I am talking about the really awful political pundits in the wee hours of the morning and late at night.

Most of them are on AM stations but also the internet and sometimes FM.

Both the liberal and conservative ones are really awful...

I could do a much better Liberal show than the ones I've heard (which consist mostly of uninformed Atheists refuting a book that they've never read).

The conservative shows are just as mind-numbing... maybe a little angrier but still dumb.

How do I get air time?
Do I pay for it?
Do I get sponsors?

Most of these crackpots shouldn't have advertisers but they do!

Hugo Chavez is attempting to set up a dictatorship in Venezuala, many democrats and hollywood elitists have traveled to meet with Chavez and given him their support over the last couple of months.

How many here support another dictatorship being formed?

Seems unlikely given their differences and constant attacks on one another, but it might help the Democratic ticket.

There is a growing sense of outrage in Kalispell Montana after a Mexican flag was erected in front of a U.S. flag 200 feet up a huge tower that belongs to the oldest radio station in America - KGEZ Before the incident, station owner John Stokes said that he was getting calls from angry supporters of the extremist La Reconquista movement, a separatist group that advocates the violent overthrow of the southern and western U.S. states, and had also received death threats.Two Mexican males entered the premises of KGEZ and demanded that another U.S. flag that was on a flagpole be taken down because it was "disrespectful". The flag was later stolen On Wednesday morning the station's ice covered 400 foot radio tower was scaled and the Mexican flag was hung in front of old glory. The Kalispell Police blotter makes mention of the incident but it has received no attention in the media.

We have spoken directly with Mr. Stokes and confirmed the details. Rumors that the flag was in fact Romanian are untrue. Police visited the scene and reported that it was a Mexican flag. Mr. Stokes confirms it was a Mexican flag.

Similar incidents have increased over the past few years. Last month, a veteran from Reno, Nev. made headlines after he took matters into his own hands and tore down a Mexican flag that was being illegally flown above a U.S. flag at a local business.

According to federal law it is illegal to fly any flag above the U.S. flag, and if flying more than one they must be on separate poles and be of an equal size.

The latest incident will fuel tensions about U.S. immigration policy, especially in light of recent revelations concerning the explosion of illegal immigrants now living in America.

And since cons don't mind causing misery to others in exchange for immediate personal and political gain, is that why they are against it?

Just after her husband was elected. Vince Foster and her Father died. Completely understandable. Yet, in the new book coming out they find it a conflict. More details of marriage problems. Not just any author. Is running on her strength in office another political sham? Just talk. And how balanced is the candidate who has trouble during this campaign now? I am biased yet will take constructive comments. Don't bother bash me. Just ideas as the news comes out on the next fews days about this one. Thanks for your time. ALoha.

I've been to a Marine and Army recruiters, but thought I should find this out so I can catch them if they lie to me when I ask them. Is it possible to get your first duty station in the enlistment contract?

I've heard it happening in the Army, and that you have to forfeit your enlistment bonus but that doesn't really matter. Under any circumstance, can you in either of these branches?

Is this the xenophobia that is trying to scare America the same way Bush insisted weapons of mass destruction?

I have no position on the abortion issue, except that I think it should always be legal for rape and health related cases.

I just wanna know why ProChoicers think it its wrong for someone who is ProLife to vote ONLY on the abortion issue, while organizations like Planned Parenthood and NARAL are making this issue a single voting issue and ignoring the much bigger issues?

And is it true that the state with the highest % of refugees in the world is also the one who is the most demonized (by the West and others) in the world, and the state with the highest % of people who came to settle there receives the highest amount of economic & military aid from the USA? If so, what is the logic in this?

Maybe because the "Surge" hasn't really worked? But then again so many in the Govt. & Media are saying that it has worked? But what does "worked" mean? Victory for the US in Iraq? Obviously not because if the US was victorious most US troops would be coming home ASAP & Bush would be planning parades all over Washington/NYC.

But then again does anyone even follow the Iraq war anymore?

He'd sick the IRS on you and have your wages garnished just so you would be forced to pay for government sponsored healthcare. Canada has proven the government sponsored healthcare DOES NOT WORK!!
