As the debate showed Hillary is incapable of holding a positioin for longer than a minute. Without her high priced campaign staffers she embarasses the party with her presence. Bill must have left out the tact lesson in her training along with the morality issues. I wonder if She will ever be truthfull.

After condemming the Iranian terror groups some members want a take back and composed a letter to the president telling him what they meant. That is why we have votes in congress. Another prime example of lack of leadership. Who can support losers like them in the future??

when he basically waterboarded Mary Jo Kopechne to death at Chappaquiddock?

Yes, it may have been an accident when he ran the car off the bridge, but it wasn't an accident when he left the scene.

If he is so morally outraged by this sort of behavior, why doesn't he resign his Senate seat?

Don't worry. I'm not holding my breath. It didn't do Mary Jo any good. I'm sure it won't do me any good either.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who works a blue collar job, when he mentioned that he has to take a pre-employment urine test to screen for drugs. In a discussion on welfare he questioned why welfare applicants aren't screened for drugs. He laid out his logic in that if he has to pass a drug screen in order to earn a paycheck, why aren't others? Especially those who aren't earning there income per say, but could potentially be using tax payer fund to purchase drugs.


If a resolution were passed we could see a possible decline in two areas of concern. A required drug screening could lead to a decline in drug use, also denying those who fail a drug screening could lead to lower welfare costs.

The problem I forsee is funding for the drug screening, which could be very costly and may outweigh the benefits.

What are your thoughts?

I am currently going through the process with a law enforcement agency. I have done very well and passed all tests thus far. However, I recently (Tuesday evening) had a polygraph and failed ONE question having to do with illegal gambling. I've heard a million answers of whether I've passed or failed. They said they'd let me know - I have not heard ANYTHING from the Police Department (it's now Friday!). I have a test (BAT) scheduled at 8:00 in the morning! My papers say not to contact them. Should I call or email?? Will it be better to just wait? Is it a good sign that I haven't heard yet or bad news? I'm sooo confused!! Experienced answers please.......

I’m so sick to death of the politically correct “undocumented worker” or “undocumented immigrant” crap. They crossed the border illegally, they remain here illegally, they work here illegally, and we pay them off with this “undocumented” nonsense. They’re ILLEGALS. Call them what they are! Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented worker” is like calling your neighborhood heroin dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist.”

As president of the united states during peace time a presidents power is compromised by congress.
However during time of war the presidents powers become absolute. Bush declared war within 48 hours of the attack with no evidence of who was responsible or how three buildings could have just collapsed into dust. Mayor Guillianie destroyed the crime scene by shipping all the metal beams over seas to china. Is there anyone who really believes there was no government involvement in the orchestration of 911?

driver's licenses to illegals will hurt her campaign? Voters have never before seen a candidate contradict themselves as they witnessed during last weeks debate. Thanks to youtube those who missed it can view and review it over again. So do you believe this will mortally wound Hildabeast's campaign, or will the DNC ignore it as usual?

I am only 22 and im in school with a fulltime trying to make endz meet. she means well but at the same time i just dont like it. should she think for her son? me or both of us becuase we love eachother alot as well as her son

Since Bush has taken over, not one single month job creation has even come clsoe to job loss, but tis touted as brimming success. Since only people are counted jobless for a couple of month, the majority of jobless people, growing now to 14%, is not mentioned in offfical statements. Other countries do it, why not the USA?

If you haven't heard about it, no wonder. The media is deafeningly silent about this for some reason. Educate yourself and comment:
