Politics & Government - 4 October 2007

Question Details: but they have no intrest in securing their own Country. Maybe it's me, but I just find this ironic. I don't know w whole lot about the Blackwater incident, but I do know that the Iraqi Government seems to be dragging behind on their role in re-forming their own Government. Seems to me they are more interested in prosecuting the people who are the only ones securing their country right now. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...

We know lefties looooooooooooves phoney soliders! They also looooooooooves propaganda. though i'm not a fan of hush bimbo, his recent spat with the lefties over his comments 'phoney soldiers', is proof of how much the left loves these guys! they'll go to the extent of issuing a senate censure!
why do lefties love phoney soldiers but hate the military?
As Ann Coulter points out in her infinite brilliance " If we are to believe the self-descriptions of callers to talk radio and the typical soldier interviewed on MSNBC, the military is fairly bristling with Moveon.org types.According to a Military Times survey taken in September 2004, active-duty military personnel preferred President Bush to Kerry by about 73 percent to 18 percent. Sixty percent describe themselves as Republican and less than 10 percent call themselves Democrat (the same 10 percent that MSNBC has on its speed-dial). Even among the veterans, Republicans outnumber Democrats 46 percent to 22 percent."

Harry Reid (on "the surge"):
Now I believe, myself, that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows: that this war is lost, that the surge is not accomplishing anything.

Dick Durbin (on Guantanamo):
If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

Hillary Clinton (to General Petraeus):
[T]oday you are testifying about the current status of our policy in Iraq and the prospects of that policy. It is a policy that you have been ordered to implement by the president. And you have been made the de facto spokesmen for what many of us believe to be a failed policy.
Despite what I view as your rather extraordinary efforts in your testimony both yesterday and today, I think that the reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.
John Kerry:
Education -- if you make the most of it and you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well," said Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat. "If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Charles Schumer (on "the surge"):
[L]et me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda said to these tribes we have to fight al Qaeda ourselves. It wasn’t that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here.

Charles Rangel:
If there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it. No young, bright individual wants to fight just because of a bonus and just because of educational benefits. And most all of them come from communities of very, very high unemployment. If a young fellow has an option of having a decent career or joining the Army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq.

John Murtha (on Haditha):
It's much worse than reported in Time magazine. There was no fire fight. There was no IED that killed these innocent people. Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood. And that's what the report is going to tell.

Now, you can imagine the impact this is going to have on those troops for the rest of their lives and for the United States in our war and our effort in trying to win the hearts and minds.

Edward Kennedy: Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management.
John Kerry:
And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- the historical customs, religious customs.

Barack Obama:
We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.
Harry Reid:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid confirmed Thursday that he told liberal bloggers last week that he thinks outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Peter Pace is "incompetent."

Does it matter which party the president is?

I'm thinking of Clinton in Bosnia, and Bush in Iraq.

Are Americans just TIRED of hearing how horrible our country is from the so-called elite?

No, this country is not perfect, but it seems that the liberal media takes pleasure in degrading this great nation.

When will libs understand that fair news does not equate to anti-American news?

I know cons are in a frenzy complaining they raised the income limit too high for eligible children, but wouldn't any money being saved from a family obtaining this benefit just be injected right back into the economy with more spending? Example, family "A" currently spends $10k per year in health coverage, now they are covered by a federal program, now they have an extra $10k to spend on clothes, appliances, down payment on a car, whatever. That means more profits for those companies, they report more tax, which means more revenue to the government and we are back to square 1. It appears to me that in the end, this turns out to be an allocation of revenues from the greedy and corrupt insurance companies to a whole assortment of other businesses, and with the comfort that more children will be insured by health coverage. Doesn't sound so bad to me. Thoughts?

Yet they gladly stifle the flow of information on this website by rampant censoring on an astronomical epidemic level and suspension of accounts.

Are the people that run this place schizophrenic or just hypocrites?

Here I am again, trying to get some answers. I think I need a new lawyer. He basically said there is nothing I can do. I was rear-ended by a motorcylist who was exceeding the speed limit by 3 times. His policy limits don't begin to reach how much my medical bills are. Is there anyone else I can get the money from? He passed at the scene by the way so I can't sue him of course. To my knowledge he had a fiance he named beneficary but I don't know what that included. Could I go after that? Or possible sue the insurance company? I "heard...here-say of course but if it were true" I heard this guy had a history of wrekcless driving, totaled a motorcyle before..could insurance company be held liable for more than the policy limits? It's just not fair that I was minding my own business & I am having to pay for all of this!! Do I have any options? Thanks.

When women go to the Doctor, do they say " You have a series, or "cluster" of cells growing inside you?
Or do they tell you you're pregnant?
Then what are you pregnant with? A baby, or a cluster of cells?
Is what you are carrying inside you vary depending upon if you want to keep it or not?


Thank You, as always!!
