WATCH "The Cafferty File":
Pulling Pork? Do you think Democrats duped voters this past November on the issue of pork?The Democrats did more than dupe the voters with regard to pork. They also duped us on the lobby reform, the Iraq War, corruption, health care, immigration and anything else that might come up. They, like Bush, have reneged on all the promises they made before last November.
--Andy, Sun Valley, Nevada
Duped implies lying. They're only guilty of being unrealistic and lacking some intelligence. Saying that they somehow duped us is giving them way too much credit.
--Chris, Tulsa, OklahomaFace the facts, Democrats and Republicans both dupe the voters. The only answer is to vote for third-party candidates. It doesn't matter which one, they'll lose anyway. But, just think of the fear in the major parties if 20 percent of the vote went to "others".
--Tom, WashingtonIs Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul out of line giving fellow candidate Rudy Giuliani a reading assignment?
Ron Paul is absolutely right to give Giuliani a reading list. Giuliani's reaction in the debate was the worst example of demagoguery yet in this presidential campaign.
--Brent, CaliforniaI was actually somewhat impressed with Giuliani until the second debate and his exchange with Congressman Paul. It's obvious Rudy Giuliani doesn't have a good understanding of history. Those who don't learn those lessons from the past are doomed to repeat them. Scratch him off the list. Next!
--Robert, Houston, TexasNo, Dr. Paul is not out of line. Rudy Giuliani has no foreign policy experience aside from attending a Yankees-Blue Jays baseball game. If he wishes to be given serious consideration as a presidential candidate he has to have more to run on than repeatedly pointing out that he was in New York City on September 11, 2001.
--Dann, Vancouver, British ColumbiaAre human rights around the world being threatened by so-called "politics of fear"?
All these "human rights" groups have one thing in common. Anti-Americanism! How often did you hear them complain about Saddam's 300,000 mass graves in Iraq?
-- Chuck, McCaysville, Georgia
Islamic revolutionaries, those we call terrorists, have, and continue to violate human rights on a massive scale around the world. Groups like Amnesty International are helping mask the human rights violations of the extremists. It is important to remember it takes two sides to make war.
--Roxie, Dilworth, MinnesotaWe are less and less of a democracy every day. Bush is always talking about the message that we are sending to our troops and to the rest of the world. The greatest democracy in the world is sending the message that democracy is no longer alive and well in the United States.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid to answer this question.
