How about all the special interest groups that will not allow domestic exploration pay for the rest of America's gas bill?

Hello,

I had a very rich great, great, uncle who upon dying forsook his family and left the vast majority of his earnings to charity, which was just plain wrong if you ask me. My grandfather was an engineer for him and helped him to make his business successful, he is also in charge of assigning the donations to the various charities. Theres so much money in the account that we cannot touch, not even a single dollar, even though there has been numerous "tough times" we could have used it.

We believe he left the money to charity out of spite because the family had moved out of the state the rich uncle was in, and I suppose they were the only family he had. Anyhow, is there any way possible a will can be "broken" for the benefit of descendants, possible heirs.

Thanks.

Recently Dennis Milligan, the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, sounded pretty excited about the prospect of domestic terrorism. Rick Santorum has echoed similar sentiments on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show.

Why would they look forward to the death and fear caused by terror attack?

Could a terror attack represent a political opportunity for these people?

Dow plunges more than 300 points

Truth be told, I don't equate the stock market to the US economy due to so many US companies moving out of the country in the first place. Yet neo-cons assume that the DOW IS the economy, much like they confuse Bush with a country called America.

The president and first "person" in the whitehouse are so closely linked that I feel there could be infringement upon the constitution if the spouse were elected. Billary was already in office for 8 years and Billary links her experience to the close advising and debating with her husband. Won't the same pow wows take place if she is elected to office again? Won't Bills opinions and pull be ever present if Billary is elected? Surely she will not bar ol' Bill from political discussion. He is a 2 term president with tons of experience.
Therefore, if his advice is readily accepted by Billary she could get the dynasty in hot water with the constitution, but if she doesn't take his advice she could be seen as stubborn and autocratic. I'm not sure that having her as president would bring any of the change that she is preaching. Agree?

I'm a Liberal, and let me tell you it is very hard to be a TRUE Liberal; that is, you must question the possibility that your opponent may be right... I have not gained much favor with my fellow Lefties because of this -- I always argue the conservative side when I am in the presence of liberals to:
A. Understand your own argument well...
B. Understand your opponent, and why your opponent is who he/she is.
C. Entertain other possibilities and adapt to changes.
and of course, the conservatives hate my guts because I'm a Lefty...

This is a Democracy, we must listen to each other instead of having a shouting match like Bill O' Riley vs. Donahue... Why do people have to be so stubborn when picking sides?

I would prefer people who have been in this situation to give me answers. This program does exist. Any information would be greatly appreciated, and no I do not care to get into a detailed conversation about how Bush is an idiot etc...

On the Navys website it said 33.3 percent a year. If that is true, I want to know about it.

I would gladly serve my country with that incentive.

If the US had full (100%) employment, for instance, the wage pressures would cause inflation. Logically then, someone MUST BE POOR for capitalism to function

This is but one example

Or better, I like the way George Carlin puts it:

"If everyone gets rich, who's gonna clean all the @*%! toilets?"

in a national newspaper today a government think-tank has suggested christmas be called by another name in case it offends the ethnic minorities-it also adds more emphasis should be placed on celebrations such as the divali festival. some towns already call christmas "winterval"-if this is allowed to happen it will be another peice of our heritage lost to the bleeding heart brigade.

She isn't my choice, but as the front-runner, she has to expect to be the target, of both parties, but I think she is smart enough to bounce back with ease. Giuliani also gets hammered, but not as much as Clinton, and I wonder why.

Anybody hear about people in the U.S. being kidnapped by Mexican drug cartels and sent back as gifts to the cartel leaders? When is our government going to get control of the border. I am giving them until the end of the year and any federal incumbent that I am able to vote for that has not done anything to get the border situation taken care of will get a NO vote from me in the next election. I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat.

2007-11-01 09:03:28 · 4 answers · asked by @#$%^ 5 in Elections

In a sense the GOP needs someone who will energize their base. They need to have a polarizing effect.

Giuliani is a left leaning Republican. He would NOT sway voters away from Senator Clinton.

The GOP needs another Ronald Reagan. Or at least a more right wing, traditionalist candidate who has some charisma.

McCain, Thomspon, or Romney could be the man for the job.

But Giuliani is far too left leaning. And I think he will turn off a lot of voters in the end.

Your thoughts?

It looks like there is no stopping Hilary Clinton from winning her party's nomination.

So should the Republicans think only of finding someone to beat her? Or should they look for a candidate who best represents the ideals, views, and values of the party?

And if they do need to think only of beating Clinton, then who should they choose?

He looked good at first, but what he has said in the confirmation hearings worries me. He refuses to acknowledge that torture is illegal, and he said that the president should feel free to ignore the law if he thinks he should. Haven't we had enough of that? Presidents swear to uphold the constitution, and the Attorney General does too. Isn't it time we had someone who will keep their word?

Try to answer without using the words racists, zenophobe or any variation there of as well as any word suggesting fear.

Everytime there is a question about Hillary Clinton (either for or against her) there are more people against her answering those questions. I also have not met a single person who is going to vote for Hillary..... so where are these people that have her so high on the totem pole?

There was a guy outside of Albertsons trying to get everyone to turn democrat and i asked him who he was voting for.... he didnt tell me where his vote was going, but he made damn sure that i knew he wasn't voting for clinton.....

So, im confused. Help me out people. I seriously do not see where her support is coming from!
