And how many non-binding resolutions were voted on ?

Me remembers -- LOTS !!

So let me ask you something ...... A relatively simple resolution was proposed yesterday by the Republicans . They simply asked for an up or down vote , Yes or No , for a resolution condemning that Moveon.org ad that said 'Petraeus or Betrayus'. .. .. . .despicably because Petraeus hadn't even spoken 1 word yet . Not a word . Result ? -- Dems Blocked Even A Vote!
It's quite important to know where our leaders and candidates stand on the issues . So why would the democrats prevent us from knowing where they stood ?
Why would the 'free speech' democratic party block a vote on something as simple as that ?

At first I thought that the dem candidates refusal to personally condemn Moveon was deplorable , and it is . But now they actually BLOCK a vote on a resolution condemning it ? What ?

I believe this will separate the honest folks from the dishonest folks . This is an American Issue not a partisan issue!

My fiance's work just hired a new team lead, and the very next day he was hired, he left a voicemail on my fiance's phone saying, after consideration, there is no purpose for you to come back in." My fiance said he was just the biggest ******. My fiance called the supervisor (who hired my fiance) and he told him that he never authorized him to do that. So a few days later, my fiance called the supervisor back and said, I'm sorry I can't change his mind. !!!! WtF?!?! So, this is NOT right at all that this guy did this....over a voicemail AND he only has been working there a week now! I want to call both of them in a professional manner but I want to know if there is any legal words that I can use because they should NOT be getting away with this

Four men in Minot suspected of being illegal aliens are being deported.

Kevin Bauman with the Border Patrol in Grand Forks said the men will be sent to Minneapolis, where they will appear before an immigration judge.

The four men were arrested yesterday after reports of a possible vehicle break-in. Police found they actually had locked their keys inside a car.

Officers said the four told them they were from Nicaragua and were living and working at the Sandhills Dairy near Towner. They said they had been in this country for about eight weeks.

Thirteen people were arrested earlier this year at the Sandhills Dairy on charges of being illegal immigrants.

After a tragic accident that killed the mother of my two children my bio son was the only survivor. Since my ex girlfriend had remarried the step father rushed to court saying he did not know my whereabouts although we were both in the hospital beside my son. He lied to the court saying I had not supported my children and did not have a relationship and the 4th District Court allowed him guardianship. The court said he could do this because of my past record. I have always had a good relationship with my children and was up to date on my child support. The step father basically kidnapped my child through the legal system and has done everything he can to keep me from visiting my child. I found out the step is not planning on keeping my son but giving him to his aunt in the future. I do not have a lot of money and have spent over $5000 to fight for my son. I take drug tests every 72 hours to proved I am not on drugs alcohol. I need help with this situation.

George Washington owned slaves?
Alexander Hamilton was a bastard?
Charles Francis Adams, great great great grandson of John Adams was the CEO of Raytheon during the missile build up after World War Two, and a war profiteer no less than Dick Cheney.
Robert Livingston, the man who administered the oath of office to George Washington was the richest man in New York?
The soldiers in the Revolutionary War were ill clothed, ill fed, and short of ammunition and were not even paid all that was entitled to them? How much different from Donald Rumsfeld's famous, "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want".

Best bash wins!

Today my boyfriend got a ticket for parking in a handicap space because his placard had expired. He does legitimately need it as he had very serious back surgery last year and his back does still give him bad pain sometimes. Anyway this morning his back was really hurting and he made the misake of using his expired placard to park at school and got a ticket.

So now I got really scared because I looked on the DMV california website and it says that placard "abuse" is a misdemeanor and you can get a fine of $1000 and up to 6 months in county jail!

But looking on here it seems most people say a handicap ticket is only about $250 and no jail time.

I know its different since he does have a placard compared to someone not having one at all and parking in a space.

Does anyone know how this works?The fine I'm not worried about- we can figure out how to pay it. I'm just really scared about the jail thing. Anyone have experience with something like this?

Thank you.

All a democrat will lose is their cushy job if they lose an election. How can they abandon our troops? They can end this war but they will not. Many democrats voted for this war. What democrats voted for this war? How could they? Did Bush fool them; if so, why vote for the democrats? Why not third party?

I mean the Petraeus seat in congress is not even cold and Bush has already announced he is accepting all it says and following all recommentdations. Strangely enough, even though the report was independent of the white house, Bush and Petraeus both agree that 30,000 surge troops will come back home next summer. Is this just a coincidence or is someone think we are stupid?

I do not wish to cause an international uproar, but the bloke is clearlly off his trolley.
I don't think that George W is too stable either.
It reminds me of student days, when we had too many beers, and came up with grand notions.
I would happilly sit with Osama, and say, " Hold on a tick, lets do a deal"
As for George, I would just say "twit of the first order"
What do you reckon ?

Clinton Executive Order in 1995:
"the Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order"
http://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayeo.cf...

Clinton had no warrant searches and congressional liberals had no constitutional problem with it. They had no outrage when Clinton's executive order actually called for warrantless searches of people and possessions. Clinton's E.O. went far further than what liberals are currently upset about.

Clinton wouldn't need to write the E.O. unless he wanted to do no warrant searches. The searches were used on Americans, and I have no problem with that. American born muslim extremists have been caught in the U.S. with FISA.

Also, liberals fail to realize President Bush has more authority than Clinton to conduct searches. President Bush has "Presidential War Powers" which Clinton did not have.

My husband and I are separating. We've been married 8 years and jointly own our home. If I'm the one to move out first (to an apartment I'm renting on my own), will I be negating any of my share is our house? His preference is that I stay until the house is sold. We are using a mediator, not separate attorneys and I'd love some feed back.

I'm looking for the link to the story that talks about how the Democratic Leadership and Democratic Candidates admitted to being wrong with how they treated Petraeus . You know , the one where they said that they should've let the General speak first , and then make their determination on whether or not they believed him . The link that shows the Democratic Presidential Candidates condemning that Moveon ad because they don't want to have any connection or affiliation with an organization which subverts the integrity of an American 4-Star General before the man even speaks .
Some user told me they were honorable about this and I don't believe that other user . So I need a link .

BTW , democrats blocked a resolution vote calling for condemnation of that ad . 'Blocked' ? Ya mean suppressed free speech ? Can't even talk about it or democratically vote on it ? But democrats always tell me they're pro free speech ?
Yes , they have confused me those little rascals .

Who can help ?

Please think about this question.
Answers that do not reflect individual thoughts and concerns will not be chosen as best.

This is not a question for you to answer if you are simply "towing the party line".

Will your political agenda really help to create the kind of world you see in your dreams?
