Politics & Government - 31 August 2006

It is usually the Governors who are in charge of the National Guard in their respective states. Why would Bush want to put them under his command instead and make his office more powerful. Is it just the border issue or is there a hidden agenda?

"NOTHING" - Bush himself.

The United States has threatened swift action on sanctions after Aug. 31 if Iran does not heed the UN demand. But Russia and China, both major trading partners with Iran, have been unwilling to impose sanctions and could frustrate such a move in the Security Council.In the first seven months of 2006, Chinese trade with Iran reached $7.9 billion, a jump of 43.9 percent on the same period last year, driven by rising Iranian oil exports, according to Chinese Customs statistics.


Russia singed a billion dollar contract Dec 05 to ugrade the Iranian militrary - will the US have to back down or face China and Russia?

There's an expression which goes, " People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people" Do u think thats true? Can a wholenation rise up to its government and make them heard? Or is a government more powerful and its artillery more than enough to crush its whole population?

I really would like to know if a party with the following description exist:

1. Economically very liberal (more taxes on the rich and less taxes on the poor).
2. Free post secondary education for all (college).
3. Extreme work on trying to advance all people below the poverty line by giving them extra training or whatever else help they need to achieve a better life.
4. Free health care.
5. Religious (in all its ways).
6. Uses war as a last option (good foreign policy so that everyone likes us).

I know the religious part is a turn off to alot of people, but I am not asking for opinions, I am asking wether or not it exists.

Thank you for your help (I have been reading online for a while but to no avail), take care, and remember to please be polite.

It is remarkable that Bush believes he can ignore a law, and protect himself, through a signing statement. Despite the McCain Amendment's clear anti-torture stance, the military may feel free to use torture anyway, based on the President's attempt to use a signing statement to wholly undercut the bill.

Let’s impeach the president for lying
And leading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door
He’s the man who hired all the criminals
The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors
And bend the facts to fit with their new stories
Of why we have to send our men to war
Let’s impeach the president for spying
On citizens inside their own homes
Breaking every law in the country
By tapping our computers and telephones
What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees
Would New Orleans have been safer that way
Sheltered by our government’s protection
Or was someone just not home that day?
Let’s impeach the president
For hijacking our religion and using it to get elected
Dividing our country into colors
And still leaving black (and poor) people neglected
Thank god he’s racking down on steroids
Since he sold his old baseball team
There’s lot of people looking at big trouble
But of course the President is clean.
THANK GOD

yes, i know hes canadian. and i also know he gives a bigger d.a.m.n than a lot of americans do.

and as far as helping the poor, he's done more than most. he's libertarian, if you knew anything about that, you'd know the reply to your comment. try doing more charity, then maybe you'd get the same respect he does by millions.

U.S. President George W. Bush called for "consequences to Iran's defiance," saying the "world now faces a grave threat from the radical regime in Iran."


"We must not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon," Bush said in a speech in Salt Lake City. He said Washington hoped for a diplomatic solution, but insisted "it is time for Iran to make a choice" whether to co-operate with the United Nations.

What does George mean by that ? Nuking Iran , sanctions?

A bully scratches in a profanity word on someone else's locker, and the owner of that locker sees it, wanting to paint over it so one could see it. However, he can't without getting permission from the principle, and he says no u can't. If the owner of the locker takes things into his own hands n paints the locker anyway, would it be considered vandalism against school property??? Just curious!!

Most of the conservatives on here are "parrotting" bush, coulter, o'reilly, limburger, and hannity's statements that liberals are soft on terror and are not worried about our country. So why did bush try to sell our security to Arab leaders who had ties with terrorist groups? Isn't HE suppose to be so tough with terrorism? Seems he didn't have a clue. Go ahead and make stupid statements or name-call if you want, it only makes you look stupid because you can't answer the question...
