Governor Dean did a great job on the Situation Room today. Hope someone will be coming up with the a video. Our Democrats are sounding tough about getting out of Iraq and not letting Bush bully them.

Mitt Romney again?
is that all you guys are talking about here?
I guess you think he will be the candidate.
poor old McCain has sold his soul for NOTHING.
he will never get the nomination.
just like the war in Iraq- FOR NOTHING.

The republicans are not the only ones who are making these types of blunders. The governemt leaders need to get away from these political dog fights and smear campaigns and start restoring integrity and purposeful legislation. I would like to see our democratic leaders tackle global poverty by supporting the UN Millennium Development Goals. There has been so much talk about universal healthcare that I hope the dems will follow through and then go further by advocating life changing policies for the global population. If democrats want to change the path we are on now, domestically and internationally, they need to start by addressing global issues.

hey this is guy is rich as with most of the other republican candidates. i feel republicans have some good values but the fact he is rich means he is out of touch with the working class like myself. i would like to ask mitt romney and other republican candidates how can you relate to my situ
ation

I think it's noteworthy, mainly because I am personally offended by the increasing proliferation of gated communities in this country wherein which the elite rich seek to sequester themselves from the rest of us and the second venue Romney went to hunt, Sea Island, Georgia is one such place. Worse, while the promoters of the conversion of "millionaires' island" into a haven for international billionaires are pretending there's nothing new, the segregation of Sea Island from its neighbors (via a guard house and electronic monitors) is actually a recent development (since the 2004 selection of the site for a meeting of the G-8 summit).
Segregation is offensive, whether its forced or self-selected. Gated communities where public services are privatized undermine the very essence of our democracy where all have equal access to our public assets and share in the costs.
Mitt Romney hunting "rodents and rabbits" on Sea Island would be amusing, if the place weren't such an insult to democracy.

BTW, ordinary Republican folk are modest and unassuming. However, they like to balance that by associating themselves with winners that make them feel superior.
So, for example, the concept of the "silent majority" was attractive because, although they'd been taught that "it's better to be seen than heard," being part of the majority gave them a sense of being superior.
People who identify themselves as Republicans don't want to be equal. Equality is a threat to their interest in being "special" and "superior."
And they don't much care how the U.S. maintains its super-power status, whether by acclamation or the use of force, as long as it and they remain number one.
Especially in the South, which still hasn't gotten over "losing" the Civil War, being a winner is what's most important.
While the suggestion that we just declare a win in Iraq and leave may have been made tongue in cheek, that's probably what Republicans want to see.
Let's get out while we're still winning and before Iraq is lost.
