Politics & Government - 14 October 2007

My recollection is that Eisenhower and Stevenson were convention picks, of course Truman and FDR were convention picks. It seems like the primary process has been reduced to sound bites and media pundits running the show. How about going to Party Conventions. Maybe they can find another Lincoln rather than the bush league Bush and or the classless Clintons.

Didn't that just prove, again, that Democrtas use various groups of people, or "victims", as props for their efforts to attain more political power?

Ok, I will try to make this long story short. I was married we had a child. He then started to steal my money and use drugs all day. Totally changed and didnt work was a getting trouble with the law and so forth. We did get a divorce. The judge didnt give him any rights to our child because of his history. Now 3 years later his mother wants to see the child. The mother is writing letters to me and there are not nice ones at that. She use to talk to the child then would sneak her father on. Our child now has issues. She holds her self from going to the bathroom everytime she hears their names. I got a letter now stating the the grand mother wants my child to visit her, we do live in diff. states. She has stated she has been around the house and said she will do anything at cost to get her. She calls all the time and wants to talk to the child, the letters dont stop. I want to put a restaining order on her. Will the courts let me? DO we have to appear in court? How does this work?

So I noticed there is a Bullfighting page. Why? IDK. Sounds dumb right? And cruel. Bullfighting is mean. And then I got to thinking.... our governments are wrong in one HUGE thing- our prison system.We have to pay taxes to keep these barbarians fed and the overcrowded jails running. What's more, crime, while it will never stop, never slows down, no matter what we do.

So.... heres the trick!
Lets ban bullfighting, and bring back gladiatorial combat! Bring back the retarius, murmillo, thracian, secutor, hoplomachus, etc. You know, lets free up the overcrowded jails and finish these death-row criminals for good. Maybe now, future-criminals will think " oh sh*t I better not rob that 7/11 or I could end up not trying to get my balls shanked off" I don't believe in second chances with these filth, and if they are convicted of such henious crimes ( like rape- murder), why not make their last moments hell? Maybe we can even introduce modern weapons, you know? Like Tasers and shock battons?

I recently got arrested and charged with minor consumption for blowing a .007 on a breathalyzer. I am supposed to be meeting with my probation officer on Thursday. However I hadn't been drinking, I merely had cough medicine a few hours earlier. I failed to mention this at the time of the arrest (I was pissed off, and a little shook up from the wreck that took place beforehand). Should I fight this and tell the probation officer the truth? I'm afraid they'll wonder why I didn't tell them this when I was arrested... Is it worth it?

When taxes rise they just raise their prices so it us the consumer that pays more taxes and businesses don't.

I read this somewhere and am looking for what you guys think.

Ok. I went to apply for a new job. My background check came back that there was a warrant out for my arrest. I have some unpaid tickets. Where would I begin to get this taken care of without really turning myself in? I want to resolve this but jail time is not an option. Anybody out there know where I should start?
I need some advice please.

I the most pro life, affermative action dispising, stem cell research opposing, tax cut supporting American I know.

But I support gay marriage because I don't think it's the governments business who gets married to who. Gays drive our economy with their purchances of expensive designer clothes, shoes and fragrances.

Thanks to the gays people like me the metro sexual were born and with out gays men would still be wearing dirty old jeans and lumber jack shirts with no color or style.

I am for leagalizing drugs and prostiyution. So we can tax the hell out of these trades and take the money away from the criminals and back to honest Americans.

The US is asking Turkey to show restraint over the issue of Kurdish rebels in Iraq. How can the US ask another country to show restraint when it has resorted to armed conflict in the exact same country?

On their own initiative they prepared several Care Packages, (remembering my time in Desert Storm), but they exhausted all of their funds in making the packages, so they do not have enough to pay the postage.

Is there a source for assisting in the mailing of these items?

Iraq as a sovereign nation never attacked us. 15 of the 19 hijackers on 911 were from Saudi Arabia. There were no allies involved to protect.
