I suspect that Rudy Giuliani is because the liberal media seems to be doing everything possible to prevent him from receiving the Republican nomination. They seldom ever mention the fact that he sent members of the mafia to prison when he worked as a federal prosecutor in New York. Which of the three do you believe will be less likely to increase the amount of federal income taxes that you pay each year?

Drugs were found in a vehicle after a random traffic stop, they found drugs in the vehicle, but not on the driver, who was driving a friends car. It's basically choosing a good attorney with experience vs public defender just out of law school.

that do not consider themselves to be very religious or at least their political views aren't influenced by their religious views? And consider the moral social issues (abortion, gay marriage) to have little to no importance or relevance in politics?

Personally I could care less about those issues, and I don't think it's really any of the presidents or the federal governments business. I think it's wrong for both the religious right and the secular left to invoke the federal government to enact their views (unconstitutional to leave it up to the federal government to decide for all states weather abortion should be legal or illegal.) Decisions like this, should be left up to the individual states to decide for themselves. Just like our federalist system of government is suppose to work. Imo, these issues shouldn't even have an impact on presidential candidates, but I guess that's just me.

Why have so many people lost sight of federalism?

My son, who is 12, does not want to go to his dad's anymore. The man is so mean, controlling,obscene and smokes pot in the house. My son is terrified to tell him that he does not want to be there because his dad is emotionally abusive and scary! He already kicked his own daughter out of the house and she moved in with me. This is HIS daughter!!!!

Are there any legal ramifications? My son is of age...I think. Can he just say he doesn't want to go or will his dad have the right to force the court order on him? I can't see law enforcement making a 12 year old boy go to his dad. But I want the facts before we go forth. Thank you in advance.

I was just wondering are there HIPAA laws in England??? If not are there any similar laws that prevent just anyone from acquiring protected health information (PHI) on a patient. As the law goes in the states, not just anyone can gain access to a person's PHI without a valid written release form signed by the patient.Also hospital staff are not authorized to release information via telephone about the condition and or diagnosis of a patient that has been in that facility even if it is the patient calling themselves. I recently got a complaint from a guy in england who was calling to ask the condition of his brother who was here at the hospital i work at in the U.S. Both he and his brother are from England. and he went on a tagent about how Americans are idiots and how he didn't understand why i couldn't release that information on his brother. blah blah blah... long story short he was furious!!! i was just wondering if this is just a U.S. thing.

My permanent address is in NJ, but I'm currently living in the RI for college. I graduate in Feb 2008. Once I graduate I could be living in either NJ, RI, or MA. Which state should I be registering in? I'm assuming I can only vote in the state I'm registered for...right?

I really want to be able to vote for the upcoming presidency. Should I wait till I'm graduated and hopefully know where I'll be working/staying?

Why do liberals think it is OK to abort an 8 month old baby (late term abortion) that could obviously survive outside the womb?

Isn't this essentially murder? If so, how can liberals morally justify this?

Questions are found frequently here on this Forum from American voters - probably most are first timers - some very basic features of the Election process. For a society which is well educated, it looks strange how they are not informed. Can some one, well informed on the subject, squeezes some time to give in simple and lucid manner the pertinent information for the benefite of such sections of people.

Wed., Dec. 26, 2007
NEW YORK - U.S. home prices fell in October for the 10th consecutive month, posting their largest drop since early 1991, according to a key index released Wednesday.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22397888/

Considering these are the markets that home prices doubled in a three to five year period. The outrageous prices led to the outrageous lending/borrowing practices. I personally have been hoping for a correction in the over inflated market areas.

Do you agree or disagree and why?

Terrorisim - real or imagined government sponsored homegrown nut bar or imported nut - It is a problem and one the doesn't look like it is going to be fixed soon

World war - some big nations have started to flex their arms , postures have been taken and a lot of our leaders appear to have painted themselves into a corner -

Russia Iran China leveled threats - Israel the US Iraq Afganistan and more I am sure are presenting problems of different sorts but all at the same time - Oh and North Korea lets not forget them or Pakistan

Economic collapses world war terror, nukes and so on have been an increaseing problem - as are weather problems - religous zealots of all persuations -

-------------

I am not trying to take a position on any of these things just provide a recent overview we should all be more than aware of
----------

Are we as a species almost over ?

What is our likely future short and long term - Or are we all fully loaded into the handbasket ?
