Nothing tangibly good to show for 8 years in office except continual war mongering.... Is that what the Bushcos wanted from their man?

I really would like to hear true, common sense, no bullsh*t answers to these questions? Please don't waste either of our time with propaganda crap. Tell me the real reasons you believe in these issues



1. Why is abortion of an innocent life okay, but the death penalty for a convicted murderer isn't? Please view mttu.com and look at what I'm referring to if you want to argue the merits of "life".

2. Why do you believe Al Qaeda isn't in Iraq if they keep claiming to be?

3. With Al Qaeda claiming to be in Iraq, why shouldn't we fight them there?

4. Why do you think Christians are evil, but Muslims are just misunderstood?

5. Why do you claim to be opponents of free speech, but then try stopping "talk" radio from expressing their views in an open market?

6. Since most liberals agree with the "Fairness Doctrine", please explain how that isn't censorship?

7. If you were right and the war was over oil, then why do you drive cars with bumper stickers that say "No Blood for Oil"? For that matter, why would you use anything that uses oil? That would include rubber tires, oil, grease, gasoline, turpentine, plastic, tar, public buses, or anything else that uses oil. Wouldn't you have blood on your hands if you truly believe this?

"Dumond - now dead - was paroled from an Arkansas prison, with then- governor Huckabee’s endorsement, only to sexually assault and kill a woman in Missouri.

Dumond’s case is notorious in Arkansas. In 1984, he raped a 17-year-old girl. While awaiting trial at his home, he was castrated by, he said, masked intruders. Later, after Dumond went to prison for life, some people in Arkansas saw the sentence as excessive, especially given his mutilation.

Huckabee was one, and, after becoming governor in 1996, he announced his desire to commute Dumond’s sentence. Dumond’s rape victim, Ashley Stevens, saw it differently.

Stevens, now 40 and living in the western United States, said she tried to persuade Huckabee not to shorten the sentence for Dumond.

“I told [Huckabee]: If you ever let him out, he’s going to do it again,” she said in an interview.

She was able to get a meeting with the governor - who, she said, had not spoken to her before announcing his intention to commute Dumond’s sentence - but realized Huckabee had “made up his mind.” So Stevens stood up, she said, walked over to Huckabee, who was seated on a sofa, squatted down and thrust her face inches from his.

“I said, ‘This is how close I was to Dumond’s face for an hour,’ “ Stevens recalled. “ ‘I’ll never forget his face, and you’ll never forget mine.’ “

The parole board - following a closed meeting with Huckabee - decided to let Dumond go. The following year, Dumond committed the Missouri slaying. He died in prison in 2005. "

Why doesn't Edwards have greater support, his answers are wide and seem to be very thoughtful as opposed to Clinton and Obama who seem to be always fighting and putting their feet in their mouths..and their speeches just superficial

Hello all!
I'm doing a project on the country of North Korea for a project for my Chinese I class.
I'm having troubles finding the following answers;
Requirments ( to join I suppose)
Age limit
Time limit
and Female vs Male ( I'm guessing this means is there any difference between the two when it comes to the military)
If anyone can answer one or all of these questions it would be greatly appreciated!

My 6 yr. old son was w/ his father, on a freeway, he got pulled over for a cracked windshield the police officer searched his dad, then told him to face the police car, the officer then told my son to get out of the car and put his hands in his pockets and searched him, with out asking his dad, or for that matter asking me his mom who has full custody of him, is that legal? No they did not find anything on them, and despite all that, the officer impounded the car for no proof of insurance, and left my 6 year old and his dad on the side of the freeway, what can I do about this, it makes me very angry to think they can do things like this, and expect kids to respect them, any suggestions?

Who will emerge as the main challenge to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries?

Obama and Edwards have both been falling in the polls over the past few months. With Clinton at 48, Obama 17, Edwards 13. But what;s worth noting is that Obama is down from 24 and Edwards is up from 10. That seems to suggest that at least some of Obama's support went to Edwards. And only four points behind Obama in national polls, if the trend continues, Edwards is poised to take second place from Obama. It will be a still very distant second place, but could boost him in Iowa, where he initially led and still shows signs of life.

Obama may now not only be in the difficult position of trying to catch up to Clinton, but mainitaining his second place lead as Edwards is fast approaching on him. If Edwards overtakes Obama, it could be a big story which boosts Edwards and could potentially eliminate Obama.

I think this is another stupid waste of everyone's time.

Take out a dollar bill and read that little phrase in latin.

People wanna be on their cell phones with their homies talking smack in spanish I don't care.

People wanna go vote - ENGLISH PERIOD


People want to be citizens - TAKE YOUR TEST IN ENGLISH

People want to go serve a jury duty - SPEAK ENGLISH

if you can't perform the functions of a citizen in English that YOU AREN'T A CITIZEN.

Thats just my opinion on the issue, what are your views please
