It seems like the only thing that stops an Average American from running from president is the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. seems to me like Americans would have more of a choice in the elections. therefore, abolishing a two-party system.

Let's see - the latest news reports:

War ongoing in Iraq - troops to be increased
Mail being opened and read by Feds, without court orders
Bank accounts being looked at by Feds, without permission
NOW - - -
This country's leaders are 'hinting' at military action in Iran???

I'm afraid that we won't have another election in the USA. . .
Bush will 'fix' history, so that he can remain in office, as no elections are allowed when the US is engaged in warfare!!!

OR - even worse - we shall truly become a target, and lose it all, right here at home. . .

Seriously. Please, no ignorant answers saying "Bush lied!" Or... "Bush is a fascist Bastard!!"
I want serious answers. Think about the question. Consider the checks and balances. Think about something besides Iraq, when coming up with a response.
(Think about how Clinton had Osama in custody back in the 90's.)
If your shoe size is higher than your IQ, then don't even click to answer this question.
Please. I'm serious. This is for serious discussion.

All the nicely educated Engineers , Scientists , Doctors who come to USA take 10 - 12 years of frustating wait to get the Green Card. Current legal immigration process is rotten but NOBODY in the government even listens to us.

While opposing "illegal" immigration everyone says.... We like LEGAL immigration !!!!!!


Why this double talk ????????????????

Is Iran helping groups that oppose U.S. forces in Iraq? How might Iran be doing this? Is there proof of this? And how should the U.S. respond to this situation?

Our new Congress voted in the min. wage increase. It will rise to 7.25 next two years. Congress voted themselves three raises before ever raising min. wage. I am a Democrat and voted these guys into office. And they give this little raise to min. wage. When are they going to really get in touch with the average American? Do they think the people are really this stupid? I for one, is ashamed that they tooted their horns on such a poor solution to a great issue.

It seems that with every hall of fame vote, someone is left out and it begins the age old debate about being a role model. While I agree that athletes are role models, some good and others bad, is that really what should keep them out of the hall of fame? My case in point is the sacred cow, (in more ways than one) of baseball, Babe Ruth.

Ruth hit 637 of his HR's while using an illegal substance. This is not even up for debate because it is well documented throughout his career that he was a user. He often came to games while under the influence of this drug and at the same time, many believe it calmed his nerves and allowed him to perform at a much higher level than his counterparts. This same drug sends people to rehabilitation clinics in the US at an alarming rate each year. This drug does not have the same stigma as say Cocaine or Heroin, but it causes more deaths than both of those drugs combined and is the third leading cause of death in the United states only behind Tobacco and Heart disease.

What is this drug? Alcohol. For those who want to say it is okay, remember it was illegal from October of 1919 until 1933. That means for 14 of the most productive years of Babe Ruth's career he was using an illegal drug. How about that for being a role model. If you want to keep someone out of the hall of fame based upon stats that is one thing, but to do it because of social stigmas and morals, then why is he in the HOF? The morals of that day said alcohol was wrong.

When asked if the White House was ignoring the will of the American people, Cheney said no president worth his salt would make big decisions based on polls. "You cannot simply stick your finger up in the wind and say, 'Gee, public opinion's against; we'd better quit."

Bush helped Iraq hang a dictator to liberate a country controlled by curruption. Now who's the dictator.

Regardless of whether Dick doesn't agree with the American people, our opinion is what is supposed to run this country, is it not?

I mean, I am a right leaning moderate, so I am a little bias, but it seems to me that a person has to be completely intellectually dishonest with themselves to whole-heartedly believe in the foundation of the liberal agenda.

Do the liberals HONESTLY believe open-ended public assistance programs will lead to anything more than a greater demand for these handouts in the future?

Do they HONESTLY believe the unbridled illegal immigration of third worlders will lead anything but disaster for this country?

Do they HONESTLY believe the answer to the current shortfalls in public education is to pump more money into the existing structure?

Do they HONESTLY believe that all people should have equal access to higher education, regardless of their level of personal ambition, potential or proven merit?

Do they HONESTLY believe labor unions seek to benefit anyone or anything except their own greed driven self-interests?

I am just curious, intelligent replys are welcome.
