The biased moderators of Fox News asked what Ron Paul would do in the midst of the bloodbath that is certain to occur in Iraq if the United States was to leave. USAElectionPolls.com says that the wording of the question was biased.

When Ron Paul says that they do not want us in Iraq, the commentator asked Ron Paul if he plans on taking his marching orders from Al Qaeda and Ron Paul replies as strong as ever "No!". He goes on to state that he will take his marching orders from the Constitution.

USAElectionPolls.com has recently published a report on the biased coverage of Ron Paul on Fox News. Commenters have already begun to critique it by saying that bias is even stronger than the web site's report states.

Sounds like a good campaign slogan to me.

Have you ever considered you are paying the wrong price! I for one would rather live free! Free of oppression, free from fear, free, free, free! If I were to die from a terrorist attack tomorrow, no one would need to feel for me for I lived and died a free man! I would rather die free than live a long life of fear any day. This is the true price of freedom. Not fear, not fight them there so we don't have to fight them here... but that you could die any day because you are free. If we aren't willing to pay that price.. then we do not deserve freedom at all.

I was hired for a reputable cell phone carrier and have been here 2 years and 4 months. Though I love my job and love the company I often wonder...

A few weeks ago I was asked by my regional to REMOVE my piercings and cover my tattoos.... I have my tongue nose and ears pierced. The tattoos I do have are not visable so covering them has never been a problem. But when its 95+ degrees outside I think its time to wear pedal pushers and I have a tattoo on my ankle.

So after being told "there comes a time in everyones life that we need to grow up" I took very little of that into consideration I am 25 years old live alone, pay my own bills and support myself and I dont think having tattoos or piercings makes me immature.

I did though, get a clear barbell for my tongue since it "offends" customers.

Here is the catcher... I am number 10 in my district of 250+ sales reps... my numbers should speak for themself that I obviously have no problem with my numbers or my sales skills.

I've heard some Bush defenders here say that if we don't have anything to hide, we shouldn't be bothered by domestic spying. Call me crazy, but I think that what I do in the privacy of my own home, car, phone, and e-mail account is my business and no one else's. If the government disagrees, then they'd damned well better get a warrant!

The Anbar region is more peaceful, admits Senator Schumer. But he says the reason is the US military is failing, so the locals are going it alone.

The question, was there going to be a scenario that Senator Schumer thought was successful? I realize if the fighting got worse, he would say it is a failure. But for it to be more peaceful and that is a result of failure, I don't get it. Please explain.

Poorly maintained Mexican trucks with no pollution controls are now on our nation's highways.


It seems to be only liberals, e.g. unions, Sierra Club, etc., who are defending America against this latest threat.


They pose a threat to highway safety, they increase our pollution, and they open another loophole for terrorists to potentially enter the country.

WHY IS THE GOP PUTTING THE PROFIT MARGIN OF IT'S CORPORATE SPONSORS AHEAD OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE USA?

Hi,

I was offered a job on Tuesday by a temping agency who saw my cv on the net. They explained to me that the temp they had in there had suddenly withdrawn and they needed someone quick.

I told them that I am disabled and suddenly the offer was withdrawn. They said that they had just remembered that they needed to check with the firm that they still needed a replacement and they would call me back. As you can imagine, they didn’t call me back.

As you can guess, I have been fuming about this for a few days, which has delayed me posting this question, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me, are their actions legal?

To me it seems as though they are discriminating against me because I am disabled. What do you think? If it is discrimination and it is illegal, is there anything I can do?

Thanks

Also, I have 2 petitions on the net about discrimination against disabled people. Would you be kind enough to take a look and consider signing them.

I keep hearing all the rhetoric from the Left, but I know several people (including myself) who simply went out and started a business. Success is all about hard work. What gives?

You can make as much money as you want. No one is there to stop you (except the IRS).

Presidential candidate Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo, blasted comments this week by Mexican president Felipe Calderon (pictured).

Calderon said at his State of the Union speech Sunday that he would continue to protest “unilateral actions” of the U.S. Congress that “exacerbate the persecution” of Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States. He also said that Mexico does not end at the border because “where there is a Mexican. There is Mexico.”

In a statement, Tancredo quipped: “Indeed part of Mexico is moving into the United States, but unfortunately that includes drug runners, gang violence and the Spanish language supplanting English.”

The lawmaker, famous for his tough stance against illegal immigration, added: “I’m sure the people of Mexico would be extremely grateful if Calderon showed as much concern over the well being of Mexicans unlucky enough to still live there as he does for the people who have successfully fled his country.”http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/immigration/entries/2007/09/05/tancredo_mexican_drug_runners.html

Over the years other recipients of Hsu donations have included Sens. Dianne Feinstein, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Edward Kennedy.

Hsu's lawyer confirmed today that his client was the one involved in the California case but said he did not remember pleading to a criminal case nor facing jail time.

"He is a fugitive," said Ronald Smetana of the California attorney general's office. "Do you know where he is?"
