Ron Paul supporters PLEASE confess here. The accusation is frequently made, I wonder if they are right. If you have "stacked" a poll, please 'fess up. I am a supporter myself, have never done it, and want to know the truth.

I am a victim of domestic violence. I lost my job due to stress, lost my apartment, dont have any family in this country at all, no money and with the freezing temps had to go live with my mother inlaw. My mother inlaw got temp custody through the police of my daughter because I could not support her. So my daughter is there now so I can be her mother again.

The only thing is my ex is there. He has a restraining order and is not allowed to come near me. I should not be there but I have absolutely nowhere to go. Cant get help with social services because I am a permanent resident and you sacrifice your residency when you get help with social services.

My question is to any lawyer or someone who knows about this stuff is if he beats on me (lastnight he punched me in the throat and I got it on recording) and I call the cops can I get arrested for being there when he is the one with the restraining order not me? Thanks.

both Stalin and Mao Tse Tung killed so many more? My best bet is it was because of who he killed, what is yours?
Hitler 10 million
Stalin 20-40 million
Mao Tse Tung 42-63 million according to an investigation headed by Ted Kennedy..
Also Russia (Stalin) took over half of Finland, a little more then half of Poland, all of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and part of Romania. While Hitler, up to that point had only got the smaller portion of Poland.

since we the citizens here in the U.S. arent the ones that actually vote in the new president (the electorial congress does that- and they dont HAVE to vote the way their division does) does every citizen's vote actually count like all the celebrities say?
i mean, we know from recent experience that you can win the popular vote (the citizens) and still lose the election.

am i missing something? this is how it was explained to me.

and why cant we have a direct democracy?!? i understand that long ago it would have been to hard to count that many ballots, but we use computers now, surely it would be more democratic?

Hillary is a Methodist, and Barack is United Church of Christ. Do those churches teach creationism? Do those churches teach about God and prayer? Have Hillary or Barack ever communicated with an invisible being? Have they felt led? How will their faith influence their governance?

After 911, anyone having children in the U.S. should be legal before having legalized children.
What do you think?
This is not discrimination since most illegal people came on their own and wasn't brought here for slavery (like my ancestors were hundreds of years ago). All of my ancestors learned English, we carried it on, and we speak it today.
After 400 years of Slavery the situation was different.
Do you think it can be compared with today's situations for immigrants?

(According to polls)
GENDER: By far, the vast majority of Hillary's voters are women, of any race.
RACE: The only reason many whites won't vote for Obama, is because he is not white.
RELIGION. Most of Huckabee's (and republican in general) followers are religion fanatics, specifically Christians, who have no problem mixing politic and economic issues with religion. Huckabee's last campaign message is 100% religion-related, he talks only about celebrating Christmas, AS IF everybody in the US were 1) Religious and 2) Christian.

I'm a white Catholic, but I completely disagree with mixing religion with politics. I also disagree with ignorance-based, bias voting (women voting for a woman, just because she is of their gender; EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T LIKE HER, AS MOST PEOPLE); whites voting for whites only, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY ACKNOWLEDGE A PERSON OF COLOR IS BETTER SUITED FOR THE JOB, etc.

What do you think?

I have noticed for the last 2 years on YA a consistant Republican Question that reads "Why do Libs say ... "

Yet in all this time I have never heard a Democrat or Lib say even one of these so called popular sayings.

I cannot find any specific information, until we contact the Alabama dept. of Labor, does anyone know what the law is regarding vacation time/pay? My husband has earned over a week of paid vacation (per the handbook signed when he hired on) and his boss is saying he isn't going to give it to him because he doesn't have the money right now...he has been asking for it for quite some time and keeps getting the same response. I believe that by law he has to pay him the money but I am curious what the law says for Alabama. Also, what if he quits or gets fired? Any information, or websites with information, on this specific subject for our state would be GREATLY appreciated.
