GOP and Dems[edit]
Dems were significantly more liberal than GOP on most issues since 1896. As for Asians there were no party differences. On racial segregation the GOP was more liberal down to 1940s, but that was not a front-burner issue at the time. Rjensen 02:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Your username[edit]
Hi, there is some discussion going on regarding your choice of username. Please see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#User:HowardDean. Thanks! — TheKMantalk 05:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry about this: this was just a query from an overly cautious editor. Your contribution history is excellent, so really, it's no big deal. – ClockworkSoul 05:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Far left Politicians[edit]
The issue with the Far Left and Far Right categories is mostly the lack of a clear, objective, definition - it's just too easy for them to be used as a vector to attack or smear. I'll change my delete vote if you can come up with a clear standard for both that people will agree too. Trapper 17:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Adding unverified claims to David Letterman[edit]
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to David Letterman. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - Mike Beckham 09:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- It is unverified and original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please do not re-add it or you may be blocked. - Mike Beckham 11:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
