I've heard wives talking about accessing 'their' AKO accounts.

Do they actually have their own or are they using their husband's as theirs?

Hubby is unavailable for me to ask right now.

Do we allow ourselves to be governed more by our own silence rather than by our own participation? If so, what have we to ***** about? Don't we get what we deserve?

hes not doing such a bad job.
Just like hoover, all the mistakes hayes did jumped back at him, and everyone said it was his fault.
Most everyone who "hates" bush only "hate" him because its the thing to do. Just because he has a texan accent and can't say some things doesnt mean hes a bad guy.

What do you all think.
And for the people who hate bush, tell me some reasons ^_^

What are the songs you like to listen to while deployed? Songs you've put on a mix-CD to those deployed? What really gets you thinking about the soldiers?

All genre's... I've talked to soldiers and there are ones I'd never would have thought. It's interesting once you really get going about it....

Teddy Kennedy was a "Legacy" at Harvard, which means he got in just for being a Kennedy. Yet he was expelled for cheating. So apparently, "Daddy getting you in" doesn't mean you get a pass on academic standards once you're there. Somehow though, lefties insist that Bush's "Legacy" status at University means he didn't earn the degrees. How often do Harvard and Yale hand out unearned degrees? If they did it for Bush, how do we know that they don't do it for a LOT of people? Wouldn't this mean that degrees from Harvard and Yale are basically worthless?

We were attacked on 9/11 by terrorists, not by the bush administration, we invaded iraq because we were tipped that there were weapons of mass destruction there and they had the intent to use them against us, and also terrorism was linked to the government. We demolished their government--which is exactly what needed to be done--and now we are responsibly staying to clean up the mess we made. And that means fighting the insurgency long enough to build a stable government, and training their forces to do the job so we can leave them on their own. Americans are not the bad guys, we are taking care of what needs to be done.

How can you argue with this?

Bush is smarter than them.
Has more power than they can dream of.
More money than they can ever earn with their GED's
Flew Jets and got an honorable discharge

I am white and to be honest the discussion comes around some time about reparations , affirmative action , calling Negroes African Americans and everyone always says they ought to just go back to Africa if they do not like it here . They need to stop complaining and get a job or just go back to Africa .

If you have also heard this then be honest and say so .

Are there no Republicans who are more appealing? We get only Mitt "Double Guantanamo" Romney and Rudolph "Self-proclaimed Hero" Guiliani? Where's the likeable non-idiotic candidate that has a chance?

Who has greater influence on elections - people or the corporations/elites? Do people's voices matter over the lobbying of corporations and financial elite?

If no, then face it...elections are just to make you believe that you choose your government.

Are you ready to admit it...?

We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America , but we haven't a clue as to where thousands of Illegal immigrants and Terrorists are located.
Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration?

After all, nearly every single one of them were using "Bush's unjust war" to their advantage. Once he begins pulling troops out this fall they'll have nothing to fall back on. Will this ensure a GOP candidate in '08?

My mother died 07/09/2006. I am in Kentucky; my mother did have a will. And I have been through probate court and named executrix. She did own a home which I am living in and currently paying the mortgage on. The house was initially worth 32,311.00. And I still owe 20,956.90. She did have some bills left behind totaling around 13,000.00. I guess my questions is can they make me sell the house or is there something I can do to save the house. Any loopholes. Because in those debts are not really mine. And my lawyer has a different story every time call him. It doesn’t seem as if he is really fighting on my behalf.

While I support most of the Democrat's political views, I am just annoyed by the fact that they back down from Bush so easily.

All it took was one "You're hurting the troops" from Bush, and the Democrats agreed to keep financing the Iraq War without a withdrawal deadline.

It was the same with the war itself. I'm sure half the Democrats who voted for it did so because they afraid of being labeled soft on terrorism.

I just hope they're not wondering why their approval rating is lower than Bush's, or why people questiion if they can handle national defense.

Many standing in the convention center orthe superdome had gold teeth in thier mouth, they had Jordan's on their feet, thick gold chains around their necks and other expensive clothes.

Now there is nothing wrong with having fine things, but if they could afford all those items, why were they considered 'poor' and 'underprivileged'?

How could they afford all of that expensive stuff.

This is not a racist question. I just would like someone to explain to me how they could afford that stuff but were still considered 'low income.'

In the general public, about 10 people support Hillary for every 1 that supports Ron Paul.

This question isn't about who you prefer, I'm asking why there's such a discrepancy between those who answer political questions on YA and the general voting public.
