Other - Politics & Government - October 2006

Nothing has changed since then, they still stand where they did then, so has Amerca forgotten; increasing taxes, fascist gun control policy, secretive socialist healthcare policy and Clinton far-left leanings.

This scenario has probably played out already. A call from New York is placed to a known terrorist in Iran who is suspected of trying to bring a "dirty bomb" to the city. A terrorist plot is happening. Should the government intercept that call or wait until the paperwork is filed?

Republicans will say "just do it, act immediately. Thousands of American lives are at stake."

The Democrats will say "No. You have to get a court warrant even if there is a plot to bomb NYC, and don't forget to Mirandize them first." The Democrats are wrong; on terror and on taxes, the great strength of todays economy proves it. The Democrats are wrong for our freedom and liberty.

Nothing has changed since 1993, why would it, 80% of them that were in the Senate then are still there.

For the last 6 years Republicans a dream of turning America into a one-party state and it was a dream that looked like becoming all too real. A country founded on the idea of the separation of powers has rarely witnessed such a concentration of might in the hands of one party.

i mean lets take a quick look at your history, first you started exterminating the red indains, then the black slaves,then a small number of germans, mostly civillians,the japanese( i mean the two atom bombs dropped on nagasaki and hirosima) dropped on civllians not the jap military,then the koreans over a million civillans killed there,then the vietnamese(dropping phosperous bombs and useing napalm and agent orange on civillians)two million killed there,then the iraqi's (half a million civillians killed through sanctions imposed by the u.s then 650,000 civilians since the invasion of iraq.plus other conflicts you hve got your dirty imperialist paws in, through out the world.america was the first country to use atomic and chemical weapons on civillians so it is they who should be stopped from possesing wmd's and are a threat to world peace.every country has the right to defend itself from america, whether its protecting thier oil as in iraq or iran or other natural raw materials .

I have traveled all around the world, and while there are a few places worse - esp. in the developing world, there are many places better.

I live in Thailand, where the medical care is head and shoulders above the U.S. and extremely cheap besides.

I was just in UK visiting a friend. His son had an ear infection and we ended up at the National Health Service "socialized medicine" emergency room. The wait was not as long as my last experience at an emergency room in Brooklyn, New York (FOUR hour wait and it cost a fortune).

With so much of terrorism in the name of religion and with so much of hate created by American Govt in the Middle East countries and Afghanistan by their military action against the dreaded Taliban,is there any possibility that the peace loving people of this world,the intellectuals whose word is respected in the world,those who really wish that the money spent on war and terrorism is making the poor poorer.in the near furure you will be able to see mass suicides and deaths due to hunger if all these wars in middle east,Africa and Afghanistan do not stop immediately.We have more important matters of environmental destruction to address,so that we may not drown in the sea waters in the next 50 years if the temperatures go on soaring due to ozone depletion.
some sane voices to get together and make governments look at reason.to save the world,the poor?

He says that, if the goverment implements e-governance, accountability, transparency and zero corruption then the system will become so efficient that only 50 million people will be required to run entire India. 950 million will become jobless. So, corruption and inefficiency creates jobs and opportunity for people.

He got several strong points to prove his case. A manufacturing plant with 5000 employees is being run by less than 500 employees today as they phased out any direct recruitment for more than 10 years by managing through contract companies.

The bottom line is, automation increases efficiency, accountability, reduces corruption and drastically cuts down the manpower. I am confused.

Please give your view point.

According to this article found om MSNBC news site, Democrats have decided to target the personal lives of Republicans.

"It is attack and distract," said Maureen Donovan, a spokeswoman for GOP Rep. John E.Sweeney.

Former Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie said Democrats are dangerously close "to overreaching" in their attacks, risking a political backlash like the one that damaged Republicans after they pushed for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton over the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal in 1998. Democratic operatives said they are aware of this possibility but are calculating that, as long as the attacks are at the local level, they will not backfire.

I have read this entire article and this is the most juvenile attempt to win votes that I have seen to this date. Does this mean that Dems can't argue the issues, so they have to dazzle voters with gossip, innuendo, and half-truths instead of logical debate?

Iraq and Iran could not be and cannot be trusted because they are Muslim nations? Kim Jong Il, the not-so-mad dictator of North Korea, tests a nuclear device, his officials immediately begin threatening to use it, and President George W. Bush, the famed seeker of weapons of mass destruction, says that America’s “commander in chief must try all diplomatic measures before we commit our military”. Is this the same man who refused to give the United Nations time for more diplomacy, the weapons inspectors time for more probing and started a catastrophic war that has taken more than half a million lives in search of weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein never had?
