I hate that quote. Its used way too much. Who cares if Kerry changed his mind once? It doesnt mean anything. Republicans try to make a big deal out of it, but it doesnt matter!!!

Once? Ok.....

"If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, Maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. ... But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right."
Martin Luther King jr.

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", what's the opposite of progress?-Unknown

"Vote Dempublican, it's easier than thinking." -- Unknown

It is interesting that the so called enlightened Democrats seem to espouse the same tactics of Hitler: disarm the public, create a national police force, and enlist the aid of the media propaganda machine to make all believe that the country must take drastic measures to correct the so called sins of the prior regime. Those that follow will be as culpable as the brownshirts and Hitler Youth

Unless that last comment was a quote then please don't post it here. I've noticed a lot of Republicans complaining about Bush being compared to Hitler, so please don't do the same back.

"I have suffered too much in this world not to hope for another."
-Jean Jacques Rousseau

(On a side note, let me state how much I adore Rousseau. His theories are incredibly strange in some aspects, and he certainly was quite crazy by the end of his life, but I like a lot of what he says about society.)

Who was that to? And Five, that is DEFINITELY for fun and is humorous. Heck, if you check my Star Wars Caption Contest, you'll see that Link has done similar things and yet I find them funny, and have given him the win 3 times.
