...Signed this?

COPS is asking for your support to help pass Jessica's Law, the toughest sex offender law in the nation.

Jessica's Law is named in memory of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford, who was taken from her home in Homosassa, Florida, on February 23, 2005, and found brutally murdered three weeks later. A registered sex offender with an extensive criminal history and outstanding warrants for probation violations confessed to abducting, raping, and burying Jessica alive only 150 yards from her home.

With your help we can protect our children from dangerous sexual predators. Please sign the petition today.

I was watching the news, and Dubya was talking. He told a joke, and then laughed at it. My four year old said "Why is he laughing. That wasn't funny. It was stupid"

I think with that statement, he summed up the Bush administration better than any of us ever could.

they think if they keep going extremely to the left, it will cause their original positions to then become middle, or moderate?

That has to be it. People can't really be as far out left as they appear to be.

I AM spanish however, I think that it is wrong for American companies to put any other language on a package because we can't put all languages on the packages. What about the Indians and the asians. They never expect to see their language on packages. That seems kinda unfair to me. What do you think?

the police officer put the wrong date on the summons (he was off by 3 days, he put June 26th instead of 29th). Is the ticket still valid?

As a legal document, I would imagine that precedence would dictate that the information must be accurate to be binding.

Re Guantanemo Bay detainees... yes, some are certainly bad men, but they've been in jail for 4 or so years with no charges being laid...

I believe what sets 'developed' nations apart is that rights are protected, but once rights become 'selective' they disappear! Just as a murderer in the US should face court and be tried and sentenced - or released if there isn't enough evidence - shouldn't these people have the same rights ? Isn't 4 years is enough time to build a case ? And if it can't be done in 4, perhaps it can't in 6 or 8 or 10 years ! We must let murderers who we 'know' did the crime go if we can not build a case against them, that is the foundation of our justice system. If there are charges to be laid, sure, punish them to the full extent of THE LAW !

In any of these 'dilemmas', I always reverse the roles, and see if my reasoning stands... Wouldn't you be outraged if other countries were detaining our combatants in this same way ?

Your (reasoned) thoughts please...

Would you liberals be upset at her for cutting the funding to all those social programs, like Bill did?

You know, the ones that Bush gave funding back to.

I thought you democrats were into social programs?

Since this is one of the most controversial wars in U.S. history, I just wonder if the soldiers in Iraq aren't doing so well there or taking so long because they don't think they should even be there.

"Bush is the most popular president EVER, he's a uniter, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Now that he's sitting at around a %32, all you hear out of 'em is "Those polls are corrupt, they don't mean anything"

Really??? what a difference 5 years make. Just admit your boy blew all that goodwill he had built up to further a personal agenda.
