Alright so we can all agree that the issue of illegal immigration is important to most Americans right?

Maybe not the most important but at least 2nd or 3rd right?

So why do 3 of the top 4 presidential candidates support some form of pathway to citizenship or guest worker program for illegal immigrants (Clinton, Giuliani, Obama)?

And on the flip side why are the hard liners against it (Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo) all polling at 3% or less nationally?

Why is it that every single Democratic canidate and 3 of the Republican ones (McCain, Guiliani, Huckabee) are pro-comprehensive immigration reform?

Just some food for thought in a very one sided forum.... :)

I remember hearing that the chain of command in Europe was under investigation for forcing or forging soldiers to vote Republican during the first G.W. Bush vote. If so what was the outcome and why was this not televised enough?

I've heard this mostly in historical films used.

They would say something like, "The enemy has 1000 crack rifles facing against us" or "They were attacked by crack troops of the 4th division" something like that.

What does this term mean exactly?

Thank you.

Of course I do mean to be properly trained in its use...

We all have to admit if a teacher was armed at the VT event many lives could have been saved...
but how many more problems would arise?

your thoughts?

The main point i would like to make is that our government is not acting on the same principles established by our founding fathers. Sometimes i think about what George Washington, James Madison, and the rest of the great heroes who sacrificed their lives to make a great country for us today would think about us and our government.

In my eyes freedom of speech dosent exist anymore. The government will do anything to shut the people out rather than let the people have the voice the country. Please tell me what you think of America today and what we may have to suffer in the near future. If we continue to act as we do now America has 20 years at most until collapsing. How can we make America what it is meant to be.

you may enjoy this also.

I am a moderate democrat that loves his country and miltary service. I support all my military brothers and sisters but find it hard to be a moderate in the military. The military only sees the money it gets from republicans instead of the future of military. Yes I mean the quigmire in Iraq.
No I do not support homosexuals in the military and not all Democrats are liberal pro homosexuals trying to bring down "good old fashioned values".
So how can I talk to extreme right wing brainwashed miltary folk who only see dollars.

I watched the video (in it's entirety) of the Florida college student getting tasered when he finished asking John Kerry a question. Kerry was responding to the question when the man was hauled off. Kerry did not stand up for the mans right to free speech. I am unaware of a time limit to questions. The female officer was constantly interupting the mans questions. What is your opinion?

In my science class, we are having a debate, and I was put onto the team that is supposed to argue for science NOT having to be regulated. Seeing as how I do not agree with what I am supposed to argue for, I need some reasons as to why science should not be regulated. If you have any news articles, or anything else to back up your reasoning, please share it.

Why would the remains of ANY hijacked plane be classified as "Secret" even from members of congress?

It's been 6 years and those remains are still off limits!

Why?

There is a huge debate in this country on what is the acceptable amount of power the government should have to eavesdrop/surveill the American public. (Wire taps, email, etc) If you were president, what level of survellance would you want to allow intelligence/law enforcement agencies to have on its citizens? As always, I ask everyone keep this debate civil and respect each others comments and beliefs. Thanks.

Is there such thing as compensation for people "Mentally Unfit for the Workplace"?
(This was in a realistic fiction novel I was reading, which is why I phrase it this way, as it was in the book)

If there isn't anything that draws immediate reconition, is there any form of government payment to those with possibly violent personality disorders to "keep them out" of the workplace?

I recently saw a news report about how in nyc the mayor is making a new welfare program, where kids would be paid to graduate from highschool, go to their annual doctor physicals go to dentist etc. This would be for low income familys, and the mayor claimed he is paying for all of it, so no tax dollars are used. I personaly think this a good idea, welfare is already givin to most low income familys for doing nothing, atleast with this program people would have to accomplish something before they get any money. If nothing else it would possibly motivate kids to stay in school and motivate parents to keep their kids in school. Also alot of kids in these areas of poverty are surrounded by negitive infulences such as gangs and drugs and their older siblings and parents allot of the time feel neglected by the system now the system is giving them a little bit back out of THEIR pocket not the tax payers, Remember these are just thoughts not neccesiarly my solid opinion so no need to insult me

John Kerry should be ashamed of himself. Kerry's staff clearly signaled the cop to taser this student. John Kerry not only lost an election to George W Bush which even a donkey could have won. Now Kerry is coming back from the grave to screw up democrat's chances.

What do you think?
