If it was guaranteed to bring our men and women home sooner?

Hypothetically of course, or is it just that it is Bush's plan that makes people mad?

Liberty and Liberal both derive from the same latin work Liber, meaning free independant and unrestricted, both carry similar definations in modern English.

How can one love liberty yet dislike liberals when they both stand for the same thing?

I think he's a shoe-in. He's definitely a neo-con. He's probably JUST evil enough to pick up where Bush left off. He likes death and suffering and he's great at hypnotizing people into believing his ********.

Sounds like an ideal candidate, don't you think?

The federal $5.15 per hour minimum wage will be increased to $7.25 by 2009. The last increase was 1997. In the last 10 years Congress has increased there own wage now at $165,200 per year. Most members of Congress were already million airs before they went into politics. I am happy. The 29 States that have a higher minimum have not reported the problems that Republicans have used as reasons for not giving the increase.
The vote was 315-116. 80 Republicans joined Democrats in passing the wage increase. Bush will veto this bill, if it does not have tax breaks for the wealthy corporations included.

For example (I don't know if this is really ok or not, it's just an example):

Drinking and driving/DWI/etc.... If I am drunk and driving on a public road I can get into trouble with the law. However, if I paved my own private 100 acre lot, could I drink whiskey, get drunk, and drive all I wanted? What if another vehicle (not mine) came on to the private lot mistakenly, and I crashed into it because I was drunk? Would I be breaking and drinking while driving laws? What if it was a private subdivision instead of a 100 acre lot?

Can you name more?

Is there any way of predicting which troops will be sent? I have a friend who was active duty in Iraq in 2003/2004. He is now a National Guard reservist. (He's an officer and a platoon leader)

Why is it that if you disagree with the WAY the war is being run, you are characterized as a namby-pamby liberal who wants to appease the enemy?

Is there no middle ground? Is it that hard to comprehend that there might be more than two options? Capitulate or fight aimless and brainlessly are not the two choices here. Can someone explain this to the idiot conservatives on this site?

Everything has to be one extreme or the other. If you aren't for aimlessly "staying the course" without critically looking at the strategy and reason for the war at all, then you are for "cut and run"

WTF?

quickly degrade to insults and disparaging comments about liberals? I enjoy a good political debate but if you're just going to resort to insults and generalizations, count me out. And FYI, I lean both ways depending upon the issue, I don't blindly follow the party lines.

Will you prove me wrong?

What authoirty do the police actually have that normal people don't. I mean a citizen can place someone under citizens arrest can't they. Is it a criminal offence to resist a citizens arrest from a citizen?
And if a police officer asks you to do something or trys to do something that he doesn't have the authority to do (for example move you away from an area when you have a legal right to be there and are doing nothing wrong or if he asked you to pull your pants down for no reason), or tries to arrest you because he thinks you've broken the law, but you haven't and he just doesn't understand the law properly, then are you technically within your legal rights to resist arrest or to ignore the order?

Can a citizen technically place a police officer under citizens arrest if the citizen believes the officer has broken the law?

p.s i'm referring to UK law here, but it would be interesting to know what the law would be in these matters in other countries aswell, thanks.

Phased increase as opposed to the phased decrease that was called for? Maybe they have wax in their ears, who knows.
