My views have certainly changed.

Hillary Clinton: I was never a big fan of hers, but I didn’t understand why she was so disliked either. Now I do… All the other democratic candidates that voted yes to Iran, admitted that it was a mistake… Mrs. Clinton, voted yes but did not say anything... After the failure we had in Iraq, don’t you think you’d consider these things before you vote YES to Bush’s resolution that would enable the first steps to go to war with Iran? Mike Gravel called her out on it.. I understand many people feel that Iran is a threat, but after the lesson we learned in Iraq, the other candidates suggested that we need to go about it another way and our economy cannot take another war… Not to mention she can’t answer hypothetical questions

Barack Obama: I thought he was the biggest disappointment of the night, I’ve already researched his voting record and found that his ideas of “change” conflict with each other. He didn’t even bother to show up to vote on the Iran resolution, How are you going to change things when you don’t vote? And this is not the first time this has happened.. I feel like he dodges these things so he can avoid the hard questions.. There is nothing “progressive” about this candidate, one who voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act.. One who anytime you ask a question either blames the problems on this administration or just sells the idea of “change and freedom” He can’t even answer a question directly..

-Not to mention both of them cannot even clarify that we would have troops out by 2013, SIX YEARS LATER!! Or even by their second term… I understand that it will take time… but all the other candidates like Biden outlined a proper strategy, which neither Barack or Hillary could do… They gave unclear answers to almost any question they were asked, like social security…

I was extremely disappointed and I don’t understand how these two can manage to be the top tier candidates…

In order to end the liberal media bias should we establish a Truth Agency as part of the executive branch to review and correct all reporting and advertising? For example, they could have changed "General Betray Us" to "General, Hoo-Ray U.S. !!" and avoided a lot of unnecessary anxiety amongst the citizens.

It seems that those who beleive in government redistribution of income are the least likely to dig into their own wallets to help others.

According to congressional records, the Iraq war is costing the US upwards of *two trillion dollars* & rising every second. Which makes me wonder how much, aside from thousands of lives, is the war costing the Iraqis? How can they afford it? Is their government richer than ours? What are your thoughts on this?

I found this to be disturbing, so I thought that I would ask everyone what their opinion is:
______________________________________
I asked this young man who he likes for president. This will be his first presidential election (he's 20). He said he will vote for Hillary Clinton. I asked him why.

He said, "Well its not that I really have much of an opinion on her policies and I really don't have anything against any of the other candidates, I just want to be able to say that I was part of the first woman ever to be elected president of the United States."
_______________________________________
could this _possibly_ be typical of a Clinton supporter?

Hi there, I have long been interested in starting up my own security company after completing military service. This would work on a contractual basis (for instance, a research and development establishment would offer a contract to guard and protect it's property and assets).

I would aim to recruit primarily ex-military personnel, but would of course consider applications from ex-armed police officers etc etc. My question is, are any such private security personnel, working in the UK itself, allowed to be armed, given our civilina gun laws?

Thanks!

I am no fan of President Bush but believe that 9/11 gave him the opportunity to go down as one the best presidents in history if he would of done things differently. The country was united stronger than ever then and his approval rating was through the roof.
Your thoughts?

Give me hints and ways to find out so that I know for sure, because a female called me and told me that she had phone sex with him 3 weeks ago. I want to end this once and for all. He denied it up and down, back and forth, although he looked very scared and guilty. lol! I was upset but now Im calming down. I cannot invest any of my emotion and time into a rat bastard who is going to be rubbing one out, everytime Im not there (we don't live together). He has a bird, I wish it was a parrot, maybe the parrot would tell me.. damn!

Any spy programs ANYTHING so that I can track him? I want to collect evidence and when he lies to me again, I will show him the evidence and he can stfu and stop denying it.

He's just got one more chance, and then he's history!!!

Please help with ideas, Im serious, no jokes, I need to know the best way to catch him at his own BS!

Native American and Spanish people generally arent short, and these are the two ethnic groups of people that Mexicans came from. So, how did Mexicans end up being so much shorter than them?

"In my opinion, H.R. 2640 is a flagrantly unconstitutional expansion of restriction on the exercise of the right to bear arms protected under the Second Amendment," he said. "H.R. 2640 also seriously undermines the privacy rights of all Americans – gun owners and non-gun owners alike – by creating and expanding massive federal government databases, including medical and other private records of every American."
Someone in counseling during a bitter divorce, a child who at one point gets into a scrape on a school yard and is put on Ritalin, or even someone given "counseling" for issues such as depression during recovery from an accident or work-related injury are some other situations that could trigger such "disarmament by diagnosis," he said.

Political correctness is there to help the minorities and treat them fairly, but is it infact breading hatred amongst the majorities. It seems now that if you are a minority you can say and do as you please the same can not be said of the majority of people in this country. Take for example the Slovakian woman who beat a ten year old boy half to death, the police are charging the ten year old with race hate crime,for allegedly shouting get back to your own country! has anyone heared of anything so idiotic! What is this country coming to?

When you see the leader of the so-called opposition calling his fellow opposition MPs to their feet to applaud an outgoing Labour Prime Minister.
When Tory MPs are told not to make things difficult for their opposites and the instructions come from the Tory whips.
When the Tory leader clearly states he wants to become the new Tony Blair.
When Gordon Brown invites Tories and Lib Dems to join his team of advisers and they willingly do so.
When Judges make proposals to change the law in line with the governments thinking and make ridiculous judgements in favour of government.
Aren't we by definition a one-party police state and no better than the old USSR?

I need to get a medical marijuana recommendation and/or prescription from a licensed physician. I have chronic pain and depression, both as a result of being a veteran, and am a poor student who cannot afford to buy 420 on the street. My injuries have already been verified by the VA and am currently receiving benefits however I have been using Vicodin which is rather unhealthy after long periods of time so I wish to use something less hazardous and more effective. I am a veteran but I do not know if I can take care of this at the Veterans hospital or if I should see a private physician, and which physician. I am located in Los Angeles, Ca and served four years of active duty and three tours in the Middle East. Any advice?

An imminent vote in the Senate could save the lives of many Iraqi families at risk.
In a recent memo, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker said the United States must act more quickly to help desperate Iraqi refugees find safety – "Iraqis who have put themselves and their families at risk by working with us."
Due to the current crisis, approximately 2,000 Iraqis are forced to flee their homes every day. More than 2.2 million Iraqis have already fled to neighboring countries. Jordan has closed its borders and Syria plans to next month. Soon, Iraqis threatened with death will literally have no way to flee.
The U.S. promised to admit 7,000 Iraqis between October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007. To date, only 719 have been allowed to enter. Fortunately, there is a bipartisan amendment in the Senate that will help bring some of these Iraqis - and other vulnerable Iraqi refugees - to safety in the United States.
