Elections - June 2007

for Unions and more taxes. I can't understand what they are trying to do to all we stand for. Can you help me understand?
What am I missing. It sounds so foreign to me why these things are even on their agenda?

This is a serious question.

Did they have a big turnout because they hold elections on Saturday and Sunday or because they are more civic minded than Americans?

Obviously we can only replace 1/3 of the Senate every 2 years but in 6 years we could have a completely new Congress. One without the current good ole boy network.

the 2 party system is good but wars, no taxes for the rich and all the poor children left behind is not a formula for success.

Senators running for president this next election have made the comment “If I am elected President I will fix the health care system by….” Each of the candidates that is currently a senator is being paid a good salary and benefits that far exceeds the average man’s income, so if they have a plan why do we have to wait until the next election?

If a candidate is ineffective, refuses to make changes while senator and/or spends more time campaigning than focusing on the needs of their state and our country, what makes this candidate even a consideration to be president?

A privilege? It's a throwback from Feudal times, an anachronism.

In Uk 12 people are literally plucked off streets and sit in judgement of a person on trial. (exceptions.. SF etc).

They are supposed to be your piers; they are more often nothing like that. Take a successful businessman in the dock in his fine suit and the Jurors, all maybe from poor backgrounds who hate him on sight. Or the black accused with 12 white NF jurors…

Very few people understand Law and whilst it is for them to determine facts and not Law (strictly speaking) few can distinguish between the two.

Unless a person has similar life experiences as you he is not a pier. The US have a good (but often abused) selection process for jurors.

Better I say to have 3 judges, law professors etc who are objective, impartial and know the law.

Trial by jury is not a right it is in my view an ancient ritual which should have been done away with at the same time as ducking stools.

There is in the west a generally held view that the best form of government is Democratic, i.e. one person one vote. Frankly I agree with Napoleon who said 'Democracy is the handmaiden of tyranny'. Said it to me in the pub he did.

The problem is, most people who vote have not got a clue what they are voting for or against. Take the Euro, in the UK people do not vote based on the Economic or social issues pertaining to the currency, they vote according to their favourite Party and what they say.

There are people in the Uk and in the USA who cannot spell 'vote' yet they get to have an influence in how my taxes are spent! Why.

Poor people make me sick... They get to vote on how my taxes are spent and yet they pay no taxes.

It would be much better if people who actually contribute to the economy get to vote.

What do you think?

Whoever has the money for campaign costs can run for President ( president should always be capitalized just like Penis). Can anyone see the defects in this? I still can't believe Clinton actually weaseled his way into office and now Hilary is running? Good God forbid it.

I think to save the country we need to kick out of office ALL
(both parties and independent) incumbents. Start fresh.

Who's with me? Lets start a movement to rid the Senate and House of corrupt incumbents.

........... start making the Republicans pay for their sins?

By putting TWO Clintons back in the White House?
(Bill Clinton back in The White House has a certain reassurance to it, doesn't it? There will be a collective sigh of relief.)

Imagine the Republican gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes!

voted for Bill for President rather than Hilary because they know once Bill is back in the White House he'll take control again from an inexperienced Hilary? Remember what happened with her disastrous health care plan the last time she was in the White House?
