Everyone is saying our economy is bad right now. But how is that/
The Dow is over 12,000 points (which is very good), gas prices are falling (also very good), and the unemployment rate is lower than what is was during Clinton's terms (which, again, is good). So tell me, how is all of this bad?

Ok read this:

36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 buisinesses
3 have done time for assult
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits AND
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

CAN YOU GUESS WHO THIS IS????

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

But do they follow them??? And they just voted themselves $15,000 per month pension for life after serving only one year in congress!!

Think about that the next time you vote for the same congress members again.

What is your opinion on this???

I don't have any kids yet. But I'm worried that when I do, they will be neglected from a proper education because of all the illegals being granted amnesty. I can't see how the government is going to fund a school system that it already can't afford. they will be so concentrated on the illegals education and getting them up to par, that it's gonna hold back the students that are citizens and do speak english. Also who's gonna pay for this funding to educate illegals that aren't going to pay for it themselves? Oh, I forgot, the taxpayers get to. Hurray!!

I'd rather have a street smart, common sense conservative watching my back anyday. The only way you survive today is with "street smarts." You can't learn that in college.

I saw Major General John Batiste, Major General Paul Eaton, and Colonel Thomas Hammes, all retired military men, on Lou Dobbs this evening. All were calling for Mr. Rumsfeld to step down. What say you America?

NOTE: (I am a minor)

So I work in this place part time. And he usually pays us every week. However my employers system I think is messed up. right now he is like 7 weeks behind and lately has been messing up my hours. I keep track of them now but it doesn't help much. When I try to talk to him he says he has no time and to come back in a couple of months. right now I have about 150 hours of work I did that he did not pay me for. I also believe he might have lost one of my time cards. So what I am asking here is what can I do about this? I still want to keep the same job cause I really enjoy my benefits... but I still don't know what I should do... Is there someplace I can go online or something that has stuff regarding the policies of paying part-time employees who are minors? Somewhere I can read up on my rights and take action? help?

I've often wondered how immigration continues if so many people are against it. If you were to sample say one hundred random people in the US for instance, I'm sure you'd find very few supporters of it. The vast majority couldn't care less or would be against it.

So if this is the case why does it continue. Who is actually for it??? Big business, lawyers, realtors, etc..............

Why won't she cooperate in the investigation of voting in wrong precinct...guilty?

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter has refused to cooperate in an investigation into whether she voted in the wrong precinct, so the case will probably be turned over to prosecutors, Palm Beach County's elections chief said Wednesday.

Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Is she really a dumb Republican blonde
and voted in the wrong precinct?

I'm sick of hearing 'if your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear from being on CCTV'

If you are taking a shower, dressing your kids or just watching TV you close the curtains not because your are doing anything illeagal,immoral or wrong but because you just want some privacy!

Does anyone here not mind being on CCTV for a large proportion of there lives?

There is alot of criticism of Bush. So instead of bashing Bush, provide what you would have done on Sept 11th.

I went to vote with an absentee ballot and asked for help from the person woking the counter. She went line by line and told me to vote straight democrat. I voted mostly republican. Everything was well until I handed in my ballot and asked if I did it right. She then promptly ripped up my ballot and voters registration card and said I could no longer vote. Ever. I don't know what to do???? I think I may have voted incorrectly and now I am banneed for life.
