Politics & Government - 20 March 2007

A NASA scientist who said the Bush administration muzzled him because of his belief in global warming yesterday acknowledged to Congress that he'd done more than 1,400 on-the-job interviews in recent years.
James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who argues global warming could be catastrophic, said NASA staffers denied his request to do a National Public Radio interview because they didn't want his message to get out.
But Republicans told him the hundreds of other interviews he did belie his broad claim he was being silenced.
"We have over 1,400 opportunities that you've availed yourself to, and yet you call it, you know, being stifled," said Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican.

They pay US taxes and serve in the US military, but if you are a Puerto Rican and live in Puerto Rico, you are NOT allowed to vote in presidential elections....Soldiers Can Die But Can't Vote? Puerto Ricans Serve Without Representation!

WTF?

He has been a stalwart on the war on terror but when it comes to personal attacks on himself he does not fight back or respond unlike Bill Clinton who shot back as soon as he was criticize.
To liberals I hope you are getting a clear picture of what happens when you appease your enemies they pour it on just like democrats have been doing since Bush became president I hope people see the parallel and this president has made his job more difficult by not fighting his domestic enemies like he doe s the foreign ones.

Maybe I am confused with what it means to be a dictator, but I thought Saddam had total leadership? Why then are we hanging everyone that ever worked for him? Did you hear one was "accidentally" decapitated during hanging? His sons were killed mostly for being rapists, with no trial? How are *we* not the police state with a dictator?

I believe Al Gore has a moral responsibly to run for president in 2008. He was president elect in 2000. Nothing but controversy in the Bush administration since before day one.
a. steeling the 2000 election
b. 911 "was his fault" http://stj911.com/
c. we were led to war on a lie and miss led into a war to line their pockets
d. we have been force feed disinformation about global warming
e. patriot act
f. Abu Ghraib
g. KATRINA
h. illegal wire taps
i. Scooter Libby
There is so much more! I don't feel there is a candidate right now I would vote for. I don't trust Hillary and Barack Obama is to inexperienced! Al Gore needs to stand up and hear the voice of the people. We choose him in 2000 and he needs to give us the chance to come out in 2008 and vote in record numbers to vindicate the injustice that was done in 2000. I feel owes this to the American people. What do you think?

Why do you think this is? Do they really think that 70% of the American people are liberals? Do they consider all moderates and those in their party who disagree with Bush's war policy as liberals too because they disagree with them? I wish they could be honest for once and acknowledge that it isn't only liberals who have a problem with this war. Sen. John Warner would probably get a belly laugh at being called a liberal, and he opposes Bush's stand on Iraq. Comments?

I was forced into retirement by the IRS in retaliation for having made complaints to my elected representatives of
certain abusive and illegal practices being used to attempt to
force me to pay a tax debt owed by my wifes former spouse.
My health has been destroyed, and I am now terminally ill with
a degenerative heart condition, resulting from 6 years of this
callous, unrelenting harassment. I was told that unless I paid,
I could lose my job, or I could have my wages garnished.
Despite filing chapter 7 in which my spouses student loans
were also listed and discharged, the government has now
seized my tax refund as well as my SSDI payment. As a result,
I face eviction from my home due to inability to pay rent, as well
as inability to buy medication that I need to live, among a list
of other consequences too long to list.
If there is a law firm out there who could help, or if anyone has any ideas at all, I am truly desparate.

1. Democrats tried so hard to block the absentee votes from the oversea troops in 2000 and 2004.
2. Those anti-war protesters spit on our troops and yell "Murderers and Child killers"...
3. Democrats keep claiming "We support the troops but we will not send more reinforcement and funds to our troops but we do support our troops!!"

You tell me....
