My husband just left for Iraq. He joined the army against my wishes, and he has hated it personally. It's been terrible for our family. He doesn't believe in the war. I don't believe in the war. I have no friends. No family. My proffessor threatened to flunk me in class because I spent the last week with him and didn't attend lectures which I already understood. People won't listen to me. They don't really care. He's going to be gone for 15-18 months. I can't do it. I want to hurt myself. I want to die. If I starve myself, will they give him back? What if I break both my ankles? What if I make myself sick or try to induce a heart attack? Will they give him back? I'll do anything. I can't stand this. I came from an abusive home and now my husband is gone and I'm alone. I just want him back. I hate this war. I wish my family never got involved in it.

He was talking about those who are retired, or no longer in the service, who are critical of President Bush and his administration's lack of tatical strategy in the Iraq war. Maj. Gen. John Batiste, retired Army and a much experienced and decorated man spoke on MSNBC today and said that the percentage of military personnel who disapprove of Bush and his war is about the same as the whole country...70% against the war.

Bill may have intended to wreck our economy, but stayed moderate. Hillary promises to do so.

Why do liberals think this will be good for our nation?

They are, by law, not allowed to speak contemptuously about the President or participate in partisan political activities while in uniform. I have wondered about this when GI's complain to their friends and families, but never say anything publicly. My nephew is there and hates it, and I'm sure many others do also. I understand the enlistees know this, when they join up, but it does seem to fly in the face of the U S Constitution. Seems hypocritical to me!

TRying to return the government to its rightful self and freedom back to the people by abolishing the 16th amendment that has allowed abuses to run crazy throughout the government. He is the only candidate trying to do this, funny people would rather get Bush out, or a women president that back essential freedoms. IT is crazy people are okay with government giving itself new powers day to day. Why aren't the polls showing Ron Paul in the lead?

sense in the answers given by Christians here, but the answers by Muslims are more reasoned and peaceful. Makes me think that I need to look more closely at Islam, although I am sure in the end that I will reject both religions as nonsense.

In another signal that she’s an open borders proponent, Speaker Pelosi criticized the border fence currently being built. She made these comments as part of her pandering to the Hispanic Engineering, Science & Technology Week conference “I have been against the fence, I thought it’s a bad idea even when it was just a matter of discussion,” said Pelosi, D-Calif. “These are communities where you have a border going through them, they are not communities where you have a fence splitting them.”
In making these comments, Ms. Pelosi is essentially saying that she’s placing a higher priority on not splitting up communities than on enforcing the law. She’s also essentially saying that ‘not splitting up communities’ is a higher priority than closing down the border so we can stop terrorists before they get here.Ms. Pelosi’s pandering shows that Democrats put politics ahead of national security. Simply put, Ms. Pelosi’s panderfest is meant to collect votes. Based on these quotes, it’s obvious that she either doesn’t care about setting intelligent national security policy or she’s willing to deceive Hispanics with her rhetoric while practicing another thing.
That isn’t the only subject on which she pandered:Pelosi also touted legislation known as the DREAM Act that would make it easier for some illegal immigrants to receive higher education benefits. She spoke at a conference that drew more than 5,000 students for activities designed to inspire careers in science and technology.“It just isn’t fair,” Pelosi said. “Those young people who came to America one way or another…their opportunities are curtailed because of the situation. And it’s not only harmful to them; it’s harmful to the country.”Ms. Pelosi wants to talk about what’s fair? Let’s talk fair then. What’s fair about forcing parents, whose burden is stiff enough in sending their own children to college, much less burdening them with additional taxes so illegal immigrants can get the same tuition rates as their children? What’s fair about illegal immigrant children then using that college degree to compete with students who got the lower tuition rates legitimately?

I don’t think that that’s fair at all. I’d bet the ranch that most people across the nation would agree with me.

In 1999, George Herbert Walker Bush officially adopted Bill Clinton as his son.

This is why they are always hanging around together, laughing and having a grand old time. GW Bush even complained that dad spends more time with his "new" son that with GW or Jeb or the rest of the Bush-bloods.

So, since Hillary won't divorce Bill and stand on her own as Hillary Rodham, electing her will effectively continue the Bush family dynasty.

OH NO, you say?

Interesting that Hillary admits she will follow the exact same course of action that GW had planned for Iraq. (She'll say something else, just to get elected. It's cool. The rich elite families know how the game works, gotta please the plebes.) But really, Hillary knows that nothing will change.

And there are even plans for GWH Bush will continue to join Bill on his world ambassador tour. Heck, even Bill's half brother GW can come along. Sure, why not.

It's going to be funny when people realize this is true.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said if he isn’t elected president, the population of African-American males is likely to either wind up in prison or dead.

Do any of you doubt that if any Republican had said the same thing that the libs, the NAACP, Sharpton, and Jackson would already be barking at his front door demanding his/her head?
