Rudy and the rest of the Republicans seem to want to face off against Hillary, as they feel that she is vulnerable. Is this logical coming from someone who has been married three times, once to his cousin. Marched in a gay pride parade, kicked his wife out the mayor's mansion and moved in his mistress, and has switched his stances on abortion and gun control just as much as Hillary has switched her stances on issues. I know if I had those skeletons in my closet, the last person I would want to be facing is the Clinton machine.

I went to traffic court this morning. (Reasons I rather not discuss) Any who, while I was there I noticed that at least HALF or not more of the people in court were illegal immigrants. Most of them were pulled over for not having a license and driving without insurance. What cracked me up was: The judge called one man up and told him that he was charged with driving without a license and auto insurance, and then the judge asked him if he got those things corrected and asked him if he had a license. The guy said "No but in Mexico I do" The judge got furious and said " NO! Do you have a California license?" Obviously, he didn't and the judge slapped a big fine of 600 bucks for no license and no auto insurance. What's sad is that MOST people in the traffic court were in the same predicament like this guy!
I was wondering why the judge can't hand them over to ICE?
What are your thoughts?

I mean, HE did the job for so long and I've lived with him for that long. I'm a GREAT mother, and of course a female.
You'd hire me, right?

Can you see the point I'm trying to make? Everyone I've ever talked when asking why they'd vote for flip flop clinton says 1)she's a woman 2) she's married to bill 3) she's a great mother 4) she stood by bill

I'm trying to figure out how ANY of those things makes her "uniquely qualified" to become President.
Can someone fill me in??

Hearing? what will they do?
The state is taking my ex husband to court for owing 20,000.00 in arrears. (back owed child support) Mind you, 800.00 of it is all interest. He has not paid anything for 2 years. How will this session go? It's an order to show cause and intervention.

He also filed for a motion to MODIFY CHILD SUPPORT "after" he was told he was being told to go to court by them because he owes lots of money and i think he is now scared. but I have yet to get that motion "I do know he filed it though" It's been a month since he filed and hasn't served me yet.

How will the court session go with the hearing officer? Will he be thrown in jail for not paying and set his bail at 20,000?

If the Turks slaughter the Kurds, we will have given them the means to do so and also helped pay for it.

But Turkey has an APPALLING human rights record, denying its people such basic political rights as freedom of expression and freedom from torture.

I am not talking hockey, either.
Is there a checklist, where the more your politics agree with the right, or left, the more conserv or liberal you are?
Or does it have to do with how you refer to the other side? Those that just throw insults toward the other side are considered more right/left wing than those that don't??
Please Help.

Thank You, As Always!!

I'm only 15, so in advance I appologise for being slightly narrow minded, but I really don't see the point of us staying in the EU. I know whenever anyone thinks of immigration on saying the word 'EU,' but its true - for example house prices are rising incredibly. If you allow too many people to come, theres more demand i.e. price goes up.

I'm not some right wing extremist here, but I want to hear your views. Please can you outline the reasons why we should and shouldnt stay in the EU,

Thanks,

PS: please just dont leave ignorant comments without reasoning - I want to know both sides of the bigger picture so try to be objective!!!

Are people losing interest in the Ron Paul Presidential bid? I mean, neither one of his 2 supporters on this site have posted anything about him today.

We've seen the charges, and the responses.

Let's tackle it head-on.

So, why do you think this this belief exists?

Thanks.

My brother is signing up tomorrow. Besides the sign on bonus he told me that his recruiter promised him nice dorm like sleeping quarters, discounts on Nikes, game rooms, a wealth of new friends, and the list goes on. He also made it sound like going over seas is a fun vacation when in reality he will be in a WAR. What do recruiters say to get our young boys and girls to sign up and how do you feel about the tactics they use?
