It seems like people's views 4 months ago have changed while some have remained true to their initial choice. Who are you going in for?


It seems to me that it boils down to Rudy, Obama, or Hillary?

What is your angle?

I went to a recruiters office yesterday for the first time and did not tell him about my marijuana use about a week ago. I am enlising in the reserves and still have to take my physical and asvab very soon. If my drug test comes up positive for marijuana, am i finished? or is there a possibility of a waiver? I fully realize that it was a terrible decision and one of which i will never do again.
Thank you all in advance.

I am not convinced that president Bush is even aware that he knows what the ramifications are before he "Decides" what the entire country wants, nor do I think that he is aware of the real damage he is doing to this country.

He has been ignoring the wishes of the American people to live in peacefull harmony with the rest of the world by continuing to wage his "War on Terror" using a "conspiracy theory" that he was told after the fact and has been encouraged, by "trusted friends", to continue for their own political agenda.

The brainwashed fool was placed into his position by a US Supreme Court 5-4 vote in the 2000 presidential election voter fraud.

His history of substance abuse is well known, and therefore has provided opportunities for "trusted friends" to manipulate him for their own gains.

Perhaps he should be made to take a mental health examination in by qualified independant panel of Pyschiatrists similar to the required annual physical health examinations.

That means a STRONG Military, STRONG Economy, and STRONG Families. We are facing many challenges, but America has always overcome these challenges in the past, and I am confident that we can do it again!"

"The report was much weaker than economists were expecting. They were forecasting payrolls to grow by 110,000.
The drop of 4,000 jobs in August was the first decline since August 2003."

The laws in Europe and Canada are like 18 to drink, Prostitution is legal is some parts and showing skin is alright to them. Why Can't the United states lessen its harsh laws, we should have way more freedoms.

If you hit on a guy in a bathroom, you're in big trouble with the law. If you hit on a babe in a bar the worst that can happen is you get your face slapped...or who knows...you might get lucky! Both venues are public places. Now if you actually do get naked in public and begin to seriously fool around I can see a problem, but why is it against the law to ask in the bathroom but not in the barroom?

Check this out:
Ron Paul is the only one that has real solutions to real problems. He cares about the American working man. His plans will help the poor, help the blue collar working man. His plans will ensure rights, freedom and liberty for all of us.

Here is proof:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/about/...

1. Abortion Rights - Pro Life.
"The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle. In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman."

2. Immigration - Against Illegal invasion. Supports secure borders.
"The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked.

My dad just won a huge drawing in a military sponsored event which is played online the grand prize was a brand new 2007 saab. This car is 35,000 bare, but the car comes with everything making it 43,000. (This came at a great time our car just broke down to the point of no return) Now the bad part being in the military we do not make a whole lot of money. The government said because this car is a gift we would have to pay roughly $12,900 in taxes which we cannot afford but we need a car. So were forced to sell this brand new beautiful car. I think its ridiculous that the government says here a chance to win this car and then tax the crap out of it....any other opinions?

I'd like to hear one of them come out and say that the reason that there are so many poor Mexicans migrating here is political corruption in Mexico. I'd like to hear just one of them say that if the Mexican government doesn't get their act together we might just have to engage in a little nation building close to home. The Mexican government is corrupt. The Mexican elite are greedy. They have no reason to do anything, because they know the US will take care of their poor. Well I want to hear a political candidate come out and tell it like it is. Wouldn't you?
