There are a lot of 3rd parties out there.

The libertarians are the largest, and have won a few minor elections. They are the exception.

But what about the obscure 3rd parties, that have all these great sounding patriotic names?

As it ever dawned on them that scaring people to death doesn't work? As an example, the Prohibition Party, wants to legislate morality and ban all alcohol, the Constition Party just wants guns everywhere and are lead by Pat Buchannan wanna be's, etc.

Of course, they hate gov't funding......but they ALL want federal matching funds! Hypocrites.

I'm not against 3 parties. But unless they quit being extremists, they will never win. If they are so smart, why can't they get elected?

My question is, why do obscure 3rd parties have patriotic names, when they are nothing more than extremists?

Most say bin Laden is there... yet we just allow them to take care of it?

yet we invade Iraq to get Saddam?

we're trusting a dictator that took over in a military coup... to find bin Laden... the man who killed 3,000?

again... for those that have trouble seeing the question... "Pakistan, should the U.S. be doing more about it?"... and I'm quite curious to see what you guys have to say... maybe I can learn something...

It gets a little old. Obviously Bush has made some mistakes. But the media almost always casts Bush in a negative light while showing democratic politicians in a glowing white light.

Take Hurricane Katrina for instance. Ray Nagin can sit around doing nothing while a hurricane wipes out his town knowing that there were 500 school busses sitting in a parking lot that could have evacuated people and then go on TV and make racist comments about "chocolate cities" and the media pretty much gives him a pass.

Bush on the other hand, who warned people 2 days before to evacuate, doesn't personally fly down and hold the floodwaters back himself gets beaten by the media for over a year.

These police pulled over an innocent family on vacation by false information, made them all get on the ground and brutally murdered a sweet little puppy with a high powered shotgun.

Do you think that these police should be promoted? How about a paid vacation at taxpayers expense for their consequences(I mean reward)

http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/01/09/police.kill.dog/

Do you think that this type of standard behavior by police is right.

Here is a cops response to the killing.

Do you think it's right.
1. The police are doing a felony stop, thier info is that this car contains the perosn who did a armed robbery. So they beleive a armed person is in that car and they are dangerous.

2. don't matter what people look like a 12 year old with a gun can be a killer or a granny with a gun can be. So the police will follow procedure to do a felony stop.

3. Procedure for a felony stop is to get two or three police cars on the scene as soon as possible, you have the cars staged behind the suspects car. You order them out and get them handcuffed and on the ground.

You then leave the doors of the car open ( they have to stay open to do this correctly) you then have a officer do a clearing walk of the auto, and then finally have them open the trunk to check to be sure no one is hiding in the trunk.

4. Dog is not obeying any commands and officers are bite or attacked by dogs, so these dogs could have been a danger.

5 I happen to know the officers invovled in this personally, and they are wonderful officers who do a good job and would not want to harm anyone unless they had to. And they love animals and do regret what they did, but it was done by procedure and would happen again in the same situation.

Actually when the man stood up, he is lucky he was not either maced , tazered or even shot, since he was disobeying a command to stay down and his actions could have been considered an attack on the officer.

Plus once they were arrested if they had keep thier mouths shut and not yelled and yelled, the situation may have not happened exactly that way either, ( they most likley excieted the dog with thier yellling)

so when a officer kills a possible dangerous animal while doing a felony arrest, I don't see the problem,

it always look bad when you wash it up and don't put it as it really happeend.

Ok, it turns out they were not the wanted people, but untill it was all over, the officers did nto know that. So when it was happening, they beleived they had dangerous wanted people being arrested.

And no the officers don't stand at the door and discuss it, they follow the procedures for that arrest and once the people are in custody, then they discuss.

You may not like proper procedures but they are in place for a reason,

Any advice out there? He's a subber--no lease. Haven't squoze a cent out of him yet. He's given us a 1k rent check twice--both bounced. (We have copies.) Both times, he was aware that his account was empty and wrote the check anyway. Once I get him out of my apartment (which is job one, as you can imagine), can I take him to civil court/claims court/press criminal charges in an effort to get my money back? Anybody know who I should approach first to make a report? Thanks all, and please don't laugh. I feel silly about it already...sheesh!

I spoke to a neocon today regarding this and his claim was "no". I don't know but it seems to me if you are signing trade agreements, setting a minimum wage and controlling interest rates then you just might have an effect on someone's worklife.

Don 't be fooled with this question.

WE all remember that the current President of the United States came in second in sofar as popular vote.

Even if the winner gets a majority vote, does that guarantee that 'the people' dictate to the the government ?

Or does the government dictate to the people ?

All the debate seems to center on the war, and on Americans who torture in Iraq and Guantanamo, when the important issues at home, such as poverty, education, health care, homelessness, and inequality are all ignored by the Republican dominated legislature. What has happened to our priorities??

Hello fellow Republicans.......

It's time for a big 10 foot tall wall along the Mexican border! Complete with guards, guns, dogs, and lots of barbed wire!!

Of course, it would look just like the BERLIN WALL! And we all know how effective that was! We can be just like them!

No need for wall across Canada.....they are WHITE!

Walls haven't been a good defense since the middle ages, but who cares?

Even though one build can build a ladder to get over it, or dig under it, or cut a hole through it, or just walk around it....it makes no difference.......walls worked good 1000 years ago....and they'll work now.

Next, we can build an ATLANTIC WALL, just like Hitler! That was just as successful as the Berlin Wall!

Fellow Republicans, will you support more walls to save America?
