Hillary seems like the kind of person who spends a lot of time studying the polls and then adjusts herself to what she thinks everyone wants to hear. Now that she knows that religious people carry enough election weight to get a person elected she's now going around talking about God all the time. She looks, acts, thinks just like all the other Republicans. She's abandoned all the people who got her where she is, and she hasn't spoken anything much about liberal causes that are important to us. Remember she voted for the war in Iraq (she had to vote for it before she could vote against it - just kidding) - I don't see much difference, she seems to care more about catering to the rich, to appealing to people just becuase the polls say she should and she stands for nothing. She's like a woman that goes out and says she can be bought with a price, who is the highest bidder She just changes to fit the polls and stands for nothing.She might as well ber GOP - just like them. Comments??

Today when read about past presidents, history tells us that some were good, i.e. Lincoln, and Roosevelt, and some were not so good, i.e Nixon. What do you think people will be reading in 100 years time about George W. Bush, Dick Cheyney, and their years in the Whitehouse.

My fiance' is in Parris Island and has been since May 14th. He found out his grandmother [his legal guardian before he turned 19] has a rare form of lung cancer shortly after arriving, and his grandfather [also his guardian.. they are considered legally his parents] now is having to have heart surgery to have a pacemaker put in and no one will be able to care for his grandmother in case anything happens to his grandfather. His grandfather informed me about the Hardship discharge and I've sent him the details on it. I'm pretty positive he'll recieve this due to the circumstances, but does anyone know about how long this takes to process once he informs his SDI?

After reading a question designed to place fault with the Bush Administration , I just had to post this .
Arms sales to Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries has been done for decades by BOTH parties . And BOTH parties currently agree on this one too .
The reason why we do it is not all that difficult to understand . We do it to stabilize the Middle East especially when 1 or 2 countries have acquired such a military force that they become a threat to all of the others . We 'even-out' the playing field much like during the cold war when the Soviet Union had many nuclear missiles and we had many as well . It's the 'Mutually Assured Destruction' deterrent . And , MAD is/was very effective . Neither the U.S. nor the Soviet Union would use nukes knowing full-well the other would retaliate and no one would win .
Calling this a failed 'Bush' policy is completely and factually incorrect .

Hatred is a disease that blocks rational thought .
How many of you are afflicted with this?

The Bush administration is preparing to ask Congress to approve an arms sale package for Saudi Arabia and its neighbors that is expected to eventually total $20 billion at a time when some United States officials contend that the Saudis are playing a counterproductive role in Iraq.

Rs. 1.5 lakh to each kashmiri terrorist who surrenders and Rs 2000 stipend per month till they find a job. There are millions of honest jobless people in the country and the UPA wants to reward the terrorists for killing our soldiers while they cut off the BSF's pensions? What is the reason for this cowardly muslim appeasing act! Now the muslims want to kick out labourers from other parts of India in Kashmir coz they think their conduct is not right. When will Indians say we'll kick out muslims from our states coz their conduct is not right! I wonder why the Indian defence forces suffer these Indignations and don't resort to a coup and take over this corrupt anti- nationalist UPA govt! I'd rather have military rule than this corrupt UPA govt!

where was the govt at when all of these mortgage companies gave out high interest loans that shouldnt have been done in the first place? should the govt. help people who are going into foreclosure because of high interest? where are the over 1 million people in foreclosure going to find homes, whos credit will now be worse? isnt it the job of those mortgage companies to ensure that people are financially sound enough to handle the payments, now because of their bad judgement many families are left with no where to go? do you think the govt should step in and help those people? those people will now have lower credit scores than before and have a hard time finding any housing... what is the govt going to do about the increasing number of basically homeless people due to this problem?

Why is it that there is so much sympathy for a woman that wants to have an abortion? I know that I must sound like a total a$$hole by saying this, even though that's not what I want. But seriously, unless the woman is raped or otherwise became pregnant against her choice, why should I feel bad about her predicament? She ultimately made the decision to have sex, which certainly was her rightful choice, but there is responsibility that needs to be taken. It is just as if a person was a smoker, and wouldn't you know it, he got lung cancer because of it. I am not going to have the slightest shred of sympathy for him because he knew that his habit could do that to him one day. If people want to have sex, which is entirely natural and normal behavior, that's their choice. But at least take a little responsibility afterwords.

So enlighten me: why should I care about the unwanted pregnancy of a woman who, before choosing to have some fun and a good time, knew what she could end up with?

This morning a user asked, "What is your solution to the demise of the Republican party?" One answer said the republicans needing to regroup.

The Democrats took power in both the House and the Senate at the turn of the year. This was a HUGE issue for the democrats and quite a HUGE victory!

For weeks prior to being sworn, during swearing in and ever since, most the people elected vowed to correct everything the previous republican administration had ruined.

Are people coming up with questions like this (((("in the know")))) about the approval rating in the Democratic (led) House sliding to an all time low of 14%?????

Republicans regrouping? They're regrouping started to take place 7 months ago when the libs were sworn in. The result of some of their regrouping has the libs pecking at each other, pecking at others and they've lost a grip on reality by not doing ANYTHING constructive ever since.

I wish to hell I could get paid for doing nothing! When does their raise kick in? lol

hi,
I've just purchased a house.
since it is only 2.5 yrs old and the house looked all fine, we bought it unconditionally without inspection
2 months later on the possession date, we've entered the house and noticed that all the doors in the house do not close properly, and we found some long and big cracks on the walls and ceiling.
The house must've shifted and tilted on one side after the offer date when we looked at the house. The realtor said that the contract states that the conditions of the house must not be substantially different from offer date to the possession date.
We are really upset with the sellers because we believe that they should've notified us of the changes and done something about it.
We're thinking of bring the sellers to the court and demand that they fix the problems or refund the money.
Unfortunately we have no proof, but just us and our realtor's words agaisnt theirs.
Can we win if we bring this to the court?

I am divorced and currently living in Bahrain (separated from the military and opened a business overseas). I want to have my daughter live with me during the time that was specified in the court order, however, my ex is fighting this. Nothing was specified in the court order. My lawyer is telling me that more than likely, a Guardian Ad Litem Attorney would be appointed to us. Could someone tell me what my chances are at getting the Guardian Ad Litem to to sway the decision my way to allow my daughter spend the time that I am granted with her. My ex has a lawyer and their argument is that the distance is too far for a 4-year old to travel. That sounds bogus as I am sure that there are 4-year olds on Earth somewhere that make trips like this. Also, their other excuse is that what if an emergency arises, the mother won't be able to get to where her daughter will be at in 5 hours or less. My divorce took place in Ohio, so, any help anyone can provide would be nice.

I am highly doubtful but just wondering.....if finance has consistently been shortchanging me since I PCSed to my new unit and I have consistently been resubmitting paperwork to get it fixed and collect my backpay and they just keep 'misplacing my paperwork,' could this be a breach of contract? I'm getting rather tired of showing up to work day after day and dealing with all the bullshit and doing my end while the army keeps screwing me on my pay. The main issue is the fact that I'm supposed to be receiving seperate rations since our DFAC is shut down because the unit is deployed. I'm getting kinda pissed, this isn't the first time either. My pay was getting completely jacked up while I was in Iraq and it was a nightmare getting it fixed and collecting backpay. I've been overpaid before and they wasted no time in fixing that and taking their money back. I'm pissed...

I know the constructions guys need to wear hard hats and tie themselves off if they go above a certain height. But i have never heard anything about painters. If anyone knows about this Id appreciate it.
