i see all these questions from conservatives who are dissing the liberals, but why do they lump socialism and communism with liberalism? i know they're strands of liberalism, but they're really DIFFERENT from each other.
how ironic is that - conservatives are rich and want education only for the rich, so why are they so dumb?

btw, don't bother giving me nonsense about this coz i got a degree in politics so there

Or to protect the United States from an awful dictator?

I am neither liberal nor conservative so I don't want to hear about that in your answer.

The guy that got on that international flight to Europe was a 31-year old attorney! Isn't it amazing the way attorneys seem to break the laws more than normal people? What is the point in teaching them all about the laws if they can't even be counted on to follow them? Shouldn't be do something in law school to convince our attorneys to respect the laws they are experts in?

In Michigan, the U of M is required to stop providing benefits to partners and families of gays. Since we passed a law that says that gays cannot marry, the next step for the GOP was to make sure that workplaces cut off funding for partners of gay employees...does this make sense form a fiscally conservative point of view? Was this REALLY the point of making marriage strictly between one man and one woman? Will my tax dollars have to pay for the resulting fallout of denying medical insurance to a same sex partner? Or is denying healthcare to gays the next step?

China is absolutely the worst polluting country in the world and only look to get worse. The communist evironmental policies they have in place are barely a shadow of all western industrialized nations including (shocker) the U.S. India is moving a little slower than China but is experiancing the same problem. Should more effort be put into addressing the real pollution that China and India (NOx and SOx gasses just to start) are generating instead of worrying about one of the most benign gases ever discovered (CO2)?

Let's face it, the "war on drugs" is a failure. We've spent untold billions in the drug interdiction effort, and drugs still permeate our society.

Isn't it time we adopted a rehabilitative approach, rather than a criminal one?

Here are some benefits:
1) Less prison space would be taken up by nonviolent offenders and therefore more space would be available to incarcerate dangerous violent felons.

2) The money spent on interdiction efforts could be either saved or if necessary, channeled into rehabilitation programs.

If we went the full drug decriminalization route, there would be some additional benefits:

1) Money that is now illegal and untaxable would be taxable.

2) There would be far less drug-related violence, as when you remove the profit motive you remove the incentive to kill others for profit.

3) Far fewer people would die of overdoses from adulterated drugs, because the drug purity would be regulated.

So why aren't we doing the sensible thing?

Remember when liberals wanted people who were not married to be able to rent an apartment .
Remember when liberals wanted to free the slaves .
Remember when liberals wanted a free press .
Remember when a liberal said the earth rotates around the sun and not the sun around the earth .
Remember when liberals said it is crazy to burn witches at the stake .
Remember when liberals suggested that we stop dumping raw sewage into our lakes and rivers .

Who would not among us proudly say we are liberal .
Since to be anything else is to live in the past and ignore common sense in the light of new information .

We were informed in Feb. of 2006 that my husband would be deploying to Iraq in Sept. of 2006. March -June they started training and preparing for their tour. June -Aug my husband went to BNCOC phase 1 and phase 2, Sept they deployed. He had 27 use or lose days that needed to be used by Sept. well he lost them. I found out today (the S1 called me) and told me the Army is buying his 27 days off of him. How much will they pay him? I would have rather had the extra 27 days leave....

the young officers shouldn't either? ...

"Capture one of these killers, and he'll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States. Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away. These are men who glorify murder and suicide. Their cruelty is not rebuked by human suffering, only fed by it."

I am talking *only* about the "follow us home" argument. I know there are issues about giving terrorists a safe haven to organize in Iraq, but that is a different and separate agrument.

Will it be easier for a terrorist to sneak into the USA *after* our troops come home than it will be *before* our troops come home? Do terrorists not know where the USA is, and will have to "follow us home" to find out?

What is this magic bullet of having troops in Iraq that prevents terrorists from coming to the USA? I just don't get that reasoning.

And you can't just say it hasn't happened so it must be working. First, it's not for lack of trying - there have been at least a few failed attempts. Second, we don't know what the terrorists timetables are - remember it was 7 years between the first and second WTC attacks, and we've only been in Iraq for a little over 4 years. Third, the old adage still holds true: Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence.

Thank God the Catholic church is here to provide a shining example of compassion for our fellow man. For you that are angry about this issue I suggest you direct your efforts towards supporting legislation that would provide a legal way to allow guest workers to enter our country legally and thus be provided basic workers rights.Too many of us profit from the illegal workforce, greed is clearly evident when one saves money by hireing illegals, it is simply not Christian to be hostile towards what is predominantly Mexican illegal workers. I am a citizen and a conservative republican and fully support our presidents proposed legislation in regards to this issue, a good compassionate man.

Homosexuals have the right to marry, and that right is being denied by almost every state government. Some states are starting to approve "civil unions". Is this a step in the right direction, or an extra slap in the face? Is separate equal?

I've studied presidents of the 20th century a good deal and it is obvious that up until watergate, Nixon had proved to be one of the better presidents of the century. Why is it that democrats like to write him off as a terrible president when in fact he was far better then most of the democrat presidents of the century, especially Carter.

Under Nixon.. detente with Soviet Union. opening of relations with China, replaced US troops in Vietnam with Vietnamese troops (thus withdrawing the US from Vietnam), and dmoestically he was considered a centrist and at times even more liberal, and was re-elected in the biggest landslide victory in US history.

I hear the battle constantly
Republicans against Democrats.

Seems like football teams where people just generally back the party and not look at the individuals.

Face it the top contenders are ALL very rich.

That goes for Guiliani, Romney, Hillary, Obama, Edwards, McCain.

Then I see this great spark of truth in Ron Paul. He speaks absolute truth, Bill Maher called him his "hero". Jon Stewart even loves him.

Can people finally elect a president for the people and get that warped party shiznit out of their heads?

Last Election Bush vs. Kerry.

Both worth MILLIONS (not to mention members of skull and bones) and both nearly had very similar voting records.

We ALL need to make the Sean hannity types squirm in the media, we all need to make the rich politicans squirm as their game comes screeching to a halt.

Who will back me in voting for Ron Paul in the primaries?
