. 18.
The Bush administration published a proposed version of the new rule last Feb. 13 and received nearly 12,000 public comments, Shawn added. The next version will be a final rule and can take effect 30 days after publication. Some of its provisions would take effect in mid-January and others later in the year, the farmworker groups said.
Farm worker advocates and the United Farm Workers union said the version that appeared on the Web site would lead to a flood of cheaper workers.
"The government has decided to offer agriculture employers really low wages, low benefits, no government oversight to bring in foreign workers on restricted visas and thereby convince them they should do this instead of hiring undocumented workers," said Bruce Goldstein, executive director of Farmworker Justice, a group that advocates for farmworkers.
The changes in the posted version would drop a requirement that an employer get the Labor Department to certify it faces a worker shortage before it can get visas for foreign workers; instead, employers would be allowed to simply attest in writing to a shortage. That version of the new rule also would change the method for calculating wage minimums for workers and relieve employers of a requirement to recruit in states or communities where other employers already are hiring farm workers, Goldstein said.
But Assistant Labor Secretary Leon Sequeira said Wednesday evening the agency is not dropping the obligation to obtain certification, which is required by law.
Paul Schlegel, American Farm Bureau public policy director, said many of the changes will make the program a little less burdensome for employers. He said existing laws prevent employers from hiring foreign workers if the jobs can be filled by U.S. workers.
"My members want to make sure they have a legal supply of labor," said Schlegel, who added that he had not reviewed all the proposed changes.
The rule changes are a part of a pattern of last-minute regulatory changes being rushed into effect by the Bush administration before President-elect Barack Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration.
The effect is to make it harder for Obama to change course on some policies favored by Republicans and the business community.
"We are hopeful that the Obama administration would recognize the utter mistake and unfairness of this proposal," Goldstein said. Congress has a procedure for reversing the rules, he said.
Many of the last-minute changes by the Bush administration have come in the area of public lands and the environment, including easing regulations on mining waste and allowing handguns in national parks. Another pending rule would grant greater leeway to railroads to transport hazardous materials through densely populated areas.
