What is your party affiliation?

What was the party of the president when you graduated high school(or during the end of your high school years if graduation cuts too close to an election year)?

I have this semi-theory that most people are the opposite party of the one that was in power when they were in high school because of rebellion. I don't think the rebellion is on purpose but I think in the back of our minds we don't like the way the world is when any of us hit our late teens and unconsciously blame our president and their party.

Wasn't that the whole idea to set them to show whether or not the right progress was being made and supposed to be strictly adhered to. Why do they waste taxpayers money on phoney political theatre.

The state is California. Police questioned someone over the phone involving a case but did not tell the person they were being recorded until after the entire conversation. Is this legal? I know about if you are being interrogated but what about when they are just investigationg and it is questioning over the phone...?

I heard that Hillary Clinton has NEVER attended a 9/11 fundraising event! While Giuliani has attended a ton of the fundraising events. Other politicians have too.

So does Hillary Clinton really care about Americans or is she in "it' for the fame and glory????? I am believing it's the latter!

so many national guard troops , and the length of deployments and the fact that we had a known army as the enemy in iraq. we were told that wmd were there, and they were not, then it was to get sadaam out , and then al qaida. are the so called police actions more profitable and convenient? i hear from the right "we are at war" , however , our congress (the people) declare war . it is a war of choice , we went in when we want it , how we want it , and where we want it . i would like to know what percent of the foot soldiers ( the ones at danger) belong to what social class? any ivy league , politician's children , wealthy family? well, how many small companies have overprofited from this war? our sons daughters go in for an ideal , that sadly is for misguided intentions of power and wealth of a few . is george bush "ceasar"? he would send the legions to conquer when things did not look so good for him in the senate and rome . well, we should say "hail to ceasar , mr president" !

Many people on here, like me, are sick and tired of people claiming the Patriot Act is a huge attack on our personal rights. So, which rights have we lost exactly? Cause I personally have not been affected by them. I don't talk to terrorists on my phone nor am I an enemy combatant fighting against our military personal.

So please, explain this to me, cause I guess I'm just ignorant.

Did you watch the speech?
I skipped it. (I'm in a fairly good mood too.) :)
Are people liking it?

Any golden nuggets?
Anything maybe you didn't expect that now maybe doesn't seem so bad?

If you disagree(d) with him, do you feel he is listening to you and the rest of America a little better?

Does he have the magic faith? The magic confidence that will save us in time?

Maybe he Sounded good? You liked his tone? He sounded a little more sensibly-spoken? Or that he really worked on getting himself to sound mature, sensible tone.. like I saw him do at least once or twice(around March 2005) ?

Do you think Gore and Kerry could have done any better with 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq? Wonder what their approval rating would be about now? How many of you BUSH haters would be blasting them also? I would say about 99 percent although I am sure the Liberals and others will say they would have supported them. Welcome to Fantasyland!

Truth is no one, not even Bush, could have handled this situation right because it was "unknown" territory. The man will be gone in a year..LET IT GO ALREADY. Soon you can start "hating" on the new President. Thanks and have a great day!

It seems that no matter what President Bush says in his addresses, the democratic congress is armed with dissent. Is there anything they can agree on?
