What’s wrong with the Democratic Party?

They turn around and vote with the corporations that are sponsoring them. They are as much controlled by corporations as the Republicans are. They don’t get their money from people who go to church, from people who are in schools, from people who are in private, non-profit organizations it is all about the source of the money which drives policy.

How do you view the current conflict between Israel and the people of Gaza and Lebanon?

I would propose that you, write, vote for and support legislation that would prohibit the U.S. government from supplying financial, material or military aid to any country that practices violence against its neighbors for an apartheid system within its own country.

Are you surprised that yet ANOTHER Republican is found to be corrupt?

Ney agreed to plead guilty to making false statements & conspiracy to commit fraud, make other false statements & violate U.S. lobbying restrictions. The charges could carry a prison sentence of up to 10 years & fines of up to $500,000 plus repayment of any improper gifts.

Ney improperly accepted trips to play golf, gamble or vacation in Scotland, New Orleans & New York between August 2002 & August 2003. The total cost of the trips by Ney & others exceeded $170,000, court papers said. Ney also admitted accepting meals & sports and concert tickets for himself & his staff from Abramoff & his lobbyists.

Ney accepted thousands of dollars worth of free casino chips from the foreign businessman & parlayed them into $50,000 in total gambling winnings playing card games. On one occasion, Ney gave $5,000 to a staff member to carry through U.S. Customs so that Ney could report receiving a lesser amount.

Are the Republicans proud of good ol Bobby Ney of Ohio?

If you are against Bush, why don't you get involved in the government and try to change things?

First off, I am for Bush, through and through. I have my reasons, but that is not the point of this question.

My point is, there are alot of people complaining about him, but they don't try to get off their rears and do something. Many of them don't have the education level or experience in politics to be able to handle a government job, yet they want to critisize someone who obviously does. If he didn't, he wouldn't have been elected and neither would those in congress.

It is easy to judge and say nasty things about the president, but I don't see any of these same people trying to do anything about it, other than complain.

(and that was my major in college before i dropped out). so my question is, is there anyone who has any familiarity with this occupation? i.e. experience or knows someone who has done it? and how did you like it, and what was it like. (well 3 questions rolled into one). thanks for your help!!!

Are we “one nation” or “one world,” or is it more like two--divided between the haves and have-nots?

Rich Pigs Suck

Their combined financial wealth is $33.3 trillion--more than the value of all the goods and services produced last year in every economy in the world except the U.S. Their wealth dwarfs--by 10 times at least--the annual income of half the world’s population, which lives on $2 a day or less.

Is the pope infallible? Is his moral authority unaltered by his comments and their consequences?

The pope has made certain comments about Mohammed today that have ignited a firestorm in the Islamic world.

Though one cannot say for certain, it is quite likely that Christian blood will be spilled in days to come.

There is a Catholic doctrine that the pope is infallible-at least when he speaks "ex cathedra." If lives were to be lost as a result of his comments, would you consider that doctrine to be still valid? More important, would you consider his moral authority to remain unscathed as a result?

Has President Bush finally gone insane?

"Bush urged lawmakers to quickly approve legislation authorizing military tribunals and harsh interrogations of terror suspects in order to shield U.S. personnel from being prosecuted for war crimes under the Geneva Conventions"

Why do our military personnel need immunity from human rights laws if we aren't doing anything wrong?
