You guys always whine about "Well if Israel can have nuclear weapons, Iran should to.
And everyone should know Iran should NOT have nuclear weapons. Last I checked Israel was not threatening to blow anyone off the map like Iran.

Gore's Son in Pot, Pill BustAl Gore III, son of the former vice president, arrested for suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs.

I am sure he is not the only one in this house who is "on something", just look at his Dad.

Is anyone shocked by this?

In order to defeat Great Britain, did the American troops use what was considered terrorist tactics to defeat the highly organized British troops? Are these tactics acceptable when used to fight for democracy?

I think we should get our troops home as soon as possible too...

but there is just one thing bothering me... that group of Terrorist that attacked us on 9-11, are in Iraq now, today.

I´m against the Iraqi war, i think we should withdrawl our troops but i´m for the war on Al-qeada,

and now since we know Al-qeada is in Iraq, does that mean i´m no longer for withdrawling the troops and for the Iraqi war?

i mean, it is possible to change your stance on things, since most democrates running (xcept obama) were for the iraq war and are now against it... is it possible for someone against it to all of a sudden be for it???

what are your thoughts on withdrawling the troops even though Al-qeada is active in Iraq??

Michelle Bachmann got permission from "god" to run for Congress after a three day fast (which is even more odd, because her imaginary friend apparently answered 'yes' on the second day of the fast). She slobbered over President Bush to the point of orgasm at the state of the Union address, and her only contribution to the Iraq debate has to proclaim to the troops, on the floor of the House, that "We Love You!" Now, she's over in Iraq trying to find the Garden of Eden or something. Can this religious whacko possibly embarrass her district and her state anymore? What are your opinions?

It will be interesting to see how pliable the American mind can be when it comes to media and marketing regarding Obamma in the current presidential campaign. Just how far will we be pushed towards actually CONSIDERING this guy as a leader and figurehead for America? Hey, I guess we can make mistakes...afterall the terrorists that flew planes into the twin towers just seemed like ordinary people, right? Students and immigrants just trying to make a new life? Yeah right! We must be ever vigilant, but not paranoid. A hard balance to strike - we are all guardians of freedom. But man people C'MON! Lets have some common sense when it comes to our country's leadership. I'm not pleased with most of the things Bush has done. But like it or not he represents America through and through...he's tough, stubborn, ambitious, self-righteous, passionate and a little greedy. Would we be any different? I think NOT. Lets get back to reality people and not be sheep!

When people talk about U.S. politics sometimes they talk about leaning to the left, right or in the middle, but what does that mean? What does it mean if someone is to the left, right or in the middle?

Senator Obama said recently that Bush has not committed anything grave enough to deserve impeachment. Does that mean Obama will use Bush's abuse of power to justify his if elected? The Iraq war was started by Bush and is a war crime by most standards. Violating his oath of office by allowing domestic spying without due process and numerous other abuses have been well documented.

I think that they would win hands down. You would see the field get small in a hurry on both sides (GOP and DEMS). Not sure why the media has not put any kind of spin on it yet.

Last night while we were away from home, the security alarm went off in one room of our home. The alarm company said motion was detected in a room - but not at the doors, windows etc. When we returned this morning, nothing was disturbed and there was no evidence anyone had been in the room or anyplace else in the house. Does anyone out there have any ideas what could have caused this? I am a little spooked and would like to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. Any professionals out there with any ideas? Please no jokes about ghosts etc. - serious answers only. Thanks!

Why is it people think he's the face and brains behind solving Glaball Warming when he flies his Private Jet from Tennessee to Canada THEN gets into a Prius. And by Private jet I mean a small airliner that can hold 20 plus people and there was only 3 people and the Pilot on the plane. Am I the only one that sees his hipocracy? And dont even get me started on his house.

Currently, I move to this country from Puerto Rico. We have some split issues with our status relations with USA. Currently a 50% of our population like to be part of this Country. Why? Because we pay USA taxes in our country and not have the benefit to have participation about USA elections.

All adjectives, metaphors, analogies and descriptions are lost on this President.....

Frankly I am left speechless.

But that is just temporary. Don't worry, I will have much more to say in the near future, so that clear thinking people like me can spread our mandatory pessimism.

How can you say the world is going to end in 10 years because of carbon and then let a major manufacturer of carbon producing vehicles sponsor the event? Must not take it very seriously.

Clinton as President because she will win.....and Bill Richardson as Vice President. I feel in my heart we are ready for this. Clinton has lots of the hispanic and black votes. Bill has plenty of hispanic and white votes. I feel that they can do great for America. Together they can put forth equality in the black , white and hispanic community. I see it as a positive turn for out our America. I am voting Hillary as president and I do bet Bill will be Vice.

In the early stages of the 2000 election John McCain presented a clear and present danger to GWB's election hopes. Though the Republican lobbyists brought out the big gums after McCain won in early states and smeared him. The lobbyist already had their candidate chosen. It was Bush and he won. McCains theories , if put in place throughout the last eight years would have secured Iraq 1 year post invasion and would probably have collapsed the economy of the Iranian extremist by now. I'm betting Hillary gets the nod even if Obama is the more popular candidate due to lobbyist.

The war in Iraq was based on lies and misinformation that has been proven by leaks from our allies and others in our intelligence agencies. Many of the candidates for President voted for the war without reading any of the documents that might have raised a red flag. Kinda like the herd movement when spooked. Hitler used similiar tactics in the 30's.

I know this story is from a conspiracy theory website, but I believe this guy is geniunely telling the truth. Aaron Russo said he had a conversation with Nick Rockefeller months before 9/11 in which Rockefeller said there would be a false flag attack on the WTC to give justification to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, which would open up a huge oil pipeline which the Rockefellers, oil magnets, could benefit and make millions and millions from. Rockefeller said that you would see American troops running around the country looking for bin Laden, who does not exist to make it look like a monster is behind the madness going on. The bin Laden you see on tapes is nothing more than an actor paid by the CIA to act.
