Nobody who knows anything about those materials has said that they have degraded into something harmless. In other words, Serin and Mustard gas do not turn into Glade Potpourri.

Apart from the poison gas that the US sold to Saddam over 10 years ago (that would have long ago degraded into relative harmlessness), I honestly believe that there really were no weapons of mass destruction currently in Iraq when Bush, Cheney, and Rice were parading around Washington yelling "Mushroom cloud! Mushroom cloud!" at every podium they could find. Is that clearer now? And pulling sheets over one's head is not typically a liberal activity. Oh – let me make that clearer.

I've thought for a while that one problem wiht Democrats nationally is that they can't bring themselves to actually say or even muse about what they really think. I would guess that Todd Ritchie will be able to stand up for himself on these things - given that the politics are not inherently something that need to be 100% repudiated. To an extent, they're things that are healthy to discuss. That said, he will need to dissociate himself form defending teh violence in Seattle. And anyone espousing a "world government" may have some 'splaining to do.

And by the way, you knew that you wanted our elections to be run by someone who isn’t afraid to cozy up with the Communists.

Way to work it through guys. . . Real smart.

Don't we do any sort of vetting of these people anymore? We have a corrupt attorney general candidate who was forced out of the race, a radical Louis Farrakhan Nation of Islam candidate for Congress, a United State's Senate candidate who has presided over the rebirth of Murderapolis and a Gubernatorial candidate who ducks and dodges and can't answer a simple question. You'd think that was good enough. But oh no, let's throw in a guy who wants to run our elections who allows himself to have Communist associations??? What a team.
