Why is there the double standard? When the CEO of Hewlett-Packard gets busted for illegally wiretapping, she steps down, when George Bush does it illegally, nothing happens? Is he above the law? Just trying to understand how a Democracy works....thanks

I'm in the United States, my friend is in United Kingdom. since we are both on disability payments from our governments (and will lose them if either of us move)
how can he come to U.S and stay with me while keeping his money? What type of U.S. government programs will help us with bills since neither of us can work?

does anyone have a U.K site similar to this U.S one?

He's certainly not a traditional conservative.
If he's a "compassionate" conservative, what does that mean? Who has he shown compassion for since he was first elected?

If Republican doesn't necessarily mean conservative anymore, what does it mean?

Liberals, traditionally, are those who want change, who aren't satisfied with the way things are, as well as having more tolerance for different styles of life and government. It is supposed to be someone who wants the government to have a large hand in financial affairs.

Conservatives, traditionally, wanted business and other matters to be private, without government interference. They are usually in power, and therefore want things to stay the same, and are more democracy-inclined

My question is: why do you think these definitions have been warped? Today, we associate liberal with democrats and conservative with republicans, and many people don't realize that they do not mean the same thing. Why do many politicians, Democrats in particular, take care not to be labeled as "liberal" as if it were a bad word, and sometimes the same thing with conservative? What do YOU think and why?

OR communists?

Where is the reasoning behind this?
is this just left over McCarthy propaganda stirred back up somehow after 9-11, who exactly propagated this?
Is Limbough to blame? There is a reason why they call the followers ditto heads....

It shouldn't be illegal, its the thieves fault if they die. The homeowners or buisness owners shouldn't be at fault.

Protesters greeted Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on his way to a campaign event for a Pennsylvania senator, and he briefly took refuge in a subway station supply closet to avoid the anti-Republican demonstrators.
The protesters, made up of members of the United Steelworkers union and the anti-war group Uprise Counter Recruitment, chanted, "Jeb go home!".

Could you give me the good and bad points, comparisons, for the candidates for the 2nd Congressional, 5th Senatorial, and 85th House Districts?

Also, objective resources aside from Factcheck and VoteSmart would help.

I'm not registered with any party, and I'm not party loyal, obviously since I'm not registered with one.

The conservatives don't look like they are conserving anything at all, they even stretch what the definition of a conservative even is. Bush is not a traditional conservative. based soley upon actions, they do for corporate interest.
The democrats look the same as republicans, the actions from democrats look just like Republicans. Clinton stretched the defintion of democrat with a business friendly NAFTA, military action on our land against citizens in Waco.
the democrats helped vote for the invasion of Iraq.

Why does your vote even count at all when you vote for either of them, they do the same exact thing.--whatever they want.

As a Black American, I have to say there has never been a more brave, equitous, bright, sexy and reverred President of the US of A.

He changed the face of America for ever and some say paid for it with his life.

He was a great constitutional leader unlike some we know.
