It's the Democratic propaganda machine in action!!! Massachusetts is a very liberal state. Why would they not vote for McCain...he is the leading liberal in the Republican party!!!!

-- concerned citizen (propaganda@propaganda machine.com), February 23, 2000.

I think Massachusetts is going to vote like Michigan. Lots of Independents. Bush pissed off the Catholics and will show their displeasure in the voting booth.

Republicans must choose wisely.

If they lose in 2000, it's eight years of Gore followed by eight years of Hillary!

As a fellow Vietnam Veteran I see nothing wrong with his vote on the Kosovo situation. As hostilities escalate over the next few weeks over there we will find that we will be very lucky indeed to get our men out alive. Clinton has what is left of our troops spread so thin around the world that if we were to even have a minor assualt on the men in Kosovo that we would be hard pressed to get any help to them in time. Do not criticise a veteran untill you have marched a mile in his combat boots.

I agree with you, David. Kosovo looks like a quagmire...

I guess I'll still have to continue to support Keyes...

Shrubya made the cover of Newsweek.

Thanks Mad Monk. I do not support McCain but I grow tired of everyone talking about his war record. I feel I just have to side with a fellow brother that left some of his blood in a far off land. We were all family over there because we were all we had at that time. So please people unless you served in combat please back off the mans military service.
