Lets hope so!
8 more years of the Bush family is what this country needs!
If i had my way as a Christian and American i would simply do away with elections and allow President Bush to remain in office as long as he wishes. But since he must step down, lets get his brother in office for 8 more years!
God Bless The Christian States Of America!

My son is there now. From his letters it doesn't sound like he's received any of our (family) letters - he can write us. Do they keep mail from them for a certain period of time and if so, do they at least tell them that they at least HAVE mail? It concerns me a lot. What kinds of things do the recruiters lie about and get away with? I'm a bit concerned as he sounds disappointed and not giving much in details -- just bits and pieces and it's kind of confusing. Anyone with experience with this? Please share for this mom worrying --- really apprecite it.

I started a business from scratch, now employ 6 people and it is a very solid business. My income grows every year. Problem is, I owe the IRS constantly and it's threatening my business. 15 years and I have gained nothing, and it's not because of George Bush. Bill Clinton nailed us in the 90's. It has been a complete waste of time. I gained nothing and it's all because of taxes. Not the economy. Not Free Trade! Taxes! Money redistributed instead of freely flowing through new employees and growth! EXPLAIN!!!! I live in NY State! Liberal Capital! I am supposed to work 60+ hours a week so some idiot doesn't have to? So some government employee can collect a cushy pension for barely working? Explain the facts and save the rhetoric because you people have no idea what is happening.

Don't you think its very curious why they are never even asked the hard, important questions?

The debate showcased an assortment of the most unproductive questions I’ve ever heard, such as telling us who their favorite teacher was as a child, and spending far too much time letting them prance down memory lane. Those questions belong on a human-interest talk show interview, not on a national debate. They were a colossal misuse of time, with no bearing on who is fit to lead America.

Has there ever been a politician who ever pulled a "Robin Hood" type of move at the expense of his/her career? If its so impossible to "accomplish" what politicians are supposed to as far as advancing their country in the right direction, and end up lying and being bought off, etc...why not make the first move and do something illegal that this country will benefit from?

So why in the world would someone support the same type of individual for president and not someone who made it on their own merits?

I have lost my bike Hero honda splender when I parked infront of a super market in Hyderabd. The bike was in locked when I went in to the shop. I gave a complaint in the near by police station. They told me to wait for 2 days so that they can keep under observation. Then they can book FIR. The reason is once FIR is booked it is not easy to get back the vehicle. We have to go to the court several times even if it is located. Is that correct. I am I doing right?
Can any body suggest what is the best action? Is there any possibility to get back such lost vehicles? whether any influence is required in the police station. The insurance for the vehicle also expired.

You can check any of the several Pew or BBC global polls on the subject. I happen to side with the majority on this.

The Senate does have this option. If Bush has nothing to hide, then way the overly broad claim of Executive Privilege ? Stonewalling should only be applied in vary NARROW circumstances. I would enjoy seeing Rove, Miers, and Bolton in the Capitol jail.

Afghan police found the bullet-riddled body of one of 23 South Koreans held hostage by Taliban kidnappers.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry identified the victim as 42-year-old Bae Hyung-kyu, a founder of Saemmul Presbyterian Church who traveled abroad on volunteer missions twice a year.

If I only work 3 days of the week, when I am expected to work 5, I will not keep my job very long. Granted, I am not a Federal employee, but I know many people who are and this standard applies to them as well. Why is Congress held to a different standard? They have the responsibility of legislating the laws of our country and they can't show up for a full work week? This is ridiculous.

In other words, do I need to pay a royalty fee or buy a license to make money (just a little bit) selling some books (printed and bound in my own home) that employ fonts from MS-Word? Or did buying the license for the software cover me for that?
