And then let's talk about Halliburton... ok?

Next in the alphabet is the non-issue of Hsu.

Did Hsu win all the contracts on Californias energy?
Did Hsu win all the contracts on New Orleans for their support?
Did Hsu win all the contracts on Iraq?

I think not... but lets see what you have to say...

I got into a fight with this kid and got my tooth chipped from it. Subsequently, I came home and lied to my parents and told them that this other kid, Erik (not his real name) did it, so my padres called the cops and I told them the lie.

Eventually, one of my boys admitted that we lied and made it up and subsequently, I recanted my story.

My question is, would there be any record with the police or anyone about a fourth grader 15 years ago lying to the police regarding something like this?

If so, can you tell me what the record of leadership is for any of the Presidential candidates?

My 82 year old grandma with Alzheimers and dimensia can vote yes or no on issues, just like any Senator or Congressman. What record of leadership does Thompson or Clinton or any of the others have? What bills did they write and fight to get passed to solve American problems?

You get the idea. What's their Leadership Record?

As a OIF Veteran I constantly ask myself this.

Now obviously if you are old, or have a disability then ok you can't go and fight.

But if you are young and able bodied, and believe we have to fight them over there so we don't fight them over here then why aren't you over there?

I talk to ALOT of young men and women that believe in this war whole heartedly, but when I ask if they would go and fight they tell me no.

I just don't get it. I don't really support the war but I fought it. So why do people that can do their part
(and I don't mean putting a support our troops magnet on the car)

But if they are able to help (and we need all the help we can get) and they are such voracious supporters of this war then why not give the help that is REALLY needed?

I really am curious

"LOS ALAMOS, N.M. — Three illegal immigrants who used fake documents to try to get badges that would let them work on a construction job at Los Alamos National Laboratory have been turned over to federal immigrant agents.

Security officers were suspicious of documents presented to the lab's badge office Wednesday by the three men from Mexico, and faxed the documents to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Albuquerque.

ICE officials confirmed that the documents presented by the men were false. Lab security officers contacted local police, who escorted the trio off lab property and held them for immigration authorities.

Police said it's a federal offense to falsify identity to federal agencies."

What do you think?

And is it wrong to call Bill Clinton the devil? Has anyone read her autobiography? Remember when she spoke about being bewildered and how she couldn't believe that Bill was slipping it to Monica? Does anyone believe she was surprised? He'd been doing that crap for years! Don't you think she stayed with him more for the political power then any other reason? Seriously, you don't think they actually SLEEP together, do you? Have you seen the chicks he slept with? If you're going to the barn for your side dishes, the main course must REALLY stink.

........in comparison to the 60's and 70's era. Do you think this generation could cares less about this country and what goes on? Most young adults my age aren't interested in politics and government nor are they interested in current events. What has happened?

What are your thoughts?

There was no written contract (it was an amiable agreement)- and the bank records stop seven years ago. The borrower denies ever having gotten the money but the lender is sure they lent it.

Iran may be dueling with Washington over its nuclear ambitions, but when the country desperately needed corn last month, it turned to the United States.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has made no secret of his disdain for U.S. President George W. Bush, calling him a donkey and even Satan, but when millers in Caracas need wheat to make bread, they go shopping for American supplies.

Nations like Iran, Venezuela, Syria and Cuba have icy diplomatic ties with Washington but they do not let politics stand in the way of importing competitively-priced food or feed ingredients from the United States.

Maybe we should let them starve, or in the case of Venesulea, trade them a pound of wheat for a pound of oil.

the 2nd amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms, and most of this is done, nowadays, for protection (you see Hillary Clinton preaching to us about how guns are bad, but you can be sure an armed body guard follows her around wherever she goes). The few who do use guns as a weapon for spite are criminals, and believe me on this-- if somebody REALLY wants to get possession of a gun, they're gonna... so that means that the 'bad guy' has a gun, and guess what? the citizen who is the potential victim no longer does!

He is going to tell us that we need to form a permanent security pact with the Iraqis. Right now we are building, in Baghdad, the largest embassy that we have ever built. Before Bush leaves office, he will have put into motion plans and commitments that may be almost impossible for the next President to change. At least it seems to be shaping up that way. Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, does the fact that we will obviously remain in Iraq as an occupying force change your opinion about what we are doing in Iraq? How do you think the Middle East as a whole is going to react to this? What does this mean for the next President, no matter which party they hail from?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An ad criticizing the top U.S. general in Iraq raised charges on Thursday that The New York Times slashed its advertising rates for political reasons -- an accusation denied by the paper.

The ad by liberal anti-war group moveon.org ran on Monday, the day of Gen. David Petraeus's testimony to Congress about the war and how long U.S. forces will stay in Iraq.

Moveon.org confirmed it paid $65,000 for the full page ad headlined "General Petraeus or General Betray Us."

Just watched a horrible report on BBC News showing tiny children starving to death and dying through lack of medical care in Zimbabwe. Their fathers being beaten by soldiers when they queue for bread to try and feed them.

Why the hell lis this allowed to happen and when are the US and UK going to oust this tyrant Mugabe the same way they ousted Saddam Hussein?

As an example, why do liberals who hate Bush insist on hating him for being a racist, despite the fact that he has more minorities in his white house than Clinton? Or why do so many conservatives insist on believing all the lies about the war in Iraq despite all the evidence to the contrary? This is not a partisan question, I think everyone is guilty of this.

After that I would be able to come back to MTSU to finish my college degree. Is this true?
