I know that US Presidental terms are limited to two consecutive terms, but can someone serve two terms, take a term off and then run again?

The reason i ask is because its becoming clear that we cant do certain things such as celebrate holiday seasons because it offends people, we must change words in sentences so as not to offend, we are not allowed to wear certain items of clothing.

For instance i was not allowed entrance into a shopping centre because i was wearing a football scarf. a friggin mutha scooping football scarf!

it just seems to me that everything has restricted our own damn freedom that the Government are "protecting".

Why should anyone feel scared to voice their opinions on anything? we should be able to wear whatever the hell we want!

What a croc of hot steaming hamster poop oozing from an elephants anus! screw you the Political Stupidness Crowd!

Dear Mr. Howard,

I work hard and pay my taxes, so does my wife. We have no children (not by choice) so no child support benifit to us.

We don't have a mortgage so no tax break there.

We pay for private health care $320 per month and all we get back there is 30% rebate paid after July 1 and we also pay for medicare with is 1% of our salaries, - we don't go to a bulk billing practice so we are $35 out of pocket for each doctors visit.

I do have to buy over $200 worth of medicine per month to keep alive, so I have to spend over $1000 to start getting cheaper PBS medicines, so I'm still paying for medicines,
so I don't become a burden on society.

We are what most people are Middle class, not rich but OK -

What incentive is there for us to vote for your party ?

Do you think that the world respects Iran?
Although President Bush says that US respects Iran and its rich culture but as an Iranian I have this feeling that the whole world has no respect for Iran and Iranians!
People mostly generalize us with the politicians in Iran who are sponsoring terrorism,
Sometimes having conversations with people in Canada I get this feeling that they even kind of see me (ordinary people) responsible for the evil things my government is doing back there!
In fact we don’t get any respect because we have evil politicians,
Am I wrong on that? Let me know what you think?
Thank you!

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, suggested Bush administration spending on the Iraq war may have crimped funding for domestic projects such as road and bridge construction, and for such infrastructure projects as new levees for New Orleans.
"We've spent $500 billion in Iraq and we have bridges falling down in this country," Klobuchar told MSNBC. "I see a connection between messed-up priorities."
Department of Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said billions of dollars were available for road and bridge repairs.
