Politics & Government - 30 August 2006

From what's I'm reading, Bush, the Generals in Iraq and the Iraq parliment is saying troops withdrawal is possible in 18 months. Now 18 months is great at least now we have a timeline but isn't it particularly close to when Bush is about to step down from office and the next election is being held? Does Bush want to leave on a good footing or help the next Republican candidate. I can't see any Republican winning the Presidency if we are still deeply in trenched in Iraq during the next election.

We need volume to get action. Please e mail your senators and congressman. Tell them what you think, preferably rationally, for more consideration.

of the poor, homeless, minorities, homosexuals, yet they use the those words and others like it to insult those who disagree with them? Then they call the opposition hatemongers? come on, is this tolerance and inclusion or is it more bigotry and hypocrisy?

If you vote for a democrat you are voting for empty promises, lies and degradation of your freedom.

What should be done with them once they are finally arrested?
Conversatives, all you that know and understand what's going on and are not doing anything about it are no better than the German people during the Third Reich!

Does the Constitution of the U.S. also protect disabled/mental children under 18? If so, why does Louisiana Office of Youth Development (regional office-Baton Rouge) not know this? Why can't children's mental records be presented in juvenile court? When a juvenile has a court appointed attorney, is it not logical for that attorney to inform the child's parents of the proceedings either through correnspondance via letter or telephone?

Who here is smart enough to realize the difference between what the President of Iran says and how it is translated? Are you smart enough to realize that when he says Israel does not have the right to exist as a nation he does not mean to slaughter all the Jews? Are you smart enough realize that the Zionist regime in Israel does more harm to us than good? Are you smart enough to realize that a ******* religion does not equal a country?

I am shocked to hear the right wing are demanding that our most closest and ertswhile friends are to be asked to requests Visas to visit us in the States. This sounds like fair weather friendship to me.

Would you then agree that that a federal judge that just overturned a verdict against Merck is also an activist judge?

There is truly no difference. They each protect their own political interests. Don't anyone even THINK about placing a double standard on that one!

Ok I work in law enforcement now and Ive seen several capital murder cases. Now you left wings love abortions and don't believe its murder. Ok then, do you remember scott peterson? you know killed his pregnant wife, well when he was tried, why was he tried and convicted for murdering the unborn son. Ive seen this before in other cases too. I thought you libs out there believed that, the unborn arent really people but simply a blob of tissue. so why have men been found guilty and sentenced to life or execution for killing the unborn? Why? isnt that a glob of tissue? or is it only a glob of tissue when a woman just dont want the baby so she kills it? is it only a glob of tissue when you want to win votes and money to the left wing agenda? So when a man kills the pregnant woman or harms her and the unborn inside dies then it was a person but when a teenager gets knocked up and goes to a clinic then its only a glob of tissues? is that your logic? Yeah, I see through that one

... many say that the main role of media is to be a government watchdog...

Is Fox News fullfilling this most basic role?

What major stories has Fox News broke of government corruption? (or do Fox News fans believe that the government is doing nothing wrong?)

Do I have grounds for a legitimate complaint? And how do I go about it if I do?

I don't know why and I had no prior knowledge of my mailman's intentions. It upsets me that he took a permanent marker and marked his ugly penmanship on my mailbox! He put our house number on big and sloppy. I have a nice mail box and it sits on a wooden post that HAS metal decal numbers of my address!!!!

Can I report him for writing on my mailbox he wrote on the inside and outside! I see it as vandalism and damage. I hate pulling up my hill seeing his ugly writing on it and it kills me to think I'm gonna have to paint the dang thing.

I applied for a job as a copy editor with an investment firm. I am highly qualified. I was tested, then interviewed by a comittee of five. After an hour of interviewing, I was told that I was no longer under consideration because I did not meet the requirement (NOT stated in the ad) of owning investments myself. Through no fault of mine, I have not been paid a living wage in seven years. The requirement that I hold investments - to edit copy - seems absurd and of doubtful legality. It discriminates against those trying to make a comeback, and those from the lower middle class who are "afraid" of investments and who need exposure to them in order to understand them.
