Obamas people stated that hillary was obsessed with the "GOP attack" team and all that served to accomplish was to continue to divide the country.

Do you think hillary wants a country divided? What would be the purpose of pitting us against each other?

Seems to me she is obsessed with power and control, and if I knew of an attack team I would see if they needed my help, because there is no attack team, so is she delusional as well as being an obesessed megalomaniac?

The reason I ask is because the current republican repsident bush has destroyed civil liberties and made the US simular to a police state where people are afraid to speak out against the curropt regime in office.

Do you think President Ron Paul will be different?

Oh and I call him president because the other candidates I wouldnt pay a wooden nickle for

He's talking this week about "no more empty promises for New Orleans".. Ok.. seriously.. I know the area was devastated, and I know it wasn't handled perfectly.. but geez, how many millions and millions have to be thrown at the problem? People, corporations and other groups sent untold millions for the cause..How much more do they want????? And let's think about this.. alot more cash would have been available to rebuild and help needy families if so much hadn't been wasted in fraudulent claims....

My brother was pulled over for speeding last night and he has a bench warrant for him in Kansas. He was pulled over in Indiana. They arrested him pending whether or not Kansas for sure wants him. He has a misdemeanor charge and the warrant was failing to pay a 187 dollar fine and not reporting for his probation. He is sitting in the local jail right now...will Kansas extradite hime back to Kansas?

because he has said he wants our troops to leave Iraq by the end of this year? After all, Democrats who have said the same thing have been accused of aiding the enemy for it - so why not him?

The cons keep arguing clinton had OSB and did nothing. Well gee, just how many times has Bush let OSB escape?

Seems to me after 911 capturing OSB is more critical for bush and gang. however:

"And so it has gone for six years. American intelligence officials interviewed by NEWSWEEK ruefully agree that the hunt to find bin Laden has been more a game of chance than good or "actionable" intelligence. Since bin Laden slipped away from Tora Bora in December 2001, U.S. intelligence has never had better than a 50-50 certainty about his whereabouts. "There hasn't been a serious lead on Osama bin Laden since early 2002," says Bruce Riedel, who recently retired as a South Asia expert at the CIA. "What we're doing now is shooting in the dark in outer space. The chances of hitting anything are zero.""

MCHenry County Judge to issue a restraining order to prevent the debate. How many illegal immigrants does this Holiday Inn employ and why is it that illegal immigrants can march in our streets, hold rallies and commit all kinds of illegal acts while law-abiding U.S.Citizens have their free speech prevented? Let's get immigration down on the Holiday INNs across the USA and fine them for hiring, harboring, and helping illegal immigrants. Do you think then that their "fear" (which was the reason cited for demanding the restraining order) would then be justified? These illegal immigrants have spat on law-abiding citizens, have tried to do all kinds of things to cause law-abiding citizens to react violently and the citizens have not done so. So, where is the justification for this curtailment of free speech?

I've been toying with the idea of moving to America for quite some time. I'm not in a very good financial position though.

The thing is I don't want to wait for a good financial position. I realise that by waiting for that I will certainly be waiting forever.

So the question is this:

What would you suggest a young British man do if he just stepped off a plane in America with zero money, nowhere to go, and obviously no job?

Also I find it unlikely I'll be bringing any of my worldly possessions with me, so it'll be just me, the clothes i stand in, and a few little bits to keep me sane.

Just a worst case scenario, I probably will have a very limited amount of money. lol

What would you suggest to be the first thing I do if I go ahead and 'take the plunge'?

Ok im looking into a future worse case scenario that hopefully wont happen. Someone sued me in small claims for a little under $1300. Considering if I cant pay that back, what can happen? I have a newer car, but I dont own it and im only 6 months into the 5 years finance. Im renting the place where I live and there isnt anything thats in my name. I work but make tips so my checks are really small (about $120 bi-weeky, any servers would know this). Basically my situation has got real bad and im barely making enough to cover myself right now. But in case I can pay them within a reasonable time or they decide they dont want to do a payment arrangement, what they can done to me?

What is the legal basis for this presumption ?

Is this presumption rebuttable ?

Can judges draw general conclusions about human conduct and use it as the basis during trial ? Can a trial be conducted based on such generalizations or assumptions ?

gone too far? A young 13 year old boy playing childhood pranks -- ding dong ditch -- with other friends touched the breasts of a 13 year old girl when she answered the door. Now that young boy must register as a sex offender and will be on the sex abuse registry for the rest of his life because Governor Rod Blagojevich believes children are MINORS of convenience -- meaning that they are minors only when he wants to control them or "protect them" like for driving vehicles, smoking or drinking, but when they behave like children, touching boobs or pinching butts as is routine for most young people (until recently) they are now capable of self- control and should be treated as adults? Why is our government so warped and why is it that the juvenile laws are not uniform so that kids are juveniles until they become 17 and then, they are adults from there on out and can do whatever an adult does? Why should they be able to joing the military and carry guns & kill but not have adult rights

If we don't want the illegals here, then why do we make their children, born here while they are here illegally, United States citizens? Isn't that giving them a mixed message? I'm not taking sides, just trying to get an answer to something that doesn't seem logical.

The Mexican Senate is urging President Felipe Calderon to send a stern note protesting the U.S.’s deportation of Elvira Arellano. Arellano is the illegal immigrant who had taken refuge in a Chicago church for the last year. She was apprehended and deported by U.S. authorities after she snuck out of the church and gave a speech to an illegal immigrant rights rally in Los Angeles.

“For the Americans to deny her the human right to live in freedom and prosperity and forcibly send her back here is a crime,” charged Senator Ernesto Mentiroso (PRD-Sonora). “Mexico is no place for a single woman like Senora Arellano to raise a son. The opportunities are much better in the United States.”

Mentiroso also asserted that since Arellano had already illegally entered the United States twice she should have the right to stay in America. “This woman has run the gauntlet of the American border twice,” said Mentiroso. “It is her determination to be in America. It should be her right to stay in America.”

The Senate approved a scholarship to help Arellano’s 8-year-old U.S.-born son, Saul, “should he suffer the misfortune of ending up in Mexico like his mother.” Saul is still in the United States.“For the Americans to deny her the human right to live in freedom and prosperity and forcibly send her back here is a crime,” charged Senator Ernesto Mentiroso (PRD-Sonora). “Mexico is no place for a single woman like Senora Arellano to raise a son. The opportunities are much better in the United States.”
This, from a Mexican Senator leaves me speechless and breathless.
