I must say, you are by far the most mature non-Bush supporter on this site. I have a lot of respect for that. I also agree with what you have to say. I hope some Liberals can follow your lead. We do need more international support. The question is how do we get that support from other countries? Any ideas?
We need to be honest with them. Tell them we need their help and that we acknowledge we should have had it going in. We need to own up to our mistakes, but stand by our successes. We need to let them know that they are welcome in the rebuilding process, that they are allowed to bid on contracts, that they are needed to help stabilize the region. One or two countries alone cannot stabilize the Arab region. It will take a concerted effort. We need to start being a little more strict w/ Israel too, I'm not saying lose them as a partner, but let them know that firing missles into a crowd of civilians will result in sanctions. We have too many double standards with countries. We need to strengthen our ties w/ other middle-eastern countries (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India) so that they may help in the peace process. Right now too many Iraqis see the US "liberation" as nothing more than a holy war, the Western Christian country is invading their homeland in an effort to spread Western culture. We need them to know that we respect their culture and that we don't intend to change the cultures that exist in their homeland, we just want to offer them a chance at freedom from oppression, freedom to not live in fear of their dictator. This will take time, but for America to regain its prestige we must prevail. We must do what is necessary to ensure that our efforts were for the good of all. That is how you end terrorism. -
For all the Bush-Haters; look at the Optimistic Side.. It's his 2nd term so it's a for sure only 4 more years.... Unless we get a Jeb Bush.. Now I was think'n how crazy this would be.. Hilary Clinton and Vp runner John Edwards against Jeb Clinton and some other dude maybe let's say Arnold Swarchenager or something; how weird would that be.. HAHA; either way your getting a clinton or a bush back in office.. I just thought that would be kinda comical.

that would be funny...but won't happen. I don't think hillary will get the dem nomination, though I know she'll run. I don't think Jeb will run...ever. I know a lot of people are leaning that way now, but I just don't think he'll do it. Kinda like we'll never have another Kennedy run.

Seriously? I thought you were just playing along. Cool though.Its not necessary that I think Bush had done the wrong things, I just think Kerry would have done them better is all. It's just my opinion, just like its many peoples opinion that he would have done a worse job. We'll never know. IMHO Kerry's plan and my plan for dealing w/ the middle-east aren't that different, I just think I present my plan better
, now if I could only persuade the President the way I persuaded Brian...... -

Yeah, but Bush is REALLY good at using pom-poms...he was a cheerleader @ Yale afterall. -
We gotta rep. in the senate, thanks to the help of Walter "The Fossill" Mondale taking over for Paul Wellstone(RIP).

I think most repubs would agree that Dorgan, Pomeroy and Conrad are fairly conservative democrats (especially by the current standards) and I think North Dakotans are smart enough to realize that having seniority helps an awful lot. Having someone on the Ways & Means committee is about the top spot you could ever hope your representative could ever achieve. Here is an interesting tidbit, the last time the state had a population growth was when a democrat was governor (Sinner). I'd actually like to see term limits on all House & Senate members nationwide, it would bring in new ideas and really freshen things up. Maybe 3 terms maximum then you'd have to sit out for 2 terms before you could reenter the race.

I have a degree in living in a state that continues in the same rut year after year after year. I have a degree of working in the middle class. I have a degree of running my own business for over 4 years. I have a degree in wanting a better future and economy for the state of ND. I probably have done more political research than most of this board combined.Any other questions on my experience?
Respectable, at least your being honest. It'll be tough to run if you do decide to, most any politician I've seen in any kind of office, generally has a higher education, at least a Bachelors (as they aren't the toughest thing to get) and some kind of legal background. But it all depends on the office you are running for, but it's good to know that you have experience owning a business, it will be an experience and wish you good luck.

That is why I'm starting small...county commissioner or alderman most likely. Then work up from there.

You obviously have alot more research to do if your still a democrat.
