Who would have expected that from the people where supposed to “Clean up” Washington.

While it is true he has not been convicted, I don’t think the FBI usually investigates people who are pure and blameless. Let’s see you right wingers try to blame this on Clinton?

What would they ask for?

My thoughts:
Democrats would ask for a spine
Republicans would ask for a heart
Libertarians would ask for a voice
Communists would ask for a soul
Socialists would ask to give the other parties an equal and fair gift

Iran has maintained that the purpose of its nuclear program is the generation of power.

By 1975, The U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, had signed National Security Decision Memorandum 292, titled "U.S.-Iran Nuclear Cooperation," which laid out the details of the sale of nuclear energy equipment to Iran projected to bring U.S. corporations more than $6 billion in revenue.

Did they never forgive the west for the Crusades? Like BinLaden says, or is it because of their religion?

When the Soviet union existed,they acted as a counter-balance to the US.
They each kept each other in check as they were worried what the other was doing.
Now there is only the US and certain elements of the govt. seem to think they can do what they like when they like.
If there was a 2nd superpower (China for example) would that make the world a better place?

It gets pretty damn old seeing a puppet for the Democrats find a corrupt Republican and slam them for it. And it gets pretty damn old seeing a puppet for the Republicans for a corrupt Democrat and do the same thing.

NEWSFLASH people....the problem with US polics is not Democrats or Republicans. The problem is Democrats AND Republicans. For every fault you can find with one party another can be found with the other.

Democrats lack any kind of message or vision for America.
Republicans have a message and vision, but create bills that conflict with that vision.

The problem with the Republicans is not that their Republicans. The problem with the Democrats is not that their Democrats. The problem is that they're all politicians. And a politician cares more about getting power and holding onto it than doing something that could risk their power.....like utter a real opinion.

How many people can at least accept this?

The Republicans ... have discovered that it is not necessary to hide your actions. Just lie! It's OK! You can't fool all of the people all of the time, but you don't have to! That's what democracy is all about.

It worked for the war on Iraq. Have you noticed that, these days, the most vocal opponents of the war are retired military officers (and a few not yet retired), retired intelligence operatives and former national security advisers? Have they become traitors overnight? Have they abandoned the cause of freedom? Or are they finally just fed up? We welcome them, while noting that we really could have used their help two years ago.

The Bush response to detailed critiques? "Support the troops." Yes, the administration is supporting the troops by getting them killed in a needless war. Surely people would have put that together. And they have! But it doesn't matter! Now, you want to talk about your crafty conspiracies? Why skulk around with coverups when you can carry out vile plots in the glow of sunlight?

Or because we are rich and powerful?

Is it because their prophet lied to them and told them they would be blessed? So now they want to kill us all?

One can fire someone on the basis of their gender, race, religion, etc... . One is the owner of the business. One used oneself's money to start the business.

Why do they all want to kill innocent civilians so badly and chant "death to America, the great Satan"?
Why do they describe how they want to kill our kids and slash all our throats? (civilians!)?
They aren't even al-Qaeda, just thousands and thousands of radical Muslims!

But when a footballer's wife spends £5,000 on a Prada handbag noone bats an eyelid. Please don't tell me she "earned" that money!!! (unless shagging a footballer is "earning" it)

Doesn't it seem sick that kids are going hungry, pensioners are freezing to death in winter and families are homeless in this country, whilst people like that can p1ss huge sums of money up the wall on pointless trash, and get featured in the papers because of it like they are some sort of hero?

Wayne Rooney's girlfriend being a case in point.

And yet noone gets pissed off about them. I find people like that way more annoying and offensive than the Royals. At least they are part of our history and culture.

I was under the impression that Republicans were all for sound fiscal policies and minimal government. If that is the case, how do Republican voters reconcile the GOPs fiscal irresponsibility (lack of oversight of expenses in Iraq, bridge to nowhere, oil subsidies etc...) and the legistlation of morality (gay marraige bans, abortion) with the parties original goals?

What ever happened to moderate Republicans like Shays and Rell?
