But Alberto Gonzales is getting hammered by the Dems for firing attorneys at the Presidents request. Isn't this a bit hypocritical? Why don't the Dems actually get something done instead of going on witch hunts? Is that all they know how to do?

I'm 33 years old, so I'm actually a Generation Xer. That being said, though, I have to say that I have always liked and respected the Baby Boomers. After all, they had the courage to question and rebel against outdated social norms. Not only that, but they got the ball rolling on such things as women's rights, minority rights, gay rights, and the environment. Plus, they produced some awesome music! The music world would have been much duller if we hadn't had the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, and the Doors, among others.

Nato forces had intercepted weapons from Iran heading to Afghanistan. Is it me or is this just a but suspicious?
I have believed for a long time Iran was helping the insurgency, i say CRUSH THEM!!!! If we crush Iran then the Taliban loses one of its weapons providers and therefore is in trouble.

Do you support that in light of this evidence a invasion of Iran on the grounds of violation of international law and for the murder of many U.S soldiers.

(Not ones you've looked for, whether online or elsewhere...)

If so, was it for a local, state, or federal election?
Did you feel the questions were objective or leading?

YA is a sizable group, so I'm curious to know how many may have answered political polls. (Especially since the only polling questions I've ever gotten have been for products and radio stations.)

Other sports have as many players on a single team and this makes it hard for Fans to keep track .
With fewer then fifty cars going round and round it is easy for fans to keep up .
Other sports seem much to complicated for the Nascar fans to keep up with , imagine just trying to keep up with a baseball team . You have to know the team ,but with racing you just have to like the one driver . So simple that most sports fans do not consider Racing a sport but rather an activity.

My boyfriend works these hours, breaks are fair. He is a parts person at a honda place and inputs orders into the computer and answers the phone, office type work. He was given a stool to sit on in front of his computer. His co worker had the same thing. His boss took his away and said he was tired of looking at it and does not want him sitting at all, but his co worker can. All men are white so I don't think its a race issue, Are there in laws in Arizona or over all against this treatment?

Besides producing the worst president in history, they have created a system that effectively gouges resources and wealth from the younger generation. They have the younger generation dumbed down to the point they only see Hillary or Guiliani as an option. In reality they are both the same thing.

I am in GATE, and that is Gifted and Talented Education
We have to do a debate, on "What should space be used for?"
We're debating on whether we should be allowed to use space for privacy and security of our nation. My group is PRO, meaning that we should use space as a method to keep ourselves safe, and secure. For example: we should be allowed to use a satellite system (such as Google Earth) to look into people' homes, etc.

Could you help me with examples for why space should be used to protect our privacy and make us secure? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AND THANK YOU

This is my guess but what do you think?
It's been almost 6 months and they have done nothing. No immigration bill, no fix for social security, they are using earmarks and they said they wouldn't, they are being caught in scandals, murtha is threatening fellow congressmen, I could go on and on.

Businesses have made a boatload of money by hiring low-wage illegal immigrants.

Do Dems support amnesty for illegals because the Dems are taking bribes?

I am not trying to take sides or be disrespectful, but;

1. No WMD's found

2. Saddam is gone

So whatever "threats" Bush said we have is eliminated and has been.

The only big problem left are the insurgents. The insurgents are only there because we are. There are bombings daily in the city, killing thousands and knocking out power and water throughout the country.

We basically control Iraq, so we have acess to the oil, so that isn't an issue any more.

911 tapes: Dying woman was denied help (AP)
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 13:36:45 GMT

AP - A woman who lay bleeding on the emergency room floor of a troubled inner-city hospital died after 911 dispatchers refused to contact paramedics or an ambulance to take her to another facility, newly released tapes of the emergency calls reveal.

**I have had this experience. I was raped and found myself in an argument with the woman on the other end of the phone back in 1998, because she "know, I mean I date him- I mean - what was that name again?".(exactly what she said) I fought for two years to get the 911 tapes and they gave me the run around, plus I went through the entire Attorneys section in the yellow pages and couldn't get anyone to help me force them to hand them over. When they finally pretended to cooperate, they came back to me with "oh, we only keep the tapes for six months. Sorry, we couldn't find anything."
So to certain 'friends' of mine who doubt this could have happened --- boo-yah

This is inexcusable to me. I might suggest that our Senators have cynically become a body of governing light weights.

It's funny to know that Dems always say that unions are important to them. Unions are truly one of the Dem party's most important supporters.

But, now unions are very upset that top Dems in Congress support illegals. The unions say that illegal immigrants drive down wages for working American families and their union members.

Who will the Dems in DC support? Their union buddies or the illegal immigrants? Will the unions continue to be angry?

I love to see Dems kiss up to everyone and then betray someone after getting elected. Don't you?

Kind of a modern equivalent of the WW2 Lancaster or US B52? Do we still have large-payload bomber planes or has this role been completely taken over by fighter jets? Thanks!

Now that we have solid PROOF that the iranian government was indeed supplying weapons to Taliban in Afganistan, is it that far-fetched to think they are supplying weapons to the insurgents in iraq (what ppl have being saying for a long time now)

what if we found it it was, got them to stop (by either talks or force) and all of a sudden the violence in iraq stopped.....

because as i remember, there wern´t 100´s of sucide attacks and roadside bombs in the begininnng, only in the last couple of years.

so, what if we get iran to stop supplying weapons, training and insurgents and then all the violence.... just went away?

Since Guiliani let his personal life be sinful for 14 years, why should we trust Guiliani to manage problems which are far less urgent to resolve than committing incest?
