Politics in the form of democracy that we use today seems to allow a politician to promise one thing before an election and if elected do something different. Shouldn't we the people be able to make them hold true to the things they promised to do if elected afterall they are supposed to be our representatives in government. Do Presidents and Prime Ministers have too much power to wield? Did these same politicians get us into the problems we are into today because of their free wheeling ego boasting jobs?

Canadians tend to be a watchful and sit back give the world a chance type of people with a lot of immigrants from other countries. In a recent poll on what caused 911 they thought that US foreign policy was the main thing to blame for 911. Some of you will say, yeah well mind your own business but isn't that what they are doing? As neighbours to the US they are having to deal with extremists that either want to live close to the US for certain reasons or get into the US through Canadian borders so it is their business too. Do the people of the US control foreign policy or is that left up to the White House? Can the people invoke a change in foreign policy or are they doomed to more and more 911's in the future?

Hehe, I asked this to the guide and she was astonished...
It is a funny thing, because the land occupied by the United Nations headquarters is international territory, it has the extraterritoriality status like embassys have. Actually is no country and all at the same time... hohoho.

Of course if the parent's country citizenship is established by "jus sanguinis", the baby would have parent's citizenship... and diplomatics will want to finish quicky this mess this with that...
B U T what if their parents comes from a country where practices "jus solis"...

What nationality the baby would be?
From all countries? All members? From the 5 permanent members of the council?
Would he be the first and real International baby? The global baby?

hahaha, it is so hilarious this idea that I'm thinking of doing this...

What do you think folks?

After what we have seen of Bush, you actually think McCain is going to do better after he was voted out against Bush. Where do this people get their logic?

Most people in the U.K know that Blair and Bush are using SCARE tactics and FEAR mongering to gain support. The British pointed out that whenever Blair's approval rating went down then just like clock work the terror alarms went off in England.

Now that Bush and the Republicans are doing the same before election time, are we as Americans going to think that this is getting old? Is America seeing that it's a scam?

If you look at Bush's approval ratings you'll notice that when they start to hit rock bottom, we start to see false terror alerts and scare tactics. Look at Bush's rock bottom polls and do some research. You'll notice when they get really low you'll find out shortly after Al-Qaeda releases a tape, or the terror threat level increases. http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm

ATTENTION: This is an important message from President Bush. BOO!!

So many people want to cheer for their political party like cheerleaders which to me show they are uninformed idiots. Why do we even have canidates who waist millions of dollars campaining we should just put a D and a R on the ballot and just vote that way. Noone listenes to the other sides issues the just I am a Republicans and Democrats are ( place negative term here) and vice versa it really make America look stupid in the eyes of the rest of the world. So why is that?

I think war is wrong and should be avoided at all costs. However, there is time when war is the only answer. I support the Afghanistan war, but not the Iraq war. Plus durning both world wars the president was a democrat.

As mentioned in the above link, this uproar seems a bit out of step for the party of Michael Moore. It isn't like these high-powered politicians won't have the opportunity to argue their point on any of 100 24hour news channels, not to mention network!

I remember the Brits whining incessently about John Major and the Tories, and couldn't wait to replace them with Blair and a Labor government.
Now that Blair is showing integrity and supporting President Bush when the United States needs England's help, a sizable portion of the population there wants to cut and run and refer to Blair as Bush's poodle. What utter nonsense.

England appears to have a short memory. Who bailed you guys out sixty year ago?

The British better wake up soon - the Islamic threat that has declared war on the US has been festering in their country for years.

There will be more train bombings.

demanding ABC dump the 9/11 documentary if they are not going to edit out the parts that make him look bad? I imagine that would include his speech in which he boasts about being "that close to nabbing Bin Laden'" and probably the part about his man Sandy Burger "making an honest mistake" (LOL) by stuffing Top Secret documents down his pants.

Yes, I know it is early but I'm curious who will run for both parties?
Do you believe in the 2 party system? What do you fear/hope for the next election? What is important to you?
If you are a non-voter what would you like to add to the discussion? Why don't you vote? What is your hope/fear for the USA? I know it's a lot of ??? but I just welcome an open debate. Thanks for your thoughtful responses.

For those of you who have read my questions, you'll recall about a month ago I said that Republicans would be using FEAR and SCARE to manipulate America into their votes. I said the terror alert system would make a comeback, some so-called terrorist plots would be busted just before voting begins, and that Bin Laden would conveniently release a tape around election time.

DAMN I'M GOOD!! Are we being duped by Republicans by using terrorism for supporting them? Are mind games being played on us so we vote Republican? Is SCARE tactics being used to frieghten the crap out of us just before elections? Is this the "ace in the hole" the Republicans are imploying. And are any of you buying this crap?
