A CHALLENGE - if you will...

Ok....after weeks of hearing nothing but bashing from the Dems about Bush and Cheney and from the Reps about Kerry and Edwards... And with it hitting a higher note after the first 2 debates....Here's a challange for those brave enough to take it on...

For you Democrats...

What are 2 POSITIVE things you see in Bush/Cheney

And for you Republicans...

(the same)what are 2 POSITIVE things you see in Kerry/Edwards

I just thought it might be refreshing to hear some good things about each side from the opposing sides - I figure there must be good things in each side that the other must be able to see and respect....

And by the way, like my mother STILL says "If you can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all" ...let's try to keep this thread sunny and chipper : )

Good Luck!

G.W.

The one positive that I can say right off the bat about Kerry / Edwards is that they want to try and tackle the monsterous problem that is health care. I may not agree with exactly how they plan to do it, but they are trying to put forth a plan of attack, and some of what they propose may actually help in the long run.

I would like to hear the Republicans detail what their plans are in order to assist in keeping medical insurance costs under control, so more people and companies (especially smaller ones) can afford it.

I am Christian and a Democrat--


What I like about Bush is his pride in Christ. Bush has no fear or shame in letting people know his beliefs.


Cheney is like an Everready bunny. He has been through a lot of physical issues, but he is strong spirited and keeps on going.

Kerry-is obviously a good debater and experienced politician. I give him credit for volunteering to serve in Vietnam, and even credit for having the courage to oppose the war (though I disagree with the manner in which he went about it.)

Edwards-he seems to be an intelligent person and probably is an excellent lawyer. Have a tough time giving a positive opinion of him as a candidate because I know very little about what he's done in the Senate.

I was going to say the same thing about Bush.

I admire John Edwards' choice of a wife. I admire that John Edwards is a self-made success.

I'm a Christian and a democrat myself and like how Bush does have his faith and how Cheney is standing by his daughter and not letting health get in the way.

Oh and I also like how Cheney doesn't care too much about being President (you can tell even if you don't like Bush/Cheney).

Well your president you like so much hasen't been going to church? John Kerry is a christian, but he knows the law SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!I'm a christian to but I don't want the church makeing decisins for me, firts of all look at the cathloic church they cannot even govern themselves let alone stick their nose in state affairs!I don't know if Bush is a christian or not only God does, He can say it all day long, But do you think Jeasus would approve of the killing daily of our troops in Iraq? I don't think so.Thou shalt not Kill. Maybe because the president dosen't read he has not read the basic's you know the 10 commandments?

That's cause Chaney is President, dont you ever notice the strings he pulls on his puppet? Why would he want to be president when Jr has given him the chance now? and when its over, he has all his money from hailburton to retiar on? would you give up millions for the president's salery?
