lets instead decriminalize prostitution ( more dems buy p*#*y than republicans) instead regulate and tax it like any other business, that gets pimps out of the equation and lets the girls be their own boss. thoughts?

I got this great link from www.veteran.com. You follow it, put in your zip code and the site tells you how your congressman and senator voted on recent bills affecting veterans.

So many of us here are vets and care about those who suffered for our freedoms and are still suffering. This will supply the facts behind the claims that our politicians make in public.

Others who seem to love coming to the military section to badmouth the military will find the candidates they support as well. So there's something for everyone.

So, I have a dumb question. Right now my boyfriend is in BCT for infantry. I'm trying to prepare myself for the possibility of the big D word, but I have a few questions:

1. Should I expect that since he's infantry he'll probably be deployed soon (within the year)?

2. Are deployments never shorter than 12 months?

3. Any advice or info you can give?

Basically your right to freedom of speech extends as far as you use it to hurt someone/incite violence. Should the same not be true for ownership of weapons? You can use weapons as long as you do not use it to hurt someone, then it is revoked and you go to jail. Also is the supposed "safety" which we get really worth giving up the civil liberty of gun ownership?

A question for the police officers: Don't you feel it's intrusive to be fingerprinted for the application process, and having the government keep your prints alongside those of criminals?
Obviously, it is important for the public to know that the officer is not a criminal, but I don't see the point of fingerprints. Companies do background checks without fingerprints all the time, so it can obviously be done with accuracy. The FBI requires them for their check, but it makes no sense why (if the government has no trouble keeping track of you by name and numbers, which they do very well for everything else, why do they need the prints for this?)
If the FBI wants to keep your prints to compare against in case you commit a crime and leave them at the scene, in my opinion, that takes away your presumption of innocence that other citizens have, as most other people only get fingerprinted if they're arrested.
Just want to see what your opinions are on the issue.

He ridiculed Marshareff about being President AND being in control of the military about a month ago...But isn't that exactly what HE is? With the passage of the "Patriot" act, Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007, at a drop of a hat Bush could declare Marshall law for ANY reason.

I know very little about NIBIN and the IBIS, and am wondering if handguns purchased in the US already have their "prints" in the system, or if it depends on states or whatnot.

Don't most societies use a sense of shared values or morality anyway while we agreed that's not the best way?

cabinet members, and a close personal adviser who served as president. No other candidate on either side offers that.
At this time in our history, is that type of experience more important than Senator Clinton's personal agenda? Can we really afford a State Dept or a Defense Dept that will require on the job training? Does our need for an experienced foreign policy team outweigh social issues at the moment?
Your thoughts?

I can only think of 3 liberals in Government off the top of my head and one of them is a Republican Presidential Candidate...

Nancy Pelosi (who is becoming less so by the minute)
Barney Frank
and Ron Paul

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are not liberals by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd estimate that only about 20% of their voters would call themselves liberal... I am one of them.

I support some far-left policies on environment, gay rights and religious freedom.
- I think gays and mormons should be able to marry any way they want.
- I believe that a 0 tolerance policy should be made on companies that exploit natural resources in America to fund their overseas businesses.

There is no position on Iraq that would be considered "liberal" by its correct definition.
Also - Socialism and Liberalism are different.
I subscribe to both (to some degree) but not all liberals do.

So why do Republicans say "liberal" when they just mean "democrat"?
