Look, I can understand why some of you are upset about the Iraq situation, I am too in some ways, however, I am a republican by nature and I will not base my whole voter thinking process on this alone.
What about other issues like taxes, and abortion.
Remember, Iraq is a temporary thing, abortion is always going to be a problem. Please don't vote against these and many other conservative issues just because Iraq is hanging out there. Way more innocent lives are being murdered every day than our poor American soldiers, and God Bless them. Think about this!

Apply all of the following to both the WTC and the Pentagon. Just can't wait to hear your explanations:
All those people who saw the planes fly into the WTC and the Pentagon were hallucinating, was it just a David Copperfield trick? Then there's all the people killed on the airliners and the families who lost them, that's quite a trick to get all those people to disappear forever and they must have given acting lessons to the families they chose to support the conspiracy. Oh wait, let me guess, those people never existed to begin with right? "They" (whoever "they" are lol) contacted employers and asked them to falsify records to claim employees they never had, insurance companies paid on claims to families for people that never existed and all the cell phone companies falsified their records to fabricate the calls made to families and friends from the planes. Then there's the air traffic controllers who were tracking the planes, all in on it. Let's hear your explanations, can't wait

O.J. Trials for Terrorists
by Ann Coulter
Posted Oct 18, 2006

The Democrats claim they want to treat terrorism as a criminal law problem,
but when we give them an American citizen convicted of aiding terrorists --
as happened this week -- a Democrat judge gives her a slap on the wrist.
Or he was going to give her a wrist slap until someone told him that wrist-slapping
was banned under the Geneva Conventions, so he let the wrist off with a warning.

Last year, a New York jury found Lynne Stewart guilty of helping her former client,
Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with his Egyptian-based group of murderous
terrorists, appropriately known as "the Islamic Group."

The blind sheik needed to instruct his followers to abandon a truce and resume murdering innocents,
but he couldn't get the message through because, by sheer coincidence,
he was in prison for conspiring to murder innocents here in America by plotting the first
World Trade Center bombing. So Stewart and a "translator" met with her former client in
prison and took his messages for transmission to his followers in Egypt.

With the full constitutional protections Democrats want for terrorists in Guantanamo,
Stewart was convicted by a New York jury last year.

This week, Judge John Koeltl -- appointed to the bench by President Bill Clinton in 1994 --
spurned the prosecution's request for a 30-year sentence and gave Stewart 28 months for
being a terrorist's mule. Now she'll clog up the criminal justice system with endless appeals
for the next several years -- using procedures that liberals also want for Guantanamo detainees.

At Stewart's sentencing, the judge noted that the defendant's actions had not resulted in any deaths.
I'll have to remember that in case I'm ever on trial for attempted murder. "Hey, your honor, did I mention
that the guy lived? Yeah, the darn gun jammed on me. Go figure, huh?"

In rejecting a 30-year sentence in favor of a 28-month sentence, the judge commended Stewart for her
"public service, not only to her clients, but to the nation" for representing members of the Black Panthers
and the Weather Underground. In a sane world, that would have justified a longer sentence, not a shorter one.

If only Democrats could turn the entire war on terrorism over to the courts, they could release terrorists and terrorist
sympathizers with wild abandon -- and Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton would never have to take a position.

When Americans are allowed to vote, a fireman's vote counts as much as George Soros' vote. But if liberals can just
get terrorists into the judicial system, a Clinton-appointed judge can rule on a defense funded by George Soros --
precisely what happened in Stewart's case. Note that even in liberal New York City, average citizens on the jury voted
to convict Stewart, despite her Soros-funded defense.

Democrats run apparently sane candidates for office, like James Webb in Virginia and Bob Casey in Pennsylvania,
who can puff up their chests and pretend they want to pursue terrorists -- while carping about any and all military action
in the terrorists' general direction. Instead, let's turn terrorists over to courts full of Clinton and Carter judges! Democratic
candidates get to look tough, and the terrorists go scot-free.

It would be frightening enough to treat terrorism as a criminal law problem if it were Republicans saying it. But these are
Democrats. Their idea of a major criminal case is Tom DeLay's campaign treasurer accidentally depositing a campaign
contribution into a checking account rather than a savings account.

By contrast, terrorists imprisoned in Guantanamo for trying to kill Americans must be treated as innocent little lambs.
Oh, to be there when Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman is exonerated due to previously unavailable "DNA evidence"!

After President Bush signed a law this week providing for military tribunals for terrorists being held at Guantanamo and prohibiting
their torture, Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin said, "We will look back on this day as a stain on our nation's history.
" (Note to Democrats: It's still too soon to use "stain" as a metaphor for a White House brouhaha.)

Democrats stood outside the White House shouting "Torture is a crime!" and "Bush is the terrorist!" Yep, these are the people
who claim they're going to keep us all safe, America. Everybody good with that?

Gen. George Washington tried Major John Andre, Benedict Arnold's British co-conspirator, by military tribunal and ordered Andre
hanged within 10 days of his capture. Nazi saboteurs, including an American citizen, captured on U.S. soil during World War II
were tried in secret by military commission and promptly executed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Nuremberg trials were
a form of military tribunal.

But Democrats think military tribunals aren't good enough for the terrorists plotting to kill Americans today. Liberals are going to make
the terrorists love us! What better way to start than with criminal trials in front of judges like John Koeltl?

I think that although many Americans claim they love freedom in this country, they really do not. In fact, if they had their way, many people wouldn't be "free" to do many things they are allowed to do now. E.g. abortion on demand. I believe anti-abortionists would not allow abortions to happen and that, if they could, would actually force women who don't want to have babies, to have their baby. Another one is: because of 9-11 many people's patriotism comes into question. Some say if you do not like U.S. policies, or the president, or anything the gov't does, leave the country. This is patriotism, but a very ignorant form of nationalism, and if left unnoticed can grow to fascism.

I believe that America should step back from war and lick our own wounds insted of sucking up to other nations (Clinton) and spending billions on war efforts on conflicts that do not even envolve us? I also believe that we should close our borders to Mexico AND Canada. Don't pull out the race card, jeez. Other nations problems ARE NOT OUR OWN!!! I am open to all comments.

Why are people against a straight persentage of taxes? Say the percentage is 30%. 'Max' only earns 30,000 a year because he dropped out of high school and works at walmart, after taxes he has 21,000 left. But 'Sam' earns 300,000 as a brain sergeon bc he got good grades and had 15-20 years of extremely hard collage classes and internships, and is left with 210,000.

People have complained that in these cases the rich stay rich and the poor can't get by but its like asking for a doctor's pay when all you do is stock boxes at waly-world. People are too busy yelling 'raise minimum wage' (not realizing that the prices of everything would just go up) instead of raising their own standards and taking a night class to get a better job.

Shouldn't you keep what you earnd?
