He went into Iraq under false assumptions, and his decisions regarding domestic issues in America can be controvertial, such as supporting stem cell research.

Whoever said assumptions can be the mother of all screwups.

Think about it.

If the public were receiving equal bias and opinons, both conservative and liberal, on major news outlets like CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Washington Post and NY Times, would conservative talk radio and FOX News ever have survived?

There would have been no need for them, as their audiences would be getting the "other view" from the regular media.

Conversely, Liberal talk radio like Air America and other liberal talk shows quickly die out. Why? Because they already get those news and views on all the major news outlets. There's no point in listening to liberal talk radio. The market is already saturated.

So logically, doesn't this pretty much prove that the MSM is biased to the left?

Giving the fact that I was never there to begin with, can I get a copy of the ticket or does the city have to provide me a copy of the citation? The City of Baldwin would rather have me pay the fine first and proceed with the appeal afterward. I've sent the city evidence that I was at work, using my company's time-card, at the time of the citation but without prevailing. The ticket is $50 and I would loose a whole day of pay just to go to court. I think that it's unreasonable for the city to imposing that you pay the fine first and resolve the issue in court. That's somewhat disrespecting to the resources of the judicial system. Why do they insist on having me pay the fine first? Do they think that I'll skip town, for $50, if I loose the appeal.

I have an aunt how is in the hospital she's is coming around now, but before, she was unconsicous for about a week. Her husband visited on the first few days, but now isn't visiting at all. My grandma (her mother) is getting there everyday even though it is an hour away from where we live. My family keeps trying to get him to visit (she is asking where he is) but they are worried that he may tell them not to give us any info about her. Would he be able to do this even though it has been my grandmother signing consent forms and going up there everyday?

Why do supporters of Senator Clinton REFUSE to hold her to account for her hawkish stand on the Iraq war? I mean, her "if I knew then what I know now" excuse is beyond the pale. Millions, if not billions, of people around the world were taking to the streets to protest the war before it even began.

How can any person of conscience support Ms. Clinton given her votes, not just for Bush's wars, but for the Patriot Act?!?!?

And WHY would anyone (including conservatives) believe anything that she has to say about health care reform when she is accepting thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the medical insurance and pharmaceutical industries?

If I was a conservative, I wouldn't be all that worried about another Clinton presidency ... despite her (feigned) critical rhetoric, her voting record shows she is marching in lock step with the Republicans. Her foreign policy seems to be cut from the same right-wing cloth as Lieberman and Miller.

If I'm wrong, PLEASE correct me.

there is no scientific evidence suggesting significant risk of negative deffects as a result of mating. Also supposing the psuedoscientific belief that it causes deffects were true, and the couple was gay or used condoms then what excuse would their be?
it is a felony in many states.

PS: this is not in regards to incest between children so don't play the "its to protect the children" card.

Well he talks about inclusion and working to bridge the gap in America but it seems his political teams actions tell a different story. Today, he appologized for a memo his staffers sent out criticizing Hillary Clinton for working closely with Indian Americans in regards to fundraising. He stereotyped a whole race of Americans as people that want to out source every American job. I think it was careless and he should be ashamed. Most Indian Americans are doctors, lawyers and business owners that have no tie to out sourcing. To generalize things like this on a whole group of people that are already misrepresented is shameful in my opinion. If he wants to preach a message of inclusion and non-smear tactics then he is starting off on the wrong foot.

Hillary 08!

Communist Dictators in Russia (Stalin), N.Korea (Kim), Ethiopia (Menguistu), Zimbabwe (Mugabe), and Venezuela (Chavez) have or are in the process of land reform. Land reform being a progressive term for stealing land from and starving the people. The UN and Aid groups have been sending food aid to countries where the land has been taken away from the productive members of society and given to the unproductive. The result is the Capitalist countries are feeding their enemies.
Don't you think that the USA should refuse to send food or medicine to countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela?
It seems cold and cruel, but shouldn't we help our allies and cut off our enemies?

Ok here's the deal. I know this man personally, he's on Megan's law, been tried, convicted and I KNOW he did these things even if it was 25+ years ago and I'm am very positive he's struck again over the years, (he has never apologized or acknowledged any wrongdoing to his 3+ victims). I found out he's been living in a family RV Park/ Campground and he even managed to get the site right next next to the bathroom/bathing area. Now by law do I have the right to email th eoffice of this joint and tell them what s going on or can I suggest to them that they hop onto megan's law and check out their current tenants (i.e: the occupant of #65?) I don't want to cook my own goose but the thought of innocent little kids running around the area especially to the restroom/bathing area scares that crap out of me. Anyone with a legal knowledge know what my boundaries are on this? Please let me know. Thanks!!!
