Other - Politics & Government - September 2006

My background. The first President I ever voted for was President Kennedy. So now you've dated me.

I don't know if it is just the years have passed, but the only Democratic President, or even candidate for that matter, I loved, was Kennedy.

President Johnson kind of went insane as President, but many of you are too young to remember.

President Carter was a kneejerk reaction and he was at best OK.

Do you think that President Clinton will follow in the footsteps of Carter. I think Carter has done great charity since leaving office but has become emotionally unstable when speaking in public.

Question: Do you think that President Clinton will go on to do great charity but look a little insane in public on non-charity issues?

I voted for him twice but he really is vain to the point of being a little nuts. No Republican rants or silliness please. I want to know about your thoughts on President Clinton's future.

The government seems to think it's going to be okay with everyone----check out this website (scroll down to the article that says "No warrant? No Search") and email your senate to tell them that you value your 4th ammendment rights!

We see how the White House is reacting to the National Intelligence Assessment--by defending the war in Iraq as 'an effort to take the offensive in the war on terror...to bring the fight to the enemy'.
I would especially like to hear from those who support the president's claim here and the war generally. How is the recent comprehensive intelligence report claiming that this 'strategy' is actually COUNTERproductive "wrong"?
Where has their reasoning and analysis missed something about how Iraq has actually served to recruit for and strengthen the radical islam and anti-western sentiment?
And even if you disagree with the Bush administration's position on this comprehensive and non-partisan assessment of the effect of the Iraq war, do you think that the Bush folks themselves really believe that the war has been helpful in the fight against terrorism?

Has the media been affected by capitalism and, as a consequence, its status as a pivotal element in democracy undermined?

What ever happened to reporting the news instead of telling us what we should think of the news? Aren’t people capable of listening, pondering and coming to their own conclusions without reading Jeremy Clarkson's viewpoint in the Daily Mail? What do you guys think and what do you think the extent of the media's power is?

Reworking an old classic question (apologies!). As the troubles in Ulster have simmered down, I was wondering if Northern Ireland would simply settle into devolved government within the U.K. or whether it's just the first step towards reunification with the Republic. Particularly keen to hear Northern Irish opinion on this if you're reading this, but other Brits and Irish (& others!) please feel free to add your twopenny worth.

As someone that has both British & Irish parentage, I guess I feel pretty ambivalent towards the issue. Whatever makes the region happiest, stable and peaceful is the most important thing. Though, I don't know whether independence would work completely as N.I. would likely become an even smaller European country like Andorra or Moldova in economic and political terms. What do you reckon?

[P.S. Remember the last time Northern Ireland played England as well as Spain in a competitive football international?...]

That our current president did the wrong thing by going after and capturing Saddam Hussein???
Yes I know we should have gone after Osama but I believe Saddam holds the same power and thoughts.

Once again, lies, lies, lies.
It was the "I-did-not-have-sexual-relations..." thing all over again.

And I knew he had trouble keeping his hands off of women, but you would think he could keep them off of Chris Wallace's lap!

There is an old quote that goes something like this...
"Bill Clinton may not be the worst president we have ever had, but he is the worst person we have ever had as president." I totally agree.

If the 3 main parties are not worth voting for is it OK to vote for the BNP or UKIP as a protest vote...........or would proportional representation be a better way, then each vote would count and perhaps the different parties would try to become more relevant to the public.........discuss !

Muslim mob reacted to the row over the Prophet Muhammad cartoons on the streets of London by waving banners and shouting “Britain you will pay — 7/7 is on its way.” Now stop me if i'm wrong but these clearly are threats being made. Have the police no power to arrest the anti-british protesters? Why don't the baying mob get on a plane/boat whatever...and leave Britain for good?

It's amazing that after all he's done, you still have supporters out there. Unbelievable. Appealing to the lowest possible common denominator. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups-ahem-Republicans. Let's see how many stupids I get engraged. This should be interesting.

They are completely ineffectual, noisy, obnoxious little pests. They aren't happy unless they are whining about something somebody else has done, bleating about how important it is to impose mind-buggeringly petty limitations on our lifestyles that somehow never seem to personally apply to them. They are humourless, pompous, self-important egotistical gobshites with nothing useful whatseover to say. I am sure there is a place for these malodorous, sandal-clad layabouts but it isn't in this continent and probably not even on this planet. Surely there is some way of putting an end to their inconsequential, irrelevant twitterings?
