Is there any concrete reason why Iran's president has to be rejected in the U.S? At least he hasn't invaded other countries with lame excuses like Bush has...All he is doing is looking out for the right Iran has of Nuclear Power ( they have even allowed U.N. inspectors to search for weapons, and like Irak, nothing has been found )

Why can't they have nuclear power but Israel can??? If they don't believe in Israel ( like the entire region ) let them have their problem, and not have Israel's ***** ( U.S. ) keep protecting a country they should have created with their own land.

Bush is just desperately looking for a new war that will make ppl forget his stupid mistakes of Afghanistan and Irak and try to look for another AXIS OF EVIL before he leaves office as the failed moron he is....

There are over 180,000 soldiers from private organizations like Blackwater in Iraq. I watched an interview with a guy thet wrote a book on it, and he says that the reason why Blackwater was not pulled from Iraq after the shooting incident was because the situation would fall apart without the additional support. He also claimed that the problem with Blackwater is that because it is not associated with a country, it is not held to the same laws and rules of engagement as the regular military, which makes them accountable to nobody.

there seems to be attempt by some to blur the lines between the two. Please tell us the difference between a legal law abiding immigrant as the USA has been built on, and an illegal non-law abiding alien.

And do you think that the result would soon be the pre-Reagan level of unemployment and either a depression or high inflation, depending on how the Fed were to react?

Someone told me that information about the car targeted is also recorded (serial number, model, etc). That would mean that vehicles are equipped with RFID cards which I think is highly unlikely ... but then again, who knows! ... My point exactly, who knows? An answer from someone in law enforcement or someone who uses this type of equipment would carry a lot of weight here!

Thanks!

What if some President fabricated a vast number of lies about a false threat posed by some country thousands of miles away from America?

And used these lies to try and convince Americans that it was urgent for them to join the military and kill people in this other country, and spend trillions of tax dollars on an endless war against them.

And then suppose the American people said - "no, screw you, we know the truth" - and simply refused to fight?

We have a commission now that recommends the closing of military bases. very couple of years a bi-partisan commission recommends a list of bases to Congress that are no longer useful or needed. Congress votes on that list as a whole------they cannot remove bases from the list------either all the bases recommended for closure are closed or none of them are. This keeps congressmen and senators from trying to keep bases in their districts open even thought they have been recommended for closure.

Why don't we do the same for government programs? Every couple of years a bi-partisan commission recommends to Congress a list of government programs that they deem are no longer needed or are duplications of other programs. Congress votes on eliminating those programs on the list----and none of them can be removed from the list. Either all the programs on the list go----or none of them do.

You and your family are in danger (they may have a weapon of some kind) Would it be acceptable to use a weapon such as a knife etc on them?

Personally I wouldn't stop to see if they had a weapon I would hit them hard in the head with my hatchet or machete.

I'm 50 years old. I've been invested in the stock market before the DJI30 reached 2,000. I invested in Wal-Mart, IBM, Apple, Microsoft and Home Depot when they became IPO's.

Life's been good. I have no debts, I own my home.

I only work because I need health care to protect my health and wealth.

If Hillary guarantees health care, I'm thinking about quiting work and signing on with her plan.

And since I won't have an income, I would technically be poor, so my health care should be free.

This will give me more time to do those things I've always wanted to at home, and give me more time to see my doctor to get those little things taken care of, those things I don't want to spend my money on.

How many other close to retirement people plan to take advantage of the tax payers charity and quit work as I do?

And do you see any disadvantages to this plan?

"The health care fund -- known as a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association, or VEBA -- would be a groundbreaking change for the auto industry and has been the major issue in this year's negotiations. GM has around $51 billion in unfunded retiree health care costs but the company isn't required to put the full amount into the VEBA. The UAW and GM have been wrangling over how much GM should put in and how much can be paid in cash or in stock.

GM, which has about 339,000 UAW retirees and spouses, badly wants to pay the union to form the VEBA to get the health care liabilities off its books. In exchange, the UAW was expected to ask for future work guarantees at its U.S. plants"

The problem with USA primaries is that when the primary reach the last group of States, the people of those States are down to just 2 to 3 choices. All other candidates have dropped out.

If Liberals reasoned the way they did back in the days of President Kennedy?
Kennedy believed that, "An economy hampered by restrictivfe tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance our budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits."
In those days Democrats were for tax cuts. More than 80% of Democratic senators voted for Kennedy's tax cuts.

My husband is re-enlisting in the Army, and I wondered if our ferret is welcome on post. What if we are assigned to California where they are illegal? Will they move him with us if we are assigned overseas or to Alaska or Hawaii? Note that we are talking about a domestic ferret here, not a wild one.

A policeman pulled me over for making an illegal u-turn. I honestly didn't see the no u-turn sign. I gave the officer my license, insurance, and registration.

He obviously saw that I have a spotless driving record for over 20 years. Instead of giving me a $125 ticket for an illegal u-turn, he gave me a ticket for $7.50 and cited me for not having a registration card.

I am not complaining that he gave me such a big break. I am very grateful that he did, and this won't add any points to my license. I am wondering if what he did was legal? He knowingly gave me a ticket for no registration when I actually gave him one?
