Because during caucuses and primaries, only registered party members are allowed to vote, and in some states, they allow independents to cross parties, to be able to vote.

If america never got involved in ww2? if germany defeated britain after the battle of britain lets say the soviets defeated the nazis and gained all of their former territory including britain and north africa. suppose the soviets defeated japan and gained all of its territory in mainland asia. could russia have been more powerful than america by dictating the world economic system if all of europe, asia, and africa were under its control? or could america still have the means to come out on top?

What are your views on America today? Do you think that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Bill of Rights and the Constitution would approve of America today? Do you think that they would be shocked and amazed at what has happened? If George Washington were to come to America for one day and spend the entire day in Washington DC what do you think he would say? Do you think this is what the Founding Fathers invisioned? Most important do you think that the people still hold the power, or do you think its all been corrupted, and we should just function as human beings and live with the decisions made for us?

Center for Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University--
"TV election news has been hardest on Hillary Clinton this fall, while Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee have been the biggest media favorites, according to a new study … . The study also found that Fox News Channel's evening news show provided more balanced coverage than its counterparts on the broadcast networks."

Also, where are they? Of course there are dozens of conflicts raging around the globe, but almost all of them seem to be of the guerrilla variety of warfare, or some other irregular type. I'd put both Afghanistan and Iraq into the "irregular" category myself. The only one I can think of that could be classified as conventional is the ongoing civil war in Sri Lanka. Can you think of others? Thanks!

My friend naively displayed an in-date tax disc from her old car temporarily whilst her new license was obtained. She was charged and pleaded guilty in a magistrate's court. She was given a conditional discharge because the court accepted that there was no intention to defraud. She apparently now has a criminal record and lost her job. But she can't remember exactly what she was charged with. She's sure "fraud" appeared somewhere in the charge. What exactly would she have been charged with and would this normally lead to a criminal record? Thanks!

I have been emailing and calling the American Embassy in Cairo with no replies. They are open Sunday-Thursday from 1pm-4pm and I have been calling at the right times, keeping in mind the time differences. All I get is a recording asking me to wait. Why will they never answer the phone or email? Has anyone else had this happen?

Ron Paul is leading in the national polls! 33%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The result of months of polling actual voters certainly destroys the phone polls the media pundits want you to believe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Robert Werden
(Libertarian)
The pollsters insist that polls conducted over the phone are the most scientific way of accurately assessing a candidate’s viability. This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. What it all boils down to in the end is votes. On Caucus and Primary day you cannot phone in your vote and for all the Ron Paul supporters you cannot click your vote either. You must show up in person and cast your ballot live.
The Ron Paul brigade has proven they can vote. Ron Paul wins every single internet poll as well as almost all cell phone text message polls after network debates.

The question media pundits are constantly asking regarding the huge internet voting and fund raising success of Ron Paul is can he translate his tremendous support into Caucus and Primary votes?

Well let’s take a look at what that means. To the media, polls are success. Polls determine who gets the most media coverage. Polls determine who gets endorsed by big names in both politics and from Hollywood.

The Ron Paul supporters have proven online votes and text message votes, but have they proven votes in person, where you actually have to leave your computer or couch and travel somewhere, listen to a bunch of stump speeches then wait in long lines to vote? The only test of that are straw polls. Straw polls are actually a rehearsal for Caucus and Primary day. They are held in almost every state and require a person to travel (sometimes hours away), sit through speeches and stand in lines to vote. Furthermore straw polls are also GOP fund raisers, so in order to vote you often have to pay about $35 to $55.

So now you’re getting to the question the media pundits are asking. The translation to actual votes!

There have already been close to 50 official straw polls throughout the country. There is a website that keeps track of these events and tallies the scores just like the Media and pollsters do. Now remember straw polls are the closest you can get to actual voting. There is no spammers clicking on 50 internet polls per day, there is no phone polling to the miniscule reminant of the decimated Republican Party. These are real people taking the day off to go and support their candidate. So without further ado here are the results.

Source www.usastrawpolls.com

As you can see the candidate with the most number of Straw poll wins is Ron Paul. Also notice that the current break through front runner in the phone polls Mike Huckabee has won only 2 straw polls.

Candidate# Wins

Ron Paul 25

Fred Thompson 24

Mitt Romney 22

Rudy Giuliani 7

John McCain 5

Mike Huckabee 2

Duncan Hunter 2

Alan Keyes 0

Now here is the really shocking statistic of these real life votes. If you look at the total straw polls and average Ron Paul’s polling percentage the same way phone polls are averaged, the percentages of votes for Ron Paul is 33.02%.

Source http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-poll-results/

33.02% is the media pundits answer to their question of translation to actual votes.

So if you were hesitant to throw your endorsement towards Ron Paul because of the Medias assessment of viability, your likely in a genuine position to justify Ron Paul as your candidate.

I say, welcome to the Ron Paul Revolution.

I am being cyberbullied all the time on myspace. I have never responded to any of my hatemail, I have only blocked them and prevented anyone who is not my friend to contact me. However, these boys at school have stolen my pictures and made a fake profile of me posting humiliating comments and messages. I have now deleted my myspace page, but I am terribly humiliated by the fake profiles they have made about me. I am also being bullied at school by the same boys. They have put me through so much trauma that I tried to commit suicide and I was placed into a sychiatric hospital for two weeks. As soon as I came back to school the bullying was right back where it started and the teachers did absolutely nothing about it. I had become very angry one day and I cursed them all out. They got no consequences for bullying me and I was given a ticket and I was suspended for two weeks. Can I sue the school for this harrasment that I am experiencing?If so will I have a high chance of winning my case?

The BNP claim to be patriotic, but they want to get rid of immigrants and the children of immigrants.
Prince Phillip is an immigrant http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page329.asp and Prince Charles is the son of an immigrant.

How can the BNP claim to be patriotic when they would deport the Royal Family?

coming into the military section and seeing a bunch of bull about how George W Bush isn't a good president and how 9/11 was an inside job? These questions don't have any military relevance and it is getting quite irritating. Anybody else agree?
