Politics & Government - 9 May 2007

I am against this costly and unnecessary war but am supportive of the troops. My husband just deployed to Iraq. This is a war of choice and the president gives me the impression that he does not like to cooperate and that is why we are practically going at this war alone.

Terrorism is a hard thing to fight. There are terrorist camps all over the world and even in our own backyard. They are blending in with society and could be your next door neighbor. This is why I don't agree that you can fight terrorism by conquering two nations. Perhaps he was trying to send a message to Al-Qaieda, but you can't scare those who have nothing to lose. After 9/11, I wish the president would've just gave a speech about terrorism to increase awareness, gain international support, and fight the war on a smaller scale by increasing homeland security. Thousands of U.S. soldiers have been killed and now I ask what for?

Someone had this question I wanted to see some more answers? he asked:

"Does Everyone undertsand that the candidates don't run their own campaigns?

"this question is for all those who claim that Bush won two elections because he is smart."

"Bush didn't run either of those campaigns. His campaign managers did."

"so it means he had shrewd campaign staff.
thats all."

More than half of the members of Iraq's parliament rejected for the first time on Tuesday the continuing occupation of their country.

Should Bush give them a lesson in democracy and obey their wishes?

This is not an advocatcy for legalization. It's a serious inquiry. How can natural plant be illegal? If people smoked christmas trees and got high, would christmas trees then be illegal? All other drugs on the planet, legal and illegal are altered in some way to achieve a desired effect. Even the poppy is manipulated by man. That constitutes the legal forum. But a majiruana plant grows all by itself. With or without our help, unaltered, natural. Just like a tulip or strawberries, or mushrooms?. I simply do not get it.

they have had several drug arrests and each time have had over 20 g's in cash, and kilos of cocanine. they purchased a 400,000. home and the husband is incarcerated obtain additional loans using his janitorial service whose only legit income was 800.00 per month for 16 months. I don't want to write a letter to the credit bureaus cause they will notify them and I am afraid. I called choice point and they would only take information, even though it can be easily verified from other companies they do business with or dmv reports.

Does Congress really have to pass a spending bill to keep the war going?

And, if one can't get passed, or the President vetos all the bills, is there a deadline where the war just stops?

Are you sick of the politicians trying to polarize America to be either a Democrat or a Republican? How about voting for what you know is right?

We were at a light and were talking about the light being red and stoping. She is almost three in July. Well about a few seconds later I heard scretching and saw the driver in my rear mirror coming at me and BOOM! Our van was totaled and the truck. He had a big chevy truck. The guy that hit us had no license, no ins, no english speaking and was under the influence of alchcohol. He had a open bear can in his cab.
Thank god my daughter and I made it! I hurt real bad all over, especially my neck. We were taken to the ER by ambulance and were checked out okay. I have a lawyer coming over tomorrow, but should I see a doctor before the lawyer comes? to have on record? Or does it matter, since they ER gave me a CAT scan? my daughter saw her doctor today and was fine. She also had a chest xray at the hosp. She is fine too. oh yes he was arrested and handcuffed but did not get a breath test. Do they do that at the station? I will call tomorrow to see if a report has been made yet?

With the price of gasoline at an all time high, it's past time that we all band together to do something about it. The only thing that seems to be understood by those that control such things is money. Let's shut off the flow of money to those who continue to rip us off at the gas pumps.

Until prices go back to below $1 per gallon, I suggest that we simply shut down the country.

From now on, every Friday when gas prices have risen for the weekend, we just stay home. That's right. We don't drive. We don't buy anything. No commerce. No taxes collected.

We don't go to work.
We don't go to the store.
We don't use electricity.
We don't make long distance phone calls.
We do nothing that will result in a tax being collected.
Nothing!

Are you an american with the balls to stand up and force a change? It's past time that congress forced the issue with the oil producing countries that have benefitted from our friendship for so long.

I work as a time-keeper keeping track of employees time in and off work. We just got a new Executive Head in our office ex-airforce and all, and she's stating she's putting her foot down on office employee cleaning the microwave and refregerator both of which I do not use or ever plan on using. Is it legal for someone to tell you to clean something you don't use at work if that was not mention as one of your job duties up front?I feel it's just like asking me to clean your house when I don't live there?
Can someone tell me is this legal? What rights do I have as an employee?

How can you expect people to take your opinions seriously if you don't know how to write? Nobody wants to hear from someone who sounds like they're still in second grade. It takes away your credibility.
