Within 18 seconds in this video Hillary admits that under Bill's rein (for the last decade) they led the nation towards this war.

It was their "intelligence" that produced the war. After they downsized the CIA and military to "balance the budget".

I have always wanted to help our troops over in Iraq some how, but never really knew how. Then it came to me, "lets send them some goodies or thing that they need or want. Then the next thihg that came to my mind was how could i pay for all of this. Then it hit me, im in The student counsel at my elementry school and could purpose a fundraiser to raise money for this cause . I need your help with ideas of what the soldiers might need, want, and DESERVE . Also ideas that might make students want to help. Even if you do not support the war you can still support our troops in need.So please drop me some ideas.

If we have a fair tax instead of the IRS who is going to collect, regulate, distribute, and enforce it?

Ron Paul supporters answer
There will be an IRS, but it will not be as big as they are now. When they say they want to "get rid of the IRS" it is more of a metaphor. They want to eliminate the federal income tax. We'd still have to pay Social Security and Medicare, so the IRS would still be there to regulate the income.

Wake up people Ron Paul wants to double taxyou by decreasing not aliminating the IRS as promised.

We will be paying for social security, medicare, and have a sale tax added on that will more than make up for the budget. ISN'T THAT A GREAT PLAN? This guy is slicker than Willie and I would beg voters to dig deeper and ask more questions to this candidate. I know I won't vote for him.

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

I'm trying to understand this case better, but I'm very confused as to WHO are involved in the case (judge, two opposing sides) what exactly happened and cause the whole case to start and end, and why did it end the way it did. Also I need to understand it timewise, because when the case started Jane Roe was pregnant by the man who raped her, and when it ended, she already gave birth to the child and gave it up for adoption. So how exactly did it happen?
Please give me enough information that I could use in a small play of the case in class with my teammates. Thank you.

my husband is in the airforce, and was asked to be in the honor guard today. He has to give his answer by tomorrow, and we dont really no too much about it. I do know that he will not get deployed for one whole year, and I know that it looks great on your record...especially if you are trying for senior airman below the zone!

So, should he do it?

As an American President I think this is just kind of scary.... There are tons of pictures of him standing with the other candidates who are saluting the flag and he is standing there with his hands clasped. He also won't wear the American flag pin. Check it out

apparently separation of church and state is not an issue for the REV Sharpton, Rev Jackson, Muslim/Black Separatist Obama, or for Mormon Harry reid, but it is an issue for Romney and Huckabe.

"I Mitt Romney, covenant before God, angels and these witnesses that I will never reveal the First Token of the Aaronic Priesthood, with its accompanying name and sign, and penalty. Rather than do so, I would suffer my life to be taken."
From Mitt Romney's Mormon Temple Oath of Loyalty to the Mormon Church
http://www.rethinking-mormonism.com/mitt-romney.htm

Call me a bigot all you like but before I would consider voting for Mitt I would have to know what that “First Token of the Aaronic Priethood” is. I need to know that his loyalty to his church would not surpase his loyalty to the nation and that he would not reveal National Secrets to those who have no clearance just out of sworn obedience. One main tenet of the church is total and blind obedience to it.

My husband was in a car accident. No one was charged with fault. We are unclear if the person had auto insurance however, we are suspecting that he did not. It is a law in our state that you must have car insurance.

We were served with legal papers today stating he is going to sue us. Is there anyway that the lawsuit can be thrown out as he intially broke the law by being on the road in the first place?

We have an annual Halloween party and on October 26 of this year we decided to have it at a small city owned building. Towards the end of the night amongst all of the activity someone put some pizzas in the oven to warm some up. Well they put them in to hot and it started a small fire. Being stupid and drunk I took the fire extinguisher and put it out, but it was one of those old ones that keeps going. So, I sprayed it out then ran outside and sprayed it in the air and gave one last toot inside the kitchen for shits and giggles. Needless to say it made a big mess, we cleaned up and now they want 943.00$
