Isn't it hypocritical that the liberals are concentrating on Senator Craig's sexual life when the last big sexual scandal involved a sitting president who:

-used cigars as sexual aides
-had sex in the oval office
-repeatedly lied about it
-lied to a FEDERAL GRAND JURY
-told the american public "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, monica lewinsky!"
-was accused of rape by another woman

The liberals said "It is just sex."

Isn't this a hypocritical statement?

Any ideas?

Would he be actively supporting the war and trying to convince young people they should serve with honor and loyalty or would he be against one man killing another .

Since he is not around all we have to go on is his love of mankind and his turn the other cheek and let he who is without sin cast the first stone .

So I wonder how christians reconcile the obvious position that Jesus would be against this war .

I have a criminal history from back in the day. I have 4 misdemeanors, and 3 minor non traffic charges, but it seems everytime, i start working w/ a recruiter for the Army or National Guard, they take their time w/ me. It seems like they dont put all their effort in me. I went to a Army recruiter about a month ago, and gave him my paperwork, and he sd, "dont worry, I wont dick u around like other recruiters". He sd that he had gotten other people in witth more serious stuff, but I have not heard from him in a month, and when I call him, he says, "dont worry, I will call u" By the way the misdemeanors were for 6th Degree Petty larceny, and theft under $300, and a DUI.

A prominent world-wide private hospital system has just inacted a new hiring policy where they have stated that they will not be hiring any new employees that use tobacco. They will test all new applicants using Cotinine test which will detect any and all tobacco in the applicant's body. Those who recieve a positive Cotinine test will not be offered employment, but can reapply after 90-days and will be referred to a free tobacco cessation program paid for by the clinic.

What do you think of this? Is it a form of discrimination? If this gains popularity, what will follow? People who are obese will be denied employment?

Ron Paul is the only one that stands out so far - but I don't think he has a chance of getting elected.

Far too intelligent for the majority of Americans.

Why is this part of a candidates platform for consideration .

It does seem like the ultimate slight not to recognize that some people are born who love those of their own gender .

How would you feel if people suddenly decided it was no longer ones right to get married in your 50's .

After all marriage is to bring forth children in Christian religions and to raise them properly .

No more marriages for folks who are going to remain childless or do not adopt .

Where was the election held that deemed the president of the USA was judge, jury and executioner? What say you?
PS. Hope China is not as judgemental when it takes the title of No.1 super-power.

I've apparently been undercharged by PowerGen for the last two and a half years - now I've been sent a massive electricity bill. I've been told that I am liable to pay even 'though my meter has been read by their engineer every month for the last two and a half years! I am now extremely worried & distressed as I cannot afford to pay the huge bill. Can anyone please offer me any legal advice? Surely this is their mistake - so they should be held responsible? How does the law work in this situation?
They are now threatening to cut me off unless I sign a form siting responsibilty. Please help!!

I've been influenced by some conspiracy theories lately ( New World Order) and I really believe things are going to happen in the next 20/30 years. I strongly believe that America will try to seize power over the earth and that we will have an Orwellian state. I also believe that there will be a great war within 40 years of reactionists against the New World Order. Who believes me and which side will you choose?
I will choose the reactionists, even though I'm a pacifist and against killing.
ANARCHY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
Fred Thompson, an actor and former Tennessee senator, ended the suspense Thursday and said he'll declare his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on Sept. 6.
Thompson said he'll make it official in a webcast and then tour Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. He'll also travel to Florida and home to Lawrenceburg, Tenn.

**It's about time. I will be watching closely to see if he can offer anything different than what these tired, warmed-over GOPers have.**

I got pulled over last night, and the car got towed. But . . . I was at a red light, and I was stopped when I noticed the cop pull up next to me. The light turned green and I started to go, and I got maybe like 5 feet away from the green light, accelerating as much as the person next to me, and then the cop pulled me over. I gave him my license and regestration, and come to find out the car wasn't registered. The car wasn't mine, but what I'm trying to get at is did he have any reason to pull me over in the first place? Or was his reasoning because I'm a young girl driving at 10 at night on Labor Day?

American forces are having a hard time dealing with a country the size of Texas (Iraq.)

Do you really think we are in the right position to invade Iran?

Because Iran will not hesitate to press the button.
The Iranian president Ahmadinejad wants to usher in the end of the world.

The world is sitting back and watching Ahmadinejad and Iran arm itself the same way we sat back and watched Adolf Hitler arm his military in 1938.

And the president of Iran already said he wants a modern day Holocaust on the jewish race.
