"If you're looking for heroes, don't look to me. Don't look to Elizabeth. We have support. We have health care. We have the American people behind us," Edwards says. "Look to them. They are the ones who we speak for. They are the ones that we stand up for."

in theory i couldnt agree more, the working americans are the real heroes. but why ruin that by being quoted as saying we have no choice but to raise taxes. since when is giving the american public less of what they legitimately earn, "honoring them"? in the same vein, why is taxing their retirement(scoial security) equating national defense to peanut storage through funding and wasting valuable legislative time in congress through ridiculous pork spending tied to defense honoring the american public. if anything its surely picking their pockets.

"If we are not their voice, they will never have a voice."

Apparently Stephen Colbert can't be. At least that's what the Democrats think (or know, because that's what they did).

Read all about it here, your thoughts?

The president and first "person" in the whitehouse are so closely linked that I feel there could be infringement upon the constitution if the spouse were elected. Billary was already in office for 8 years and Billary links her experience to the close advising and debating with her husband. Won't the same pow wows take place if she is elected to office again? Won't Bills opinions and pull be ever present if Billary is elected? Surely she will not bar ol' Bill from political discussion. He is a 2 term president with tons of experience.
Therefore, if his advice is readily accepted by Billary she could get the dynasty in hot water with the constitution, but if she doesn't take his advice she could be seen as stubborn and autocratic. I'm not sure that having her as president would bring any of the change that she is preaching. Agree?

Anybody hear about people in the U.S. being kidnapped by Mexican drug cartels and sent back as gifts to the cartel leaders? When is our government going to get control of the border. I am giving them until the end of the year and any federal incumbent that I am able to vote for that has not done anything to get the border situation taken care of will get a NO vote from me in the next election. I don't care if they are Republican or Democrat.

I`m an atheist so for me the answer is self explanatory. However, a person would have to be a hell a of allot more than an atheist to get my vote.

Would you vote for an atheist, and what do you think are the chances of an atheist winning a presidential campaign? Do you think its no different than a Christian?

he logic is pretty simple: no two countries that have mcdonald's in them have ever gone to war against each other. therefore, the next president should be ronald mcdonald. he's funny, successful, and has a great television presence. He would also be far better than the clown we have now (GW) and the clown we're going to have (Hillary). run, ron, run

Mother Theresa stated at the National Breakfast Prayer on February 3, 1994 to President Clinton and his wife Hillary that the "greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems."

I'd like some honest answers but please spare me the "it's not considered a child until so many weeks" speech because to a true Christian it's a child at conception!

I own two houses in seperate school districts, both of the school districts are having a special election in regards to school revenue. I want to vote in both of the elections but they told me I can only vote in my primary residence and not the other. I pay property tax on both houses so why can I not vote on each of the referendums? Voting will decide if an increase in your property tax will take affect. It just seems you should be able to vote on the issue regardless of your primary residence. Does anyone have an idea on this or know the law? The houses are located in Minnesota. Any legal help would be great. Thanks.

Hillary Mulls Supporting Illegal Alien Pilot License
by Scott Ott

(2007-11-01) — As Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to work round the clock with advisers to determine exactly how she feels about granting automobile driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, the Senator today announced she may support New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer’s new proposal to allow undocumented workers to receive airline transport pilot certification from the FAA, allowing them to fly commercial jets.

“Giving a pre-documented immigrant a license to fly a jumbo jet would certainly bring him out of the shadows,” said Sen. Clinton. “In addition, since the flight certificate requires fluency in English, it would inspire him to learn one of our nation’s most important languages. So there’s a big potential upside.”

Although the senator said she had some concerns about national security, she also noted that “If the pilots of the four planes that crashed on 9/11 had applied for licenses, someone

Here is an assignment essay that i desperately need help with, i need educated answers please. Any help will be greatly appreciated; if anyone cares, they will get the best answer if they answer the whole question.
1.Name the three most important issues that you believe the 44th President of the United States should address.

2.Take one the issues that you previously mentioned and discuss what should be done to address the issue. (ie: If you picked health care as one of your three issues, then you could mention that America should implement a universal health care plan. However, please be as detailed as possible, as many students may choose the same issue to address.)

3.Lastly, identify which candidate you believe will be the 44th President of the United States and why you believe he/she will be victorious.
