Elections - November 2006

we have municipal elections, then we have provincial or state elections, then we have federal elections. Would it not be simpler and less costly to hold elections for all of these offices on one particular day every 4 years, putting that day on the official calendar as Election Day, make it a holiday so there will not be any excuses to avoid participating in the election process on that day. Not taking part would be libel for loss of pay on that day. what do you think?

Edwards is the only candidate in 2004 that really seemed to have an idea about how Americans really live, and what they need. He was the only one who acknowledged we have poverty in America, and has continued to work since the election to make eradication of abject poverty his primary work.
In a little publicized poll a couple months back in Iowa, Iowa democrats picked Edwards as their choice for the candidate in 2008, over both Hillary Clinton and their own Governor. Would you support Edwards, a more moderate democrat, that really does have honest passion for helping Americans?

There are thousands of mutts and purebred dogs that look like pit bulls to those who have no idea of what a pit bull is to begin with. So before you rush out to vote.... keep in mind one simple statement made by this Rudy Guiliani " He has expressly stated that he believes Pit Bulls should be exterminated. He tried to pass a law in MF imposing very strict regulations against Pit Bulls. He has made no secret of the fact that he despises Pit Bulls. He wanted to ELIMINATE HEARINGS on dangerous dogs and let cities DESTROY pets without such a hearing." . First of all what constitutes a pit bull in his eyes? A look? Your breed may fall under his irration bull **** logic too if he has emotions like this as he stated. So where does your dog fall into this category!? Is it a pit bull? Or does it simply look like one? I don't care who ELSE you support for President, but I urge all dog owners to vote NO to Rudy Guiliani and to spread the word far and wide. We have a year to get the word out to dog lovers everywhere. DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - New York City Mayor Giuliani administration trains its quality-of-life sights on city's dogs with bill that would increase fines for harboring dogs deemed to be dangerous,[b] deny dogs any consideration for being provoked into barking or biting[/b], and require owners of pit bulls to obtain $100,000 in liability insurance before being granted dog license

I'm also wondering -- so under his regime, if a serial murderer breaks into your home and tries to kill you, and your dog BITES the would-be killer, your dog is deemed dangerous without a hearing and euthanized?

Hey everyone,
I'm a high school student and my history teacher has informed us that he will give us a literacy test that is just like the ones that people had to take in the 19th century. He told us that if anyone passed, they would recieve a prize, but he also said that in his 10 years of teaching no one has passed. I'm determined to be the first


So my question:
What do I need to study? I know that I need to basically know the federal constitution from top to bottum, as well as state constitutions. Will questions about the state constitution be about the state that the test was given in, or all states? Is there anything else?

Yes, I realize that this is a dumb project, and yes, I realize that none of you were around to take them, but if anyone else has had any experience at all, I would really appreciate it.

We won 51 seats in the senate!

It would have been 52 with Lieberman if he had ran as a democrat, but no he had to run as a independent.

Lieberman should just go away. Who agrees?

excerpt from link
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who was hailed as a hero for his response to the September 11 attacks, has taken a step toward entering the 2008 presidential race, U.S. media reported on Monday.

I grew up a few miles outside of NYC.
NYC was grimey....like in the movie "MIDNIGHT COWBOY."
(NY had 18 year drinking age. I turned 18 in 1969 and have been over to Manhatten alot. Drinking in the bars, playing old early video games in the coin arcades.
I used to cut school and go into NYC)
RUDOLPH GIULIANI Disneyfied Times Square.
Good for the tourist Industry.
Good for National Image.
He Cracked down and cleaned things up.

That's what the people wanted.
That's what he gave them.

But do we need these sort of leaderships skills in the WHITE HOUSE?
Kind of authoritarian.

concur?

the ones on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno that Jay grabs off the street, cannot even identify a picture of the V.P. of US? I think the skit is called Jay Walking or something, but does it worry anyone that these people vote? Of Course I think most would vote for Democrats but I'm sure others believe they would vote Rep. Either way it is a scary thought that most people cannot even tell you who the V.P. is.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Republican ideas, and I always vote where I feel the nominee is best for the job, but in 2008, we Americans are gonna have the hardest choices to make than we EVER had before in our American history. We all have our ideas, and our predjuices, and so the choices are going to be mind crazy. Personally, being raised with two older sisters, I feel a woman could handle the 'Presidential Office' I'm just curious what you all think, and please express yourself freely in any response.
