Which presidents were actually honest and/or not corrupt?

Is the crooked politician only a product of modern times?

Which party is the most sincere and honest, regardless of their stance on issues?

It's like they all are thinking, "I only have x amount of time, how can I pocket the most cash before I leave?". It's just like the whole cash flying around a phone booth thing you see on game shows. Don't these people care about the legacy they leave behind, or the reputation of their family name?

52% of the public have already stated that they will not vote for her under any circumstances. Why would a party support a candidate that they know has no chance of winning? Is it their goal to make sure a Republican is elected in 08?

A wide and sustained conversation about the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment (BDS) campaign — why it is needed, what conditions it is trying to change, why it is legitimate, and who its opponents are — is a very important educational tool in the struggle for human rights internationally.

I was attending basic in Great Lakes,IL when I was removed from my division and placed in the VA hospital. I was reported as having 'night terrors' but personnally don't remember having them. At the VA hospital I was diagnosed with depression and a thyroid defeciency. The military liasion said I was receiving a general discharge (which isn't honorable or dishonorable) with an RE-4 code. I was told by HM2 that I would be able to re-enlist in one year from my enlistment date. Now that I'm back home, friends who are in the military tell me an RE-4 is bad news. That I won't be re-enlist no matter what, esp. with the 'depression' on my record and that a recruiter won't even take time to try and upgrade my code. Is this true? What does an RE-4 really mean and will I ever be able to re-enlist ?=*(

I was talking to my friend yesterday concerning the movies and TV shows everyone watches online (I do it ALL the time)...She heard from lawyer friend that watching these illegally uploaded movies (even from sites such as YouTube, Dailymotion or Veoh) can incriminate the uploaders AS WELL AS the viewer...

Is this true? Has anyone else heard of this?

Is genocide the only answer? Is there a way to co-exist with a group of people who are willing to kill themselves and their children in the farcical belief that there are 72 virgins waiting in paradise for martyrs? Why 72 virgins? Are they sexually repressed? What is the answer to dealing with these people?

many Al Qaeda terrorists they have killed?

Can't ask the dead Al Qaeda guy, most US troops don't speak Arabic so they can't ask any Iraqis, & any foreign Al Qaeda Arab looks exactly like an Iraqi Arab. Plus if a bomb blows up an Iraqi house that contains innocent Iraqis civilians & a few Al Qaeda terrorists & they are blow to bits, how would you know which is which?

The Path To 9/11 Documentary is being blocked from being released on DVD. What and did Sandy Buglar steal to cover up 9/11 and why does the former Clinton administration fight so hard to cover it all up. Micheal sicko Moore puts out his propaganda at will but the truth about the Clinton cover up of 9/11 cotinues to be blocked at the highest levels.

Do the veterans have civil rights or civil liberties? Dont you think they should be given freedom of speech to speak out their mind regarding war in Iraq since they are publicly opposing the war?

Someone shoots a gun. I don't know what they were aiming at. It goes through a window and strikes a woman who's about 7 or 8 months pregnant. The sex of the fetus is known. The baby's name was already decided. But it dies. The woman lives.

where is you respect for human life?
a woman needs to make the choice to be a mother or not before she has sex , not after . if she changes her mind , the baby shouldnt pay the price .

Ok. how far does "freedom of speech" go... I was sitting here and I started thinking about this whole freedom of speech and it just doesnt make sense. Can I go to work and in front of customers and co-workers and I say HEY I THINK SOME WOMEN IN HERE HAVE A NICE SET OF TI_TS... That would get me fired i belive. But its my freedom to speak that way:FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Can a cop pull me over and call me a dirty hispanic??? Wouldnt that be his right as an american?? And wouldnt it be my right as an american to call him whatever the hell i wanted??? How does this REALLY work. Does anyone know how it ACTUALLY works? I welcome all responders please I would like your opinons but I would love it if someone gave me FACTS and not ETHIC/MORAL answers. But again all answers are welcomed hence the topic.

In a recent poll in may, Bush's approval rating, along with Congress is about 30% (source: http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2007May11/0,4670,APPollBushCongress,00.html)
In another unrelated poll, Sunnis take up about 15-20%
(source:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/28/AR2006112801277.html)
Now, i believe that while Saddam Hussein was in power, mostly the Sunnis supported him. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6238435.stm)
Based on these facts, Saddam had approximately 15-20% of his country supporting him, while president Bush has about 35% of the country supporting him. I'd say that's about roughly the same percentage of approval. Now i ask you although this is highly unlikely, how would you feel if China viewed us as under an oppressive dictator and invaded the U.S. in order to "liberate us." I'm sure they heard about president Bush's detainees in Guantanamo bay and about Florida's controversy in the election. So, could this happen? Would you welcome them?

As a former Marine, I can tell you, I'll never be hijacked. Shouldn't the government deputize active/former service members on flights?
Also, do you think the Dep of Homeland Security is the next, big, government money pit ?
