Seriously, in your opinion, either in raw numbers, or in proportion or percent, how many American citizens do you think are terrorists or are people who hate America?

Question directed primarily at Republicans, but I'd be interested in anyone's response. (Question motivated by the bandying about of these phrases.)

The world is in turmoil. The United States has declared war on terrorism. How much authority does the Pope have in all of this? What do you think about the Union of the Vatican and America in terms of world peace?

My father is friends with many members of our city's police force (I live in southeast MI). Oftentimes he will come home and ask me "Do you know a kid at school by this name? Oh, because they just got picked up by the police for such and such..." Isn't it illegal for them to tell him specific names, dates, and criminal charges? My boyfriend recently got into some legal trouble, and if the involved officers tell my father, as long as the law is on my side, I fully intend to take the officers to court. Are there privacy laws on my side? Police code? Please help.

All these issues about immigrants in our country, im not racists but i dont agree with people comeing here because they can get paid for not working and get a free house.This is what some of them do, i know because my friend was seeing a guy who came here because life was bad where he lived, there was no work in his country and he had to live on the streets untill he managed to get enough money to come to Britain. He was claiming jobseekers, was entitled to a flat and housing benifit ,didnt contact the electric people so he lived free for the time he was here. This is a big strain on our government but nothing is being done to stop this happening time and time again. I wonder how long this is going to continue

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Voters elected a black Democrat as the first Muslim in Congress on Tuesday after a race in which he advocated quick U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and made little mention of his faith.

Keith Ellison, a 43-year-old lawyer and state representative, defeated two rivals, television networks said, to succeed retiring Democrat Martin Sabo in a seat that has been held by Democrats since 1963.

Ellison, who converted to Islam as a 19-year-old college student in his native Detroit, won with the help of Muslims among a coalition of liberal, anti-war voters.

He advocates an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq along with strongly liberal views. While Ellison did not often speak of his faith during the campaign, awareness of his candidacy drew interest from Muslims well beyond the district centered in Minneapolis.

A significant community of Somali immigrants in Minneapolis cast their first votes for him in the crowded September primary. Ellison also was the surprise choice of party regulars.

While Muslim-Americans make up less than 3 percent of the U.S. population and have largely been a non-factor in terms of political power, get-out-the-vote efforts in several Muslim communities could indicate they may become an emerging force.

Roughly 2 million Muslims are registered U.S. voters, and their ranks increased by tens of thousands in the weeks prior to Tuesday's mid-term elections, Muslim groups have said.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by Islamic militants, Muslim-Americans have become sensitized to what many feel is an erosion of their civil rights. U.S. foreign policy that targets Muslim countries also has generated a sense of urgency, experts said.

"(Americans) treat us differently after Sept. 11. My own father was attacked," said Ellison supporter Khadra Darsame, a 1995 immigrant from Somalia. "Ellison said everybody matters equally and he told us what he would do ... he will do the right thing."

Born into a Roman Catholic family in Detroit, Ellison said his values were shaped by both faiths, along with his grandfather's civil rights work in the Deep South.

Opponents focused on Ellison's sloppy handling of his taxes and a slew of unpaid parking tickets, along with his one-time affiliation with the Nation of Islam, whose leader, Louis Farrakhan, has been criticized for making anti-Semitic remarks. Ellison subsequently said he worked with the group largely to promote the 1995 Million Man March.

The Democrats ran on I am against George Bush and getting out of Iraq! How long after Nancy Pelosi takes over before we leave Iraq? Especially since America said so.

Both have the welfare of the American people as their main objectives (despite using different methods), so why does every rep think that dems are just plain stupid while every dem thinks that reps are greedy a**holes?

We're all for the same country, right? If you lose the election, just wait patiently 'till next round.

He got out of Vietnam by claiming a sore anus. A failure at being a liberal disc jockey named 'rusty', he became a welfare case, then was arrested in Pittsburg for soliciting homosexual prostitutes! Later he claimed that he voted for ronald reagan when in fact he voted against him. He then became a devious drug addict who violated federal drug laws and got off scott free, due his contacts in the republican-led government, for whom he is a loyal parrot. He now calls himself rush, would YOU trust this shameless druggy hack??
