Politics & Government - 19 July 2006

A friend of mine claims that he recently saw a video and heard news of Osama Bin Laden has been captured. I haven't heard anything. Have I just not been listening to enough news?

I'm not interested in conspiracy theories of "He's in Bushes/Kerry's guest room," Or where he's hiding. I just want to know, has he been captured?

Off duty they speed and don't obey any traffic laws. If pulled over they say they are a police officer and they let them go. Why do they have those gay police shields in the window? Is that a free pass to drive anyway you want to? And what are the pba cards for anyway? Is that a free pass also? I think internal affairs should check into this,than again, they probably do the same thing! Feed-up in new jersey!

Here is a chance to enhance medical research, and find possible cures to many diseases, including Parkinson's; so why did the president refuse it!?

I just bought an apartment complex that has 24 apartments in it.

I do not wish to rent to anyone that is a republican because of their support for this illegal war in iraq, and i do not like their values and do not wish to have them there and bring down the value of the complex. Is this legal? Can I ask them to provide voter registration before I accept a lease contract with them? I just dont want anyone from that party that has supported sended our brave troops in harms way based on lies and fabrications. I love America and I love the freedom we use to have. I just dont care to associate with an extremist political group.

thanks

I personally take the view that politicians are elected to represent the views of the people that voted for them. So I think that when the majority of a population hold one opinion, the politicians should fight for this opinion, even if they personally disagree.

Some people on the other hand feel that the purpose of politicians is to do what they think is best, and we elect them for this purpose because we're not qualified to make the big and important decisions ourselves.

Which way do you look at it and why?

Evne if someone says something bad about our goverment, it is thier right. There was a question here"Do you think Bush Lies" it was that person right to say that. Yet they were forced to take it off. WE are a free country, althought they are trying to change that. If you don't agree fine, but they have a right to say it.

Specifically in California, how does the attorney determine how much to sue for? Does anyone know the outcome of cases of improper administration of Kenalog resulting in subcutaneous atrophy? Assuming the case does not go to trial, how does the physician's insurance company come up with a counter offer to settle?

Thanks!

This is what another Yahoo Answers user wrote to me in an e-mail.

I'm not a woman, and it isn't murder. You want to force your religious beliefs on me, I won't burn your church, but I may cheer when the angry women do it

So they cheer while unborn babies are killed and churches burn. What can I say but Hitler lives again.

A few minutes ago, George W. Bush used his presidential veto for the very first time when he overturned a bill passed by Congress that would expand desperately needed federal funding for stem cell research.

Think about that for a moment. For five and a half years, Bush never saw fit to veto a single bill. But now, when Congress votes to support research that could save millions of lives, Bush breaks out his veto stamp for the first time.

Stem cell research has shown promise in treating Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, cancer, spinal cord damage, and countless other conditions and injuries. It could change the lives of every family affected by them -- spouses, parents, children. But with one small action, Bush has robbed millions of Americans and their families of hope for effective treatments.

It is indefensible that President Bush's first veto could cost of millions of lives. We need to stop him.

It's up to Congress to overturn the veto and restore the hope Bush has taken away. But that won't happen without a huge outpouring of public support to garner the votes we need in the House and Senate. Sign on today to stand with Hillary in favor of overturning Bush's stem cell veto.

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/stemcellresearch

President Bush had a choice. He could use his authority to put America on the side of life-saving science and research, or he could issue his first-ever veto to stop research, denying hope to millions of Americans. It's clear he chose wrong.

I doubt there's a single one of us whose life hasn't been touched by a disease or an injury that stem-cell research could one day help alleviate or even cure. With virtually limitless promise, this research is far too important for arbitrary restrictions.

Join Hillary in support of stem cell research and tell Congress to overturn Bush's unconscionable veto.

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/stemcellresearch

Thanks for your support, and please be sure to spread the word to your family and friends.

Today's Presidential veto of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research is based on relious beliefs regarding the definition of 'life'

There are no laws that define life as beginning at conception - and the current legal status of abortion would seem to suggest that, legally, it does not. Should a President make decisions based on personal faith? does this affect his ability to represent the entire American public?

One good answer from all the people that disagree with Bush's veto. The questioner's agreeing answerers simply give insults. Is that the best they can do? ONE FREAKING GOOD ANSWER? Now scroll down the list and look at the people who agree with Bush's veto, and how they explain their arguement. Can you Libs please come up with better arguements than simple insults? I'm so tired of it.

Anyone got any problems with the articles about government operations in the newspapers, or with what the government has said about them? Aka, the article that disclosed the government's following of the financial data of "terrorists". Or the incident with Google. Or when Congress found out its information from the newspaper instead of... from the President?

I only note this fact because there are many here who gleefully talk about the 'fight against terror' but then condone terror when it's someone else experiencing it.

I hear that a lot of illegals seek assistance to get here and it is very expensive, so how expensive is it? As Warriorbabe pointed out we have a friend that recently came to this country on a visa, obtained legal citizenship and all he had to do was have a year of residency and pay fees that totaled less than $500, I know that this can not be the fabled “years” and “incredibly expensive” I keep hearing about. And INS sometimes waives the fees!? So some one educate me on how much this “coyote” makes please!!
