Yes, Condoleeza Rice is extremely well-spoken.  The amazing thing
is that Pete Wilson considered appointing her to his senate seat
after he became governor here in California.  And, he didn't
do it.  Instead, he went with John Seymour (who couldn't win his
own party's nomination for Lt. Governor).  If you saw our junior
Senator on PBS last night, you could see how lame he is.  He 
talked and talked and talked and still hasn't said anything.
He likes doing the same thing on TV commercials.   Given
a choice between Seymour and Dr. Rice, I don't see how he could
of chosen Seymour.

Well, I'm not your "charitable Republican-type", but I'll bite:

Obviously, the differences in pro-life positions represent the "Big
Tent" theory of the '92 Republican Convention.  The "Big Tent" is
designed to bring all Republicans under one roof; thus it is an obvious
extension of what Dan-oe thinks of "family values".  After all, all
*real* families live under a single roof, don't they?  Yes, the mother,
the father (you know, the real Republicans will now accuse me or radical
feminism because I put the mother first), and three (not 2, not 4 --
reminds me of Monty Python's "Holy Grail") children.  Of course, the
family members can all have different opinions, but will ultimately
defer to the father, who (as Bush and Dan-oe noted) would in turn defer
to the decisions of the daughter in case she wanted an abortion, even
though the official family platform (no, wait, that the *Republican*
platform, isn't it???) calls for a constitutional ban on abortion and
liberalism.

Now *THAT'S* Republican logic!!!  :-)

   Actually this is an awful lot to ask Dhanesh.  If your want meaningful
statements and reasoned arguments then the people arguing need to have a clue
and most people don't.  Recall Joel Hanes flaim-bait abortion post? It stood
out a mile that he thought rights were some sort of universal field that
permeates reality.  He had no idea what a right was or how it derives from the
social contract.  I know an unborn child has rights if, through the wierd
Rube-Goldberd process we've built up, we agree to give it rights.  Joel 
doesn't.

   The problem isn't that people are scared of conflicting ideas but rather
that they are afraid of the big cruel world and wrap themselves in a security
blank built out of fantasy.  They either cannot or will not take them time to
gather the information and think through their positions.  They just adopt the
position of someone they trust or whom they think will help them, especially if
those positions make them feel good or important.

   Call me a member of the cultural elite and gag me with a spoon, but I'm sure
most of our intractable fights rest on a firm foundation of ignorance butressed
by a lack or respect for empathy and ones fellow man.  That pond scum you were
talking to was sloganeering; dollars to guppies he can't even adequately
describe the fisical policy he thinks should be implemented, let alone defend
it.  I _know_ I can't :-).

What liberals (or liberal leaders) pray tell were not permitted to 
speak at the Democratic Convention.  Mario Cuomo?  Jerry Brown?  Jesse
Jackson?   The fact that Clinton and Gore represent the moderate wing
of the party does not mean the liberal wing was shut out.

But, I've yet to hear of any Republican (except Bay) who took 
any pride in the speech Buchanan gave.  It was embarrassing to
Republicans and embarrassing to the nation.  It was riddled
with lies, vitriol, and sophomoric barbs.  Buchanan should return
to screaming on panel shows where statesmanship is not required.

So what's your point? I think the problem is in fact that every time
