#3 I'll take that one from my POV.

You agree on NOT appoint Dems to the Supreme Court.

You agree on not establishing universal health insurance.

You agree (AFAIK) on various issues involving unions.

thats off the top of my head.

#4 OK, McCain-Feingold allows unions a priveliged place in the political process, granting them the ability to pay for political advertising that many other groups don't have.

SO are you sure he doesn't agree with you more than "us" (I put that in quotes for reasons I'll explain later) on the matter of unions?

Second, are you sure that he disagrees about the universal health insurance? The status quo, with a mish-mash of private and public insurance companies setting one price for procedures for their customers and another price for the rest of us, is just a slow road towards national health insurance, sooner or later.

Bush's prescription drug plan was a pretty big brick in that wall.

#6 We do not have a candidate for President this year. Question from Limbaugh. "Who is the Chairman of the Democratic party?" Of course everyone knows. Dean. "Who is the Chairman of the Republican party?" Who knows, and who cares. The Republican party does not exist anymore. The Republican party does not support the conservative platforms anymore. The conservatives need to nominate and vote on independant individuals who will carry the conservative banner.
