Politics & Government - 6 October 2006

I have been listening to Republicans complain about what Democrats knew about the Mark Foley thing. What difference does that make? Republicans knew about this thing for years, had all the power in Washington and still did nothing.

Even assuming the Democrats knew anything, what could they do? They don’t have majority on any committee, they do not have subpoena power, or anything.

This is a Republican issue and theirs alone.

"so you hate immigration"
"so you're racist"
"so you're the KKK"

no no and no

It is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Use the proper way into this country and you have my support.

It is not RACIST, KKK, violent, or vigilante to want to protect your borders. If you disagree you're wrong.

Who needs logic, facts, rational thought when you have faith that George is always right in all things (Could that be why W never will admit to making a mistake?)?

I am a smart guy, I get good grades but I fear just a tad bit too little for the academies. If I wanted to join for 8+ yrs, what are my other options besides inlisting or going to an academy? I am not talking the reserves.

I know with a ROTC program, you go to colledge and train in the summer, is there a similar option for non-reservists?
By the way please don't respond in order to push your political rhetoric. Don't waste my time.

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR.
After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and
George asks him his name.
"Stanley," responds the little boy.
"And what is your question, Stanley?"
"I have 4 questions:
First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don't
have health insurance?"
Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddiesthat they
will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right: question
time. Who has a question?"
Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him his
name.
"Steve," he responds.
"And what is your question, Steve?"
"Actually, I have 6 questions.

Personally, I think it is because we've become too complacent. We're not grateful for our freedom, we take it for granted. We live in a 'I want it right now!' society.

Please answe WITHOUT laying blame on any particular group of people, thank you...Salam Aliakum.

Have been reading history, reviewing recent history on watchingHistory channel, and Discovery ch. , and LINK TV, and it seems to me the Arabs are not wrong in judging they have been oppressed by the US elite and persecuted heavily in recent times in some countrys. I'm not saying they are good at running their own affairs but I think I would have no problem pointing to many facts and teaching the desinfranchised that Westerners have been medling in their affairs for profit and power for a long time and on occasion committed atrocities. Given that and how caucasions have reacted with the same provocation, and oppression (by that same group who are also caucasions)
did we not act in a similar manner as they are now.

The major problem for us being we (I in this case) had to put forth great effort to discover what our media never has. We have a real news problem. I remember when I was a child how our teachers and the News then condemned the Soviets for doing what our news is do now

Some think the more high-profile right wing talking heads such as Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter are really not that sincere and are just out to make money. If so, then they are not "nuts" but just opportunists, trying to gain attention and an audience by being controversial. Their commercial success would tend to encourage future highly polarizing positions on issues. My question deals with their motives - Do you believe they really believe what they say or write all the time, and do you think such strong beliefs makes them nuts? Or do you think we are all being "played" for fools, and they are laughing all the way to the bank?

What a joke! They publish some sob story or School kid on the front page several times a week to play the invasion of illegals into some kind of diversity acceptance issue. Soon I will have enough video to finish my web site proclaiming N.W.Arkansas a disaster area.

Using foul language and shouting at everyone over some silly "report". I've been reported a lot and continue to do so, I'm not cursing anyone. What's with these aggressive human beings? And the truth, puh-lease, you can't handle the truth!

But you do have the right to speak freely. So more power to you on that. But maybe next time use it in a more positive way. Yes?

They do more and more comercial for "not to vote this November."
I can understand what they think and what they want. Because I also feel very disappointed of our country or politican.

However, I am curious who support "dontvote.com"? I can not find out any benefit they can get from those comercial.
