G.W. Bush's Approval rating has been hovering around 30% for a while now. My question is what would he have to do to lose that 30%? What would it take for Bush's approval rating to drop to 0? I think the only way the hard core Bush fans would turn against him is if he suddenly converted to Islam, any other thoughts?

I've read and re-read the Constitution in its entirety a bunch of times, and I can't seem to find the part that tells me that I must be a conservative to be a good American. Can anyone direct me to the proper section of the Constitution to support this idea?

If not, can you explain why conservatives keep screeching that it's unAmerican to be a liberal? Without using rhetoric, please, because any answer that is a stock conservative rhetoric response with no substance will be ignored.

28 U.S.C. § 1365, specifically exempts subpoenas to the Executive branch.

The criminal contempt mechanism, see 2 U.S.C. § 192, which punishes as a misdemeanor a refusal to testify or produce documents to Congress, requires a referral to the Justice Department, which is not likely to pursue compliance in the likely event that the President asserts executive privilege in response to the request for certain documents or testimony

Do Democrats not care about our Constitution and the law?

Why Does the USA need WMD,s if Iran Doesn't need them??
The only use for them is to destroy another country.
If they are needed as a deterrent, doesn't Iran need one also?

Why should they? Liberals hate police officers, just like our troops and others in uniform.

As a police officer I never give liberals a break. I always enforce as many things on them as possible: Traffic, DUI, misdemeanors. Maybe if they didn't have the Clinton/Obama 2008 bumpersticker I could look the other way on minor things. But since they choose to express thier politics so evidently, I cannot in good conscience use officer discretion to cut them any type of break, sorry! "Had a few too many drinks this evening? Come with me Mr. Liberal, we need to conduct a Field SobrietyTest!"

On the other hand, I always try to be as courteous as possible for my conservative friends. Speeding might normally get you a ticket, but not if you have your N.R.A. bumpersticker! "Had a few too many drinks this evening? Well, I can see you are a good person just by your Bush/Cheney bumpersticker...tell you what, since no one was hurt tonight, just park the car and we will call you a cab"

How far would you be willing to let the President go in his pursuit of the War on Terrorism? What would be the point where you, personally, would say "Stop! Enough is Enough!" Would you allow him to arrest people who didn't agree with him and his administration's views? Would you allow him to dictate that anyone who publically protests or voices a differing opinion be locked up?

Would you allow him to put speakers in our homes, so that authorities could make sure we weren't undermining the war effort and spreading dissent and giving comfort and aid to the enemy?

How far is too far for you?

I am really just bitching right now. I just did my taxes I feel like like Philadelphia city tax is to high considering my water main needs replaced and I have to pay for it. Nj it is covered. Nebraska covered and they dont have this city tax. Now the part about the goverment overspending. How cost effective is creating new jobs that dont produce anything. I keep hearing we created 130,000 new jobs this month. The thing about is these jobs dont help our GDP. That is where we make or money other wise we are just robbing the tax payer. This is my theory about our goverment. IRS takes our money they give it to congress use it for a year then they give a refund make you feel better. Then the treasury department says we need more money in circulation. Give the tax payer a break quit printing up more money. I could say alot more I am running out of characters though. Voice your oppion. I would like to hear someone who thinks there not out of control. Vote for a pay as you go congress.

Our soldiers kick in doors just like the Gestapo...we have politcal concentration camps at Gitmo.

We allow the President to take away our freedoms witout a fight in the bizarre Patriot ACT

We start wars on LIES..of course this is nothing new for the USA, it is a tradition.

ABOVE ALL the american people are actually foolish enough to think they are fighting for their country or freedom.

The USA is the most dangerous nation on the planet.....it will crumble as it rots from within.....too bad we had so much potential

She lives with some of our family members and both her parents have died. Unfortunately, she has been physically abused and she has only an elementary-school education. It is very hard for her to get into school because she has passed the age requirements and her home situation isn't helping: she does nothing all day and she hasn't left her house in more than a year. She's a wonderful young woman who's had her share of trials and she desperately wants to go back to school. I would like her to be able to live in the US with me... is there any way for me to adopt her even though she is an adult? What immigration concerns should I be aware of? Even if I can't adopt, does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a three year old son, and the father is around, sometimes. He comes in and out of his life. When I anger him, he disappears. Recently, he has been teaching him obscene comments and remarks. Where babies come from. Teaches him to call me rude names, etc. He does not use common sense when it comes to anything dealing with our son either. For example, he gave him some of his energy drink because "He doesnt tell him no for anything". We have joint custody. He pays child support. All that the visitation states was, 'reasonable time upon reasonable request' which means he thinks he can take him when he pleases. He will literally disappear for months at a time... What should I do? When we went to court the first time, the commisionery basically said that we needed to get along for the sake of the kid and grow up. We're both extremely young, and I am a very responsible parent for being 20. I do everything I can for my son, yet he doesnt even think when he has him. Any ideas?

Gilmer pulled over a van full of illegal immigrants. When they tried to speed away, Gilmer shot out the back left tire and tried to take out the back right tire. In the process, he shot one of the illegals (didn't kill her, just injured her). Now he's sitting in jail for using "unnecessary deadly force".

1) The family should not have been crossing the border in the first place.
2) The family should not have tried to run from the officer.
3) The illegals shouldn't have the right to complain. They shouldn't have been here in the first place.


For all of you illegals out here...GET OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. We don't want you here and you mess everything up...take our social security and what not.
