In the recent debates the Analysts and majority of Viewers thought Joe Bidden knew most about the issues.

'Best Response', Bidden and Dodd each got one analyst's vote, while Edwards got popular vote and the remaining analyst's vote.

'Most Surprising Performance', Edwards received one analyst's vote while Obama got the remaining two and popular vote.

'Participant whose campaign benefited most', two analysts gave specific accolades to Obama's response and he also won popular vote. One analyst said, "Clinton's camp has to be pleased".

'Most Creative campaign video' saw analysts split between Obama, Dodd and Richardson while Obama won the popular vote.

Total results relating to: knowledge, response, performance, recognition and creativity

Clinton, 1
Richardson, 1
Dodd, 2
Edwards, 3
Bidden, 5
Obama, 8

The only positive vote she got was for having pleased her camp by throwing out 'red meat' especially in regards to the 2000 campaign'. We need a candidate to address today's issues

I think I'm correct in saying one of the resons we went to Iraq is for "the war on terror" (correct me if im wrong)

But why doesnt the U.S. focus more on internal issues and less on everone elses issues

I am kinda in the dark on all this stuff and trying to understand (maybe a little late in the game)

stop?

I think the rationale is simple. It is no different from your local neighborhood squabble. One neighbor is slighted because another neighbor stepped on their turf or area. Or that neighbor is imposing a new set of neigborhood rules when clearly other set of rules are working well in the other neighborhood area. We are imposing a Western way of living, because we think we are the best and being so we are the only ones that are right. Or forces other people to do our bidding. Thus, this breeds deep-seated animosity. WE are impinging on their sovereignity, and the American government seems arrogant to say, it's our way or the highway. And we threaten them by saying, "we are the only ones that have superior bombs" In this respect alone, other countries hate us. Why is it only the US is allowed to have and develop bombs? The world is not just America.

If we leave them alone, just like any neighborhood squabble, the animosity will EVENTUALLY die down and diminish.

Do you know much about the situation?
How do you feel about the approach taken to end the war?
Are you surprised that it was allowed to come to this with past events such as Rwanda?
Did you know about Rwanda before the movie Hotel Rwanda?
Have you done anything to help? Have you wanted to, but haven't "gotten around" to it?
What do you think about the situation in general?

"Norman who? Few news organizations covered last week's Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for Borlaug, which was presided over by President Bush and the leadership of the House and Senate. An elderly agronomist doesn't make news, even when he is widely credited with saving the lives of 1 billion human beings worldwide, more than one in seven people on the planet."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19886675/site/newsweek/

I haven't heard of this guy who save a billion lives, but it seems like I hear about Paris Hilton and now Lindsey Lohan every day. I think it's sad.

ABC World News just reported that the U.S. government is planning to build a new embassy in the most dangerous part of Beirut, Lebanon, where Hezbullah terrorists control the region. WHY would anyone in our government make such an irresponsible, follish decision? Is there no one in our government with any degree of competency? -RKO-

This country seems determined to end up a nuclear pile of rubble. If America won't do the job, Israel will. Don't Persians think? Usually this kind of thinking is the realm of Arabs. That president of theirs is the biggest fool on the planet.

Many businesses seem obsessed with outsourcing every job they can, and many highly trained people now can't find work. If we can't work, we can't live. All the chemical plants are being outsourced to China and India, and most of my chemist friends are out of work and very depressed. Those countries have no environmental laws and extremely cheap labor, it makes it ideal to shut down all fucntions in this country. How would you feel if that happened to you?

Doesn't it bother you that people and even CHILDREN in third world countries are working in sweatshops for places like Walmart. They are LOCKED in a room or are FENCED IN and HAVE to work. With no air conditioning or any kind or ventilation. And are payed LESS then a US dollar to work hard for HOURS. What they are are basically slaves!!! This is wrong!!! Ever wonder why Walmart is so cheap? Because they have people who live in other countries that work for nearly nothing. They live in terrible conditions and have SMALL childeren that have to work with them just to keep living there. Doesn' t this bother you people? Please star this question if you do think it is wrong. So people will be more willing to read this.

If someone jokingly says they have a gun, normally security would have them in custody in seconds. Yet there were no arrests in these cases. Could the plants be put there to try and justify the excessive security or for that matter the very existance of " Homeland Security"? It seems to me like it may be a feeble attempt to keep Americans on edge and also to impress them of how vigilent the "government" agencies are. They are supposed to know who tried to put the devices on the planes,( a couple were in "carry on" luggage." "Methinks, there is something rotten in the state of Denmark" or whichever states they were found in.

We don't have the resources to check the quality of these imports, and the risks are growing each day. I would rather have less choices and pay a little bit more,than risk my health and welfare to second rate products. How do you feel about this?

GERRY'S BLOG: "We finished with a very quick tour of the public areas in the White House which is a very impressive building and we also met one of the Presidents Scottish terriers! "

Wow - that is definately going to help - must be great meeting the President's scottish terriers - I am sure that is going to really help his daughter out. Gerry just loves all the VIPing he is getting to do now, he could be forgiven for forgetting about Maddy couldn't he? Of course the UK media (Express excluded) apparently have and are fully behind the McCanns version of things - must be all those great lawyers the fund has paid for working on them behind the scenes....
