Ok...REPUBLICANS ONLY...and just for the fun of it...

Suppose there were NO Republicans in the coming election and you could ONLY vote for a Democrat...

Which, of the current candidates, would you vote for and why?

So my friend has pictures of a guy we know sodomizing another male----performing oral sex on the male. We were going to send this into the military.....Since we know sodomy is not allowed there. Would handing over the pictures to military people be illegal? How would the military respond to these pictures?

Bin Laden was a desgruntled employee of the U.S. or so the story goes. The U.S realises what the Bin Laden threat could cause and rather keeps him on the payroll and uses him to slam into the WTC and wreak havoc across the world. The U.S now has reason to "fight" terror. Kind of like Good cop Bad Cop. It's just a theory, tell me what do you think....

The person I want to marry has lived here since she was 3 and now she is 21.

Her parents are US citizens now but for some reasons I am not sure of right now, her papers weren't filed correctly or something.

So apparently she has overstayed the Visa or Green Card she came to the US on when she was 3 years old.

People usually vote for someone they feel close to, like a father or a brother if you will, it's not only the political ideas by far

So if the US population is only about 10 percent African American then why do certain people think Obama can win?

A vast majority of the 10 percent will vote Obama
A vast majority of the 90 percent will vote non-Obama

Do you follow my logic?

Pastor Mike Huckabee (a Southern Baptist) is currently leading in the polls among Republican candidates.

Considering that he is a fundamentalist Christian pastor, is he suitable to be our president? Can non-Christians and even Christians of mainline and liberal denominations (as well as "restorationist" denominations such as Mormonism or Jehovah's Witnesses which are frequently called "cults" in fundamentalist churches) trust Huckabee not to violate their freedom of religion?

Putting aside the questions as to whether or not Huckabee can win and whether or not he has sound policy proposals, does the fact that he is a fundamentalist Christian pastor make him unfit to be president?

Would she even be a Senator of NY had she not been First Lady?

Be honest with yourselves....

Now tell me what qualifies her to be the Leader of the Free World....Are you counting on Bill to guide her? What if he Dies?

Hello my fellow jury members. As you jury members might know we are here to prosecute a criminal who endangered two lives and unfortunately one of them died. I, Jeffrey Franco am here to put Alex in jail where hopefully he won’t commit any other crimes. You have heard the arguments from both sides and I hope you are going to make the right decision. If you still don’t know your decisions about the trial, here are my final arguments to support you on making the right decision. The following paragraphs are given to show you why Alex is fault of the crimes. Please pay attention because every detail counts, and when you make your decision I hope that you are 110% sure that your decision is correct.
In the trial that we are arguing over, Alex Flin is 100% guilty; we have gathered information from the witnesses that were at the party who saw everything. That day when Alex arrived at the party everything was going well. Alex seemed well at first when the drinks were just soda and juices. Chris states that when they were eating, beer was brought from the basement to the kitchen by Ken. Ken Conroy is a popular student who organized the party which happened on Saturday night. I suppose that Ken told most of the people that he invited that there was going to be alcoholic beverages at the party. All the people that were at the party, stated that when Ken invited them he gave them a notice to them saying that alcohol was to take place at the party. It seems to me that Alex was told that alcohol was going to take place at the party as well.
As soon as Alex started drinking beer, I know that he didn’t remember that he had to drive back home and drop off Anita. As we started questioning to him what happened on the night of the party he didn’t remember anything, obviously he was already drunk at that time. Alex was warned by his Health teacher that drinking is bad and how drunk driving is dangerous for the driver which in this case was him and how it also could endanger other people in the car. He clearly knew these procedures since he scored A’s on all his Health Class tests and he had an A on that class. He knew by that time that minors aren’t allowed to drink by law so why did he drink and take his chances on going to jail.
Monica stated that she asked Alex for the keys because she had a feeling that he was in danger because he was already drunk. Monica says that he screamed back to her and didn’t give him the keys to the car so she started to cry. Chris and Erinn briefly describe that as soon as Alex left the parking space he knocked something down which was a mailbox. When they were already on the road, Chris says that Alex was weaving all over the road. He also says that he was speeding up and slowing down as they moved along Old Maine St. To prove that he wasn’t drunk he accelerated eve more when Chris started yelling and Anita started crying with great effort to make him stop the car. Alex ignored these efforts and eventually crashed the car into a tree which was off the course of the street. This crash happened because both Alex and Anita were fighting for the steering wheel, but it was clearly Alex’s fault because he was drunk and because he should have listened to them when they started urging him to stop the car.


Alex’s parents have let him go to previous parties before, but they have never seen him drink beer or look drunk at all. My hypothesis is that every time Alex comes back from a party, his parents are either sleeping or aren’t present when he arrives because of the time he arrives at home. The police say that he was driving at 75 miles per hour when the speed limit was 45mph. The police also gathered evidence that his BAC level-Blood Alcohol Concentration was 0.07. Alex maximum BAC level should be 0.0 because he is a minor and isn’t allowed to drink. The police officers also saw that Alex had blood and vomit on his clothes due to the concussion from the beer. From this party he arrived between 3:40 A.M. to 4:30 A.M to his house because the crash happened at 3:20 A.M which is proved by the police officers.
When the police arrived at his house at 5:00A.M in the morning, his parents had no idea what was going on and didn’t expect Alex to be in deep trouble. Alex at that time was also confused and didn’t know that he had crash and that one of his friends was dead because of his carelessness.
Alex was behaving very negligent so he should be charged with the following crimes; criminally negligent homicide, vehicle manslaughter, and DWI. Criminally negligent homicide is when a person is guilty of a person’s death and the person was acting very irresponsibly. Vehicle manslaughter is when a person is acting irresponsibly, therefore he causes the death of a person and this happens when he is intoxicated, in this trial Alex was drunk. DWI is when someone is driving while intoxicated, in this case Alex was drunk because of the alcohol he consumed, that person won’t be able to control the vehicle properly and safely because alcohol is running throughout their body. This brings a lot of danger to them and anyone who is inside of the vehicle.
So please my fellow jury members I ask for you to make a wise decision and put yourself in our shoes. Do you think an irresponsible senior should be in the streets maybe causing another crash or killing someone because of his negligence? Please make the right choice for the safety of the city, you, and everyone else that is outside there living a safe life. Thank all of you for your patience and time.

when they were going to raise taxes on cigerettes, i wrote to several senaters, and asked why they were going after alchahol instead, i was told more people die from smoking than alchahol, aids and something else i cant remember at the moment...now, this just does not sound right to me...everyday all over the world people are being killed by drunk drivers, drunken fighting, drunken suicides, drinking affects brain cells, smoking does not. i never heard of someone getting run over by a smoker. police being called to disrupt a smoking party ( i am not talking drugs) so why the attack on smokers and yet completely leaving the drinkers alone...it just doesnt make any sense to me.

Senate Republicans are insisting that war money be added to a government-wide spending bill. Democrats were expected to agree, but the legislation stalled this week after Republicans objected to domestic spending added by the Democrats.
