“First, [Democrats] failed on the radio airwaves with Air America, no one wanted to listen... Conservative radio is a huge threat and political advantage for Republicans and we have had to find a way to limit it. Second, it looks like the Republicans are going to have someone in the presidential race who has access to media in ways our folks don’t want, so we want to make sure the GOP has no advantages going into 2008.” - Nancy Pelosi

Notice how Pelosi admits that liberal radio has proved to be a failure. Radio stations simply WILL NOT air a show that will turn away more listeners that it attracts because without ratings, sponsors, etc. the station or its parent cannot survive. This illustrates a free market at work.

Is it right that now, liberals want to pass legislation which mandates what radiostations will provide for its listeners, in other words, force them to air shows which would otherwise fail because people traditionally have freely chosen NOT to support them?

In Indiana, at what age can you emmancipate yourself? Where I live (Missouri) it is 18. Someone told us in other states it can be one age for males and another age for females. Just wondered if anyone knew.

I'm a Canadian, and follow the American political scene as it directly affects many of components to our society.
I'm flabergasted at George W. Bush and his use of the power which comes with the Oval Office.

I'm wondering what do democrate and republican americans think?
Do you find his actions out of line?
And, democrates, why on earth has there been no papers of impeachment filed??

Pelosi is third in line!

Cheers,
Your friendly Canadian,

Some of MKULTRA's activities were also detailed in a 1963 internal report from the CIA's inspector general. This acknowledged that "concepts involved in manipulating human behavior are found by many people both within and outside the Agency to be distasteful and unethical" and warned that "some MKULTRA activities raise questions of legality". But the details didn't become public until the late 1970s. So I was surprised not to see more on the programme in the "family jewels". Perhaps CIA staff didn't think that forcing mind-altering drugs onto unwitting citizens was a big deal. There was a lot of it going on in the 1960s, after all.
Still, the few references to drug testing in the newly-released documents make chilling reading. Go to page 416, and you will learn of a behavioural drug screened as part of "larger programme, in which the Agency had relations with commercial drug manufacturers, whereby they passed on drugs rejected

My boyfriend told me that he's interested in joining the Naval Reserves, last night. I've been a complete wreck since. I need information about the reserves, how they work, how they are different from the active forces, the chances of being deployed, will he be able to do the job he wants to, how can one be deployed if they only do 1 weekend a month? He's 25 with a college degree in marketing but has been out of work the past 2 months. He wants to do Media Relations work at the base in the city where we live. Apparently he thinks he's just going to walk in to this position at this particular base with no risk of being deployed. After talking with several people at work today, they've stated that this is def not the case. They said that recruiters will say anything you want to hear to get you in the door but it's never true afterwards. I was also told that reserves are the first to go overseas to Iraq and the like. Can somebody please provide me with accurate info? I'm a crying mess!

Obscenity laws state that in order to be obscene, it must be considered by the community as a whole as being obscene. With this in mind, consider that the porn industry out sells Microsoft by 25%. If thats not the community as a whole accepting pornography, then what is? Let me know what you think.

...that the amount of anger, hate, cussing, racism, and evil has maximized from both sides of the immigration issue since this whole immigration bill was presented and shot down?

and note that i say BOTH sides of the issue. i've seen all kinds of names, slurs, and heated debates that often include personal assaults.

who agrees that both sides need to clam down a little bit? i have seen so many offensive words used that were directed at one person, yet insulted many!

you know what i'm talking about.

We all know that no matter how much you bash a person's beleifs they will not change their minds. So why can't we all just stop insulting one another and respect eachother's opinons?Lets stop with the stupid stereotyping and generalizations...because it does not get us anywhere, each person is different and just because you are in one party does not mean you agree with everything that party stands for. People ask insulting questions on here...on purpose....just to have people agree with them...so they can feed their ego. Politics are not black and white right and wrong it is all a matter of opinion. I mean we can question someone's opinion but not beat it down to a pulp. I admit I get carried away sometimes too but we all really need to stop and remember we are all Americans and we all want what is best for our country. So lets all grow up and have a more mature YA politics section...okay?

protest immigration. 2/3 of americans supported that bill, and the 1/3 is exactly are the high school drop outs(college too). They actually have to compete with with the illegals for jobs and because of their own stupidity for not finishing school they blame their misery on undocumented workers. It's quite sad. Well you can be sure that you will not even be able to deport half a million illegals before they will be given amnesty in 2009 so keep whining, but when the congress is 75% democratic, your whiny voice will not be heard anymore, bigots.

Please tell me if you have witnessed the same media phenomenon that I have seen over the past few days...

Why is it that today, when the immigration bill was struck down, the Yahoo! headline was, "US Senate kills Bush Immigration Bill" and after the Senate voted to keep it alive on Tuesday the headline was, "The Senate's revived legislation to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants faces a critical test Thursday after surviving potentially fatal challenges."

So when it seems feasable, credit goes toward our Democratically controlled Senate, but when it has proved to be a failure, Bush's name is exclusively tagged to it?

Media bias?

Talk about pandering to an audience.

And who exactly is dividing this country?


Black voters are a large and critical part of the Democratic primary electorate, making the debate a must-attend for candidates seeking the party's presidential nomination. Civil rights activist Al Sharpton and Princeton University scholar Cornel West were among those in the audience.

Segregation was not the only issue. In turn, the candidates discussed their hopes to stem poverty, improve the economy and end the war in Iraq.

"This issue of poverty is the cause of my life," said John Edwards, the 2004 vice presidential nominee.

Said Obama: "It starts with birth."

A half century of desegregation law — and racial tension — was laid bare for the Democrats hours before they met. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court clamped historic new limits on school desegregation plans.
