Government - December 2006

What do you think of this idea? To stop the fighting you dangle a giant carrot in front of the fighters. If they continue fighting, they don't get the carrot. For example, you announce a $500 million grant over 10 years to scientists/people in the country requiring equal numbers of participants from all factions (as many as possible). If accepted, the money would help bring sides together for a common goal that would lead to development that would further prevent war and suffering. Sounds pretty cool, huh?

The reason that he gave us for going into war with Iraq was to stop Saddam from producing Weapons of Mass Destruction. However, he has come out and said that there were no WMD's. So he changed the purpose of the war to speading democracy. Do you still support him after this?

Here is my opinion and I will say NO and her is why. I look at my family, my ex wife family, my girlfiend family, and it is the women in these family that are basically creating the fighting and chaos and problems the men are usually pretty laid back. Another example is the TV show Everyone loves Raymond I have watch it a few times and realize if you took out meddlesome mother there is no show. This a fun question give me your opinion Yea or Nea and why you feel that way.

"All of us want to find a way to bring America's sons and daughters home again," Gates, 63, said after taking the oath of office as defense secretary from Vice President Dick Cheney at a Pentagon ceremony. "But as the president has made clear, we simply cannot afford to fail in the Middle East. Failure in Iraq at this juncture would be a calamity that would haunt our nation, impair our credibility, and endanger Americans for decades to come."

Sure, we have a great healthcare system in the United States.....for those who can afford it. We live under a system where the more money you make, the better healthcare you get and receive. We are the only free-industrialized nation, where we have elderly that are forced to make a choice to take their medicine or eat, because they can not afford both. We are the only free-industrialized nation, where we have citizens, who do not even have health insurance or the means to pay for healthcare. You may say "get a job", but in some areas in America jobs are "scrace" and not obtainable.....so, for these poor citizens in these conditions, the only solution is.....do not get sick or injured. Oh, yes, some have innocent children, too. So, I think it is time to stop getting so defensive of this politicial party and that one and "pull our heads out of the sand" and start taking a stand for those in America who NEED healthcare. So, you can either be a defender of "greed" or "compassion".

Does anyone actually believe that in all of that destruction, a passport belonging to one of the hijackers was found!!?? This just cracks me up. Also, when the Yankee pitcher slammed into the building in NYC, they claimed to find his passport on the ground too! I believe this was a clear lie, meant to lend plausability to the first passport lie. How some of you can still believe the official version of 911 is beyond me. Is it simply because you are too afraid to face reality? Are you genetically 'hard-wired' to believe authority no matter how absurd it is?!

This country is doing pretty well, but I am afraid that if we get a Democrat elected for President in 2008, we will flee from the Middle East and leave ourselves open to further terrorist attacks.

For the safety of our nation, I would like to ask my congressman to propose an amendment to the constitution allowing a President to run for more than 2 terms. I know this used to not be a law, but it needs to change, and fast.

How hard would it be to get a constitutional amendment on ANYTHING passed?

George W. has kept us safe for 5 years, I say we let him continue until 2012.

FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

We have Scottish MPs in Westminister who can have a say on English affairs yet not the other way round . Also it would put a stop to the Euro Fedaralists who want to abolish England all together and create regional assemblies. So i say a English Parliament for a independent England outside of the EU.

The word 'People' is used in both the First and Second Amendments. Yet, according to some anti-gunners, and some politicians and judges, the Second Amendment is meant to apply only to the 'militia', which they claim is the National Guard. My question is this: Why would the authors of the Bill of Rights use the word 'People' any differently in the First and Second Amendments. I maintain that the word People means everyone of us! Don't answer if you haven't reread the Bill of Rights.
