Other - Politics & Government - September 2006

. . . is not the point? Why do Reps and Dems hurl insults and denegrade each other? Why is this site covered with mean close-minded generalizations on both sides? Wasn't the 2 party system created so that 2 sides would be represented? Aren't the images of hate mongering Reps and flip flopping Dems partly tactics of politicians to gain votes and to rile up the other side?

Don't we have enough dissention outside of our borders to be encouraging and reveling in it inside of our borders? Aren't the issues more complex than, "If you didn't want war, then you're worse than a terrorist" or "If you do want war, you're an idiotic aggressor"?

Anyone have the answer? About a month or so ago gas prices were almost a dollar more per gallon than they are now. I turned on television like any other inquisitive citizen looking for some answers. The Bush administration and all the executives of the oil companies pointed to China. They said that the reason why we are paying $3+ for gas is because China has industrialized so there is more demand for oil. Makes sense. Demand increases worldwide, so does my daily commute. Well, summer has gone and now all of a sudden gas prices are steadily dropping. Gas is now about $1.00 cheaper than it was a month ago. What happened? It's obvious. The Chinese MUST have decided to all ride bikes and cut production in their factories. How else can you explain it? The Bush administration cares about the middle class American family that is struggling to keep up. They and wouldn't lie to us, right?

If not then what gives anyone the right to tell a woman whether or not she can have an abortion or not. An abortion is a MEDICAL PROCEDURE that should be discussed only btwn patient and doctor.
I am AGAINST abortion and would NEVER get one, but I would NEVER want anyone to go thru my medical records and dictate to me what i should or should not do with myself. It is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I am AGAINST abortion but I AM PRO CHOICE because i am not here to judge. ONLY GOD judges.

I am a Republican, I come from Atlantis. I was the one who shot Kennedy because I was mad because he wanted to pull the troops out of Nam. I have also rode shot gun on the Loch Ness monster. Me and my Republican friends believe the best way to improve troop morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans benefits and combat pay.

We believe in providing health care to all Iraqi's is good , providing health care to all Americans is socialism. I and my republican friends believe a President who lie's about getting a hummer is a impeachable offense. A President lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

WE believe Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because they're communist, but trade with China is o.k.

Please vote Republican?

Iam a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. I believe 9/11 was an inside job. I also believe in bigfoot. I have seen him. I have been abducted by aliens. They did surgery on me in their mother ship. After they were done they landed at area 51 and dropped me off. At that time Bill Clinton was there and he was talking to Osama Bin Laden. Who by the way is living in area 51. Trust me I have seen him there. By the way don't forget to vote DEMOCRAT!

He likes Bush ( a lot )
He likes war and troops and guns and stuff.
He wants to dismantle health care
He doesn't seem to like having a Governor General over his head and he seems to have a problemwith an apointed senate.

He had a fit when the leaglise mary-jane idea came up.

I am thinking you guys would like him and he would like you .

So would you take him can we give him to you ?

The movie Loose Change and others is wrong for this reason. They have no knowledge of how molten steel and concrete reacts.

Concrete explodes when molten steel hits its and it goes off like a bomb. I've experienced it many times working in a foundry and had to run my *** off.

So, those secondary explosions or puffs that those the film-makers are talking about is concrete exploding.
