Many people seem to think that modern liberalism equals an increase in the size in government. If this were true, why did the size of the federal government shrink under the Clinton administration, yet grow under the Bush administration?

Do you think that many people are just confused or dishonest in their portrayal of a national health-care system? Mitt Romney, the republican governor of Massachusetts, signed into law a state-wide healthcare system; does this make him a communist? Does this make the state of Massachusetts communist? If not, why is Hillary Clinton's proposed national health care system, which is not much different, considered socialist?

Since the "media" with their George Soros mandated agenda only prints anti-U.S. propaganda, media monopolies should be outlawed like monopolies in other industries.

That is a HUGE faux pas in royalty etiquette. You allow the Queen to extend her hand first (if she chooses to do so). And why didn't Pelosi courtesy? Then when the Queen tried to pull her hand away, Pelosi wouldn't let go....thought she was trying to steal the Queen's glove!

If Hillary won the presidential election do you think we would be in for another Bill or do you think being the first woman president that she may actually be a good president and help the united states instead of hurt it?

"As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation," Sharpton said Monday during a debate with Hitchens at the New York Public Library's Beaux-Arts headquarters.

Does President Bush's comment about the queen giving him a look "only a mother could give a child", after his slip-up on the date she began her reign, soun shockingly acurate?
If you think about it the English settlers founded this country with different ideas about government. So it stands to be concieved that America as a nation is that of a fledging child in comparison to it's mother nation England.
Decent analogy?

And racist comments? I know that Mit Romney believes in od. I know people in his religion and they believe in God. How about calling boy a boycott on Al Sharpton? Let's keep him out of lectures, apperances and off the T.V.!!!

Let's be real. The Bush Junta is borrowing billions to pay for this war in Iraq. 'We the People' are going to have to pay it back with interest. What's wrong with paying for it up front?

I want to join the Air force, but I am already married to someone who is not in the military and can't travel with me should I be placed somewhere far away. Would joining the military put too much strain on my relationship? Would it be worth it to join?

so why do some people (liberals) try to act like he wasn't?

Joe McCarthy was right, but by now his name has been turned into a dirty word by the same liberal, leftist propaganda machine that today is trying to convince Americans the President “lied” to them about Iraq.

The Venona files revealed that the commies had over 250 spies within the US including at such agencies as the Department of State.

I didn't have anything so drastic as losing a testicle, but he apparantly snipped and cauterized a blood vessel on the left side. He did call me and tell me that the Pathology lab said that the test specimen was not a piece of the vas deferens, but may be a blood vessel.

I went for a semen analysis and the results said that I had a lowered sperm count, but could still get my wife pregnant, so clearly, he cut the wrong tube.

As a specialist, he should know what he is doing, and a vasectomy is not a difficult proceedure. What legal recourse should I seek? He offered to go back in and fix it, but I don't trust him any longer.

Many criminals are given death punishment because we think that it would create a fear in other criminals who think of committing such crimes. But we come to know that the same crime is repeated.......So what should be the real solution???

Or do you feel safer with a man at the helm? And this isnt about partisan politics. Lets say that it came down to say Condi Rice or Mitt Romney for the nomination on the red side, and Hillary Clinton or Al Gore, who would you vote for?

Im asking this because I cant tell you how many people Ive talked to that WOULD never vote for a woman and most whom I get that response from is women!

Is this why Hillarys disapproval rating is above 50%???

Have you ever noticed how ill-informed other users are in other categories ? I'm speaking of how ill-informed they are about Politics or Current Events . Go ahead and ask a political question in Polls and Surveys and just take a look at the ignorant answers you'll get . Or just browse that category or others for awhile . We also see ignorant answers on this site, but for the most part, people at least have a bogus website to back-up their silly claims . This site is well-known for it's rough and tumble atmosphere, and an ill-informed person is gonna get a barrage of insults for being stupid, and that usually deters uninformed people to from posting further nonsense(not always though) .
Yahoo's own homepage says it all . Their upper box carries stories about : Grateful Dead and Deadheads, Bill Clinton writing a Crossword puzzle, Dancing with the Stars garbage, etc
While the news stories are about : Cheney's meeting in Iraq, homes evacuated in LA because of wildfires, etc
Do you see it ?

In continuation to my other question, I thought it was my rebate money back into my acct. I WASN"T aware of how a rebate worked on a vehicle. I thought it was the same as if you bought a product from a store. Send in proof of purchase and get your money back. That's what I thought and that's what I did. Then a month later the money was back into my account along with my payroll. So I spend the money over the weekend. I receive a call 5 DAYS LATER from the car company letting me know of THEIR error. I told them the money was already spent because I thought it was my rebate. It wasn't a manager telling me this it was a regular employee (she sound like she was tryna cover her *** on the phone) She not only made that error once but twice cause she deposited another 1000 into my acct. That deposit I DID NOT SPEND because she told me in a timely manner but the first time was 5 DAYS LATER, and AGAIN I THOUGHT IT WAS MY REBATE. My purpose was never to defraud this company.

Without liberals and liberal thinking, we would still be a British colony, singing "God save the king.". Blacks would still be slaves, Women wouldn't have the right to vote, in fact they would be, by law, considered nothing more than the property of their husbands.

Without liberal thinking the Magna Carta would never been signed. And there would be no Democracies, anywhere in the world. Do conservatives forget that nearly all our founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Thomas Paine, were all liberal thinkers?

Or is it rather that those on here today care not about the things Liberalism has given our nation, and instead with to deflect criticism from their elected leaders who call themselves "conservatives"?

When the population of the entire city is no more than 1500 people!!

Now, I know he just made a mistake in his speech, but Bush does that all the time, and the Democrats point to that and call him stupid.

So, Democrats, unless you want to be hypocrites, you have to call Obama stupid now, right?
