Elections - October 2007

...I'm referring to those people who believe that the Republicans stole the last election? I'm not judging or saying I agree, but there are many who feel that way, and I wonder if they will use the next Presidential election to exact revenge?

Judge versus jury
Paul believes that juries deserve the status of tribunals, and that jurors have the right to judge the law as well as the facts of the case. "The concept of protecting individual rights from the heavy hand of government through the common-law jury is as old as the Magna Carta (1215 A.D.). The Founding Fathers were keenly aware of this principle and incorporated it into our Constitution." He notes that this democratic principle is also stated in Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man", Supreme Court of the United States decisions by Chief Justice John Jay, and writings of Thomas Jefferson. Paul states that judges were not given the right to direct the trial by "instructing" the jury.[118]

I've done A LOT of research on the presidential candidates for 2008, but I always end up confused! So please don't tell me I need to research it on my own. I've spent hours and hours on that, and I'm still confused. Biased articles, people changing there minds on things, it's hard to know WHAT to believe!

So here's a list of some issues & my views on them--

-health care- i think the government should do what they can to make quality healthcare available to those who wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise

-the war in iraq- i want it to end!

-gay marriage- i think same-sex couples should be able to obtain the same "legal status" (if that makes sense??) as heterosexual couples, WITH THE EXCEPTION of being able to adopt children

-the environment- i think we should be willing to spend money on protecting the environment

I know little about politics, and little about religion.
I have a serious question regarding the separation of the two.

Some of you know what I'm talking about, but out in my neighborhood we're having issues with the church next door and their special land uses (which they're not abiding by). Just recently they changed the voting of two precincts to be held at the church.

My question is this:
Is it against the separation of church and state to hold voting for a political position at a place of worship? Would the church not receive funds from the township for holding the voting of the precincts there? If they don't, I believe that would be considered special treatment by the township (government), which is also not exactly legal.

I need help with this. My mother, along with a gajillion neighbors are writing letters to the board of trustees. I can't necessarily do that, since I am not a township taxpayer or a landowner. I am, however, writing a complaint letter to them fo

I am sadly a Republican who thinks George Bush is the worst thing that ever happend to this country an is only second worst to Jimmy Carter. I believe the Clinton's are nothing but hillbilly Arkansas trash and Hilary would be the ultimate disater for our future. Neither the Dems or the Reps are concerned with the common good and only are after lining their own and their friends pockets. Will and honest person of modest means ever become a leader of the people. I do not see a single candidate who I feel is worthy. We need a nationalist party who will protect our freedoms, secure our boarders and make America the great country it once was.

I know that most people don't want to "throw" their vote away on some candidate that has no chance to win, but the vicious cycle begins when everybody seems to feel this way, and vote this way. I happen to believe that if everyone voted with their heart, their candidate might not win, but the peoples' wishes would be represented better on the big stage.

I did not vote for Bush, think he is wrong for the job. But does anyone believe that he will leave office with Iran having its nuclear facilities intact? should he?

All he has to do, between the election next year and when he leaves office Jan 20th is sign an executive order that Iran's nuclear capabilities pose a clear and present danger to US security, and one of our aircraft carriers can take out everything they have, including their Navy, submarines, and every nuclear facility they have. Will Bush do it? Should he? What do you think?

If you run for president, you raise millions of dollars. I bet it all doesnt get used? Do the candidates get to keep any for personal use after the election? Its funny that a surplus is never reported!

We all know that Clinton appeals to a lot of lower class citizens. However, many lower class people just can't afford to take time off work to go vote! I feel like a lot of people who WOULD vote for Clinton, aren't as likely to vote as people who want to vote for the republican candidates.

Honestly, I'm only 16 and I don't know a whole lot about how voting works. But it just makes sense to me that Hillary will be less likely to win because Hillary fans won't be as likely to vote.

Do you agree that Hillary fans will be less likely to vote?

I know that speech writers love them and Campaign Managers love to show that their guy or gal has a sense of humor, whether they do or not.

But it seems to get candidates in trouble more than anything else due to the hypersensitive waiting for ANYTHING to pounce on. What do you think?

what she stands for...and they can't answer it. One gay guy I know said she is not even for gay marriage so voting for her is stupid. I am really curious about this since Hillary seems to be all about womens rights and not about mens rights. SO, is it because gay men have more in common with women than men? I mean, straight and bi men for the most part would never vote for Hillary.
