I whole heartedly embrace individuals who want to come to this country - my great grandparents immigrated here and came through ellis island like many others. However, there is a distinct difference between following the rules and breaking the rules - thus the term illegal. I feel as though I, a citizen of this country, have no voice as I disagree w/amnesty. What's wrong with asking people to go home and apply legally and WAIT like everyone who follows the rules (not pay a fine and wait here). If this is the philosophy, then is it okay if I break other rules/laws - is this cafetaria law? If I'm missing something, please explain it to me - I truly want to understand. (and please no answers telling me that I would have to pay more for lettuce - I pay almost $4/gallon for gas - I think I can handle paying more for produce, etc).

Republicans like to keep it simple. They just want to belive that "they hate us for our freedom" and they refuse to open their little minds and think "maybe, they're are OTHER reasons why they hate us (careful, i wouldn't want any of you to shortcircuit). Maybe, just maybe, Ron Paul has a point when he points out, how would we feel if China occupied the Gulf of Mexico or if Saudi Arabia set up military bases in North Dakota? And you don't think staying out of Middle eastern affairs makes sense? you don't think we influence middle eastern for our best interest (i'm not talking about our FINANCIAL best interest, not for the "safety of our country") hmmm, we help the Saudi Royal family to stay in power for security purposes.... right. It has nothing to do with oil.
that's right guys! Elect Rudy, he'll tell you exactly what you want to hear!

Sometimes one may not agree with his or her political party on an issue. That is one of the things which makes our political system so wholesome, fair, and representative of the people. Along those lines, I'd love to congratulate and support all of those democrates who DO NOT SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! I've heard the arguments, but I do not understand why anyone would say that it is ok for anyone to reside in the US illegally, without documentation. No one can "take" what isn't theirs and then claim that it's a civil right. Any such person has totally lost their credibility with me.

DEMOCRATS AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:
WE EXIST! Absolutely, no way!!!!!!!!

Okay, a good pal of mine -- to make a long story short took a life insurance policy out on her husband and "signed his name". She thinks it's "not hurting anyone", but the main and only thing I'd like to know is legally, if she's ever found out later, can she get into trouble for doing this?
I guess "he did a lot of awful things to her in the past" and she wants to make sure she's financially taken care of for the day he passes over. YEs, of course it is not right, i agree w/u.
HOWEVER how would/could she ever be found out. How does one get caught doing this sort of thing? I thought I'd pass on an answer or two from a post(s) to let her know if it's possible she could later get into legal trouble

Ok, Megan's Law is a good Idea, in therory. But what about the people it hurts. Good Families are distroyed. Men who havn't done anything go to jail. Someones biggest crime is not locking the door and they go to jail because of one sentance: "Endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual conduct, which would impair or debauch the morals of the child". ... That is, when your son or daughter walk in on you and your partner having sex. Those parents go to jail, people!!
Now, who agrees that Megan's Law is a good Idea, it just needs to be re-written?

This man ( who was eating at the Big Boy Restaurant) was telling everyone how proud he is to support the troops and to support President Bush. Then his 22 year old son walked in to join his dad. The son was wearing "Goth" looking clothes and his hair all spiked up. I walked up to shake the father's hand and said "Thanks for supporting the troops and the war. ( I told him I served in the military). Then I said "My cousin is a military recruiter and I'd like for your son to join up and wear the proud military uniform". Man!! You'd think I fed both father and son lemons. Both had a look on their face as if they sucked lemons. The father said " But!! But!! I only support the war as long as other men ( Sons ) fight and die. My son is going to college. Son stated: Man! No way will I go into the military....then son said "Are they still fighting in Iraq? The father said "I support the war by being a Republican. I turned around and said to all the people in the restaurant " A true Republican!

Why didn't Bush address the issues Carter brought up such as the middle east, Iraq, faith-based funding, environment?

"White House spokesman Tony Fratto shot back Sunday from Crawford, Texas, where Bush spent the weekend.

"I think it's sad that President Carter's reckless personal criticism is out there," said Fratto. "I think it's unfortunate. And I think he is proving to be increasingly irrelevant with these kinds of comments."

Carter was in Arkansas promoting "Sunday Mornings in Plains," a collection of weekly Bible lessons from his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

"Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man," said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman.

She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."

I'm 22, almost 23 and my biological father NEVER once paid child support, nor supported me, nor helped me in anything like college or medical bills. He only came to see me a few times when I was a toddler. My mother never ordered child support from him.

AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE CAN I SUE HIM FOR THE CHILD SUPPORT THAT HE NEVER GAVE ME MY ENTIRE LIFE?

IF SO, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO CARRY IT OUT SUCCESSFULLY?

OK, it seems to me that many people in this country are pointing to Europe’s health care plans as a model for our own, yet I keep hearing about people from Europe coming HERE for their operations, because they fear their own nation’s health care!

Now, I will be the first to admit: Everyone in America SHOULD have access to health care. But if we nationalize our health care, won’t standards plummet, like in our Public Schools? Won’t the gov’t spend the money foolishly, like in Social Security? Do you REALLY want our government that practically ruins everything it touches, to be in charge of our HEALTH??

My father-in-law recently went to France for vacation, and strained his back carrying luggage. However, all the locals warned him to stay away from their hospitals, and wait until he got back to the US to get a good doctor.

How about, instead of the gov’t even TOUCHING our fantastic health care, we simply give money to those inneed so they can afford it? A tax credit for those who pay taxes, and an increase in welfare or unemployment for those who don’t make enough.

I can’t find many articles on it, but I found this guy who agrees that, if you can afford it, US health care is the best in the world:

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/483557?src=mp

And this one about how Britain’s health care is declining:
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Health/Bad_Medicine.html

But neither are great sources.

So, Libs, how about instead of trying to change the greatest health care system in the world, why don’t we just make it affordable to all? After all, if we get rid of our great health care, where will rich Europeans go when they need operations?
