If Obama continues on his course to attack Hillary as a person, will to derail his campaign, since his whole gimmick is that he isn't a negative, mudslinger like most of his rivals? This isn't an attack on Obama, as he is the only democrat I'd consider voting for... I just wonder how important his message of hope is, and if that is the one thing counteracting questions about his experience. (none)

Is it wrong for a police officer to conduct an investigation when he has ties to the alleged victim?

Exactly what is an "impartial " and "ethical" investigation of a crime conducted by a police officer?

Should a police officer recuse himself/herself from an investigation when he/she has personal and business ties to the alleged victim? The police officer I am referring to soon discovers his/her own personal information becomes part of the investigation. Isn't it impossible for him/her to remain impartial especially when the alleged victim gives this police officer reason to believe he has "suffered" from the alleged crime and it becomes part of the investigation?

Is there a code of ethics that governs law enforcement to conduct an impartial investigation?

Why don't politicians run on their own platform?

It seems that whenever they have a debate they start pointing fingers at each other, & any time that they get an oppurtunity they grand stand on someone else's short commings. Take for instance Giuliani trying to tell us that the illegal immigrant problems should be dealt with only by the Federal Gov. & that the states & cities should not be enforcing the laws. I say we all have allowed this to happen & we should all be involved in eredicating the problem. We as citizens should communicate with our representitives to tell them where we stand on this issue & that every state & city should get invoved.

Is it illegal to have possession of alcohol while underage in your car?

i ride with my friend a lot and she has alcohol in the trunk of her car. I don't drink and have never drank but she does. We are both underage. if we were to get stopped and checked, would we both get in trouble even if the alcohol wasn't mine and i was not driving? I just want to make sure, because there is a law in sc that states that if the persons in the vehicle are riding in the car with possession of alcohol we all get fined.

PS: i've never seen it and i don't drink it i just know its in the trunk of her car and i ride with her all the time.

Why are people sidelining Mike Gravel?????

nobody is even listening to what he has to say...is it because he's unconventional? or has some sense of urgency? "because he's a Lib" is not an answer because Hilldog is very popular and all she has done is her hair.
