this guy sued a local laundramette run my a chinese couple for $54,000,000 because they lost his $50 pants during cleaning. the first time he went up in court the judge ruled "the business owners did not violate the city's consumer protection law by failing to live up to his expectations of a "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign once displayed in the store." and the case was thrown out the guy didn't get his millions. now the guy is back and wants the court to "reconsider" the lawsuit because he claims the judge made a "fundamental legal error". what do you think about this multi million dollar lawsuit over ONE missing pants that were worth no more than $50.

He has sealed over 1,000 individual cases brought to "vaccine court" for MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). All discovery documents and initial complaints are now out of reach of parents, like myself, who are trying to find out why their child has autism. The President believes that by releasing these documents, companies that produce such vaccines would be uneccesarily burdened with civil cases. What are your thoughts?

Why not send illegals to 6 weeks of basic training and then on to Iraq or Afghanistan for 18 months? After all, if they want to be American citizens, shouldn't they be expected to support the USA? When they return after performing meritorious service, then consider giving them amnesty and citizenship. Why wouldn't this work?

School vouchers would allow parents to choose the school their child goes to. I already pay school taxes (though I don't have anykids), but if I did, shouldn't I have the choice where to send him/her? If the local public school is under performing, and I pay school taxes, why should I be forced to either send them there or pay more out of pocket expense for another school when I'm already paying for school via taxes?

A voucher system would allow me to send my child to a private school or religious school. But shouldn't the choice be mine? If I pay for out of my pocket for another school, isn't that double taxation for the same service?

And by allowing families to go to the better schools, the poor performing schools have to step up to compete, to become competitive for the same pool of sudents. This would only inprove existing schools public or private.

What happened ?? Lying Lefty Liberal owes the President and the rest of this country one very big apology, - but we never got one !! Why ?? Was it because the left were proven so very, very wrong, again and as usual ??? Why do the "goalposts" keep moving with the Leftwing and the War. Once you have consistently made up lie after lie and been rebuked and debunked systematically, doesn't it just expose and display your blatant hatred of America, the President and the Military ??

The fool you voted into the White House (twice) who knows his war in Iraq is unwinnable but won't admit it in public or your own GOP Congressmen who now are voting to stop Bush's monumental disaster in Iraq?

If you have 2 kids and have gotten the credit for roughly 5 years, you owe Bush for giving you $10,000.

Actually, you should send it back in since you seem to bash/hate Bush for every single thing.

When Bush is gone, are you going to beg Hillary to get rid of that credit that saves you money?

i am starting to think there should be no more political parties in the united states. Because everything is becoming too partisan, and , in my opinion, the only way we can get things done is if we work together in a bipartisan government. so, no more political parties, also because elections are becoming crooked, with many people realy not paying attention to where the candidate stands on the issues, and just voting for him/her because he/she is a .."good ol' republican."

"A partial license plate description of a gray van seen in the alley around the time Zina vanished led police to Terapon Adhahn, 42, a Thai immigrant who was convicted of incest in 1990."

Btw, he was subject to deportation in 1990 because he's an ILLEGAL, and fell through the cracks of the system.

Fox and MSNBC also said the police are looking into other similiar crimes to see if this pervert was involved.

Your thoughts?

Ban the word 'God' from being used in public schools: Liberals
Continually rehabilitate repeat criminals: Liberals
Remove the 2nd amendment for Conservatives: Liberals
Favor the death tax: Liberals

These are just a few, but basically why do liberals relish the thought of creating chaos for all the fellow human beings they care so much about?

I am going to throw my prediction for '08 out now, and I am interested to hear everyone else's. I firmly believe that either Obama or Clinton will end up representing the Democratic party in the election (despite the fact that Edwards probably has the best chance of actually winning outside designated Blue Zones).

I believe either one will lead in the polls all the way to election day, simply because it's politically correct to say you're voting for them. I think a lot of people might actually believe they're going to vote for them as they head for the booths. But can anyone else honestly believe that most of America won't collectively 'flinch' at the last minute? I think Democrats are banking on Bush hatred to carry them into the White House, forgetting how polarizing their own candidates are. I believe people would rather vote for a Republican they know little about than a Democrat they have a knee-jerk reaction to. Anyone else have any predictions?

... for health insurance.

And, while you pay for health insurance, other people can wait until they are very very very sick to buy it for the same price.

Is it fair to put healthy young people into a position of not being able to afford insurance? (That's why a lot of young people don't bother to buy insurance.)

Does this give you confidence in Dems?

If the Russians started a nuclear war, the US could choose to fire back, but the Russians would have chosen armageddon on the basis that the US would definitly return fire.

If the Russians started a conventional war, when they got to the French border or the outskirts of Paris, the French would have to make the call, start armageddon or not (they have independent nukes).

It seems like the US either puts enough conventional forces in Europe to stop the Russians before they get to France, or the US has to let someone else make the call on Armageddon.

Unless the US starts armageddon at Belguim just for the hell of it!

Do you agree?
