About meteorhunter

I evidently have too much time on my hands, since I am here. I love to debate, and I will admit when I am wrong .... if that should ever happen.

Democracy is not the most effective political system.

It depends on what you define as 'effective'. If you look at increasing freedom and personal liberty, then no, a democracy allows tyrany of the majority. A representative republic, like we have, is ...

The U.S. should offer incentives to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear program.

Yeah, here is an incentive. We will move that carrier fleet with the cruise missle ships away from your coast if you do the right thing. I am just saying.

Diplomatic measures or pressure are the appropriate next steps that the US should take with Iran.

More pressure should be applied, like freezing assets or more sanctions. We still have a little more room to squeeze them. Let them take the first shot with military action, and then finish them off...

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama should run on the same ticket.

Oh please, oh please, oh please. Nothing will reinforce the 'Candidate of Change' (TM) like Ms. Politics as Usual. Please Hillary, run with Barack and help McCain win.

The U.S. will not use military force in Iran.

Should we? Yes, but we won't, not unless those crazies attack Israel first. Even the most hawkish among us doesn't want to bite off more than we can chew.

The U.S. should restrict prisoners' access to lawyers at Guantanamo Bay.

They should have the rights afforded enemy combatants, not U.S. citizens.

Parental Consent should be required in the abortion decision of a minor.

We have to get parental consent to stitch a small cut or treat a simple infection. Except in cases if incest, why should this be any different?

The DNC should not allow delegates from Michigan and Florida to be seated after the primaries.

The State Party decided to run the primary early to be 'relevant'. They knew the rules and lost their seats. They should not change the rules now to suit them. Unless they are Democrats since rules...

George W. Bush's comments to the Knesset were appropriate.

Bush needed to let Israel know that we stood behind them, and the disasterous consequences of electing someone who would waver with their support. The U.S. is the only thing that keeps the radical Is...

President Bush should not be impeached.

What law did he break to justify it? It's not like he lied under oath or something. Oh wait...

There should be term limits for elected officials.

Officials get too much power for too long, and they abuse it to keep themselves in office. Term limits are a way to keep them a bit honest, and keep them from becoming career politicians.

Cindy McCain should not release her personal income tax returns.

Um, last time I checked, she's not running for office. Did anyone demand this from the wives of Democrats? Oh, that's right, they are all beyond reproach.

Ralph Nader will have a minor impact on the 2008 Presidential Election.

He will siphon a few votes from Obama, but not enough to have made a difference. McCain will easily win anyway.

Hillary Clinton should not drop out of the presidential race.

She should stay in as long as possible. I am thinking sometime after inauguration day. Of course, that is assuming she wants McCain to win, so she can run in 2012.

Based on the information available now, the invasion of Iraq was justified.

Saddam was only killing his own people, it was none of out business. I am sure he would have been very peaceful and happily continued to allow his friends to supply us with oil. He never used any we...
