'Well, Ted, my record of fighting for the rights of veterans, financial aid to education and helping the elderly is known amongst the voters.

And, as you know, I have been in the forefront in the issue of abortion and i have supported the troops in combat in the Middle East. Consider me old fashion, but, I believe in honesty and integrity and fighting for my constituents.

It is an honor and a privilege to serve the needs of the people".

Is there any truth to anything they say/promise or is it like what Al Pacino (playing Michael Corleone in Godfather II) said..."Senator, we're all part of the same hypocricy".

I am an ex-G.I., so, please don't be advising me to leave or try some other country/system. Especially when niether my U.S. Congressman or either of my two U.S. Senators from N.Y. ever served in the military.

Can we make our system work for us and not for those who are in public office seeking their own personal gain at the expense of the taxpaying public?

Should all Americans be treated like dirt and held accountable for a few bad choices the leaders of this country make?

Medicine Men, Shamans, creative geniuses and proponents of peace have all indulged in drug use as a viable avenue to enlightenment. What would be the result if Bush were to smoke the odd joint, or perhaps the UN or G8 share a bong over a political debate? Would our problems be solved?

It seems to me that when I go into the US either to shop, business or travel and talk to citizens, it blows me away. They don't seem to know anything about Canada and we are their next door neighbours. Bush had no idea what language mexican people spoke and they are also your neighbour. I knew people in NY and they thought Canada was a big mountain. How can Americans be so racist, yet they don't know anything about anyones culture but there own. Don't want to help any other, except when it benefits them. I'm not saying all Americans are like this but there sure is alot. I'm from Canada and things Americans say to me just blow my mind and these are business people, well educated. Well apparently not.

I'm Indonesian. I live in WEst Java, but for this week I am taking a trip to Sumatra, so I was extremly scared to hear that there was an earth quake(and tsunami) in my home place(6.8!), I couldnt watch TV(my hotel isnt exactly a glamorous one), so when my Friends called me telling me about the news I really panicked, calling everyone I know, checking whether there are fine or not. my question is, do you, non Indonesia people care about any of this? I cant help wondering, how evil nature can be to us sometimes, but how can people still do war, if there are actually people out there dying of natural causes?(not just the tsunami, earth quakes, volcanos erupting, AIDS, poverty, etc) how can they even think of killing other people with so much in this world going on to be fixed?

Anyways, anybody else wish this would happen so we could FINALLY see an impeachment like with Clinton?

Since Bush has lied to congress a heck of a lot more than Clinton, this ..... is all that is missing.

who do you think is behind the crisis in this latest activity? any single person/nation or could a multiple of persons/goverments be behind what is happenning. I think it's a show being put on for the benefit of other extremist groups who are allied wth, or, sponsors of extremism, as well as for those being recruited for the extremist cause. any ideas?

While a big real strong guy was bebating for President with the politicians, he got insulted or ridiculed by a politician, and the big guy walked right over punched out his lights. Would punching out a smart mouth politician make or cost the big strong guy candidate votes? Would like to see a smart mouth slimy politician get his lights punched out on TV for running off at the mouth?

Do foreign people (to the United States) really believe that all Americans are evil? I wish that I could go and meet some one from lets say Iraq or Pakistan and ask them what they think of us. I wonder do they really think that we think and feel as Bush does. Or that we hate them. I personally feel that all both sides hear is what the press tell us, there is probably so much more to the story than we hear. Please dont be hateful in your responses. There is no need for such ignorance.

Doesn't this only ask for more trouble between those countries that don't get along in the first place?

Is it because Bush is an evangelical nutcase who thinks Jesus needs Israel to be able to come back?

But anyways, why is Bush always backing up Israel?

If AirForce-1 was shot down over the Middle East and G W Bush was captured alive, rather than executing him as a terrorist, he was arrested and put on trial for crimes against humanity, what do you think the outcome would be – Guilty or Not Guilty.

would you vote for a woman president just because she is a woman or would you vote for her because there has never been a woman president, and last but not least would you vote for a woman to be president because you think her issues that she will fight for would be right for this country and why?

I would give a D+ and nothing better. We did nail a few bad apples in Iraq. We did take out the Taliban. Some plots were thwarted here though most were way over hyped, but not all.

But trying to give our ports over to country's linked to terrorism was crazy.

Taking most of our resources and man power to get Saddam and not getting Bin Laden is stupid.

Saying "he didn't care about Bin Laden and he doesn't cross my mind" was a slap in the face of America.

Diverting money from high risk terrorist targets to other targets like a mule, a hick town with a population of under 8,000 and a popcorn factory (not making this up) was mind boggling.

By not even trying to destroy Hamas or Hezbollah which experts agree have killed more Americans then Al-Qaeda and both gulf wars combined.

Using scare tactics to over hype the job he's doing and scaring us out of our freedoms (check out this video it's funny as hell).

Shortly after 9/11 there was a sudden Anthrax scare and a second wave of scaremongering by G W Bush pointing the finger at Iraq as the culprit once again.

Ever wondered what happened to that Anthrax scare? The odds are overwhelming in favour of the US government (read G W Bush) deliberately instigating the spreading of Anthrax amongst US citizens, causing the death of some, in order to incite further hatred against Iraq to help justify the invasion.

The invasion of Iraq, irrespective of how bad Saddam Hussein was, was nothing more than a complete orchestrated litany of lies in order to deceive the world, and in particular US citizens. In that regard, the US government lying machine has done a wonderful job, but it’s sad to see so many Americans so gullible as to believe the illusion.

So anyone got their own opinions on the Anthrax scare and what was the outcome?
