So it's election season and I am thinking what I would say if I could run. Tell me what you think:
~Government can and should be better. Everybody knows we need some level of government, but we argue over how much there should be. We need to set our priorities and only spend on those things. Let's cut the fat and put tax dollars where they're most needed.
~Protecting our vote needs to be top priority - everybody gets their one vote. If a state wants to use a voting machine, they have to prove the machine works first. No vote challenges without evidence, and every vote will have a paper ballot.
~The "war on terror" will be won by the intelligence community, not by men on the ground with M16s. We need to support our fighting men and women, not over-extend them. Stop looking sideways at people with certain backgrounds and use our resources better.
~Bring back privacy! Your SS# is yours, your credit data is yours. Nobody gets them without your permission.
I'll respond as you answer.

As the U.S. and the world has been distracted by Iraq, in their attempts to destroy "Evil" Somalia has been taken over by Islamic Extremists who run most of the country and rule by strict Arabic Tribal Customs. This is the real danger facing us in the next decade. What do you think?

Because that was the name when the group started, and most people are too stupid to realize that we've abandoned that concept. They just blame the other side for denying what is "obvious", which in reality means both sides are missing the point.

We would be the Divided States of America, if we didn't have a totalitarian federal government enforcing rules and holding the country together with bribery and economic force.

There is no true representation of the people any more. We have become a system where those with money and power get to make the rules, and those without either find loopholes to survive, or get trampled on.

Maybe it is time for God to just wipe everything from the face of the map by fire and start over. Because nobody seems to have any inclination to fix the problem, and things just keep getting worse

In the state of NC I was falsely accused 2x for communicating threats, the cases were dismissed. I am a professional and have no criminal record and although I have not been convicted of a crime my face is plastered on the charmeck website for all to see. Even though it is noted that no one should be denied employment or housing for an arrest record, people do it any way because this diminishes your character. yeah yeah you can get one of them expunged for an outrageous fee, but why? I think it is a violation of my constituional rights and my face and name should be removed from their database. also if you report something that you now know is not true is it not defamation of character?

The unemployment rate is based on people recieving benefits. IF they are KICKED Off in 6 weeks, does that then mean that they recieved a job?
So, do you ever wonder what the REAL unemployment rate is in our country?

Do you agree with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who warned, “There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don’t ‘own’ it, they want to destroy it.”

Isn't this scenario taking place right now with illegal immigration/people who have no stake in this society?

Do you know they do it with serrated kitchen knives? Did you know they saw our heads off with kitchen knives? So if you thought they used swords to quickly dispatch us you were wrong. Have you ever seen a Christian child's body after it was dismembered by Muslims? Now can you take a moment and just try to love our people more than you hate Bush? Stop defending our enemy because you hate Bush.

It is with Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsing President Bush. One of the captions in this commercial is there are 130,000 US troops in Iraq. Which made me wonder how many people are in a troop. Would that be People in a troop x Troops in Iraq = Total US Soldiers in Iraq? Or is a troop considered on single soldier?

the war on terror started with Osama bin Laden, and his pro-Islamic terrorists, the al-Qaeda, responsible for attacking the US on 9-11, because they wanted the West to stay out of the Middle East, as well as 1993 bombing of the WTC, 1995 truck bombing of Saudi National Guard, 1998, Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania,,, why can't the US capture the worlds #1 terrorist, and stop the war on terror?
we know where bin Laden is, why does George W. Bush not hold Pakistan accountable for protecting him, after all Bush did promise, that no distention would be made between terrorists and those who harbor them?
Bush says five years later that the US has to be invited to search inside Pakistan for the most wanted terrorist mastermind in the world,,, is this true, or just another Bush lie?
Osama is not in Iraq, he never was, why has Bush invaded and toppled Saddam, causing ,,, 200,000 US troops to get bogged down there,, while Osama has continued to train new Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists?

White nationalists, and neo-nazis, and skinheads believe that. But will there ever be one? If so, what races will be involved? I'm not obsessed with war or anything, I just want an answer. I'm not saying I want it. That would be the worst war in world history. So, what races would be involved? Please answer.

I would be happy if the Bush administration created a better world, a more peaceful, prosperous world. Replace the surplus (as promised) bring the US and the world into a level of modern progress and peaceful co-existence-
No, I will NOT be upset if this happens- then I would say, Bush would be the greatest president ever! - How SUPER GREAT!!

BUT COME ON NOW, does it look like he can do anything close to that in his remaining 2 years?
ROFL!!!!!!!!!

Do you think if everyone refused and stopped paying income tax until our government brought home our troops would work? The government can't put everyone in jail. It would send a message to our government that WE THE PEOPLE!!!!! are still in charge of this country

I am unsure here.

After the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, in November 1979, Iran was public enemy number one; only a few years later, emissaries of Washington were selling arms to the Iranian mullahs and using the proceeds to finance a guerrilla war against the new adversary, the Sandanistas of Nicaragua - while both Britain and the USA were helping Saddam Hussein prosecute his own battles against the Iranians.

Washington applauded Saddams invasion of Iran in September 1980, which precipitated a decade of war, yet when he tried the same trick in Kuwait then years later, the full might of Nato was mobilised against `the Hitler of the Gulf`.

The declared purpose of GW Bushs Afghan war was to destroy Al Qaeda and the Taleban and to install a regime repecting womens rights and promote secular education. Yet throughout the 1980s Reagan offered financial and political support to fundamentalists whose sole wish was to unseat such a Govt.

Who is our countrys main enemy?
