I have no problems with affordable health care but not FREE health care. Just like a lawsuit, if it is free, people would love to sue anything for money.

Do you not see your anti-semitism and the ties you have to Nazi Germany not the one you claim Republicans have. You want to defame a 4,000 year old religion whose members have been present in Canaan (currently the area of Gaza up to parts of Lebanon and Syria). Judiasm is a major influence on the religions of Christinanity and Islam. The British Mandate of Palestine that was adopted by the UN gives the Jewish people their homeland irrevocably. Your acting that Israel has done nothing for use forgets the Jewish resistance to the Nazis and the founders of the PLO the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem collaboration with the Nazis against the allies and their desire to create a final solution in the Middles East also. Palestinians were members of the Waffen SS. In all wars the losing states lose territory thus why should not the Palestinians? And Holocaust denyiers remember Soviets, Catholic Poles, Gypsies, Gays, Mentally Ill, and the disabled were also slaughtered in this.

It is becoming increasingly clear that one of the things facing us from the Insurance companies will be to charge us according to out lifestyles. Smokers, drinkers, overeaters, undereaters, underexercisers, overexercisers, workaholics, gamblers, those who drive too fast, those who drive too slow, etc. etc.
What these people are saying is that if you do anything extreme and become a medical risk whether mentally or physically it's going to affect your premium. It will start with the smokers, then the drinkers, then it will continue to snowball.
My question is... How many of us fit the perfect citizen criteria? Already we, or at least I, can't get insurance because of pre- existing conditions. Are those of us who don't measure up to the expectations of a board of inquiry going to be left out? Are we any less human than others who are more fortunate or may have made all the right decisions and were afforded the wonderful opportunities to make mental and physical healthy choices in life

Bush for somehow approving the entire ordeal, and continuing to force it down or throats despite its disasterous results?

Chenney for being the true drivign force on this thing?

Or the republican party, whos enabled bush and/or chenney to continue this for so long?

Whos most responsible???

AND - do DEMS deserve applause for not being part of this...and merely criticizing these efforts and attempting to change them -- but never allowing repukes to hand over accountability of this mess in some form.
Because the sole responsiblity for IRAQ execution is and will continue to be on repukes shoulders?

June 1st was my last day from job A and I finished moving 3 hours north to my new home after work. We left on OK terms. He was kind of upset I was leaving bc I was a good employee. Regardless, I started a new full time job B on the following Monday, June 4th. I was doing very well there until I was terminated bc someone stole $300 from my bank. Two weeks later, they were terminated after they caught them red handed. The day I got terminated from Job B, I filed unemployment. Because I got fired they had to investigate it, and two weeks ago got a statement saying that my determination from Job B is granting me benefits, however it was being held bc of another issue, which ended up being Job A. Now, today I get a letter in the mail saying Im not getting benefits because I moved and had to quit job A. Which really confuses me because that isn't the reason I had to file unemployment in the first place. Someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do to appeal it.

Of course, everyone knows illegal immigration is abundant in America, many against, many for.

But before we are so quick to pick a side and stick to it till the bloody end, why not examine both side's arguments and draw a personal conclusion, right?

First, before we may make accusation of people, we must set ourselves in their shoes and ask ourselves for a motive.

The crime: crossing the border. Motive: ?

Many would say the motive is for a better life. This is not so. In fact, most Mexicans crossing the border come here for three main things: life, freedom, and family

You see, in Mexico, who's government is grossly corrupt, hardly anyone is 'free.' you can find this pleasure easily in America.

In Mexico, death hovers amongst many. And if not death, surely the possibility. Poverty and hunger brings about this sort of thing.

And in Mexico, family is everything. If family is threatened, there is nothing that can stop the determination to fix family.

There is but one burning hope that can ensure the survival of life, freedom, and family. And that hope lies within the borders of America. "Surely anyone can do it the legal way," you say. But is that truly so?

Entrance into these United States requires chiefly knowledge of America (history, flag, states, cities, etc...), money, English skills, and time. The thing is, some Mexicans do not possess all of these requirements and to gain them would take even more time, which death surely does not wait for.

The longer the wait to America, the greater the threats on life, freedom, and family become. But most people would never leave these in the line of any threat. So they (ones who do not possess the requirements to enter legally) take the only option left that would ensure the survival of the three treasures.

So they look at the path. Pain, suffering, and death on one side yet hope and survival lies on the other. And what lies in obstruction? But of course, the law forbidding the secret entrance into America. When weighed on a scale of priorities, surely any person would take life, freedom, and family over the compliance with one law.

Now, you have stepped into the shoes of those desperate ones. Of course, there are those who wear a different pair and take to this land for selfish desire, but the majority of those desperate come here for the reasons I have explained.

Please, what are you thoughts?

Bush caused human suffering and death. why the public media doesn't cover this news to death rather than Vick, Bush is more of a public figure or Vick. Bush needs to be prosecuted and punished. what he did is a million times more serious than what Vick has done. i am sure many dogs have been killed in Iraq too if that what takes us to accuse Bush for a crime! don't respond emotionally but rationally

Exclusive | Emails Detail RNC Voter Suppression in Five States. By Jason Leopold and Matt Renner

Previously undisclosed documents detail how Republican operatives, with the knowledge of several White House officials, engaged in an illegal, racially-motivated effort to suppress tens of thousands of votes during the 2004 presidential campaign in a state where George W. Bush was trailing his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry.

The documents also contain details describing how Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign officials, and at least one individual who worked for White House political adviser Karl Rove, planned to stop minorities residing in Cuyahoga County from voting on election day.

The efforts to purge voters from registration rolls was spearheaded by Tim Griffin, a former Republican National Committee opposition researcher. Griffin recently resigned from his post as interim US attorney for Little Rock Arkansas. See article

This is going to sound horrible and evil and stuff, but I am dying to know. Before you ask, I do not, nor ever will, own livestock-type animals.
Here is my question: Is it illegal if someone outside of a farm buys a live animal and kills it for food? For example, if you buy a live chicken and kill it, is this animal abuse? Like I said before, I AM NOT PLANNING TO DO THIS. I DO NOT, AND NEVER WILL, OWN LIVESTOCK. I am just curious to how the law for this works.

Ok, on one side you have the Republicans who lied to get us into this endless war with Iraq, and are still lying about it.

On the other side, you have the Democrats, who ALSO lied to get us into this endless war. Now they regret it, but not quite enough to actually do anything to end it.
