Politics & Government - 2 August 2007

Without telling me what you think about the government or what your own personal beliefs about each political party..

What are the basic beliefs of the Democratic party?
What are the basic beliefs of the Republican party?

What does each party stand for, represent, and support?

I know someone that hit a parked car, and ended up on someones yard. When the cops got there he was found under the legal limit of alcohol but he is not 21 yet so it still counts as a DUI. They also found some mariguana just enough to know he was smoking it. Thank god that no one got hurt. He already has a court date, can some one please tell me what you think the judge is going to do? other than not having a licsence for a long time.

Here, you have a President of the US telling his people to ignore congressional subpoenas and Congress seems to be powerless to do anything about it. Why isn't the Bush/Cheney team being impeached, and why aren't Harriet Miers, Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales under arrest?

It's impossible to tell anymore who is a real braindead republican, and who is just pretending to be one to piss off 'libs' (whatever the hell those are).

whose target is ..Russia. And they organise an attack equivalent to the 9/11 but in Russia. Does Russia has the right to invade us, to fight terrorism?

Who is your vote going to and why? My vote is for Hillary. Everyone voted for the war after 9-11, yet this is the one major thing that is being held against her. Who didn't want to go to war against Al Quida? We just went to the wrong country.

For instance.
we could do a story about torture and show victims of torture
by the hand of what ever govt. or group. the immediately
following that story do a story of how Cheney and bush endorses torture and water boarding. then do another story perhaps a documentary on ancient torture techniques.

Thats the technique that Faux News uses.

PNAC Penelope posts bogus question about bush ecoconomy.
I post back with numerous facts refuting her propaganda.

Yesterday, Just For Laughs, I posted the whole thing all over again, in the form of a question about, "Aren't THEY the ones who were upset about "infringing on Free Speech?"

I just got another violation notice and THAT question has been removed.

Golly gee.....do we ums have some widdle baby-ums in the audience?? Who stomp dey widdle feets when dey don't get ums dey way?

Guess what.

You can delete the FACTS about the bush horror-of-an-economy all you like.

Delete all day long.

A fact is a fact is a fact is a fact.

I love how everyone interprets the 1st amendment to imply a rigid seperation of church and state. Jefferson may have favored this but the actual constitutional compromise is much more brilliant. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
This really states that congress may not single out anything that is unique to religion.

"respecting" means referring to or about.... as in "with respect to". Its the legal term.

An establishment of religion does not mean establishing a state religion. rather this means any of the things that are solely relious in nature. "Prayer", "Churches", "Sabath", "Tything", "Crucifix" are all establishments of religion and congress is not even allowed to mention them in a law.

This means that congress can't single one out over another cause they can't mention them. They can't touch a religion cause they can't even mention it.

There are 4 other garrantees in the 1st ammendment, where are we at on those?

I've often wondered about this. It is true for all democratic set-ups in the world, at least as of now. Two major political parties dominate something like 70-80% of vote share and usually alternate to form power. The chances of a third front, when it rises suddenly is diminshed. France had a leader called Le Pen who had his peak of success in 2004 and then started "diminishing" again.

US: Democrat and Republican
UK: Labour and Conservative
Japan: Liberal Democratic and Democratic Party

What is the difference between these "democracies" (which are more of two opposing clouts) and a single-party dominated electorate such as China and Russia.

What are the specific advantages to a citizen in say, Japan over a citizen in Russia. The former has only TWO alternatives - the latter has only ONE alternative. Does that make any real difference?

Only technical answers desired please. Please write intelligent. Thanks.

I mean with all the jobs to choose from, a man decides who wants to go be a combatant in a war zone and get well paid for it. Thats a personal choice isn't it? PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY...RIGHT?

The far left fringe feasting on their own is, of course, hardly a new phenomenon. There are nearly half a dozen pejoratives reserved for any liberal who would dare to be a guest of "the enemy." Quite ironic when you consider that House Speaker Nancy had no fear of slapping on a do-rag and having a siddown with actual "enemy" Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (as have Republicans), and in light of the current Obama/Clinton dust up over Obama's remarks that he would go "toe to toe with the leaders of rogue nations."

And why not? if Nixon could stare down China, if Reagan could do the same to the Soviets, why should the Dems cower before aggressors?

They shouldn't.

And why should elements of the far left slam Dems who have no fear of li'l ole Fox News?

They should not.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said this today. This culture in the Middle East has been fighting for thousands of years. Did this administration ignore history or is it just plain stupid? Is this another indictment against the Bush presidency?

Barak wants to go into a country that we recently funded - Pakinstan.

Pakistan calls Barak ignorant.

"Obama warned Wednesday that if he is elected president, he would order US forces to hit extremist targets on Pakistan's frontier with Afghanistan if embattled military ruler President Pervez Musharraf failed to act."

Seems like another warhawk?

Will this act create more terrorists?

If he is elected, will we be getting another Bush?

i think it is ridiculous to follow such a process that certainly contradicts itself. what punishment is that which does the same as the crime? cruel and unusual punishment is unconstitutional as clearly stated under the fifth amendment. is it usual to see a man or woman's foaming mouth as the smell of burning skin fills the air? okay what are youre thoughts?
