I mean we also sent Voyager and Explore billions km into space. It won't come backand we wouldn't be dependent on oil and could live happily without having to invade middle eastern countries in order to maintain our influence to get oil.

Every day Republicans lie about Ron Paul hoping to cancel Paul votes. I've seen this tactic used against Democrats for years, but I never thought I'd see it used against Republicans.

I (as well as atleast 5 other people) were hired within a 3 month span of time (approximately 8-10 month ago) and told when we were hired that a benefit of the job is that the employer would pay a percentage of our federal tax. While no one has this documented from the employer, atleast 6 people are able to verify it and management has verbally stated that they did say it but did not mean it in that way (now covering it up so they don't have to pay). It was initially presented as a job "perk" (as there are no others with the job). Several employees have quit over this and we are all going to be heavily taxed, as they have only been withholding 6% of tax (not enough to cover taxes in PA). Is there legal recourse?

Are FAIR and Numbers USA, tied to racist organizations? They have accepted huge donations from white supremicist groups.
They were the ones most active in getting their members to call in, fax, and telephone Washington this summer to block immigration reform. Sometimes calling repeatedly from the same household to make it seem like a lot of people, and even using threats and racists names against Hispanics.

COUNTRY ,ALL THE RICHER FOR IT.HA! I think not.I live near a large Somalian community,who dont integrate,multiply at a great rate,dont work or contribute in any way,and commit crime on a large scale.I and everyone else around here know this is true as we see what we see,so those worthless dummies in power really need to come and live in our big Cities before they lie to us all.Surely this cannot be sustained indefinately.

I remember that at the beginning of the writers strike in the 70s, we were all big supporters, but by the end the ultimate customers, the viewers, were extremely angry with the writers and their union. Of course, we haven't gone nearly as long as that yet, but I'm curious as to whether or not support is waning for them.

How are people feeling at this point?

i have stupidly handed over money to someone saying they are the landlord. They used to own the property but 6 months ago the house got took off my landlord. He applied for a court order and its just came through that he has to leave the property for 7.1.08.

Unfortunately, its not him living in the property, i have moved in and just found out and we dont have much money to move. Because the court order was for the landlord, can i apply for one or is this the final decission and i have no rights

It would be stupid to change horses in midstream and the 2008 elections are just an artificial timetable. Shouldn't we give Mr. Bush time to complete the mission in Iraq? Especially now that it looks like we've turned a corner?

Surely, you are not. So why do you allow Jews, another Middle Easterns, to be in the key positions of your country and run your country? (if you think it's not true do some reseach)
I am not against Jews. But this is America not the Middle East. If you are a Jew or Arab run your own business but stay away from the US politics. Otherwise go home, please. I do not feel safe in the US if a jew is in power. What about you?

Waterboarding, the use of white phosphorus, the detention of prisoners beyond the rule of law or in facilities worse than that of any billeted soldier are all examples of breaches of the Geneva Conventions.

These are well documented facts that beggar any countr argument.

The question is, once those rules are disregarded, is there any compulsion on enemy combatants to then follow them.

Ron Paul possibly not being nominated and running as an independent would steal a large enough chuck of the vote to guarantee a victory for the democrats.
