I've heard the next 15th or 1st, whichever comes next and I've heard it could take 30 days or more. Trying to budget everything.

It's over-played and starting to get flat out corny. Especially since they are equals and can succeed just as much as a white person if they're willing to do so (If not more, because of affirmative action and forced diversity)

I do. Some little boy asked a question about Hillary Clinton's political experience and he seemed to think being Senator of New York was all she had. Her whole career has been in politics, so I think she has the experience.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter by the way.

Why when it comes to African Americans (i.e. Michael Vicks, O.J.) most/some White Americans no longer accept the term “a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty?”

I've been thinking and I realize that I know nothing about our government, except for the "freedom" and "equality" part. What's going on up there, as far as Iraq, new laws, the president, conflict, whatever. What's is going on?!? Who are we trying to protect America from and why, who's a threat, who's our ally . . . WHAT do we stand for?

""They are not going to give the man a chance?" Williams said. "You're innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't even had a trial yet."

There should be two undeniable, 100 percent agreed upon truths concerning this case: First, dog fighting is a barbaric felony and whoever participated in it on Vick's property should get hammered by the justice system.

Second, Vick deserves the right to defend against the charges. The indictment cites four "cooperating witnesses," but presuming each is a dog fighter himself, potentially facing prosecution unless they rolled on Vick, who and how reliable are they?"
Maybe he deserves to defend himself and I am sure he can afford very good lawer, unlike those dogs.
Yes, I know they were only dogs, but they still have physiology and suffered before dying slowely. If we tolarete such bloody, sick, ignorant behavior, would that make us barbaric?

I do not believe that employers that are unionized should not force you to join a union. After all, why should you pay Union Dues just to keep your job? Why should you be discriminated against if you are a minority? Why should you have your hard working money go to politicians you do not vote for or approve of?

Thank you for your message regarding the surveillance of American citizens by the National Security Agency (NSA). I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue and share your concerns. Protecting both the security and the freedom of the American people is among my greatest priorities. I share an obligation with my fellow senators to ensure that the federal government protects and defends the people of the United States while preserving the civil liberties that have helped make the United States the greatest and most enduring democracy in the world. President Bush has stated that he authorized the NSA to conduct warrantless wiretapping of communications made by American citizens living within the United States.

Regardless if you’re Dem or Rep, you have to admit, she’s ALL special interest. Isn’t it about time we chose a president that was more than just a long list of special interest donations?

Conservatives...do YOU consider libs as "Progressives"??..if not, what?

Liberals like to think of themselves as "progressives," which is not only a euphemism to avoid the stigma attached to "liberal," but is intended to convey that they are a step ahead of conservatives -- socially, culturally, morally and, not least, intellectually. But have you ever noticed at a presidential debate, like the one last Monday, the types of questions these "progressives" in the audience ask of Democratic candidates, or the types of predictable, vacuous answers they applaud?

Could Moore's next documentary be called "Water-Boarding"?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BURBANK, Calif., July 26 (UPI) -- Michael Thursday said the Bush administration has served him with a subpoena regarding his trip to Cuba during the making of his new film, "Sicko."

The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who appeared Thursday on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," said he was notified about the subpoena at the network's studios in Burbank, Calif.

"I haven't even told my own family yet," Moore said. "I was just informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush administration has now issued a subpoena for me."

Edwards could be a rich person genuinely concerned about the poor. Or he could be running on a populist theme without genuinely caring about the plight of the poor.

A simple test to determine his genuineness is to look at his record as a Senator.

Did he write any legislation to genuinely try and help the poor? Did he sponsor any and fight to get it passed? Any idiot can vote yes or no. Did he actually do anything to get legislation to help the poor passed into law?

Truthfully I don't know the answer to the question, but if you know, I'd like to hear your answer?

I've listened to both sides of this debate and the official 9-11 theory involves a conspiracy that required a guy in a cave to coordinate a plan with multiple other people taking place thousands of miles away in secret. That is the definition of a conspiracy theory too. The FBI still doesn't even say Bin Laden did it on their website. So aren't these two sides (there's really more than two theories but this makes it easier) just debating the likelihood of either conspiracy theory?
