I want to know what government official ever stole our money (taxes) from the government. One reference is Bernard Kerik, former Police Commisioner of NYC.

This past Tuesday, Oregon voters defeated Measure 50. This ballot inititive would have raised cigarette taxes to help pay for healthcare for poor children and would have made the state eligible for matching funds from the US Congress. However this measure was defeated.

This tax was very similiar to what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been proposing for the SCHIP program and Bush vetoed twice. Many of you on YA have said Bush must hate poor children because of this veto. With that said, do citizens of Oregon hate children as well because the in effect vetoed this tax as well.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is how some people still feel in this day and age. Why are Gays and lesbians forced to accept unequal rights?
I will readily admit that I am in a conventional marriage, so it doesn't really affect me. But being a caring individual, I'm struggling to understand how we can live with denying someone the right to happiness.
Considering that 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce, and the number of serial brides and grooms out there (Liz Taylor, Larry King, Rudy Guliani, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh....just a few who come to mind) and the number of serial philandererers (Bill Clinton, David Vitter) I've come to the conclusion that we don't have the right to judge on gay marriages. Marriage isn't perfect, and I don't see how it is up to us to judge people if it is right or wrong.

No, Marriage isn't a constitutional right, but aren't all created equal and gauranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

I am not clear on what Senator Clinton's position is on this very contentious matter.

Could someone clarify this for me?

I ordered some wedding favors from a woman who owns a small business in my city. I found her at a bridal show and paid for my order by check. That was in May , she told me it would take some time to make them and she would contact me when they were ready. I heard nothing so in September I contacted her via email and she told me they were done and she would ship them no problem- Here we are November and i still don't have them. I've been emailing since September and have gotten no further responce. I've also called all the contact numbers I can find and they are all disconnected. Being that i have proof of payment and an email from her can I go to the police? What is the name of the crime I am turning her in for? Please help me it would be very appreciated.

Is it because it elicits incorrect information from people who will say anything to make the, um, uh, "interrogation" stop?

I know it is not specifically in the Constitution, but it was my understanding it was pretty much there...would that sentence be expressing a personal point of view? Or is it a fact?

Is there a way I could state this concept without it being my opinion?

If someone in your home is selling marijuana and the police bust your house, is the owner responsible? If there are children in the home will the children be taken? Are other adults in the house responsible as well?

The unions have been broken ,by the republicans ,corporations have moved almost all factory production work outside the U.S.A.and 40,000,000 people who work have no way to pay for health coverage and never will .
Democrats think they can change this . The world has changed and today its about profits that unions no longer share in because its cheaper to re-tool in Mexico where the plant construction is lower cheaper materials are available locally and only the equipment is still made in America . But the machinists unions will soon go the way of the others . We have given away our jobs and with them our incomes as working americans .

Those super bright kids who play with money have also never had to own up to the mistakes and have made this nation a victim of the debts they have caused .
We paid the 50 billion dollar bail out of the savings and loans .
We will now be bailing out the mortgage companies .
The truth hurts but democrats still believe they can fix this .

Denial .

He was at his Jr high school and had two joints in his backpack. After authorities were notified the boy and his entire family are being sent back to Mexico because they were in this country illegally.

Some are happy to be rid of the illegals, but this seems like severe treatment and all the family must now be deported. I don't really know how to feel about this. Were the people generally law abiding? Were the parents employed and eligible for legal status? What are your thoughts and feelings?

I am sure you have seen the picture where Obama abstains from holding his hand to his heart during the pledge of allegiance and national anthem. Clearly anyone who does not pledge his allegiance the country he is trying to become president of, is not loyal to the constitution either.
