There can be few more despicable tactics than the exploitation of the sensitivities and fears of sincerely religious people for political advantage ..... and few tactics are more socially divisive and dangerous than playing fast and loose with the Constitutional specification of separation of church and state in the process. If current international events have taught us nothing else, everyone should now clearly understand the risks inherent in the slightest entanglement of religious passion with politics and governance.

What are some common complaints amongst young people? We complain that adults don’t listen to us, that we’re not given a say in this world. We sometimes get bullied at school because we’re different from the other children. The Democratic Party has been the Party for not only the white poor people, but also for minority groups that have been bullied for being different. It supports the idea of a country where, under the First Amendment, many different ideas can be heard. Thus even unpopular ideas can be at least listened to and given a chance. This would be appealing to many young people who, even if they are popular amongst their peers, feel like their parents and teachers don’t respect their right to have a say in their lives.

Repealing President George W. Bush's 2001 tax law is a priority for Democrats in 2004. By repealing the inheritance tax and truncating the tax categories, Bush has contributed to creating a system that treats individuals unfairly, weakens our democracy by widening the gap between rich and poor, and leaves the federal government without the resources to govern effectively.

The Bush Administration has not only failed the country with its unsound and destructive economic and environmental policies, its assaults on a woman’s right to choose, and its unilateral dealings with world events but it has now turned its sights on destroying one of the most precious and valuable things this country has to offer the world, its outstanding college students.  This President ran on being the, “Education President,” vowing to reform the educational system in America making it more accessible, efficient, and accountable.  By all accounts he has failed miserably in just three years.
