Is conservatism finished?
"conservatism was always a delicate balancing act between small-government economic libertarians and social traditionalists who revered family, faith,and values.The two wings were often held together by a coomon enemy."

If they just raised the sales tax, then illegals and off the book employees would have to pay thier share everytime they buy something. The rich would pay more taxes because they buy more. The poor would be tax exempt. Things would cost more, but we would take home more $. We would all come out ahead, except the people working off the books. It sounds so simple.

Reports indicate that he's going to stay on for at least another year. Why do politicians always stay beyond their sell-by date? Do they simply not know when the public has had enough of them or is it all to do with ego?
I and millions of other people in the country, this once proud and great country now laid low by his mindless policies, want you out Blair. Go for God's sake and let us try to regain some dignity.

Perhaps I missed it, but I keep hearing about how HEZBOLLAH is firing rockets; HEZBOLLAH is fighting Israel. I never hear about "regular" Lebanese troops, air force, etc. striking at Isreal.

Did I miss something?

If my understanding is correct, then one must wonder - why? If Canada (Mexico, anybody) attacked the US because an extremist group kidnapped someone (including rockets, bombs, and armed invasion), you can bet the George W would be attacking (and not just the extremist group that is targeted).

I understand that Lebanon is an American ally, but if my understanding is correct, won't this actually hurt the US? I can't but imagine that the general population will view the Israeli acts as an attack on their (Lebanese) territory, which should be defended by their government.

Won't this give HEZBOLLAH internal support -- at least they fought back?

When you ask a question about what side of the political aisle your on, the response is like I was asking if you believe in GOD or not.People are very passionant intheir answers yet some responses seem so shallow minded,as if their party is God and the other is the devil.

I heard that it was because people already knew what he could do so that it was safer to reelect him than to elect the other one who they didn't know what he'd be like.
