Politics & Government - 11 January 2007

Okay, just for a moment, let the Liberals and Conservatives set aside their differences and engage in a cooperative effort to answer a serious question. Please no name calling or sarcastic remarks.

I watched President Bush’s speech last night. Afterwards, I tuned in to MSNBC and FOX and listened to analysis and commentary from both supporters and critics. After careful evaluation, I concluded that Bush’s new strategy is anything but a new strategy. It’s nothing more than a carefully disguised “stay the course”. So, can anyone—right or left—tell me SPECIFICALLY what distinguishes this new strategy from what we’ve already tried over the last 3 ½ years?

I just got back from basic training and now I am told that I might have to go to Iraq in April. The thing is, I was on adderall before basic training, however I didn't tell them that because if I did they wouldn't let me in. After basic training I realized how hard everything was for me without my medication. Now, I know I can't go to Iraq without it. I don't even know if they would let me. So I was wondering if there is a way to get medically disharged for ADD.

I'm just wondering-- why do you liberals have a problem with executing criminals who have comitted horrible murders, but feel no guilt about sucking out the brains of an innocent, unborn child? And for those of you who believe in God, I'd like to find out why you think abortion is "ok" with your beliefs. I'm just not getting this, and if any of you out there could answer, I would be greatly interested in seeing what you think.

I hate to label an entire political party as being racist, but I doubt the GOP would ever nominate an African American Candidate. Just look at all the unwarranted attacks they are making towards Obama.

I am preparing a Muslims vs. Christians debate on who should control Jerusalem... I have no idea about either side of the debate... I am supposed to take the Christian side.. so does anyone have any opinions and information on the feud?

Thanks!!

P.s I am doing the positive statements, so i am not trying to tear down the other side, just give good reasons for why the Christians should control Jerusalem.

Thanks!

Most people have no problem with it, but those who do just seem to have no clue of what they are talking about and try to make up excuses for their rejection towards Mexicans - such as MinuteWoman -. In a state that is bordering with the country of Mexico, I would think that they should accept both currencies: Mexico's and USA's. The excuse here is that in that case we should accept money from every nationality to be "fair," but there is no other nation bordering Texas. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to suggest accepting all currencies, when the main reason for doing such thing is that the country next door uses a different one and exports a lot of tourists/immigrants. In the border with Canada, we accept Canadian money; in the border with Mexico we accept Mexican money. How hard is that to understand? It's called globalism.

If you go father South you will notice that in EVERY border between countries they accept currency from both nations. Stop being so ultraconservative.

My aunt recently re-applied for nursing school and after being accepted, the adminstration officer agreed to call her later about her class schedule. My aunt has called the school, left messeges, and gone back on several occasions. She feels she's been discriminated against because she is legally blind and needs assistance for class and computer software. I hope this has all been a big misunderstanding, but she is very upset and doesn't know what to do next.

I was driving and there was a woman standing the the middle turn lane, she walked out in front of me, i swerved but still hit her. She sustained mild injuries.
Since there was no crosswalk the accident report says it was her fault. There was a witness who also said it was her fault and there was no way i could avoid her. Immediately after the accident she said she was so stupid (repeatedly).
I was not speeding (my mph on accident report is actually less than speed limit).
I just got a letter from her lawyer saying to let my insurance company know she's filing suit.
Does she have a case here? I'm terrified and freaking out!! I thought if it was her fault i would be alright. Any lawyers out there?!?!?

I haven't heard one liberal say YES or ABSOLUTELY,
they always go off on a speech completely not answering the question.
