Politics & Government - 31 December 2007

I'm not asking you opinion of the candidates themselves. I am wondering if we have come far enough for this to happen. I've got to say I read some yahoo responses and it is clear that we have a way to go. What are your thoughts?

I will graduate in Dec 08' with a 2 year electronic degree. I will have $17,000 in student loans to repay. I still want a bachelor's before I start serving in the air force so I can be an officer. Under CLRP they will pay $10,000 of my $17,000 I owe right?

Is there a way to get the Air Force to pay my remaining 2 years college tuition BEFORE I start serving?

Hey, it is feasible. I'm just curious if we have a "tit for tat" situation.

The Shi'ite / Sunni / Kurd population ratio is about 4 / 1 / 1. And the Democrats are waiting for "reconciliation" instead of pushing for complete partition into three totally separate countries. Is this a great country or what?

For any of you who have seen this news from California, doesnt it seem a bit suspicious that Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, whom has been pushing for gun control, got Carjacked in Oakland. He was stopped at an intersection in the middle of the afternoon, allegedly waiting for a red light.
A man tapped on the window with a gun, and he got out and let him take the Car. So two days later when the police recover the car, it hasn't been stripped. The 22" rims are still attached, Car is intact, and all his belongings...including the cell phone, are all still inside.

Legitimate carjacking? Or Media Publicity stunt to legitimize gun control?

I live in Michigan. My bosses are trying to spite me since I gave a 2 week notice. I have a set scedual & work about 35 hrs a week. They gave away all my hours to other employees I found out today when I went to work.

I heard that there is some law that states they have to compensate me for these hours wether I work or not, for the next 2 weeks.

Is this true, can you help me?

For a while my ex had custody of our kids and was on government assistance for a couple years.
Now I have full custody of the kids not her and I am having my paychecks garnished to pay the state back for the time she was on welfare. Why?
She has a job making pretty ok money for where we live,shouldn't she be paying her own welfare back?
I tried explaining to the idiot I spoke to on the phone that by taking my checks to pay for her welfare that its taking from my kids who the welfare was meant to help.
She said the state requires the father of the kids to repay it,not the mother. (State:Missouri)
So am I seeing this wrong or does it really not make sense???

Governor Huckabee gave a speech in 1998 to a Southern Baptist convention endorsing the Baptist convention's statement of beliefs on marriage that "a wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband."

Do you think he will ever be able to work effectively with women in Congress and female leaders of other countries, given that he wants women to be subservient to their husbands? It seems to me that his views will restrict him from being objective with regards to women, their rights, and the need to help women of other countries.

Seems like in mid-July it would make the perfect target. Or is the truth of the matter that all of the REAL terrorist will be INSIDE Bohemian Grove in mid July and would never bomb themselves?

Why is Fox News purposefully keeping Ron Paul out of the next Republican debate? Who does the appearance of this respected, 10 year Congressman from Texas, with a record of clarity and constitutionality, with more money and supporters than any of the other candidate, threaten? What does this man have to say that he is being kept away from giving hope to the millions of America who are trapped in the current slavery system of this country?

the smoke nazis in the entire state of illinois (half of which is considered "the south," tobacco rich) are rubbing their hands together in glee and antsy anticipation of the complete ban of smoking at all restaurants and bars as of midnight on 1.1.08.

how far do you think they will get? do you think that all the tax coffers won't begin to choke "i want the money, i want the money!!!" when they are not receiving it from all the bar and restaurant owners that are going to lose their customers as a result of what only one part of our population wants for ITSELF?

do you know what will happen? up in the city of chicago, many different ethnic groups rent storefronts to sit and shoot the breeze in, whether it is about upcoming al-quaeda terrorist attack plans on us soil or other things, like their wives and mistresses. they speak in their own tongue in ratty and cold

WAIT! more follows below!

This person deliberately lied to a judge to block my termination of probation. She made one mistake. She thought I would not notice. I have re-motioned and feel I will be vindicated. My power is that I have been 100% compliant and am in the driver seat. I want to get her fired to set an example for a corrupt county attorney office. How do I sue her for slander or whatever on a personal basis?
