Our country needs a change. Our citizens spoke loudly at the November primary when the Democrats had a strong win. The wave of change will continue to sweep the nation as we head into the next presidential election. Americans are angry. Americans are protesting the war and the policies of the government and the people are ready for a dramatic change. A Democrat will win the White House in 2008.

The first reason why the Democrats will win is because over 46 million Americans do not have health insurance. The Democrats will win many votes due to their plans to make health insurance available to all citizens. Our country must make it a priority to ensure every citizen has access to health care.

The second reason why Democrats will win is because of the war in Iraq. Americans want the war to end. The war has sullied the reputation of our country throughout the world. The war has cost our nation billions of dollars. The third reason the Democrats will win is the over 3,500 soldiers killed in the war. Americans are horrified by the loss of life in the war. America feels the war is a quagmire the country must retreat from before any more lives are lost.

The fourth reason why the Democrats will win is the mishandling of the "friendly fire" death of Pat Tillman. Our Army leaders and the government misled the family of Tillman and the public about the cause of his death. The Tillman family had to fight to obtain the truth of their son's death; that is unacceptable and an unspeakable horror for a family in mourning. The Army has betrayed the public with the lies about Tillman's death.

The fifth reason why the Democrats will win is the Valerie Plame outing. Someone in the Bush administration outed Valerie Plame as a CIA agent. Someone put her life in danger by alerting the world of her covert career. Someone retaliated against Valerie Plame's husband, an outspoken critic of President Bush, by ruining his wife's career.

did anyone tell you that repetition is bad when your witting? also, when you write an article, it must not be biased and it must not be based on lies. in order to make your document more legitimate I propose you cut the crap about the war, the environment, global warming, the bush administration being bad, and democrats winning. If you get rid of all that garbage, especially the one where the democrats are gonna win, then I'll be interested in what you have to say: the cold hard truth.

After 8 years of Bush, I will not vote for a Republican if my very life depended on it. I would put Bart Simpson in the White House if he ran before any Republican, let alone Hillary or Obama. But a country deserves exactly what it elects.

Alyce: You are so right (Christians belief that they are abdomitions (?) to the Lord, will not consider they have basic human rights.) Isn't something written in there about how "Christians" do not have the right to judge others??? I wonder where their Christian spirit is hidden while they spout ugly remarks about homosexuals. So much for their Christian beliefs. All this does is make me much happier that I do not practice Christianity and do not care to do so. Thankfully, I reside in a country that allows me to not only freely speak about it but also freely refuse to follow the status quo as the Christians would have it if they had their way with the country, which thank goodness they do not.

One more... When the war was over and the victory over our enemies won, and the blessings and happiness of liberty and peace were secured, the Constitution was framed and God was neglected. He was not merely forgotten. He was absolutely voted out of the Constitution. The proceedings, as published by Thompson, the secretary, and the history of the day, show that the question was gravely debated whether God should be in the Constitution or not, and, after a solemn debate he was deliberately voted out of it. ... There is not only in the theory of our government no recognition of God's laws and sovereignty, but its practical operation, its administration, has been conformable to its theory. Those who have been called to administer the government have not been men making any public profession of Christianity. ... Washington was a man of valor and wisdom. He was esteemed by the whole world as a great and good man; but he was not a professing Christian. - Rev. Dr. Wilson

Cont'd: The great decisions of government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions.... We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn't stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic. - Senator Barry M. Goldwater

RWK: Some food for thought: Robert G. Ingersoll It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon that book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have nothing to do. And yet there are some judges dishonest and cowardly enough to solemnly decide that this is a Christian country, and that our free institutions are based upon the infamous laws of Jehovah. The great decisions of government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions.... We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn't s

Actually, Alyce, for purporting to be a constitutional scholar, you certainly miss the fact that "separation of church and state" is not mentioned once in the United States Constitution. The rest of your commentary/tirade is equally ill advised. But by all means, keep drinking the kool-aid.

Democrats are the heavy underdogs for these reasons: 1) The electoral college 2) The 2006 approval rating of Congress is 11 percent. 3) Ralph Nader is going to take votes away from the Democratic nominee. This isn't to say I support the Iraq War or the Patriot Act as it has destroyed families but the Democrats won't win, despite the media hype.

continued: This is also true of Muslims. "We are a Christian country" has become the mantra ever since GWB took office, often pointing to the Constitution as proof. Actually "separation of Church and State" was written into our ruling document as well as freedom to worship God as we believe. Thus, Alban, it is the Republicans that are destroying the democracy, rather than Democrats. Peace, diplomacy, caring for earth and it's resources and all peoples is usually a Dem trait and not a bad thing.

Alban: I also do not see why Democrats have such a bad rep. It has been the Republican held Congress that has refused to consider the "general welfare" of all citizens, favoring laws that are demanded by Christians. It does not matter how I personally feel about homosexuality, for instance. (That people are born thus, and it is not a choice.) Homosexuals are citizens who pay taxes. Christians belief that they are abdomitions (?) to the Lord, will not consider they have basic human rights.

...than it is possible, that we, the people can lobby the government to overhaul the election process. I would think that the gov could provide a 24 hour television station giving ALL candidates equal opportunity to get before the camera and speak, rather than having their parties pay for costly ads, that amount to little more than "smear my opponent" or dirty politics. Even Obama, who wanted to run a clean campaign, got sucked up into that.

Alban: Not enough people vote for the same third party candidate; which is why most people choose to vote for a Dem or Rep. Society has changed dramactly from the days when parties were needed to pool resources (money and labor or time to campaign to get someone elected), but our election procedure does not reflect the changes. If we were to elect someone who believes in putting party differences aside after election day (like Obama) or believes the gov is "of, for and by the people", not a ruler and ruled country, as it has become...

I'm not sure this country can survive another Demacrat in office. I also not sure we can survive another Republican in office. In my humble opinion we need an American in office that doesn'r believe he is a member of some elite group.

Excellent, except I do not see the 3rd reason. I do not declare a party affiliation. I am voting in the Democrat primary this year, but it remains to be seen if I vote for a Democrat for Pres, depending upon whom gets selected to run. If it is not my choice I would not be able to vote for a "good old boys" network person with a clear conscience. I agree with you that it is almost a sweep for Dems in 2008, but at this point, no guarantee.
