Do you think with all the scandals that are rocking Congress lately that the Republicans might actually lose control of the House and Senate? Or do you think the elections will just show status-quo and we just keep plodding along?

I can understand the need to execute people who can still be a danger inside a prison, like white supremist leaders, mafia bosses or cult leaders, but since i don't believe in hell why should i feel happy that a serial killer gets the sweet release of death?I really preferred that they rot in prison and get butt raped every night.

So the Republican excuse for torture is the Jack Bauer argument. Why can't we libs hijack that one? If the only way to prevent another 9/11 is to do stem cell research, or give people a living wage, or provide oversight to the executive, shouldn't we do it?

I am confused here. Republic means "government by elected representatives". Democracy means "government in which the power is vested in all the people". Don't we have both? We vote for people to have the power to rule over the people.
Call me stupid, that's fine. I am getting into politics more this year and I am getting confused with what my friends and parents are telling me. I understand our election process and such. But the words 'democracy' and 'republic' confuse me. Then reading the definitions of these 2 words and learning about the differences btn Democrats and Republicans and Liberals confuses me more. Can anyone suggest some reading material or websites (unbias) for me to look at to come to a full understanding on this all? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Right now the Republicans have control of the house & we are trying to set up a democracy for Iraq. How can Republicans have a democracy? and push a democracy onto a foreign country? Do we have the right to do that?

It is almost certain that democrats will have a majority in the house, and it is possible for them to gain control of the senate. If they do what do you think will be the issue that they will champion?
To get things started:
Anyone currently making under 6.85 per hour will likely get a raise to at least that amount in the next two years. There is strong support for a minimun wage increase amoung democrats.
Embryonic stem cell research, most democrats and many republicans support this issue, and it will recieve a moderate chance of getting a two-thrids majority to overturn President Bush's veto in congress.
What other issues do you think they will support? And try and find something in addition to Iraq and war on terror to discuss

I realized that the topic category is wrong - it shouldn't be "Immigration" as I don't have a problem with someone coming to this country legally. The header should read ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. To many people are bleeding hearts and say oh they just want to better themselves from back home - well you know what it costs for those of us here legally to have ILLEGALS here...If they don't like the country they came from - stop protesting with the mexican flag in the streets - if you want to protest something go back home to the country you came from and protest and fix your own country first.

I hear so much talk about oil companies have such large profits and that they must be charging too much for gas. But if you look at the numbers they are one of the least profitable industries.
Why does the public buy into this garbage?
According to their financial report, Exxon has a profit a margin of 10.46% for the last quarter, and 9.5% for the last year.
McDonalds over the same time has a profit margin of 14% for the quarter, and 12% for the year.
Apple computers has 11% and 12% for the same time period.
Just because a company has large sales doesnt mean anything about their prices or their actual profit.

Why when I walk about do I see so many parasitic young yobs not working and on benefits.
Why the hell do 600000 immigrants this year find gainful employment when the UK scroungers remain on benefits.
perhaps we should send our scroungers back to Poland etc and see if they actually survive, or even better send them to Pakistan with real poverty and no benefits, perhaps they might want to come home and work and contribute to all like the 600000 have done.

They've banded together! They have stopped killing to get us out of their country, and are now killing to affect the November elections! They want us to vote against republicans, thats why they are killing so many Americans this month! They want us to feel TERROR! They obviously want MORE anti-terror candidates! Why else would they kill more people! (but wouldn't it make sense to kill less people and realease video statements that elude to wanting peace and talks if they wanted republicans demonized and removed from office?) NO MATTER NOW! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO THINK RATIONALLY!! THE TIME IS CLOSING FAST!! VOTE NOW-VOTE NOW-VOTE NOW-VOTE REPUBLICAN BECAUSE TERRORISTS WANT AMERICAN WOMEN AND SITCOM TELEVISION AND THE DEMOCRATS OBVIOUSLY WANT TO SURRENDER AMERICA AND BE ENSLAVED BECAUSE THEY LOVE DOING SLAVE LABOR AND BEING BEATEN VIOLENTLY, WHILE REPUBLICANS LOVE GOD AND BIBLES AND WANT US TO OVERCOME THE EVIL TERRORIST DEMOCRATS!! (now doesn't this sound rediculous?)

9/11. More than five years ago. The "evidence" for more since then is lacking, as is any logical reason for withholding it.
