per President Bush you are guilty of

undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people;



"the greatest concern to the American people are the underlying provisions of this new law, and which, they state, are written ‘so broadly’ as to outlaw all forms of protest against the war"

How is it that we fight terrorist in the middle east the keep from fighting over here? I dont understand, We're up aganist millions who are willing to strap a bomb to there bodies just to kill a hand full of americans, or anyone that doesn't agree with there way of life. To me thats an unstoppable force especailly when these people are being brainwashed into believing that killing all outcast of there religion is the right thing to do. I deployed to iraq for 15 months, and i honestly don't know weather is a good idea to stay or go but i don't understand how us being there will keep them from comming here, thats like an invite.

As we all know the Democrats are vested in defeat in Iraq. If they wanted to end this war, they could with defunding, which is allowed. But they won't. They want to make sure that GW Bush gets the blame on this. Everything they concentrate on is all about Bashing Bush or impeaching him. Now if we should defeat Al-quida in the next few months, will the Dems try to take the glory? It won't help thier presediential bid. But what would the Democrats do considering thier hatred for GW??

My husband and I sold some land to my cousin at the end of Nov. 2004. We did is as owner fiancing with a 1% interest rate. The first payment was due in Dec 04, we call and they said they would have it to us the next week. Well, need less to say we called them in January and she said she would bring me the money the next day. February we called again and she said they would have a 1 lump some for us the next week. 6 days later we got a letter from a lawyer saying to quit harrassing their clints as they did not own us any $. Well, we did have legal papers drawn up and promisary notes. They did give us a down payment that was enought to get it relesed from the bank and that was all. Now the house got forclosed on and sold to the highest bidder on the court house steps. The company that bought it is the sister compnay to the company that financed and built it now we are meeting with this company, b/c they didnt let us know they were selling. so do you think we get some money tom?

Sheesh!

I know, you all thought this would be the 111,000th Lib-idiot rant about how a few stupid butt pyramid photographs and playing with the A/C and the lights at Gitmo put our troops on the same level as Josef Mengele....

Well it's not.

I have two parking tickets. I want to appeal them. In one, I'm blatently guilty. I was parked on the road in front of my house when the sign said "no parking on Monday from 7AM - 5PM." The other was for an expired meter. On that one, I actually thought the meter was busted...and the ticketing officer got the color of my car wrong (wrote "grey" when it is actually blue). The two tickets total $90...they're my first tickets in the city of Albany. I got them a day apart. Can I successfully appeal these mothers? If so, how? Thanks!

Do you B, Work for someone, knowing what you do, leaving no doubt to the cause and accident of the situation, but have to follow an employer?

Do you C. Care less and smoke and make your ways out of situations and could care less what people think?

How do you feel about this?In the era of an unfavorable war,recruits have fallen 15% the last quarter and fell the previous quarter as well for the army.Is this the answer?
Personally,I feel that in order for anyone to become a politician,they must serve a full tour in one of the 4 major branches prior to becoming eligible to represent this country.Maybe single out the guttless and crooked and provide those remaining with a clear view of just how their decisions impact families.

I traditionally vote Republican, however, I want to be fair and open minded. Which candidate should I look closely at if the issue most important to me is taxes. I believe that the recent tax breaks have stimulated the economy quite well and have also helped me get a little ahead in life. Which candidate is opposed to increasing taxes if he/she is voted into office?

I just found it very interesting that he compares out healthcare industry to countries that don't have millions of illegal immigrants trying to sneak in yearly. His solution is to use tax $ for universal healthcare but what if millions in this country are not paying taxes. Does that mean he wants me and other people who work full time to pay for the healthcare of people who break the law and come here to to steal from our tax base?

I contacted the air show offices and they said it was "undisclosed information" but were able to tell me it would happen in the afternoon. I am from out of town and would like to know the general time the practice occurs.

NY pension funds invest the pensioners' funds - pretty simple. About $3BN of these funds is invested in the entertainment industry (I'm hoping that includes conglomerates like GE because that's too much otherwise, but that's another topic).

Sharpton says the fund managers should not be allowed to invest the funds in, and should divest the pension funds of, stocks of entertainment companies that produce rap with objectionable lyrics.

The fund managers OWE A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO THE OWNERS OF THOSE FUNDS to try to maximize return and minimize risk.

They have no right to use those funds to try to affect social policy - - - even if you think gangsta rap is wrong, if stock in the company that produces and sells the CDs is determined by the fund managers to have the best risk/return profile for the funds invested, that stock is the asset they should buy.

'Sides - Buffalo - what would Rick James think?

This country is getting messed up. The government pays the rich and taxes the poor, we don't have national health care(fyi I have talked to Canadians and Japanese and they told me wait times aren't that long they are just a tad longer than the US may be a week), start unjustifiable wars, our free speech is diminishing as we speak b/c of the patriot act and we stand and take it some even support it. The constitution clearly states that the US people have the right to overthrow the government and create a new and fair one if it gets out of hand so why don't people rise up and make a change? Not through violence but through protest and boycotts?

Most illegal aliens come to USA to work on jobs that we don't want or jobs with such low salaries that won’t allow us to make a living and sustain our families.
Let's say the government deports all illegal aliens, every single one of then in one week. What would happen to our economy?
Will it get better or worst?
Please answer if you know about economy.
No racists statements please, not all of them are Mexicans or Hispanics; there are also white illegal aliens (Europeans)
