I had seen it on news, and was glad to see Vietnam vets providing support for the families, and knew there was some legislation to at least give the grieving some space. Anyone hear of protests in your area?

Would it send out the wrong signal if Prince Harry wasn't sent to Iraq? Could Harry's presence there pose a risk to him or his colleagues? Are you a member of the armed forces? If so, what do you think?

I've seen several posts asking why congress hasn's miraculously turned America around in 6 months, changing everything.

That's not how congress works, or ever has worked. It's always been a pretty painstakingly slow process, with a few rare exceptions.

Is this the reason they support the ideas they support? They don't have a clue what they are talking about?

Or did they cange the rules and I didn't get the memo?

You know, in those WWII movies, some battleships have names like "USS" and sth like that. What's that all about? and why "roger" means "received"? It sounds like a boy's name.

How many months will the Democrats be in office, in the majority, of both sides of Congress, before they actually DO something?

I've never seen a bigger group of tme and resource wasters!

They sent ONE bill to the President in 6 months, and it was a bill they KNEW would be vetoed! This is ridiculous! Where is the media on this?????

Do you vote on something just because they are a democrat or a republican or do you go for the issues?

As a responsible, law abiding citizen why do you feel that I should not be allowed to own a gun? Before you go off the deep end, I do believe in some gun control.

With all the uncertainty in the world now where will we be? We can't make anything anymore. China makes our defense weapons. It's a joke. How far will we fall before we start to pick ourselves up?

New polls are in and they show that only a meager 45% would vote for an atheist while 53% wouldn't. So to the 53%: why won't you vote for an atheist?

Why do people think giving everyone the right to vote is a good idea? Socrates (who is smarter than you I might point out) was derisive of democracy, calling it nothing more than mob rule. Considering how many people vote without truly knowing the issues, I think it's hurting America more than it's helping. I'd rather less people vote who actually know the issues than a great deal of idiots vote for another idiot (see: 2004 and 2000 elections). Your thoughts on this?

I think is it FINE to disagree with the Government...so what?

BUT - you can do it in a respectful way that doesn't make us the laughing stock of the world.

First I would like to start off by saying "thank you" to police officers and other law enforcement officials for the work that you do. My question...police chases are obviously dangerous for a mulitude of reasons. However, it angers me every time I see some criminal on TV tooling around in a stolen car with no regard for innocent life or people's property. Unfortunately, this is becoming more common due to soft prosecution (short jail sentences, if any, and repeat offenders not being dealt with appropriately) and because the media "indirectly" glorifies those who flee. Media also seems to thrive off placing blame on the police when uninvolved (innocent citizens) are accidently killed, even though it is really the criminal's fault who fled. What do you feel would be a sufficent sentence given those who flee from police via vehicle, and what else might you recommend to reduce the amount of police pursuits while still being able to do your job of arresting criminals? Thanks.

Come on America....these people are FELONS!!! Some of them 2 and 3 time felons.

1. Lies
2. Treason
3. Espionage
4. Murder
5. Criminal Obstruction of Justice.
6. Rigged Elections
7 Crimes against Peace, Humanity, The Enviroment, Soveriegn Nations. It's pathetic!

What are we doing?

I was thinking if everybody got down on their State Governor, Senators, and Congressmen to apply more pressure on the White House it might be a good idea. What do you think?
