Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

In a little more than two weeks, when the Democrats take back America, will all that hot air be released from the Republican stuffed shirts?

Or will they complain when they are not allowed to steal the food out of little children's mouths so they can give it to rich greedy corporations like Halliburton, Mobil/Exxon, and Raytheon?

Since two days I read the questions and the answers here on yahoo clever America. My english isn't so good, and I often search for words. But I see there are discussions about the abilities of your President. I know, the USA has a lot of different countries and different people and of course different opinions.
I don't like to have prejudice and therefore I want to read your opinion. Please tell me, why do you think, he is a good or a bad president.
I think, he is not the best one of all your presidents. Since the last 50 years for me it was John F. Kennedy.

1. Remove Rumsfeld and change strategies
2. Pull out now and leave Iraq to fall into civil war
3. Add more troops to reinforce the ones already there
4. Separate the Sunni, Shiites, etc
5. Etc....

In pre election 2000 Bush was quoted as saying.
"he thinks God wants him to run for President"

In the 2003 election debates in October, Bush played the religion card again, by saying " that God loves us and he loves us and God told him to invade Iraq.

In 2005 it was reported that Bush told Palestine leaders that he was on a mission from God and he was told to invade Iraq.

Then we have the whitehouse denying such quotes and accusing Palestine leaders of fibbing.

Here's the problem I and many others remember his election debate response in the debate with John Kerry in 2004. Yes Bush did say it, and it was big news all over.

Bush believes he is the chosen one? Why would Bush be picked? What is so special about him?

I had a talk with God to and guess what he told me not to vote for the GOP because they are proverbial liars.

Your thoughts!

This isn't my actual question. My REAL question is, am I missing something? Someone who's FOR Affirmative Action, please tell me what some more pros are, because I'm just not seeing them.
Pros:
It gives minorities a chance that they probably would not have received otherwise, which is great. Affirmative Action came at a time when it was sorely needed. However:
Cons:
1. Too many take advantage of the system.
2. It makes my friends who are minorities wonder if they got a job because they're a minority, or because they're qualified for it.
3. Most employers in most areas will no longer refuse a job due to the color of someone's skin.
4. A person who is a minority would not know if the person who employed them was racist or not, because of Affirmative Action.
There are more but I can't think of any right now. Can anyone help me out, explain to me how Affirmative Action is better than I think it is?

A recently was speaking to a political candidate who mentioned that his greatest number of votes came from immigrants. He said that they were easy votes because he only had to tell them that he would grant special attention to their nationality, and they would vote on mass for him. He said they didn't express any interest in the usual topics of the day like taxes, economy, etc., only that a candidate was for their people.

Has anyone else noticed this, or was this just one guy's opinion???

Ok I know it sounds stupid but...I just wondered, besides the fact that humans just seem to be out to kill others sometimes...what if instead of wars with...real guns, bombs, tanks, etc...we had paintball...really stupid i know but i think it would work because i know not everyone would accept but it would be which ever country has the most people down by the end of the day, week, etc...loses...very utopian to even think it would actually be accepted by everyone... but what would some of you think if this was actually considered by govts?
