Politics & Government - 8 March 2007

I bought some DVDs at Best Buy and when I went through the door to leave the alarm went off and the guy in yellow shirt said I need to see your receipt and I said no thank you and start walking out and he flipped a lid and started to follow me and put his arms on my shoulder so I turned around and said if you dont take your hands off me I will use whatever force necessary. So he starts screaming for the other employees to call the cops and says you in big trouble buddy and I laughed and got in my car and drove away as he got my license plate number.

Earlier a cop stopped at my house and rang the bell and I didn't answer. He was here for like 5 minutes too.

I didnt steal anything obviously so screw all of them. My question is what will happen to me now?

Peterson case for example, he was sentanced to death, he has been in jail waiting execution for about 4 years I believe. He is sitting in prison staying alive on our tax money.

Many of these life and 2/3 life sentanced prisoners are all convicted, can we not just kill them with a gun already? I do not believe it to be wrong, they should not have done what they did in the first place. I think more evidance may and could be found though, but by that time they could almost be dead.

I am embarrassed that thousands of Brazilians and other Latin Americans burn effigies of Bush and condemn him for the Iraq war, while Americans allow him to remain in office and do nothing.

who amongst the proposed presidential candidates do you think will make the best president in these times of trouble? why?

considering how many folks hate bush, why would x, y or z be a better president in the future just because s/he would pull our troops out of iraq?

we were brutally, miserably attacked on 9.11.2001!

which candidate can put this country into order, reduce problems with illegal aliens, make america a proud nation of inventive, productive citizens that was in the past, a country of workers that pay taxes, but who also can maintain a decent, reputable way of living?

and which of these candidates is not going to give so much attention to THE BOTTOM LINE that the big businesses want so much; rather, to those that put our own people to work?

which one is best suited to be chief of the armed forces, utilizing them to PROTECT our country, the land of the free?

why do you want x, y, or z to be president?

Keep in mind, strategies include "exit strategies".

Wouldn't it be naive of you to say there is "no exit strategy" just because you are not privey to military intel?

We "lost" in Viet Nam, but were not taken over by the Viet Cong. Is the war win-lose scoreboard just a big imaginary chalkboard in the sky?
We seem to be "losing" to China right now, but we're not even "at war" with them. (Thank God!!)

If we "lose" in Iraq, which I assume means that we pull our troops out before we set up a new dictator, does it mean we will be under Iraqi rule? (Just kidding....)

I would rather a President...(liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, black, white, male or female...it doesn't mater...) to be PROACTIVE in their policy to protect America and Americans...All bashing aside (I know, I know) would you rather your President be REACTIVE and sit back and wait for something terrible to happen again...?

Answer like its your favorite person in the world as President and then you'll give an honest answer...

To win ratification the constitution required approval of 9 of the 13 states. Citizens were divided and broke off into two groups. They were the Federalists and Anti-federalists. Federalists were a group of people who favored ratification of the constitution and supported a strong national government that would be able to ensure a strong currency and protect property rights. While Anti-federalists were a group of people who feared a powerful national government, so they offered three objections to the Constitution. Additionally they pointed to the election procedures outlined in the Constitution as proof that the new national government was undemocratic. Which lead us to the Federalists Papers, which were the series of eighty-five articles written by the supporters of the Constitution in 1788, which argued for the ratification of the United States. Moreover, the papers serve as a primary source for interpretation of the Constitution, as they outline the philosophy and motivation of the proposed system of government. There was a ratification struggle because of the individual rights because unlike many states, the US constitution did not contain the Bill of rights. This omission outraged the Antifederalists, some of whom refused to support ratification. Furthermore, several states agreed to ratify the Constitution only if individual rights were guaranteed in a bill of right.

Why is it that the Red States have the highest divorce rates, illegitimate birth rates (but one of the five is Delaware), highest grossing gambling markets (but one of the five is New Jersey), deaths by firearms, and highest rates of obesity.

Also the top five "smartest states" according to standardized test scores were all Blue States...while the bottom five are red states.

What party would you want to align yourself with?

...we rah-rahed the war and it went on for three or four or eight more years and we "won"????

Doesn't it stand to reason that the longer it continues, the more lives will be lost?? Or is this the "new math"? (Or maybe the result of the awful educational system in place in the USA today) (That no one seems ready to do anything about...)
