Our soldiers are getting killed and maimed protecting our country. How can anyone think of cutting off the funds in the middle of a war? CAll you congressman and senators to tell them to fund the troops.

Now that Huckabee is on his way back down, will the GOP give Paul a chance?

I'd give Huckabee another three weeks tops before his numbers start tanking. The religious right will do their best to hold the line but the real world will prevail in the end on the Huckabee issue.

Will Paul ever be afforded his fifteen minutes of fame in order to get a closer look at him? OR will the GOP political machine and Fox News do their best to blow him off?

Will you admit Al Gore is full of it?

"Al Gore is criticised for lining his own pockets after £3,300-per-minute green speech"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=500586&in_page_id=1766&ito=1490

Gore charging £3300 a minute to give speeches on this Global Warming nonsense. Between that and his hypocrisy over him using a ridiculous amount of resources on his own house you would have to conclude that he is a joke.

I know it doesn't mean the cause is necessarily a joke. But he certainly is.

Do you agree with this statement?

that if only an economy could be purified of any kind of restraints on the free market (for example labor unions or socialized medicine or history), then the free market would be able to perfectly gauge the value of any type of good or service, and therefore an economy would balance itself, and, most importantly, inflation would be controlled .....to essentially impoverishing the populace in order to bring them to heel.

If Barack Obama is sincere about wanting to reach out to both sides, why won't he appear on Fox News?

Barack Obama has a sincere track record of working with both sides of the aisle, and I think he is sincere when he says he is tired of Blue States vs. Red States and wants to be the President of ALL Americans. Certainly, Hillary Clinton has a track record of being divisive and has a proven track record of paranoia ("the vast right wing conspiracy" that she keeps complaining is "out to get her").

But Hillary Clinton (and Bill Clinton) have at least gone on Fox News, with Chris Wallace, who is anything but a right-wing host.

They are the number one news organization in America, far surpassing CNN, CNBC, and the major networks combined.

So why is Barack so afraid to appear on Fox News? If Fox News frightens him so much, how can he claim to have what it takes to be President?

I actually think they'd give him a fair shake. Many of their conservative hosts have even credited Obama for running a brilliant and honest campaign.

So why he is so afraid to go on that network?

Al Gore is criticised for lining his own pockets after £3,300-per-minute green speech?

Doesn't this show what a true hypocrite Al Gore is. This Global Warming propaganda that he pushes on the people is nothing more than a means for this private jet hypocrite to line his own pockets or to gain political points.

Al Gore cares as much about the environment as a shark does about saving fish.

Why are so many liberals and the mainstream media so in love with this idiot.

In 1933, Roosevelt, confiscated most of the gold owned by US citizens,was anyone paid back for what was lost?

In 1933, the US government, on order of President Roosevelt, undertook to confiscate most of the gold owned by US citizens and exchange it for paper dollars within two weeks. Safety deposit boxes and vaults were sealed. Subsequently, US citizens were not allowed to own most forms of gold. The paper dollars were soon worth far less than the gold they were traded for. I don't consider that action legal, and would like to know if anyone ever over turned this illegal action and recouped what they lost in this sham?

Why do so many people hate Hillary Clinton so much?

I've heard vague answers like, "cuz they hate Bill Clinton" and even "because she's riding on her husband's coat tails" but, seriously, why does that mean she'll make a bad president? Or, better yet, why does that mean she'd be worse than Bush?!?!

Do you think if those Colorado church shootings happened at a Mosque it would be considered a hate crime...?

instead of a tragic happenstance?
it seems if Muslims get attacked is must be because its a hate crime against thier religion and they cry that way...but if Christians get attacked its just considered part of life...is this just another part of the bias reporting against Christians...why is the media showing respect for Muslims not to show a picture of Mohammad, but an insult to Christianity is an exercise of freedom of speech...
