Our Speaker of the House goes to a rouge terrorist state (Syria) in defiance to our president’s orders, and then proceeds tell Bashar al-Assad (Syria's president) that she does not back the United States president, and soon her party will take over. This by definition is an act of Treason and according to United States law is punishable by death! So I ask you again why isn't Nancy at lease in Prison?

Charities use dedicated voulenteers. Government employs indifferent bureacrats.

Charitable giving comes from the heart. Government redistribusion comes from coercion.

My parents were married for nearly 50 years. When my dad passed on, my eldest brother recieved the comemorative flag that was given to our family following the military, grave-site service/salute. My mother feels deprived of her honor of recieving that flag. Should it have been given to her? It is my thought that she should have it. Should I say something to him privately about it? It's been almost 4 years now and my mother is still hurt about the flag. My mother is elderly and ill and I know her too well to suspect she'd ever ask him for it.... although she mentions it often to me.

The GOP candidates who still support this war and who flip flop on issues of abortion just to appeal to their base?
Madman McCain who walks around Baghdad with a Kevlar vest and 200 body guards and says that it is improving and that he feels safe?, ROTFLMAO
or,
the Democrats who is lead by Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton who changes with the wind on Iraq. And, who has been supported financially by Rupert Murdoch and was on the board of WalMart.
Barak Obama whose views are good but there's not much experience there.
Edwards who has admitted to voting for the war but realizes now that he shouldn't have done that. BTW, he's the only candidate that apologized for voting for the war. Hillary hasn't. At least he is honest in admitting his mistake. What politicians admits mistakes today?
Kucinich who actually is one of the few candidates who has a plan to get us out and who who has a plan to get this country back on the right track toward fixing it's infrastructure & healthcare?

Scared enough to be comfortable knowing the government can enter your house with-out a warrant? Or tap your phone without a warrant? Even if you have nothing to hide, there is a reason that all law enforcement, for the last 200+ years, needed a warrant to invade your privacy. Are you scared enough to be happy that the government can detain American citizens and deny them habeas corpus, and can detain them without informing the captives family? Even if you have nothing to hide, habeas corpus is the very foundation of our justice system, and is guaranteed in the constitution for a reason. Are you scared enough of the terrorists that the only reply you can have to someone asking these very questions is that you have nothing to hide? Are you scared enough of terrorists to shame the memory of the men and women that died for our country protecting these very rights in the past? Or are you a REAL American, Not scared at all, and willing to die with EVERY right uninfringed on?

There are so many different people on this category, with all different points of view (which I think is great). But the one thing I've noticed, is that there is never anyone on here that hires illegals (or maybe I've missed it, or they don't admit it). Could it be that they're afraid to speak up? They'd get attacked from both sides - from the people against it, and from the people who can't get decent wages. Are they the biggest problem, for both sides of the illegal (or undocumented) debate?

Why must we always elect one President who implements his own people and ideoligies? I think a panel of 11 elected officials would serve the country better. They could be a mix of moderates, conservatives and liberals.

The congress and the courts act this way, why can't we have a sort of parliament run the country. One man surely does not know the right choices to make on every aspect of domestic and foreign policy.

First, I know that I was wrong for this!!! I had an affair on my wife with my co-worker. I left my wife to be with her, we decide to buy a house, because I was in the middle of my divorce I chose not to put my name on anything. We made plans to pay for everthing together (nothing in writing). Two months in I realize that I had made a HUGE mistake so I tell her that I want to return to my wife she agrees but wants me to continue financial assistance to her. I verbally agree (nothing in writing). Now, my wife wants me to stop paying but the ex is threatening court action. I don't have any children with this woman nor did we sign any documents together as a couple or of promises to each other. If she decides to sell the house what obligations does she have to pay me back or spit any profits? So what do I really owe her??

This question is derived from people thinking that Fred Thompson isn't a viable candidate (provided that he decides to become a candidate) simply because he is an actor.

I can only speak for myself when I say that everyone has a right to their opinions concerning politics. However, you must be held accountable for your words.

Fred Thompson was a senator for a number of years, therefore he has some experience. A lot of Hollywood actors barely made it through high school and yet people take their word as if the Lord himself wrote it on two stone tablets.

Why should Fred's acting career cause him to be unfit for the Presidential candidacy?

The American Petroleum Institute told lawmakers its members were not to blame for high pump costs.
"We recognize that consumers are frustrated with today's higher prices," API chief economist John Felmy told lawmakers on a House panel investigating the price run-ups.

How can they honestly expect the American public to believe they are not responsible and continue to post record breaking profits???
