I really think that if Hillary wins the primary election, she should choose Evan Bayh from Indiana to run as her Vice President. He is a lot more conservative. And the Democrats need to move from the far left closer to the center. Hillary is definitely more liberal and will need a more conservative running mate in the fall if she hopes to win.

Yep, I know we need another photo op here, but again why the delayed response from our "Commander and Chief"? I guess domestic issues don't matter as much to him if at all. You think he would have learned a lesson during Katrina when he decided to attend John McCain's B-day first.......

Right wing apologists suck. This guy is a lousy president and they have no business defending him anymore. But go ahead and give an excuse......what, did he need to make sure the area around the bridge wasn't also going to fall in the water?

Are they that selfish?

Take for example a good friend of mine - her husband left her, and she has to feed 3 children. She works 12 hour days, and if it weren't for welfare, she and her children would be on the streets!!!

Is that really what conservatives support?? Putting FAMILIES on the streets?? I try to help out whenever I can, but I too am short for cash.

Despite all this, conservatives want to cut welfare spending!!

At least the clintons never gave billions of our tax dollars to Haliburton to "fix" New Orleans and then leave the country while people died.

Whenever somebody asks who's going to work on the farms if all illegal inmigrantes were to be deported, a lot of people answers that i'll be no problem at all, given the fact that before ''massive illegal inmigration'' the job was done by Americans, but nobody says they are going to try it for a while, nor they want to replace this illegal workers, except for 1 or 2 persons saying they used to do it before, but not a word on whether or not going back to the ''good ol' days''

Not UNCOMMON...

A woman I know of has 3 kids. She filed in 2 different states for child support and lives in 1. She never closed the case in the 1st state and now both are after the dad. He (a friend of mine and his wife) has always been on time, but he can't get it off his credit report. He has tried everything but CS does not help men (they are really stupid & uneducated) and can't afford a lawyer who's not going to do the job.

She continues to make more money than him, she lied on the form, wants to get $ from his current wife, owns a home, a timeshare and travels all of the time. She leaves the kids at home every weekend and sleeps with/brings home married men, leaving the eldest in charge or sends them to friends/neighbors. She lied in court & said that she needed $ for babysitter and got it. She has made friends with some of his friends and lied to them.

How can he get a lawyer to help seek justice (jail?), stop her, & pay back the money she has gotten illegally?

In dealing effectively with illegal immigration, we have to deal with the true issues at hand. Because of our inept govenmnent, our frustration boils over and we find ourselves hating not only illegals but hispanics as well. Corporate America has always recruited illegals. National and State representatives have also cashed in on this practice. It saves each state countless millions. Have you not seen State jobs being set aside in many states just for illegals. Who do you think are building many of our roads? Who do you think are building our state and city offices? Illegal immigration is wrong and will eventually be the downfall of America, but fault the governors, senators, corporate America and the other crooks. It's a business! Illegals are working openly. Why run, they are more protected than we are? I saw a farmer go to Mexico and recruit illegals. He paid them $32,000 yearly.

Who is really at fault? Do you make $32,000, and you have a degree?

You didn't want women and the blacks to get the right to vote. Most likely it was because you thought it was your right under god. You don't support a woman's right to choose, but you really wouldn't even need to go down that road if you would take away the stigma from the morning after pill or contraception. You don't support the gay persons right to be married - which will eventually go down the same way as blacks and women voting. Bottom line - you are always wrong. How does it feel? You are on the same side as the KKK, the Nazi's - all because you feel that your mythical god tells you that is what you should think. DO you ever have those days where you wake up and think - man it would be nice to think for myself? All I am saying is that I think if you look to the future - you will see the bigotry of this administration being turned back - and eventually equality and goodness will return to the world.

CARACAS, Venezuela - Sean Penn applauded President Hugo Chavez as the Venezuelan leader lambasted the Bush administration and demanded an end to war in Iraq.

Cuban-born actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who grew up in Venezuela, said Penn is lending support to a "totalitarian" leader who wants increasing control of society — a charge Chavez denies.

In a phone interview from her home in Beverly Hills, Calif., Alonso said although she respects Penn as an actor, she hopes he "comes to his senses and he realizes that he's being used."

I would have the say the Irish Armed Forces. They're very small and very proffessional like the British. With an army of 10,500, an Air Corps of 30 planes and helicopters and an unknown amount of navy personnel to me but have reformed in 1922 and only take part in UN peacekeeping operations and are ONLY trained to defend Ireland from armed aggression, you can't beat that.

I purchased a table on e-bay. It was defective. The seller and I mutual agreed to not go through with the sell. She gave me a full refund and was supposed to arrange for the table to be shipped back to her. 10 days later when I still had not been contacted by the seller or the shipper I contacted the seller again. She asked if I would allow her to resell the table and ship the table directly from my home to the new buyer. I agreed. The terms were a 3 day auction and the table would ship with a week.

The 3 day auction turned into a 6 day auction and 2 1/2 weeks after the auction has ended I still have the table. The buyer never paid. The seller has never contacted me and I'm sick and tired of having this huge box (6' x6') on my back porch.

I'm tired of waiting. The seller of the table knows it's here and has not done anything to remove it. When is it considered abandoned property so I can get rid of it?
