personal background, ex U.S Army infantry. two overseas tours iraq, korea. I find it interesting that America would declare war on terror. Is this even possible? First terrorism is only a form of combat. Declaring war on terror is similar to declaring war on airbourne drops its just a way of fighting. Second what if we are wrong? I know its hard to comprehend that we as Americans can be wrong. But what if having superior weapons doesn't give you the moral high ground. To understand this better I believe you have to put yourself in the shoes of the "enemy". What if you have been wronged by a great power how would you fight back? would you run out in the field only to be cut down by an abrams tank. Or would you fight anyway you could? Is it the only war they can fight or is it terror?

Other counties have many parties in their parliaments. I don't like how this country offers only two choices. Very often the parties seem in cahoots with each other. I wanted to see the reform party get bigger but I never hear anything about it anymore. If the Greens would stop it with the marijuana promotion they could be taken more seriously. Why should someone who is conservative on social issues like abortion feel that they have to vote Republican, when they may in fact want a clean environment? I just don't believe that a two party system is objective enough and I would like to see if others agree.

I live in Colorado. I was told this by a Chicana married to a Mexican immigrant. She says that if an immigrant who is already a naturalized citizen is convicted of domestic violence, he can have his citizenship revoked. It seems to me this is a Federal level, and a violation of citizen's rights to revoke for anything less than spionage and/or treason. What do you know?

I am talking about deaf people who are sign language users. There are many deaf men who would make excellent soldiers, with good strategist minds. Seriously, with mobile phones and text messages, and lipreading abilities, what are the logical reasons for excluding deaf men from the military? I can understand one, night time operations... but with night vision goggles? Is it now time for deaf men to be included? Or is it still too dangerous?

Yeah, you heard me...even if they only serve ONE TERM, they continue to receive full pay, insurance, etc. until they die.

Adding to that tidy sum... when they leave their jobs on the Hill, they typically take six figure jobs in the private sector, join the professional lecture circuit and sit on boards of corporations
-for A LOT more money.
ANd we're not just t
Even at $162,000 per year (their average salary) - a senator in their 50's living 30 more years will rake in more than $4,860,000- and that's just salary-no the cost to us for their benefits.

These people have won the fricking LOTTERY.

When OUR jobs are not secure in America and when our economy is in the toilet- do you think WE THE PEOPLE should cancel the "free ride for life" for our elected officials and put those MULTI MILLIONS of dollars back into programs we need for our children, our elderly and our own health care?

In my humble opinion-two years of severance is ENOU

I let my brother use my washer and when he moved he asked our other brother to pick it up. when he went to pick it up the landlord told him that he took the washer and put it into storage. I called and talked to the secretary and she told me that because my brother that rented the appartment still owes a balance of 925.00 that they won't give me back my washer. I was not the tenant in the complex and only let my brother borrow my washer. I can proove ownership of the washer. Can the landlord keep my washer even if my brother is the one who owes the money? Please I need help with this.

I think he is the biggist corperate whore to ever be placed in the presidency. President Reagan would laugh at him if he were still alive and well.

There was a time that people fought for the right to vote and now the number of people who actually vote is disgraceful. I'm tired of hearing people complain about the President and other politicians when it turns out that they aren't even registered voters. I feel like I have earned my right to an opinion with my vote. What do you think?

Aen't we being hypocrites. Some say that the U.S and those countries aren't going to use the nuclear weapons, they just want to have them. Who are we to tell Iran and N. Korea not to have those weapons???

When will our leaders in Washington lead by example? Like taking pay and staff reductions. Shouldn't they make some sacrifice? Since we are in two wars and a war on terror?
I see the middle class making big sacrifices, not to exclude the Military who makes the ultimate sacrifice at times.
