How much money should we spend? How many troops should we send?
How many can die before we "cut and run" like we did in Somalia?

Would you back the President if he sent troops?

Just as we can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater,or "I have a gun" in a bank, we should not use comments in a way that may cause harm to others.
Our founders did not consider some of the further connsequences of free speech. They could not forsee that T.V. and the internet would allow our comments to quickly reach the ears of our soldiers and our enemies and hurt the morale of our troops and provide propaganda for our enemies.

I always understood that one needed health insurance in the US, due to lack of government funding. Is this not the case?

I'm not asking it of any particular party... Just whoever despises private education so much, what is so wrong about it?

I don't understand why the president feels the need to build a fence. He says that it is to increase homeland security and decrease drug smuggling and immigration. I think this is total crap for the following reasons:
1. Drugs are going to find their way into the country regardless. All you need is a ladder.
2. Other than drugs do we really need to protect ourselfs from Mexico? What did they ever do to us? Canadian border next?
3. Why would you want to stop immigration? Immigrants do not really take jobs away from legit citizens. People always complain about it, but usually immigrants end up doing crappy low paying jobs that no one else wants.
4. A complete waiste of money, that could be used for lots of better things.
5. Blocking off rio grand from US citizens is rediculous
6. When we have helped tear down others' walls, what message does building walls send to the rest of the world?

I mean, you only spend about 13 years in pre-collegiate education. But as you live your life past that point, you pay for education through your taxes over the rest of your life. How long would you really have to be in school to actually make that "free education" worth paying for for the rest of your life? The government claims to require approx. $10,000-15,000 per child, per year. But how much does a private, higher-quality education cost a person?

I like the recent idea of vouchers.Where's the problem in that? At least then, the government would have someone to compete against and would make the education process more formidable.

If the Dems claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility and also claim that they want to raise taxes on "the rich", is it then true that they wish to increase spending and are, in fact, not "the party of fiscal responsibility" but instead the same old Tax-and-Spend Dems that we've come to know and love so well?

Not yet up to speed on who's paying taxes in the US? This page shows it as well as any: http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes

Academic and corporate structures determine merit. Would similar systems adopted along the lines of meritocracy over money politics and demagogues better serve the people, if at all?

(Perhaps a broadly defined meritocracy based on a tabled standard(s) from authoritative sources, subject to routine reviews, adjusted reactively and prospectively.)

Open discussion.

Americans have long speculated that Republicans hate the middle class and poor, but love the rich. The head of the small business owners department claims that "Bush and the Republicans have given out 75% of small business funding to big business like Boeing, Pepsi, Ford and a few hundred other".

These small business owners claim that Bush and the Republicans have given less money each year to small businesses. This association claims that "Bush and the Republicans openly admit that they are working to choke out the small business association".

Now polls done by pollsters including the conservative Republican fox news show huge numbers of middle class Americans feel like Bush and the Republicans are actually trying to eliminate the middle class.

The middle class in this country have said that they have been screwed by Republicans, in favor for the rich http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061027/ap_on_el_ge/election_ap_poll

Are Republicans looking to destroy the middle class?

People who have never worked and don't ever intend to.

Whilst a hardworking couple with kids who have worked hard to own their own home, but through illness or job loss find themselves unable to pay their mortgage will get judged "intentionally homeless" by the council and left with nothing - in my area you get 6 weeks in a B&B and then are left to find your own accomodoation (ie huge exorbitant private rents plus bond etc to a shark landlord for some poky little flat not big enough for your needs).

I feel that people are being penalised for taking the risk of buying their own homes and trying to be independent.
