I would love to be able to vote for someone that I thought was intelligent, ethical and experienced but that never seems to be an option. Wouldn't anyone else vote based on this? If not why do people vote for candidates that obviously have none of these qualities (Republicans and Democrats). Is it one issue? what issue? Is it something else... what?

I personally think that he overstated the severity of the problem.

By the way.......The reason the plan was shot down is that the numbers he was using were misleading. He talked about "an 11 trillion dollar SSI deficit". The problem was that the number was reached by stretching the math into the year INFINITY (yes, that is true. you can research this yourself).

If you type in your home address (US only) It will show you a satellite pic of the house, how much is it valued at, square footage, how much your taxes are etc. Does it worry you that all that information is so easily available??

Once and for all, to all you individuals that want Bush impeached. Based on the Constitution, which is the only guide for this action that there is, what are the "high crimes and misdemeanours" that Bush has committed.

Don't tell me anything about lying to anyone. Lying in and of itself is not a crime. You will say Clinton was impeached for it. Yes, he was impeached for lying to a Grand Jury which is a legal crime for which he was convicted and sentenced prior to his impeachment.

Don't tell me anything about an illegal war anywhere because Congress gave him the power to go to war after 9/11, against all terrorism. In that act they also gave him the power to have all the necessary means to fight that war.

So already barring anything related to those two areas what "high crimes and misdemeanours" has Bush committed while in office?

Pleaase bring forth all your proof for the trial as this is the time of discovery!!!!

Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture but most of the people I know who are immigrants have large families and don't seem to be concerned about how many babies they bring into the world. Is this true? If so, is there a reason for it? Is this a big, medium, little or no problem at all for the USA ...or even the world? Gobal warming and all that? More people ....more warming?

Statistics overwhelmingly show that states with high gun ownership, and in particular, the easy ability to obtain concealed carry permits, have lower crime rates. Still, our politicians think they can "save" us by restricting our access to guns. Without being too cliche, that leaves the law-abiders defenseless against the bad guys, who still have guns.

I'm from The People's Republic of California. We have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and they do nothing. Crime continues to out-pace the rest of the nation. I can cross the border into Nevada and obtain an out-of-state concealed carry permit. Many, many states have similar laws.

Yet "the people" continue to vote for politicians that propose more restrictive gun laws, statistics be damned.

What would be an effective means for educating the people AND our politicians that less restrictive gun laws lead to more law and order?

Like most vetrans who saw much action he didn't say much. Dad, A Lt. Col. was a member of Third Army,8th corps, AntiAircraft, his insignas were the circled A and crossed motars. I suspect the honours could be for: being part of the organization leading up to the landing at Normandy, actions at Normandy. Liberating Oldorf Nord, Dad was there for 4-6 weeks including Ike's tour.He establised and mantained the copper communication lines into and out of Bastogne. However I don't know anything for certian, like I said Dad didn't talk about his medals. One of his immidiate commanders was Col. Wolf. After Normandy Dad's unit(8th corps) basically followed the Rine intil the Buldge when it was destroyed as a unit.(The 8th's listed on the memorial on the hill over looking the battlefield, the family visited it in 72'). At the end of the war he was stationed very near "Stalin's" troops.

I have sent for his records, however the pentagon tells me they were lost in a fire. Any ideas out there?

I read that statistics show that drunk drivers cause less accidents than people on cell phones do. Is there anything that is really THAT pressing that you cant wait until your car is parked? Is there anyone out there who has not had a close call because of a driver on the phone? Have a look at this list of countries that have and have not banned cell phones while driving. Buckle your seat belt and hang up the damn phone!
