I don't understand how a President who graduated from Yale could have such bad grammar. Is he what we should expect from the "no child left behind" program, except with the connections his daddy had.

My "roommate" and I got into a fight in which she tried to stab me with a knife. I called the cops, but I didn't want to press charges. The police pressed charges anyway and charged her with aggravated assault. I would like to know what is going to be done to her? I really dont want her to go to jail.....

Or should they try for bipartisanship? Won't the Republicans walk all over Dems who try to be reasonable and cooperative?

I was listening to the radio this morning and the VJ said something that I had never considered before. Many people say they support our troops, but if you don't vote wouldn't that be a disrespect to them? I was a little confused but he put it this way. "our soldiers are shedding blood for another country to have the right to vote. What are we telling our soldiers if we say we're too busy to vote ourselves. How important is demoracy to us if we dont get out there and vote?" Anyway, the website address above is where you can see if you are registered to vote. Who you vote for is no ones business, but isn't this guy right?

Please don't say Democracy: US has double standards regarding that when it comes to Hamas , old soviet states etc.
Please don't mention moral superiority: Just now looting a country in the name of ( what ? ) . OK. Invasion based on Lies.
Don't mention military superiority either. They couldn't even protect their pentagon against a few terrorrists. And they are not winning their war or Error either , even with the help of their british Pim*s.
They are almost about to be thrown out ( Withrawal , if you want. but both are same now ) from Iraq.
Living standards of people? I saw that on TV after hurricane katrina
Some people will object now. Demanding all who took aid to give it back now. ( When some one - as per your claim , taliban and saddam - returned your aid you were not very happy either )
Oh human rights : You are supposed to be in charge of Iraq now. What about the human rights there?
Not so strong economically either. Borrowing from China/Asians.
Anything else is there?

The IDF has had many cases where sexual deviants were caught molesting Palestinian boys before brutally beating them. Even their president is a rapist.

Usually, we already know the negative background of the said officials, based on his/her records and questionable achievements and yet, we still keep on electing them. And when they are already in the hot seat, we are the first one to criticize them.

Here in Australia we have to exercise our democratic freedoms, or else. Is this a good thing or not?

I have seen questions here on YahooAnswers telling/asking people who think a certain way not to vote on election day. This seems really prejudiced to me - like some people think that only those who agree with them should be able to participate in our government, when in reality that goes directly against the principles our country was founded on. Can anyone explain this attitude to me? Polite and serious answers only, please.

As if anything clinton did or did not do excuses the mess Bush and his cronies have created. Lets stop finger pointing and start taking responsibility for voting this moron in office not once but twice!

Is the finger point an admission to guilt?

There's nothing wrong with loving two countries at the same time, is there? Or having a bumper sticker flag on your windshield? Or does everyone think if you do that, you're automatically illegal?

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people.

In United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995), a federal law was struck down because there was no clause in the Constitution authorizing it.

IF THIS IS THE SUPREME COURTS RULING, WTF?
How can the FEDERAL Gov. withhold funding from the STATES if they don't bow down?

Thats what disgusts me most about Bush. Its all very well and good to talk about the glory of our mission etc etc. What about the nuts and bolts of waging a war? About a young lad, 18, just growing up in middle town america whose life is destroyed when hes ripped apart by a mine, just cause he fought for his country in a war he may or many have believed in.

Does Bush think about that when he makes these grandious and sweeping decisions. Its all very well for him to sit in his ivory tower, but real people are paying real consequences for his actions and I truly believe he doesnt comprehend that!

The Shiite-led government's security forces, trained by the United States, proved immediately incapable of dealing with the sectarian violence in Balad, or, in many cases, abetted it"

http://www.genocidewatch.org/eightstages.htm

Reviewing the aforementioned site indicates that the Bush Administration knowingly went into Iraq to find non-existent WMDs. This was proved by recent main stream articles which stated that none were going to be found. Therefore the approximate 800,000 people that have died in the 10 years of economic sanctions and two wars have died without JUST CAUSE ergo they were murdered.

The aforementioned link indicates a study undertaken to outline the stages of genocide. Now please read and think how this applys to current events and answer with your rational arguments.
