muslims illegally or... Well you get the idea.

And who are the Republicans outraged about? The poor hungry Mexican who doesn't even make minimum wage while doing back breaking work? I don't think so.

Ok...what's up with people blaming alcohol for their inappropriate actions. First Mel Gibson and now Condressman Mark Foley. I just found out this guy is now in rehab. What happen to jail? And if I heard anything supporting the "boy love" theory I'm going to puke!

Or at the very least, the young men who were subjected to Foley's advances? Isn't this the kind of corruption that happens when either party remains in power for too long?

From what I understand, a discovery is some kind of evidence against someone. I need to find out and find out if there is a limit on the time for it to be transfered from one lawyer to another.

I'm flabbergasted. Someone actually took the time to redo the maps for the clinton elections (92 and 96) on wikipedia so that Dems are blue and Repubs are red. Just a little while ago they were red for Democrats and blue for Republicans. Red is a radical color. Blue is a conservative color. They changed this in 2000 when the Florida mess was on TV every day.

Now they're making new maps for past Presidential elections to switch the colors around. I might sound crazy to some, but they're switching the colors around for a reason. This country is mostly conservative. These colors affect the way that people think of the parties (whether they know it or admit it, or not) and makes the Republicans look like the radicals. Speaking of which ... when will the Republican party get back into the hands of small-government conservatives?

This illegal alien drove a bus that was holding elderly passengers fleeing hurricane Rita last year in Texas. The breaks stopped working caught on fire and the driver continued. People were yelling at him but he didnt stop. The oxygen tanks from the elderly caught on fire and killed 23.One month prior he was caught speeding on another bus tour and released. He failed to do required inspections 90% of the time and had only 5 hrs of sleep. He lied on his driving books and is now still working as a truck driver in loredo texas. the government released him and said if he told the gov that the truck company made him lie that they would release him. They did and he didnt get jailed. Do you think he should have gotten the death chair? Last time I heard truck drivers make 39,000 average in Texas. Should the state trooper that caught him speeding and released him be fired?

Are you more upset when authority figures (congressman, teachers) have inappropriate relationships with teenage girls than teenage boys? I try not to, but it niggles the back of my mind.

Think beautiful blond teacher, the responses to Foley's IM's from the underage boy.

I'm not excusing anything. THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT BUT ACTUAL QUESTION.

Hi,

We lended about $67000 to a person we know for business a year ago. He agreed to 20% a year (written on small piece of paper). Now When we went to get the printed promissory note signed, he declined to sign our promissory note and made us sign a promissory note with only 3%!!. We had no choice since we had already lent the money. We already got a judgement for $670000 + 3% because he never showed up to court after defaulting.

isnt that illegal? he clearly took advantage of us because we did not have the hard copy version of the promissory note ready? could i get criminal charges involved for him doing that and forcing us to agree to only 3%? The prospect of such charges will probably make him pay up atleast.

Which is worse in your opinion?

2006-10-03 12:53:04 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Politics

punishment. Just a slap on the wrist for committing the FELONY OF PERJURY. Mark Foley goes and commits a horrible criminal act as well but he immedately resigns his post. Mark Foley will likely face jail time fro his dirty deed. But Clinton will never be properly punished for committing his crime. Why the double standard? Besides, it has not been proved that Foley even molested a teenage page yet. It is likely he did, but we just do not know for sure since it is too soon in the investigation.

Either way, he is a very sick man. And Bill Clinton is in complete denial he did anything wrong as well. If you ask me that is a sign of mental illness.

Bill Clinton also did absolutely nothing to get Bin Laden before 911 during his 8 long years as President. The presidential archives have already proven it to be true.

Liberals are dangerous. They need to be put down hard at election time. Teach them a lesson they will never forget.

People, other nations attack America because it represents greed and totalitarian rule all over the world. America is not an innocent, not by a long shot. The U.S.A. is no longer operating under the principles upon which it was founded. America's primary concern at this time is to protect the interests of wealthy shareholders, whose interests do not reflect those of the public at large, or the global environment itself. If you can't see that, than you have been brainwashed by American propaganda, and you would do well to educate yourself about what is happening in our world. The environment is quickly deteriorating, the poor are needlessly suffering, and the fat cats are smoking their cigars with no concern for the future of humanity or this world. WAKE UP!
