People work hard and pay taxes, some people are targeted by the government into paying even more money for no good reasons. Where as politicians are rich and not only get paid by the citizens for their job (lack there of) but even before they are elected. And when they are in office they become even more richer by agreeing to tax the citizens even more. All while promising to help them to begin with, only to step over them in order to benefit themselves.

Prior to the big government programs, this is how it was done, and we had the exact same level of poverty...no worse, not better, but much less taxation and dependency.

It seems reality has a LIBERAL BIAS.

Liberals said giving massive tax cuts to the super rich would decrease revenue and balloon the deficit.
Cons said it would INCREASE revenue.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

Liberals said there were no WMD in Iraq and that Bush was lying.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

Liberals said there was no connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

Liberals said there was no connection between Iraq and 9/11.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

Liberals said Iraq would not be a "cakewalk" and that the mission was NOT accomplished when Bush was strutting around the flight deck crowing success.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

Liberals said invading Iraq would be a huge mistake that would weaken our military for decades.
Liberals were right, Cons were wrong.

I am thinking about applying to become a cop. I would love to do detective work eventually but know you have to work as a cop first. Any thoughts/opinions on this line of work? I would be leaving the private sector of banking.

Should the Presidential vote somehow bypass State ratification of the vote? Should you be able to vote for President from anywhere in the US with proper ID, not just in your home district?

I know the Patriot Act is a powerful weapon to prevent terrorist attacks, which obviously any reasonable person would support. My fear, however, is that it can be extended to any law enforcement agency to catch anyone who commits any crime no matter how insignificant, which could lead our government down the road of fascism.

I want to know is it unlawful, to intervene by holding a person by the waist after police officer punched a guy in the face and was proceeding furthermore with a flashlight/orblackjack.

Obstruction is when an interference occur to delay a lawful arrest.

Please tell me what you think

In U.S. if two persons speak on the phone "let's explode a car" and government records it, they can sue you as a conspiracy act. This behavior is the same on the Switzerland country and under Swiss Penal Code? Thanks!

Why are two key democrats voting in favor of a Bush-Appointed Attonery General when the same two democrats said "F*** U" to other Bush appointee's like Judge Roberts, Bolton, and former Attorney General Gonzales?

If this is not Zionism please give me a logical explanation? I'm no anti-semite so don't even start. Why is so convenient that Feinstein and Schummer who are constantly attacking the Bush Admin's policy, so eager to vote in Micheal Mukasey who shares the same views regarding policy as Bush but same religious faith as Schummer and Feinstein who are strongly opposed to that view regarding policy?

"Rudy Giuliani's latest radio ad, which began airing in New Hampshire this week, draws a stark picture for anyone diagnosed with prostate cancer in England. "I had prostate cancer, five, six years ago," the Republican presidential candidate says in the ad. "My chance of surviving prostate cancer, and thank God I was cured of it, in the United States, 82 percent. My chances of surviving prostate cancer in England, only 44 percent under socialized medicine.”
Giuliani is wrong about that. Fortunately for the English, their chances of surviving prostate cancer are far better than Giuliani claims: The actual five-year survival rate is 74.4 percent, according to the United Kingdom's Office of National Statistics. Even those in the U.S. have a better chance than what Giuliani states..."

Thoughts?
