I've read a little about it on the internet, but I want to learn more, in a logical progression.

Or, what percentage of US military support McCain, and what percentage support more extreme methods?

Here are some quotes about him from an article today:

“One of the things that kept us going when I was in prison in North Vietnam was that we knew that if the situation were reversed, that we would not be doing to our captors what they were doing to us,” [McCain] said.
[….]

“I want to tell you. Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney all think it is O.K.,” Mr. McCain told the diners in Boone. “They have one thing in common. They don’t understand the military and the culture of this nation. If they did, they could never condone such behavior.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/16/us/politics/15cnd-mccain.html?ex=1352869200&en=73fdf47bcf1916b9&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

On the campaign trail, Mr. McCain does not dwell on the personal details of his five and a half years as a prisoner of war, the “torture ropes” in which he was bound day and night, or the beatings..

Other than being the son of the distinguised WWII veteran George H. W. Bush and Governor of Texas (where a dog could run as a Republican...and win).

As "illegal aliens" but rightfully branded Bush's War as such?

Like Kucinich has maintained all along: " Begin the impeachment process NOW!"

I had a friend that worked in a HUGE complex. 80% were hispanics born in the US. 12% were white and the remaining 8 was black and other. Those are real stats by the way. So there is the drain on the system. Those people had 3-6 kids and some had one parent and many had both. They were home ALL freakin day doing nothing but watchin tv and smokin weed and dealing drugs.
How is that a comparison to a person that comes here and works illegal or otherwise? Even if he's using a fake social he's still paying taxes. Who deserves to be here most?

My boyfriend renewed his tax online but failed to change it over. So, although he has upto date tax the disc diplayed in the car is out of date. Is this an offence? Does anyone know what the fine would be? The police have put a notice on the car saying they have sent information to the DVLA. Presumably they'll say the car is taxed and it'll be ok???

If the American People choose to elect another Republican President in 2008 and Congress in both the House of Representatives and the US Senate go Republicans, what do you believe America will be like in 2009?

If Republicans take control of America in 2009, I can be insured that George W. Bush legacy of Hard Work, Success, and Prosperity can be continued for Four More Years.

As we know, Americans only ever attack dirt poor countries unable to defend themselves, is this why Russia, with over 5000 nukes, can tell the US to go F**k itself, the Heritage foundation and the Fascist Right hate Russia because it can stand up for itself.

What is it about a democrat that makes your blood boil? Is it their inaction? Their protests? Or their misguided prosperity for other countries other than America?

the cost of keeping prisoners in jail is enormous>can anyone tell me and the British public what percentage of these costly prisoners are, of foreign extract? the opinion I and others have,is, that a person who arrives in this country irrespective from where, who then goes on to commit crimes, are caught ,and found guilty in the courts, should be made to work hard for a period to pay debt to the society who welcomed them to our shores, when that debt is paid they, and the whole of his/her family should then be deported back to their place of origin, this should be mandatory and made clear to all future offenders.

Women have fought for title IX laws to guarantee them equal funding for education and sports, they have also fought for the right to vote, run for office, and join the military. Also equal pay and opportunity laws have been created and are usually the case in government policies. So if we are suppose to be equal then why women required as male to sing up when they are 18?

Lets get a few opions on this. It seems like no one can offend anyone anymore? When did this happen? It seems like our goverment wants us to all be smiling down the street all the time. Have they lost a sense of reality? And if it is ruining our society, is it labour, or all political parties? This question cam to me when i heard the BBC were going to do an episode of Holby City where a Muslim youth blows himself up on a bus, but because of governmental intervention, the muslim youth's character was changed to an animal rights protester (which makes the storyline even more unbelievable than normal Holby City episode).

I am 23 years old with three and a half years of college under my belt, I am not exactly sure what I would like to do as a career. I have recently been looking into the Navy, I was wondering how is life being in the Navy? Is it rewarding and what exactly are the direct duties of a PA officer and how long before I could become one?

THANKS!

It's like they care more about their 'team' winning and their rival losing than they do about the country. The candidates know this and they play into this. Maybe this is why all of the front runners on both sides are complete morons?

I mean they tried to get rid of consrvative talk people and lost. Then we find out that even 'liberal" New York is not so liberal. the cat is out of the bag. What happened to the boy that cried wolf to many times. Now they are attacking lou Dobbs calling him "racist" and "nazi", just because he tells it like it is. Freedom of speech is here again and the lib media knows it.
