Do you think that Mike Nifong pushed the case so he could secure the black vote and thus win re-election?

And do you think that concept will ever come up in his trial?

Do you think American people should be entitled to universal health care regardless of wealth?

As a UK citizen we are proud of our National Health Service. OK it's not perfect and there has been a certain degree of mismanagement in recent years but at least we know if we fall ill we do not have to worry about insurance policies or cheque books. It is a simple concept: everybody in the country pays 10% of their salary and everybody looks after each others' health. Is it not time America got into the 21st century when it comes to taking care of it's most vulnerable citizens.

Why do both parties seem willing to let 12 million illegals join the U.S.?

I'm out of the country for an extended period, and would like to know about the immigration debate. I figured the Republicans would take stern measures against illegal immigration, while Democrats would have hippie sit-ins and talk about how the illegals are all hard woking grape pickers.

However, from the few articles I was able to gather, it seems like both parties are just content to let in 12 million people, although they may have to pay a penalty.

Is no one worried about permanently changing the racial composition of the U.S.? How about wages? Isn't letting in all these people just an excuse to keep wages low?

What are the real issues being debated? Has anyone seriously broached the very non-PC topic of maintaining the current racial composition in the U.S., or are politcians too gutless to speak about the obvious?

Another Crack Addict get's away with DUI...?

I think Paris should have hired Marion Barry's lawyer...then again, if his charge went to trial in DC, the probability of at least one crack-head on the jury would be enough to let jim skate out on a DUI...

Good God...are we going 3rd world?

Politicians kissing up to immigrant's voting power?

Should I trademark my questions as if I'm alone with these thoughts?

Thoughts:

I think it would be NEAT! if:

1) All of the immigrants who are being coddled by the Polliticks would collectively BARF! on the Polliticks at the same time. Perhaps from airplanes at low altitudes so that the objective targets could be hit over a larger area.

2) All of the other "classified/divided" voters would join in on the "BARFING"!

3) If Polliticks would stop agitating us with this coddling of people's (groups) personal needs ahead of everyones collective needs.

I'm bored with:
The hispanic vote.
The white male vote.
The soccer Mom vote.

etc...

What the hell happened to the American Vote?

Suckers?

The polliticks are more concerned with your votes (groups votes) than they are about your groups needs anyway.

It goes like this:

Get the votes...Then do what you wanted to do in the first place now that you no longer depend on their votes.

Suckers!

Hey the Chinese are going to build a $300 mil auto factory across the border in Mexico-who will they hire?

The Chinese say these cars will be less costly than cars made in US and about 6 states have them on order already. The corp will receive many tax breaks. Who exactly is working overtime to destroy the productivity and well-being of the US. Does it seem like the quality of life is crumbling here while 'big wigs' make these 'beneficial' BLOWS to the middle class.

Why do some conservatives not believe in global warming, but still believe Saddam had WMD?

do they just belive the things that have the LEAST evidence to support them?

one of saddam's former generals says Saddam moved the WMD (the big new ones that Bush said he just made) to Syria or something and they take it as fact...

but the majority of the scientific world does research on something and comes to certain beliefs and your "naive" if you belive them?

now, granted, neither one is indisputable fact true or false... but which one seems more trustworthy?

Why does it take...?

Why does it take a tradegy like 9/11 and our soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines to be deployed for some americans to realize they need to support our military? Before 9/11 we would go shopping on pay day and you would hear oh god its military pay day and we would be treated like crap, but since then its oh your military we love you...or how I could drive down a street and see not 1 car with a support sticker, magnet ect. before 9/11 the only ones with any hint of support were military or prior however after 9/11 everyone thought slapping a magnet on your car meant you cared. Dont people realize that my husband and all the other military personnel are working 24 hrs a day 7 days a week 365 days a year, not just when a tradegy happens....

why are liberals weak kneed?

isnt it true that every liberal man running for president,when at home is completely controled by his wife.thats how they seem to me.like that pusssywhipped friend you may have.they are weak people who have no firm stance on anything,are obbssed with political correctness and want us to lose the war in iraq.they fail to realize that this is post 911 and things have changed.they have a pre 911 mentality which is scary.they support extended faimlies in the immagration bill,which will result in about 50 million immagrants to this country.why are they not reasonable.if we capture a terrorist who knows of a plot or bomb that will kill thousands of more americans,they dont want to use any method outher than asking questions to retrieve an answer.like they will ever just tell you.because the men are such sissys isnt it true the only man running for the democrats is hilary clinton?

with us and Russia throwing out millions if not billions into space, wouldn't the money be better spent here?

I mean there is so much wrong with the planet we try to live on, and there dumping trucks full of cash to a almost meaningless space program. isn't it time to fix the problem of this planet before we cause new trouble on mars, or on a pointless expierment on a shuttle? Just a thought, have we really been to space, or the moon, at all. could this be just a gaint slush fund for another grand scheme by our government. can someone give me irrefutable proof that we were there?
