What do you think about Russia and China's recent war games?

I really dont trust either. The Chinese are predicted to invade the U.S. by some of the so called "seers of the future". I would really hope our government is prepared for the sneaks. Should they try to invade, be warned american citizens have arms too. They will see the meaning of fighting a whole country.

Do you have to be registered as a republican to vote for one?

I just turned 18 and registered to vote as a Libertarian because I am one but in the next election I want to vote for Ron Paul but he is a republican. I wanted to know if I will have to change what political party I am to republican to vote for him which I really don't want to do. I have never voted before so I don't know much about the process. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Does anyone follow the speed limit on interstate highways?

55 mph is the speed limit posted in my area interstate highways, but almost nobody goes 55. Everyone goes more like 70 to 75 mph and this is a common trend and thats how it has been for the past several years. This has even been confirmed by the speed surveys conducted by traffic engineers working for department of transport. However, my question is that if you're the only person going 55 while the flow is moving at 70 to 75, aren't you endangering your own safety? In such situation, you maybe doing more harm to yourself by going the speed limit then to go 15 to 20 mph over the limit. However, if you go 15 to 20 mph over the limit, you get speed ticket and then you cannot argue in court, that the flow was moving fast. Do the speed limit need to be raised in such a case? the 55 limit has been there for over 30 years without regard to the technological advancement of modern cars. The cars of 70's moved slow, and thats why 55 was initially set as limit. So what do you say about this?

The military "approved" a new policy that forces me to bring my M-16 weapon into the church on post. R or W ?

I know I'm a soldier and it is my duty to serve and defend. However, I'm Christian and servant for God FIRST! And just waltzing into the house of The Holy God Almighty, where His people worship, with a blood spiller is just immoral.

Karl Rove resigns and now Tony Snow is leaving the white house?

Anybody else think they are getting out while congress is in recess for fear there is going to be a major fallout and showdown when they come back?

"I'm going to stay as long as I can," he said without elaborating on a departure date. Sources told CNN he may step down as early as next month.

Snow's comment caught White House colleagues by surprise, and they said they could not hazard a guess about when he might leave.

The 52-year-old Snow, the father of three children, earns $168,000 as an assistant to the president but made considerably more as a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio. He was named press secretary on April 26, 2006.

White House press secretaries in recent administrations have found the speechmaking circuit to be lucrative once they've stepped down. Snow was eagerly sought by Republican audiences before the elections last year, and in a break with tradition he made a number of fundraising speeches for GOP candidates.

The White House has been shaken by the resignations of some of President Bush 's closest aides. Political strategist Karl Rove announced Monday that he would leave at the end of the month. Others who have left since Democrats won control of Congress are counselor Dan Bartlett, chief White House attorney Harriet Miers, budget director Rob Portman, political director Sara Taylor, deputy national security adviser J.D. Crouch and Meghan O'Sullivan, another deputy national security adviser who worked on Iraq .
