Seeing the emergence of mud slinging and personal attacks already all over the media..........what do you think all this will be like as it gets closer and closer to election day? How many of us are prepared to sort out the 'hype' and 'dirt' from the real issues confronting this nation? Are we willing to do real homework here, instead of letting the media pre-digest everything for us ??

Paticularly, the NYPD psych exam.

I was in shock and disbelief to see war protestors standing outside of Fort Knox holding signs that said SHAME SHAME SHAME on you!! What the h-ll!!! Especially since every single civilian surrounding that base either works there or knows someone that does... The soldiers support their economy!! (let alone this country)

I have been reading this a lot.

He's either running fro VP or Secretary of State.

I feel jipped. I donated to his campaign, and now I feel that he's just running to "assist" Hillary Clinton. I thought my vote and voice countee in this country? I guess "they" already choose who's President long, long before the elections even happen.

Aside from my rant, is this true?

Do you think America would support this candidate and his young, voluptuous wife?

Would she wear such cleavage revealing dresses to formal white house dinners? When meeting with dignitaries?

All articles says she is very intelligent and a strong woman....However, will the fact that she dresses and looks like a call girl hurt his possible candidacy?

6 of the 8 leading democratic presidential candidates spoke at a forum hosted by the Human Rights Campaign. (the two that declined, did so because of scheduling conflicts).

However, none of the leading Republican candidates would agree to a similar forum.

Republicans will not acknowledge existence of gay people and are unwillling to ruffle the feathers of the extreme religious right, who appear to be the core supporters of the Republican party.

Sad thing is, myself and many other gay people, while socially liberal are fiscal conservatives. I would love to be able to support a candidate, (probably Republican) who had similar fiscal views...however, I am unable to do so because of their staunch stand against equal rights for gay people.

Our neighborhood is being terrorized by a teenage drug abuser whose family moved into our area recently. He had broken into 3 homes shortly after they moved in - was arrested, but now is out on bail and pretty much doing whatever he wants whenever he wants while the parents turn a blind eye. Their presence in this neighborhood is the direct result of a decision by board members of a local Episcopal church - who moved them into this area, although they were fully aware of the boy's history of drug abuse and crime. (We notice they didn't move him into any of THEIR own neighborhoods....)
We want to send an anonymous letter of formal complaint to the church board members. Not that there would be anything threatening or improper in the letter - but no neighbors want to be personally identified and perhaps draw the ire of the troubled young man and his father.
It's easy to set up a "bogus" email address....but if there is no personal information included, can it be traced?

A friend asked for a favor, handing me $3,500 U.S dollars. She asked that I deposit this in the bank and wire it over to her in America (I'm currently in Taiwan). Her business dealings are shady, so i was worried the cash might be counterfeit. I took the money to a bank in Taiwan, and only half of them were accepted; the rest of the bills were either from a year that apparently had so many counterfeits that the bank doesn't even take any notes from that year. The rest of the bills wouldn't pass through the machine. Now, they didn't say the remaining bills were counterfeit, but either way, I cannot deposit them into the bank in Taiwan to wire to her.

Now, I'm going the U.S in a couple weeks, and I want to know if I try to deposit this money into my account there to wire to her, and these bills DO turn out to be counterfeit, will anything happen to me? Will they notify the police or put something on my record? Or will they simply tear up the money? Should I just mail her the money?

The fact that Obama sounds like Osama, does that mean Barrack Obama is a terrorist?

My name is Bob, which sounds like Rob. Am I destined to be a bank robber?

Romney sounds eerily like 'Bomb Me'. Does that mean Mitt Romney is going to bomb our families?

Won't they then get the right to have nothing less than minimum wage in which Americans would be making if illegals weren't here? So how can this be a selling point for Amnesty?

Since this was removed I'll ask it again.

Why are the democrats placing themselves above others by flooding the political forums with outlandish avatars, crazy questions and destroying the value of United States citizens with their trashy, abusive and diabolical agenda towards making our Country look like we're a bunch of fruit-loops?

When asked at his press conference yesterday why he doesn't hold Gonzalez accountable, Bush said that there is no evidence that Gonzalez has done anything illegal. Isn't there overwhelming evidence that Gonzalez is totally incompetent? Didn't Bush's acceptance of Rumsfeld's incompetence prevent, or at least postpone, any meaningful changes to Rummy's failed efforts in Iraq? What is it about today's conservatives that causes them to be so harsh and critical of the of failings of their fellow working class Americans, but so accepting of the failings of their leaders?
