violin and pheaddy, you still claim that you're not "liberals'?


Actually I don’t think I’ve ever denied having liberal views. I’m not a Democrat though, I’m registered independent. I used to think I was a moderate until I came here and realized how truly #&%!$ed up the rest of the country is.

That was a pretty good test. I got a 9. More liberal than Hillary Clinton, what were the odds? ; ) .

21 with Colin Powell, middle of the road.
Beware of extremists at either end of the spectrum.

Right-o Violin. I thought I was a moderate until The Contract For America carried the day in '93 and the country was susequently newtered.

(funny how the Republicans forgot the part about Term Limits once they got into power, LOLOL)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The latest Democratic drive to make sure President Bush serves just one term takes a page from the effort to oust a Democratic governor in California, calling its web site "bushrecall" and garnering support through petitions.

A new committee called the Fair and Balanced PAC plans to launch its www.bushrecall.org Web site Thursday. The PAC's founders include Joe Lockhart, a press secretary to former President Clinton, and Mike Lux, a Democratic political consultant.

The Constitution provides no way to recall a president through a ballot initiative, as California voters have a chance to do to Democrat Gray Davis in October.

Instead, the PAC will work to defeat Bush in next year's election, building lists of supporters through a petition drive and raising money to run ads against the Republican, he said.

"What we hope to do is to remind people that all of the things that are being said about Gray Davis as the reasons for the recall can be applied to George Bush," Lux said Wednesday. "For example, they say Davis turned big surpluses into deficits in a matter of a couple of years. That's the same thing that happened with George Bush."

The Bush campaign declined to comment.
