    Roxran, It is because I love America that I will continue to work and vote towards whichever candidates best protect our freedoms. As was mentioned in another thread, I believe our current President, far from protecting freedoms has demolished some.

    The freedoms I will defend, and hold dear to my heart are the ones that you are seeming to deny. People can and should speak out against their government when they see it veer away from the principles on which this nation is founded. It's one of the most American things we can do. Blindly supporting every move a current leader makes is far from protecting and exemplifying our freedoms, it is contrary to them.

    By the way since you use the word 'hedonistic' or a form of that word, you might want to better understand what it means.

    hedonistic

    adj : devoted to pleasure; "a hedonic thrill"; "lives of unending hedonistic delight"; "epicurean pleasures" [syn: hedonic, epicurean]

    The hedonistic cadre of backslapping liberals can not grasp the essence, and principles which has resulted in the United States governmental process...

    Being able to write the definition of hedonism isn't the same as comprehending it. Which posts of liberals on this board demonstrate examples of hedonism? Which principle that resulted in the U.S. govermental process has any liberal on this board failed to grasp the essence of...? Please show the post. So far your attacks at our love and understanding of this nation, end up just hollow, since they aren't backed

    Also I'm weary of your professed love for rights and principles of this country, since there is a thread directly dealing with our guaranteed constitutional rights, and the fact that this administration is trying to eliminatea portion of our rights. Oddly despite all you talk about how important those rights are to you, you haven't seen fit to make an appearence in that thread.

    To me actions speak louder than words. So far your attacks at our(the liberals) love and understanding of this nation, end up just hollow, since they aren't backed by examples, nor do they show any real understanding of embracing the differences of opinion and expression so valued by our constitution and our founding fathers.

    Nader has now lost all credibility! He is officially a joke!

    -----------------------------

    Nader Accepts GOP Signatures for Ballot

    LANSING, Mich. - In an about face, Ralph Nader decided Monday to accept thousands of petition signatures collected by Michigan Republicans if that's the only way he can qualify for the state's presidential ballot.

    Last Thursday, Michigan Republican Party officials submitted 43,000 signatures — far more than the 30,000 needed — to ensure Nader could appear on the ballot as an independent. Republicans began collecting signatures after it appeared that Nader might not get on the ballot as the Reform Party's candidate for president.

    Nader's campaign had turned in about 5,400 signatures. But spokesman Kevin Zeese said it stopped collecting them a month ago after the national Reform Party endorsed Nader and it looked as though he could get on the ballot as its candidate.

    It's marginally heartening, at least, to see that it takes Republicans to get him on the Ballot and that his own supporters aren't numerous enough to gather enough signatures.

    What did he get, 3% last time? if he gets close to 2% this time I'd be shocked.
