Hello, CelticMist...
You better believe that I'm a John Kerry advocate, and I have donated to this website to help keep it afloat because it helps to expose the deceit of the Bush administration via the media.
I have ordered the Least Wanted Deck of Cards, Deception Dollars, and posted the website's address anywhere I can on the net. Why? Because TVNL is exposing the deceit of the media, which means exposing the deceit of the present administration.
If John Kerry becomes president, he'll be subjected to the same kind of scrutiny by TVNL and by those of us who have supported him. Some other good sites for this kind of perusal are
www.takebackthemedia.com; www.ragereport.com; www.republicansforkerry.org; www.funnytimes.com; (read some of Molly Ivans' editorials) and
www.whitehouse.org just to name a few. There's also
www.bushwatch.com and
www.johnkerry.com
As far as being in an independent forum, this is the
Poli-Talk forum...which means politics in all forms are discussed...agree, disagree, start new topics, whatever is the purpose of a post. Perhaps you should write a note to Jesse and he can clarify it for you...seems pretty simple to me, though.
Your concern for dying children is admirable. My country's policies are decided by politicians, both good and bad. Right now, we have the worst president that has ever held the office as far as the rest of the world is concerned. He is surrounded by a group of people both in his Cabinet and on his staff who are just as bad. Nothing can begin to improve anywhere, here or abroad, until he is ousted, and that includes the plight of children wherever they happen to be.
Debate is more than just posting links, too.
