Some people were debating this yesterday during Turkey-Day celebrations and so I put it to you? What do you think of just the question itself, and what is your answer/opinion?

Hillary. Supports say for her, "Well all politicians lie." "Well most politicians are funded by lobbyists." "Well some politicians flipflop."

Do you not understand that the status quo of politics is NOT working? And not just because of the Bush administration. We've had problems of the elected officials ignoring the people long before. They do what ever they can to be reelected. They take money from lobbyists and are bound by them.

We don't have time to go through another 4 years of this.

We need a candidate who is against lobbyists. Who is for uniting our country, the left and right. The problem with Hillary and Romney is that most people are basically in the middle of political standing. Hillary is too left. Romney is too right.

If you don't realize the hell that this country is going through, then vote for Hillary. You DESERVE her. But if you see the things that I see, take a look at other candidates. Candidates who offer a change is how we perceive politics.

OBAMA '08!

Why when Americans doing a report or a documentary they report about the worst part of the countries. They show the poverty stricken neighborhoods and communities. They show the negatives sides. On the other hand they dont show where the upper middle class and the rich lives. or the positives aspects of the country. I hate that.

Does America do that to feel better about themselves? Maybe

One can disagree with Austrian-born Republican Governor Schwarzenegger or Canadian-born Democratic Governor Granholm on policy issues, or question their qualifications, but honestly - purely on the basis of their patriotic loyalty to the U.S.A., does anyone think that these two people shouldn't be allowed to run for president? I'm fairly sure that neither of them is a "sleeper agent" for their country of birth. Ditto for Henry Kissinger and Madeline Albright.

We need the very best we've got for our next (several) presidents; why are we hanging onto a rule that excludes some of our most qualified prospects?

Wasn't it Reagan and Bush Sr. who armed, trained, financed Bin Laden and his boy's in the early 80's?

Didn't 9/11 happen under the Republicans watch?

Wasn't it Reagan and Rumsfeld who gave Saddam chemical weapons?

Wasn't it contractors linked to Rumsfeld who sold nuclear reactor's to N. Korea?

Wasn't it Bush who wanted to hand our port security to Dubai, a country with links to Hezbollah?

Wasn't it reagan who called Bin Laden a "great man and a hero" (after Reagan cut and ran from Lebanon after Hezbollah bombed a marine's barrack killing almost 300 marines".

Aren't the Bush's closes friends and business partners the Saudi Royal Family? The same family who have bank rolled terrorism for decades?

Wasn't it Bush who said " I don't think about Bin Laden, he is not important too me."

With the track record of the Republicans can America take the risk and vote Republican?

I recieved a stupid $20 parking ticket on Oct 30 2006 at 3:10am for parking on a sidewalk to my house. (Other cars were blocking driveway).

Again, the same day, Oct 30th--- But this year---I parked in the wrong spot---a handi-cap space since the City of Perris had blocked off the entire parking lot of the public library. This ticket is $275.00
I contested BOTH and LOST both.

So, who in the world gets this money? Does the police get a 30% cut of this ticket? Do police have an issue with October 30th? Does the city (of where the violation occured) recieve ALL of the money? I

If police are so set on getting a nice big bonus, why don't they work harder at getting speed demons, car jacker, rapist and murderers?

Ok so with the rise of the EU the US will no longer be a superpower 10 years from now.....in fact a popular book was publish calling this sentury the european century. With future members coming in like Turkey and maybe even Russia on topof others it would be a good idea to start doing the same.

The EU has 1.6 Trillion dollars more in terms of GPD and 150 million more people as well....translating this if russia and the other countries join the EU if war started we would loose.

China is coming from the bottom and is aiming stright for the top, is GPD is 11 trillion while ours is 13 and the EU almost 15 and with a population over a billion there military would be one hell of a fight for us.

If the European union happends the GPD would go to 18 and population to 659 million which just means we can easily beat the EU and china at that point.

Sure Mexico is a messed up country, it can be fixed...is still the 9 richest country in the world so we can benefit.

My question is regarding employment law in Illinois. I thought employees were supposed to be given at LEAST 15 minutes break time if they work 6-7 hours straight. My daughter works for Bath and Body Works but has never been allowed even a lunch break. I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you!!

We were driving home from the hospital after my 2 yr old was in the icu for a few days and a man piloting an experimental/home built air craft, crashed and we were hit with all the debri and ran alot of it over damaging our car. The family of the pilot who died agreed over the phone to pay the damages to our car. We got an estimate, they did not agree with and are now refusing to pay. We have now grown impatient with the situation. Any input would be appreciated. What can we sue for...I know the damages, time off of work. Anything else? We did not want to put this family through this after loosing a son, giving them every opportunity to just settle with us for the body work of the car..but they are not worried about our family and I am now ready to get what we deserve.

BRISTOL, N.H. - Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson said Friday that New York City isn't a model for the rest of the country and that Rudy Giuliani should stop basing his stances on his time as that city's mayor.

Gun rights is a key issue among libertarian-leaning primary voters in New Hampshire.

"(Giuliani) simply supported just about every gun control legislation that came down the pike. I just disagree with him on that," Thompson said. "I saw he was at bill signing ceremonies with (New York Sen.) Chuck Schumer and President Clinton and others for gun control legislation over the years."

Thompson also said the Democrats would do everything they could to end gun rights.

"They were against gun rights for a long time and they paid for it at the polls," he said. "I don't think Americans think taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens makes for a safer America"

...individual officers, that is? The police said he jumped over the barrier, but paid for his ticket with a credit card and walked through. He was also accused of running away from them...he didn't. They claimed to have shouted warnings when they didn't.
It made me realise the police, like your normal Joe Bloggs will tell all sorts of lies, realising the truth in this particular case would finish them off.
Could be the reason why he was shot so many times was to make sure he would never 'awaken' to indeed tell the truth?

Not in shame but, in a kind of protest sabatical. Let the Republicans pay for their mistakes by putting someone in charge of the presidency next term and just allow them to destroy American life. It's a strategy I like to use with combative people: you give them the rope to tie themselves up for good with and then come in after they're finished screwing around and clean up their mess so everyone can clearly see what is going on. I might support reconsider voting for Rudy. What do you think?
