Why do we have to choose to be a Republican or Democrat in the primaries to cast our votes? Can we vote for people from each party? What about the people running in Independant Parties? Why are they left out?

Why is it that the human rights activists see human rights violation when criminals and militants are caught and interrogated, but are happy to look the other way when dealing with the suffering of the innocent victims?

"On CNN's Crossfire on October 20, 2000, Larry Flynt exploded a bombshell: that he has evidence that George W. Bush was "involved in an abortion in Texas" in the early 1970's - when abortions were still illegal."
Larry Flint has been the undoing of a number of Republican lawmakers, such as Vitter. So much for family values.

Wow...and it only cost us a trillion dollars, 40% of our currency value, our reputation and aprox 4000 US lives.

What will Bush do for an encore? Fire our nukes straight up?

Does anyone know about haskinsgroup financier or James pearson with House Of Green?
James Pearson with House Of Green emailed me with a work from home job opp. and I was to collect funds from his clients and distribute to different charities. I recieved a check from Haskinsgroup Financier for 22,400.00 and already started issuing the funds out as Mr. Pearson requested. As a result my bank account has been closed and it is over drawn 20,700.00. Now he won't answer the phone or respond to any of my emails. I have both of their emails if anyone else have been scammed or knows anything please contact me. Here are their emails:

Please list the scientific organizations or the name of the scientists who believed the earth was flat.

=================

Fact is modern science (as in scientific method) didn't begin until the Age of Enlightenment with people like Copernicus, Galileo, Tycho, Kepler, and Newton. Nobody believed the Earth was flat back then. Even the fundies in the Catholic Church didn't believe this. They believed the universe revolved around the Sun. People figured out the earth was round since Greek times.

FYI: The Christopher Columbus controversy was not over whether the Earth was flat, but over how big it was. Google Columbus and flat earth to learn more.

That the military continues to exceed it's recruitment goals.

Americans in Iraq, who chose to be there using their own free will, will continue to kill all the terrorists while remaining safe and stablizing Iraq.

Congress will extend Bush's tax cuts for working people.

Ginsburg, who has already lost her mind, will retire giving Bush one more SCOTUS pick.

Full pardon for Scooter Libby.

Iran's nuke sites to be taken out

Israel to STEAMROLL over Gaza and the West Bank and to stay permanently.

Please God - Let Hillary be the DEM nominee!!!! Please.

Bush vetos any LIB spending bill

I meet a fine young conservative man with maximum earning potential who attends church.

lyrics by Buffy Sainte-Marie

Universal Soldier

He's five feet two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years

He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
and he knows he shouldn't kill
and he knows he always will
kill you for me my friend and me for you

And he's fighting for Canada,
he's fighting for France,
he's fighting for the USA,
and he's fighting for the Russians
and he's fighting for Japan,
and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

And he's fighting for Democracy
and fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
who's to live and who's to die
and he never sees the writing on the walls

But without him how would Hitler have
condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
as a weapon to a war
and without him all this killing can't go on

Clinton fired all of his AG's to cover up for the ones he really wanted to fire... specifically the one investigating Whitewater. Nobody gave it a second thought. But Bush fired 8, and the Dem's are having all these investigations... when Bush did NOTHING WRONG!

Shouldn't we impeach members of congress for encroaching on separation of powers?

Or, will Ohioans be treated like the Okies during the Great Depression.
Most of the US jobs exported overseas came from Ohio. The Ohio economy is dismal and not expected to improve anytime soon. It is expected that as much as 20% of the population of Ohio will leave the state for greener pastures.
Those people who remain in Ohio will strain the social programs. More federal tax money will be needed to support the growing welfare class in Ohio.
Is the rest of the country ready for the Ohio immigrants? Is the rest of the country ready to dig deeper into their pockets to support the new Ohio welfare state?
Good thing the rest of the country is saving money buying those cheap goods from China.

This is London, but, were we to elect a Socialist leader like Hillary or Obama, take a look at our future, they are already giving points benefits here in America at large corporations for employees that are healthier, so, now when you see a fat person, not only will judge them as useless slobs, but now you can also label them as a drain on the economy and your rising health premiums. And, oh btw, Hitler would be proud of London for their fat tax, it just screams of Social Darwinism, n'est pas?

man made global warming?

I don't see any logic in it. The only reason they come up with EXCUSES and CONSPIRACY THEORIES is because the scientific consensus is against them just like it is on evolution, stem cell research, in vitro-fertilization, birth control pills.

--------------------------

LIST OF THE TEN MOST WELL ESTABLISHED US EARTH SCIENCE SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS ON MADE MADE GLOBAL WARMING:

1) THE AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION, FOUNDED IN 1919, OVER 45,000 MEMBERS
"Human activities are increasingly altering the Earth's climate. These effects add to natural influences that have been present over Earth's history. Scientific evidence strongly indicates that natural influences cannot explain the rapid increase in global near-surface temperatures observed during the second half of the 20th century.

Why is it always editorials from a DIMINISHING handful of INDIVIDUAL SCIENTISTS from political and amatuer websites like CATO, Heritage, junkscience.com, and youtube.com?

And why do they have to come up with conspiracy theories all the time? Example: I come up with the ten most well established earth science scientific organizations and their official statements supporting man made global warming.

Con say: All these scientists are socialists who hate capitalism or capitalist who are just after the global warming money.

Can any conservative answer this challenge and give me a list of SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS against man made global warming, when they were founded, how many members they have, and their official statements?

President Clinton has a new book coming out next month, that's right. And he says in this book 'I've done my best to demonstrate what I've seen firsthand around the world.' That's right. Which explains why the book is called 'Global Booty'" --

at times central govt officers vested with local purchase powers are compelled to buy items at higher than the MRP. The items are purchased against lowest of at least three quatations. Most of times the lowest quoted rate is higher than the MRP. It is neither mandatory nor insisted to mention Brand as well as MRP. The auditors in this country of ours are either too busy or ill intended. Not even 1/6 worth of item against expenditure to the exchequer is recd actually. can there be a solution.
