He said in part, "If you go to college and make an effort to be smart, you can do well in life. Otherwise, you get stuck in Iraq". If that isn't the same thing as calling our troops a bunch of dummies, then I don't know what is. And, don't tell me he didn't say it. I just heard a tape of it on the radio. This is one of the most despicable and downgrading statements I've ever heard a politican make! In addition to all this, he was in Vietnam. By that logic, doesn't that make him a dummy as well? I'd have to say that it does.

Skip all the liberal this and conservative that comments.

What are the problems being created by illegal immigration into the USA and what real world solutions can we implement to fix them?

Problems I see: Disease being brought in, Economic burden on tax payers, security against terrorism, security against crime, having laws we don't enforce.

Solutions? How about having a good guest worker program and anybody that we find coming across illegally is not allowed to participate? A lower minimum wage could apply to guest workers to make them employable.

USA offers immigration opportunites; The law specifies the application procedures/requirements. Until the USA changes the law, the individuals that enter illegally -regardless of their desire or intent - are criminals subject to prosecution.
Am I wrong??

Consider what could be gained from doing this; sacrificing a few 100 people for unlimited control of the mightiest military force of all time ? Also look at :

We are getting sound bites on Kerrys' gaff about those not smart enough ending up in Iraq. He says it was being critical of Bush but I don't know? Who was he speaking to? What was his audience? If he was speaking to a group of young people then how could he have been addressing Bush? Does anyone have his whole speech where he mentions Bush first or immediately after (not his come back an hour later but the actual speech)?

This is a sincere question, so honest & sincere answers only please.

The Republican party & candidates say the economy is great & getting better because of their tax cuts & economic policies. Here's my question:

Has your income increased substantially in the last year or two? Has it decreased?

Has your employment situation improved significantly?

Are you significantly wealthier than you were a couple of years ago?

If not, then how is it better, at least for the average American? I know it's great for corporations & wealthy Americans with lots of stocks & bonds, etc. But I don't see any real improvement for most of us.

It seems to me that this good economy is an illusion. The huge deficit created by those tax cuts & excessive spending will have to be paid back by all of us & our children, and left to other Presidents and congresses to fix.

Do you agree that the economy is booming - FOR YOU - under President Bush's policies & the Repubican congress? Why or why not?

Six days after being released from the hospital, following gallbladder surgery, I became very sick and in a lot of pain. I had to be hospitalized again for nine days. The diagnosis was "cystic duct stump leak." Two steel endo clips that were put in place at the time of the surgery became unfastened because they were not fastened correctly or tightly enough. This caused a bile leak. My internal organs were swimming in four litres of bile, causing a lot of suffering. I had E.R.C.P. to drain the bile and bypass the leak. I have had a full recovery. Is it worth it to sue or would I end up in the hole after paying legal expenses? Has anyone had a similar experience? If so what did you do and how did it turn out?

When it comes to the police having a code of silence the libs always oppose (so do I) but now they are using the same tactic regarding the election. Will this work for them or will they be shooting themselves in the foot? Can a party win an election by NOT telling people what they stand for or what ideas they have (if any)?

Is he just most comfortable in the role of criticizing our military?

First he accuses them of atrocities in Vietnam, then he accuses them of terrorizing civilians in Iraq, now he says military service and education are mutually exclusive. Is he still a military hero, or should he have thrown his own medals over the White House fence instead of someone else's?

A law was passed thru Congress but they would not give money to hire more immigration authorities which falls under homeland securities, so what do we do?Any ideas or are we stuck with illegal mexicans in the U.S.A.????

Clinton cut billions of dollars of waste in peace time out of the military budget and republicans went and started another war that will not end for 40 years .
Just like after ww2 .
Every democrat wanted peace talks and every republican wanted to build more weapons .
Well we have tons and tons of weapons and we can not handle Iraq .
A bunch of goat herders living off oil money .Who have a nasty habit of wanting weapons and bombs .
As a liberal i would steer clear of these nuts till they rippened a bit .

All these ads do is expose our kids to awful things - "Daddy, what's an affair? Whats a mistress????" Questions that stemmed from a politcal ad while we were watching football on sunday.

I believe these ads do nothing but show me what kind of scumbags are running the country.

I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have." - John Kerry press release
