...possible just to dominate those beaneath them? But now complain because those people below them have arised above their expections and now feel inferior regardless of whether they admit it or not. How besides their false claims of burdening our Government are they able to accept the fact that uneducated,goal driven Mexicans have really contributed to this country without taking it personal for not being in the spotlight other then being revealed as hateful people?!

What part of his movie could republicans discredit? Can they name one fact that he puts forward that is factually incorrect or wrong?

And what do overwieght republican voters think of the way micheal moore is being attacked (simply on the basis of his weight) and this insight into what conservatives think of overweight people (voters), in light of this movie?

FDR drastically increased taxes and spending. The economy grew like it never grew before EVEN if you don't include the WWII years.

Con excuse: Well he came from a depression. Even though the economy thanked for four straight years after 1929, it was bound to come up.

Reagan saw less growth then FDR, JFK/LBJ, and Clinton.

Con excuse: Well, it was because he was coming off a recession. So yes I can see how I'm a hypocrit by pointing at the depression FDR had to deal with as a good thing, but the recession Reagan had to deal with as a bad thing.

The economy grew every single month Clinton was president.

Con excuse: It was all the dot com bust. That's it. The over 22 million jobs that were created were all in IT and they all disappeared after the bust. I have no proof of this but I will assume this to be true.

It seems to me, and many other level headed, educated people, that there are a lot of questions regarding 9.11. Why, when you ask them, are you a conspiracy theorist? Are we so foolish to believe that people in government are honest and direct with their information? Why aren't more people asking more questions?

really as narrow-minded as some of your questions and answer suggest? please read my last answer, if you are not understanding this question.

liberalism will NOT solve all problems, neither will conservatism. and not all of either is anything in particular.(besides human.)

I was with two of my girlfriends at TJ Max the other day. (Girl A=stealer, Girl B=was just there. like me) GA had a purse sitting in her cart and was stuffing clothes in it for an attempt to steal it. GB and I knew what was happening but did not take part in it. We just looked at clothes and gave clothes to GA that we thought looked good. So we are about to leave and I notice all of these employees are looking at us funny. So I tell GA that she shouldn't do this and it's not worth it because im sure they know she put stuff in her bag. So we all try to walk out and we all get stopped. GB and I figure we won't get in trouble cuz we didnt take anything. Turns out we're charged with complicity to theft? What does this mean? What will our consequences be? They say we will have a court date. I have been caught stealing shampoo from a grocery store a few months ago. But all we did was pay a fine then. Does this mean I'm screwed? I'm 15 by the way. Thanks for anyone who can help!

Why is it that those who make minimum wage or barely over minimum wage feel like they're ENTITLED to live in the same houses, drive the same cars, and live the same lifestyles as those who earn more? Why do they feel that those who earn more OWE them something? Why do they feel like the "rich" should pay more of their fair share to help fund social programs and welfare, but don't feel as if they should have to pay any taxes at all? Why do they feel as though they DESERVE the same things that so many of us have worked our asss's off to EARN?

Did you know that Barbara Bush (Barbara Pierce) is related to Franklin Pierce? Did you know that Franklin Peirce was named the worst president of the United States of America?

Is it a coincidence Franklin Peirce is an ancestor of our president, G. W. Bush?

And listen to this, here's another bizarre one. A member of the Florida House of Representatives and the co-chairman of John McCain's Florida campaign, a man named Bob Allen, arrested for soliciting an undercover male police officer for sex. He offered to perform a sex act on the officer for $20. How broke is the McCain campaign? I knew they needed money, I had no idea. Man, that's not a good sign when you're sending guys to the men's room to raise money."

What you think!!!

Supposedly they were flown out of the country when nobody else could fly, not even Bushs daddy and mama. The Bin Ladens weren't even held for questioning. Is this true? Does anybody have links.

Conservatives believe cutting taxes and deregulating is better for the economy THEN shifting taxes to the rich and increasing social spending to help the American people. In fact, they believe social spending leads to recessions and deficits.

HOWEVER, when you look at historical economic data, the opposite happens. Keynesian economics is superior to supply side economics the vast majority of time.

This is what I think:

It is an EXPLANATION when you explain how Keynesian economic theory works most of the time. It is an EXCUSE when cons have to explain how their theories about economics don't work most of the time.

The Washington Post says that lack of post 9-11 terrorist attack, a strong economy and the war in Iraq looking like it is on course to a successful outcome (Their words, not mine but I am optimistic their assertion is correct) means the Bush presidency will go down in history as successful.

In his day, Lincoln's presidency was considered by many to be a terrible national mistake yet now we have a huge monument to his memory in Washington. WIll it bother today's far-left to think a similar monument will ever be made to President Bush in 100 years for his actions during his presidency?

PLEASE....Only answers from thinkers and not koolaid drinkers on the left OR right. Also no answers saying Bush is dumb, etc. unless you are a graduate from Harvard or Yale. If you are so much smarter than him, why aren't you the president?

1. Businesses - whose primary function is to make a BIG profit for their stockholders such that the price of stock increases.
2. Government - which increases and decreases funding whenever the parties in control change?

And don't say everybody should pay their own - most Americans cannot cover cancer treatments out of their pocket. It wouldn't work.

The Prince of Peace clearly explains that war is a sin and not the road to HIM. It is liberals and not conservatives that do HIS work and call for peace among all nations, yet many conservatives demand to indulge in the sin of war, yet they invoke HIS name.

The UN drug report found that 16.8% of Canadians smoked pot in the past year, making them criminals in the eye of the law.
Should Canada push stricter penalities on its use and possession (like in the US) or should pot be regulated like alcohol and tobacco (like in Holland)?
What do you think?
