Who has been holding onto these sexually explicit IMs for three years? If the Democrats really cared about children, this information should have been brought out immediately. But they wait 5 weeks before an election. This is an October suprise that will backfire of the Dems.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert said an hour after he learned of the IMs, Foley was gone. He took immediate action.
Now remember the e-mails that Hastert knew about were not sexually explicit. They were just chit chat and Foley was warned about that. But these IMs were sexually explicit and Hastert acted immediately when he learned of them. There are people in the Democrat party that are putting children at risk for political gain.

In 2000 I think McCain would've made a much better Republican candidate and I'm still trying to figure out why the Democrats went with Kerry in 2004. What really goes on behind the scenes?

Do you think that international politics today has turned more money-orientated and economic power and away from ideology or not.
Which is more important to you?

why do left-wing talk radio shows require donations from listeners, while right-wing shows are fully funded by the station? is it because left-wing talk radio shows are so disagreeable that they have to pay the station to stay on air? for example air america, funded by george soros. right-wing shows dont need funding from people or groups, seems there are stations that are ready to pay them to stay on air.

Here is what I think. Abortion is not right in my opinion and it has nothing to do with Religion. It is plain wrong, though sometimes it is justifiable speacially at times of rape and incest. In general I think abortion is wrong because no one has a way of predicting what kind of person the child will be. On the other hand criminals on death row already have shown what kind of persons they are and have committed hidieous crimes.

That's my opinion, what do you think and what is your opinion? And yes I would be what you consider a Liberal.

SOME Republicans on here seem to happy the deficit will only be 250 billion dollars!

Pardon me, we have a 8 trillion dollar national debt.....and some people are happy the deficit will be 250 billion? Rediculous. We have way too much debt to celebrate.

The deficit needs to be ZERO! And the national debt needs to be paid down.

According to this NY Times article, which is partly based on a Wall Streed Journal article, the answer is yes.

voters are clearly disgusted. removing money out of the political process is the only solution. if we can blow $500 billion in iraq, we can certainly afford to finance elections using gov money giving equal expose to all parties......i know the politicians would fight it,,,,,,here's the kicker, they work for us, vote em out if they dont support it.

Would I be able to win if I sued over this smoke issue?
I moved into an apartment in January. As soon as I did I noticed I smelled cigarette smoke often. I'd open the doors to see if someone was smoking outside so I could ask them to go somewhere else, but I never saw anyone. I finally came to the conclusion it was seeping in from a neighboring unit. To make my story not so long, lets just say I made much correspondence back and forth with the apartment complex, and the final outcome was that they would not do anything for me. They said I could live with it or move out. Well, of course I had to move out because not only is it dangerous to my and my husbands health, but I had a 5 month old baby that could die from sids because of it. I have plenty of proof to back up how unsafe second-hand smoke is, esspecially to children, my problem is I don't have any physical proof that there actually was second-hand smoke getting into my apartment (how could you?) If I take this to small claims court, can I win? Any advice? Please, serious only
