Politics & Government - 23 November 2007

In a no-fault society which blames all problems on everything except the root cause...

How often do you see a car chase, only with to end with someone stepping out or thrown to the ground in a 3-piece suit?

Or that video from the convience store of someone lunging across to attack or shoot the clerk?

My feeling is if you screw up, its most likely you did something...WRONG, even if your black, white, yellow, or poka-dotted.

I can't play that race card when I get pulled over doing 100MPH, and tell the police..."Man, you pulling me over cause I'm WHITE?!"

Your thoughts?

How come we don't see Ron Paul granting more interviews with African-Americans and Latinos?

it's based on the Clinton's first campaign history. They've changed the names to avoid law suits.
John Travolta plays Bill
Emma Thompson plays Hillary

The Vince Foster suicide is represented by the suicide of a woman instead to avoid the wrath of the Clinton's. There is a book by the same name, check it out it's even more detailed than the movie.

I know you'll want to lock up the doctors who perform the procedures, so they'll move underground and into back alleys. Just like illegal drugs, you'll want to go after the user as well as the dealer, so when we catch a woman having or had an abortion, how long should they go to jail and for what crime?

The fact that US sacrifice in Gulf War I ended with Kuwait being such a role model for Middle East democracy gives me hope we will reach the same goal with Iraq in Gulf War II. Doesn't it make you hopeful?

If people feel strongly that smokers have an obligation to pay more for health care because of the extra financial burden they place on the system* then shouldn’t the same financial reasoning be used in regards to Social Security? If on average smokers die 6-8 years sooner than a non-smoker, then they obviously place much less of a financial burden on Social Security. Perhaps there should be a tax on gym memberships and heath food to make up the difference; people who work on living as long as possible are obviously abusing the system and are getting more than their fair share.

*Nations with universal health care recognize that smokers do in fact cost the health care system more “for every year a smoker lives,” but since non-smokers live longer they will eventually cost the system even more.

I'm not anti Hillary but I see this as a time to have a strong Military man as President.

Even though McCain is a bit of a lose canon I think his back ground makes him good for the job at this time.

Oh where oh where is Colin Powell.

Or will that kind of politicking be the reason she wins?

I think we're all a little fed up with the bigots and pundits, don't you?

Don't like her? Fine...

But do you know anything about government other than name-calling?

(just so you know, I'm voting for someone else in the primaries so I'm not like her #1 fan or anything).

Alright, I've already asked folks on here what to do about my lie at MEPs. Well I'm not going to get into that again. Instead I'm going to tell it like this. I don't care whether the Navy finds out that i lied for not. I would rather serve honestly, than to serve dishonestly. But let's also get the record straight, I told my recruiters EVERYTHING, I NEVER intended to lie. That's why i told them everything, I'm a god-fearin, southern boy, I work hard and I don't care for lies or anything of the sort. But every recruiter insisted that I lie. Even my friend who is submariner in the Navy right now told me to lie, and I figured they must know something that i don't, like a military code or something, but oh well. I followed their advice and I have been scared ever since. I can't go to my recruiters, They already know everything, I need to know where to go if my recruiters don't want to change the fact that I lied. If the recruiters won't fix it, who can I go to next? I live in marietta, GA.

This video is crucial. This is a presidential candidate explaining to the CHAIRMAN OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE why all prices are so high, and why everybody is losing a ton of money.

He's explaining the inflation tax.

Listen to the fear and nervousness in the chairman of the Feds voice!!!

This is scary as hell! It's your money! It's your savings!

It is being devalued like crazy.

Ron is the only candidate who wants to scrap the Fed or force them back to the gold standard where they must have gold backing the money!

If you are going for anybody else, welcome great depression.

Look, the bottom line is, despite wars, programs, incentives and issues, MONEY makes the world go round. If your dollars value is shot, then we are all in the poor house. The dollar is incredibly weak to the Euro now.

We are going down without Ron Paul! I'm dead serious. He's a genius in economics.

Which would be better for your children's development in education?
Who would be able to give a child more personal time?
Should a child in a developing stage have one teacher, or many who more like than not, will not teach them the same values?

Would you choose Laura, or Hillary?

Democrats say their job is to provide equality for everyone including minorities and white women. Yet as a male I feel that they forget equality should be equal in all cases. One example is that women can vote, run for all political office, and join the army but still are not required by law to sign up for selective service. A next issue is crime. Whenever a woman especially a white woman commit a crime we make excuses that we wont for a male. An example of this is debra lafave and mary kay letourneau slept with boys 20 years younger than them yet got probation for their offense because apparently the judge bought the excuse that they were emotionally uninclined. Yet very few people complained about this as much as had it been a group of women getting less pay than men. Child custody and divorce laws are another issue.

I recently heard that Obama admitted to smoking dope and doing other illegal drugs while speaking to students at a collage function.
If this is true, as a one time admitted dope smoker, does anyone think that if elected President Mr. Obama would perhaps be inclined to address the current drug laws in the US? Maybe some form of decriminalization. He apparently enjoyed himself quite a bit while in Hawaii.
I wonder if the other democratic hopefulls will exploit this admission while fighting for their parties nomination?
