I got a letter from Al Gore yesterday stating that we need to put a Democrat in the White House when Bush leaves. I think Gore would be much more formidable than Hillary, Obama, or Edwards. He has 8 years experience in the Executive branch and doesn't have the same negatives that Hillary and Obama have. This guy actually got more popular votes than Bush in the 2000 election, and I think he would be by far the most formidable candidate the Democrats could run. I think a Gore candidacy would be a sure thing for the Democrats.

indentity thieves ruin lives, destroy credit, wipe out life savings....since the penal system just slaps these dirtbags on the wrist, if you find the guy who stole your name first, should you be able to mete out your own justice? they took your life, should you be able to take theirs in turn?

Hi, my mother back in ,99 had a car accident and had to have a plate put in. After the surgery my mom was in horrible pain the doctor who did the surgery did an x-ray and said he could not see why she was in so much pain . she went to have second opinons and that just led us to this point this year my mom found out she had a ruptured disc and the bone where she her plate was wearing away she was sent to a surgeon and after looking at the MRI said the doctor who put the plate in did a shabby job ! i want to know in the state of Alabama how long after a surgery has been preformed can you sue the doctor ? I want him to lose his licence and not be able to practice medicine in any state . I don't want no other family to go threw what my family has ! Thank you & God Bless ,

A 2/3s majority is needed in both the House and the Senate. The low approval ratings of both the House and the Senate are the direct result of the Republicans putting partisan politics before the needs of the American people. WIth only a slim majority in both the House and the Senate, the legislation the Democrats put forth is NOT Bush Veto-Proof. If you're unhappy with how the Senate and House are conducting business, please write your Congressman (http://www.house.gov/writerep/) or your Senator (http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm) and tell them to put aside the partisan politics and to get back to working for the AMERICAN PEOPLE!!

..., shouldn't equal pressure be brought on Ted Kennedy to resign as well. It's a lot worse to kill a girl and run away from it than to try to attract another perv in a men's room.

I was going to vote for Hillary until I found out about her outrageous opposition to Gay Marriage. I looked up Sen. Obama's stance and discovered a much more Gay friendly Candidate. My question is, how long has Hillary stood this way about Gay Marriage; and what is her motive?

Ethan M posted a question about both parties being equally corrupt and several people responded by saying that the Dems were more corrupt than Republicans...I would love to hear people's justification for this, as all of the corruption charges I have seen , besides jefferson, have been Republicans.

By that I mean, require me when I go on sick leave to have a doctor excuse with the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment and then go to the employee clinic to be "re-admitted" to work? If not, is there some legal web-site that I can find that a employer can't do this??

I imagine that this varies state to state, but who must yield when traffic is trying to merge onto the highway in NJ? I have heard people tell me either way, and a search on the internet did not yield any results. In some instances, cars have very little room to merge and must immediately get onto the highway or come to a full stop blocking all other traffic trying to merge and traffic trying to exit. In this case it would make sense to me that the merging traffic have right of way.
However in other cases cars have plenty of room and there is no crossing traffic trying to exit, so in that case it would seem to me that the traffic already on the highway have right of way.

Is there a law in NJ about yielding to merging traffic ?

If you are on a jury, would you be willing to err on the side of innocence (of the accused), and if necessary to rule in direct conflict with what the law says in order to prevent injustice?

If not, why do you believe that innocent people should be sent to jail (as nearly happened in the Duke Lacrosse case and as has happened in the Ramos and Compean case and the Padilla case)?

Numerous intelligence reports say that the terrorists will hit 3-8 cities soon and simultaneously . Those assertions come from US Intelligence reports and foreign intelligence reports . Some of them say that rural America will be hit as well .

This is mainly directed to the 'Terrorist Threat Diminishers' out there , those who say that more people get cancer and struck by lightning than get killed by terrorists .

If this happens , will you help others in need ?

And what if it is YOU and your family that suffers directly from an attack ? Will you EXPECT help even though you were laughing so hard while telling everyone there's not much to worry about ? Do your neighbors know you actively diminish the threat ? What will they think of you if you successfully got them to diminish the threat as well , but then they got hit anyway ?
You think about that last one for awhile .
