Do you like anyone in particular that is running and why? What is that person's view on education, health care, peace, international affairs, the "war on terrorism", global warming, etc?

She's not dead YET...but I'm sure she soon will be.

How do you think she will die, and when?


I say she goes out by the end of the year, Bon Scott-style: drunk and drugged-up, passed out, and dies choking on her own vomit.


What say you?

Don't get me wrong, Bush is a complete moron. I do not support bush for anything. But now we are being plain ridiculous.

For those who do not know, bush made it illegal for anyone to support a protest that interferes with the rebuilding of Iraq.

And what people are saying, including Russian lawyers(WFT?), is that one of the statements is open ended and, potentially, could possibly be interpreted that you cannot protest the war. Frankly, this is not the case. Even in a stretch cannot see this being interpreted by a lawyer and convicting anyone for a simple protest. bumper stickers don't hurt nobody unless you can prove the money went to a terrorist. Screw Russia!

I have read the bill myself, and here is what they are saying
"an act or acts of violence"
First of all!!!!! this means an act, or several acts. This is NOT open ended. Bush is an idiot and this is more of a waste of time than anything.

With everything bush has done, we do not have to make stuff up against him!!!!!!!!!

Savage dismissed the nearly three-year-old case against Mahamu Kanneh last week, saying the delays had violated the Liberian immigrant's right to a speedy trial." what about the little 7 year old girls rights??? What is going on with our judicial system!

She was arrested this morning for DUI and possession of cocaine. It's her third DUI arrest.

What is the punishment that should fit this crime?

(Talking about a headline in a newspaper)

'The headline suggests that Kate and I face prosecution for neglecting our children by dining 50 yards away and checking on them regularly. We know that there has been criticism in some quarters of our actions but at the time, we felt our actions were responsible. We were essentially performing our own baby listening service although we have talked of the guilt we felt at now being there at the moment Madeleine was taken.

We have been advised that legally our behaviour was well within the bounds of responsible parenting and subsequently been assured that no action will be taken. These types of criticism, particularly at this stage, as well as being hurtful are extremely unhelpful in the search for Madeleine. From the moment we discovered Madeleine missing Kate and I have done everything in our power to try and help get her back.'

Is this one of the worst cases of self vindication that you have EVER COME ACROSS ???

Kate flew out of Portugal with her brother and sister. They are joining Madeleine's father Gerry, who is already in Britain.

He has been meeting with child abduction experts to learn about criminal profiling techniques used in the hunt for his young daughter.

could it be that he realises that the police have been profiling them,on their various interviews on tv, it would be a very silly person who would think, that the police have not been doing this

In one of his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the American War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all forms of protest against the Iraq war.

I worked in Spain a few years back, one of my jobs was to go to a complex on excursion night. I would pick up the keys from reception, sometimes 40 odd keys and my job was to walk around the complex listening at the chalet door to hear crying etc. If I heard crying I unlocked the door comforted the child then went on my rounds. Sometimes taking an hour to complete the round.

This service was offered to the McCanns, they chose to check on their own children. That night, you can bet there were many children left alone, tell me how the babysitting service differed from the McCanns going to check on their children?

I was not given any checks to work with children out there, lucky enough they got me, not some paedophile. My advice abroad is stick with your children at all times, forget the babysitting, its just as risky as leaving them alone.

Sorry, this is still bugging me!

Is it really okay for Gerry to keep comparing eating at the Tapas Bar with eating in the garden.

I ask this as their apartment had its own private garden, so having a meal there obviously would be like eating in the garden. Going to the Tapas Bar would be like what it really was - going down the pub?

Kucinich and Story quote (wire)
Asked if Democrats are playing politics with the war, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio said yes. "The Democrats have failed the people," he said.

Instead of liberal whining and grandstanding why not take a clue from the abysmal congressional ratings by the using the best strategy here.

Apart from the grief of losing her, if you had known the McCanns as a happy family living their daily lives at home, wouldn't there be more empathy than negativity? I ask this for the simple reason that there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that the McCanns were negligent of their babies back home in the UK, which fact, just doesn't warrant the venom against them out here.

Fill in the blank. There's known and then there's 'Known'. Plenty of things are well-known within certain circles, but not widely known by the public. Sort of the way JFK fooled around and everybody in Washington knew it, but Mr. and Mrs America did not. Or FDR's being wheelchair-bound, or alot of other things. (Search 'Jennifer Fitzgerald') What do YOU know that the larger public would be surprised to hear?

has the time to talk to such a hypocrite...
Mccann talks as though he's just realised that children go missing and that its so wide spread....furthermore he acts like he's the only one ever to speak out about it. Perhaps he should have prevented one childs hell by staying with his own children that night....I am so bloody mad this man is on TV lecturing the rest of us on what to watch out for to safeguard our children....Please someone tell him and his sheep...we know....we've always known....its one of the reasons there is a Childrens Act...its why the like's of you should NEVER be allowed to speak out about how to keep children safe. You are not qualified..! I would not take any advise from anyone associated with you or your campagn because the very fact they're standing shoulder to shoulder with you bloody pair means they condone what you did or at best forgive you, I will never be such a sap, our childrens very lives depend on it...
