Im just wondering why the emotional need to bash and misrepresent Democrats when the Republicans are not really ones to talk at this point.

Another person here has posted a question in which she argues that the hate crimes bill that the Senate is considering is unnecessary, because all crimes are hate crimes. However, I beg to differ. Matthew Shepard was beaten, pistol-whipped, tied to a fence, and left to die, simply because he was gay. James Byrd, Jr. was chained to a pickup truck and dragged until he was decapitated, just because he was black. There is a HUGE difference between committing atrocities such as these on the basis of race, sexual orientation, and religion and killing someone simply because of a personal grudge or for profit. After all, there's big difference between dragging a man to death just because he's black and robbing a convenience store and shooting the cashier just to get money to feed a drug habit.Our government needs to send a message LOUD AND CLEAR that crimes that motivated by prejudice against certain groups will not be tolerated and will be dealt with severely.

I could choke on the number of times that the Bush family has mumbled about giving power back to the states...

Well how do they think Congress got there?

Maybe they are aliens from another planet that is ruled by Hillary Clinton and CNN... that must be it...

It couldn't possibly be that the states elected officials that represent what they want...

No, if you listen to Faux News, then congress is just a bunch of runaway anti-war liberals who landed in washington while they were busy helping Al Qeda...

Living in the Northeast, I have become frsutrated by the great abundance of extreme liberals and communists up here and the crappy weather we get. I have even seen some people wear Che Guevara shirts up here, which crossed the line. I am planning on moving to Virginia or North Carolina, but I am not sure if it is any better down there. I doubt there are many communists and liberals down there, at least.

If democracy defined as the majority voice is the winner , can it be considered as another type of tyranny ? And if you all the voters happen to vote the wrong thing would we do it ?

Let's say you want to keep your Private Insurance. You could choose to "opt out" of the Universal Health Care and go with whatever provider you wished. Those of us who want government coverage can remain in the federal system. If you opt out, of course, no HC tax is take from you, and you could invest in a tax free HSA (Health Savings Account) to cover any premiums ect.
The Universal Health Care insured pool would be smaller, but so would the cost associated with maintaining it, as well as payouts.

Would some bureaucrat decide which doctor I could see? Could I change doctors if I was dissatisfied? This is a huge point. My wife would have died if see had to continue seeing the quack Neurologist in our town.
Would I be restricted in the medications I could use? Who would decide the approved formulary? How long would I have to wait for an operation? Has anybody really thought this through?

I just had a previous questioned answered with a question, "Why don't you ask President Bush why he would send millions to Iraqi citizens while allowing US citizens to starve in the streets?". Is this the biggest load of crap ever written? I work in poor neighborhoods loaded with "homeless" people. The government provides homeless shelters and government housing, emergency rooms are required by law to treat anybody who goes to them, and non-profit organizations actually pick up people from shelters and drive them to street corners to beg for money. How long do you think it has been since someone actually starved to death, and I mean died due to not being able to eat, in the United States of America?

Nothing from them would surprise me anymore . So I won't be surprised if they do , but I think the vote count will change in favor of support for this war . BTW , the Top Secret briefings were designed to allow Senators and Congressmen to hear some things they do not know , and to allow them to ask questions . Initial reports estimated that maybe only 200 were in attendance , but now they're saying that the number is more like 86 !!
I'm gonna check and see if my representatives attended . . . . will you ?

Wanna friendly bet ? Mark this question in preparation for the next withdrawal proposal , and we'll see which way the next vote goes !!
