If Guiliani gets the Republican nomination, would you vote for him? I mean, he is basically a Democrat. The only reason he ran Republican in New York is because he wasn't as liberal as his opponent.

People may let labels fool them in this one. Remember, a Republican for New York or California is as bad as a Democrat from somewhere else.

Are you going to blindly vote along party lines, or are you going to go third party, if the need arises? I think I may have to vote third party.

My conscience won't allow me to vote for a person who isn't pro-choice: That is, when pro-choice means the choice of the fetus to life, instead of be killed. Or the choice of the mother to not have sex unless she wants a child.

Has anyone seen or heard about the above scheme. Do these people who run our country really live in this world????? I heard about this only today and thought it was a wind up. It isn't. I checked the petition website out for myself and the email I got said the goverment wants us to pay for a tracking device to go in our vehicle and then be charged road tax for what we use. Sounds fair in a way but what about people with small businesses etc. Everything we buy, no matter what it is gets to us by road so everything we buy will go up in price, raising inflation, hen that TO**ER who lives at number 11 Downing Street will want to put up interest rates to curb inflation. Sign the petition at the following link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/?signed=1
If you think this is a con, go to google and put in a search, look for this link http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36946

CONCORD, N.H. - Veterans of Al Gore's past are quietly assembling a campaign to draft the former vice president into the 2008 presidential race — despite his repeated statements that he's not running.

His top policy adviser from his 2000 presidential campaign and other key supporters met Thursday in Boston to mull a potential Gore campaign. The participants and Gore's Nashville office both said Gore, who is in London, is not involved.

Elaine Kamarck, a veteran of the Clinton White House and Gore's policy guru in 2000, said the meeting was informal and shouldn't be taken as a sign there will be a Gore 2008 campaign.

Chris Mackin, a Boston consultant and Gore supporter, called it "an early stage conversation." But he added: "We're very serious about exploring this."

Gore's spokeswoman, Kalee Kreider, said the only campaign Gore is on right now is against global warming.

I simply asked a question about supporting the President of the United States and was called a(n): idiot, lunatic, brain damaged, crackpot and accused of supporting the Klan -because Im from Texas. Is this the way Democrats behave? If you dont agree with something, slander it? Glad Im not a Democrat! What happened to: "If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all" If you dont like the way things are going, vote and change it. (By the way liberals- good luck with Hillary or Obama, haha!)

They both got caught, although Newsom's girls looked better, though then again some of Bill's mistresses have been killed/beat/threatened into silence so we don't know what they look like. So who is the better philanderer?

What else was 9/11 but a Conspiracy to commit murder, thusly becoming (in what they were taught)Matyred. There was an interesting story the other day on CNN about these extremists and there families holding them in high regard because of their suicides done in the name of Islam. The Jihad. Are these families and friends then also guilty of committing crimes? If they will hold this cowardly act as being GREATNESS in the eyes of God, then shouldn't those that support them also be held for conspiracy?

I have a problem with my views on illegal immigration because of my religion. I am Christian. However, i do believe illegal immigrants do not belong here. Still, I don't agree with what most anti-illegals say, for instance KILLING people who cross the border and such.

What do you side with more, your political views, or what your religion has taught you?
