I asked this question earlier and I didn't really get what I was looking for. Perhaps the original question didn't serve me well enough. I got several responses towards his electability and his chances of winning. A few said he would not make a good president because of his name? Another said because of the way he looks.
I'm more curious about the issues. Where he stands on these issues and why other candidates would do a better job getting this country heading in right direction. (Unless of course you feel that this country is doing just fine and no change is needed)

Here is the relevant statute language:

A person is guilty of an offense if he intentionally—
(1) engages in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute; or
(2) discloses or uses information obtained under color of law by electronic surveillance, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through electronic surveillance not authorized by statute.

Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—

there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party;

Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping of communications to which US persons were parties.

How is this NOT a crime???

I have been at my position for 4 months now... they recently decided to take away my daily responsibilites due to what they say is "ineffectiveness". My take is that i was not trained properly for the position.
They have now currently given me daily work of an administrator, and have seemed to do everything in there power to have me quit.

A fellow employee has informed me they are trying to have me quit, and if i dont quit with my head high they will then let me go. soon... any advice?
Thanks

I got banned from entering parents condo bc I visited and stayed & lived there against rules years back. Yes my faultThen earlier this year my dad bc terminal, died "quick"/ 4 1/2 months/ from cancer. Now I realize their regulations can legally keep me out, but isn't anything supportive of a man seeing his dad through his passing irregardless of some jerks that didn't even allow me to see him when they were truthfully informed, incl. that he couldn't communicate or appreciate otherwise. He no longer spoke \via phone, and mail sure doesnt cut it, no email, no computer there. In seeing my dad; I mean, isn't it midieval and uncivilized to say " No! no matter what, youre not entering, to hell w letting you two suffer in agony." What harm would I've caused condo. & the harm we got was permanently unspeakable, childish even.
& time issues2press charges against, ANY recourse, file claim on condo?Or should I just forget it? Thanks answers from personal|pros. Im looking justice, not ^ money...

Should the government regulate it, or should it be privatized?
Given to everyone for free and covered under taxes, or a separate thing to pay for?
Pros AND cons would be great.

- It seems a lot of Republicans took to heart Obama's statement in his rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention that "there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America." -

if only it was as easy as picking one party or the other, but not wanting to limit myself to one groups thoughts, i cant do that. I am not registered as a democrat OR republican, but independant. Does anyone know a place that i can figure out exactly which candidate matches most of my views?

Its tough because i am against most of the social ideas of the democratic party (im against welfare and i dont think gays have the right to marriage) but im also against certain things republicans tend to support (war, centralized government, more federal power)

Because of the overlapping nature of the powers in a federal system, there are often conflicts between the various levels of government. What is an example of an issue that has become a problem because of differing ideas/laws from the state to the federal level? What is the current status of this issue today? Is it still a problem?

but if i were to turn around and offer said stranger money for the sexual encounter it would suddenly be illegal?

How does that make any sense? Why is it illegal to pay for something thats perfectly legal to give away?

I mean i have never had a random sexual encounter like that, or would ever go up to a random girl and ask, i am just perplexed by this whole issue... i was watching cops on tv and the showed one of those prostitution raids they do... seemed wrong

Why or why not?

I personally think we defiantely shouldn't.

It would cost more money and it would also put the soldiers life in danger.

What do you think?

then you should be supporting Ron Paul for president! This happened yesterday.. this guy is the real deal..

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—"Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has raised over $3.1 million in the past 19 hours, making today’s the single largest fundraising effort of the 2008 election cycle. At 4:00 pm, the campaign’s $2.7 million broke the record for the largest online presidential primary fundraising effort in a single day, and by 6:30 pm, the campaign broke Mitt Romney’s $3.1 million record for single-day fundraising this year."

The November elections will be over, and all and sundry will be ramping up for the Primaries. With all the squabbling over the date changes, will His Majesty just declare martial law so he can invade Iran at will without the hinderance of the Constitution and the few who are left defending it and not have to worry about will his 'successor' be of like mind?
