Politics & Government - 31 August 2006

"But a reporter raised an issue about which Obama possesses more influence – dealing with American protectionism that hurts Kenyan farmers. Why, asked the reporter, do Americans retain farm subsidies and tariffs that prevent Kenyan farmers from competing in the world's biggest market?"
"Obama's response? He talked about the soybean farmers in Illinois, and said, "It's important to me to be sure I'm looking out for their interests. It's part of my job." Absolutely incredible."
"What should Obama have said? "You're right. America is a rich nation. You are a poor one. Poor nations generally turn into rich ones by starting out with agriculture. So when I get back to Washington, I'm going to tell my colleagues about the devastating real-world effect American protectionism has on poor nations."

Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are such liberal weenies. Let's do the moral thing and kill every last Iranian.

My landlord has used old railroad ties as steps for as long as I have lived in this house. The one step is loose and rotten. She has been asked to repair it and never has. About three weeks ago, I fell and hit my left knee into the concrete slab at the bottom. I scraped it up and it ached for several days but I didn't think any more of it. Now it is throbbing when I put weight on it(to the point where I can hardly stand), I went to the doctor's and he ordered an MRI. He said that I have torn cartilage from that fall. I am going to need surgery not to mention that I can hardly bear weight on that leg. I have been off work for several days. I have a consult scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon on Monday. I have been told that recovery can be long and painful. I am a single mother with two children to raise and have no other source of income. Should I file a claim against her homeowner's insurance or be happy that I wasn't holding the baby when I fell?

. .know the law to be a citizen, is it then right to punish them for something they did not know was a crime? If law enforcement cant tell if someone is lying about knowing a law or not, are they intelligent enough to be employed in law enforcement?

John Kerry risked his life in Vietnam, served bravely and honoraboy, and was even shot. Yet there are people who spread lies about his brave service for his country. I think it's outrageous that our brave soldiers are slandered. What do you think?

He fired her for no reason other than she was getting way too powerful with her recent speech giving and book sales. He was punishing her for being too successful, too close to him, and too much of a woman at the same time.

It really boggles the mind. It's beyond belief.

All the great generals have said Rumsfeld has no idea what he's doing. Yet Bush keeps him on.

Smart Democrats don't even have to come out against the war, all they have to do is agree with all the retiring generals who declare Rumsfeld an incompetent moron.

This is the key point: Is Bush more loyal to an incompetent Rumsfeld than he is concerned about the lives of our children in Iraq?

Bush's supporters should be defeated (in the elections) to keep an idiot in charge of the lives of our children in Iraq. Or am I wrong?
