Before the invasion of Afghanistan and then again for Iraq I wrote a letter to the President, my two Senators and my Congressional Representative... If we as a nation deem it necessary to invade a country, then lets support our troops by doing the following:
1) Increase taxes to pay for the war and reconstruction
2) Start the draft with only health and age exceptions
3) Start rationing to keep all resources available for accomplishing mission

If a war is necessary, then our economy and we as a people should be mobilized for it.
WHY DIDN'T WE DO THIS?

It is my personal opinion that Turkey should not be allowed to enter the E.U. because of a.)the still denied Armenian Genocide b.) their unfair human rights stance and c.) their laws on speech. Journalists have been put in prison for expressing their true feelings towards their government and society. What do you think?

No one seems to wanna admit to liking Bush anymore ... which is understandable ... but ...

was it a style over substance vote ... or do you just vote people in and then moan for the next few years ...like we do over here in the UK ...

Although ... no one thinks Blair is an idiot, its just the war that damaged him really.

I do!

If George W. Bush was paid more by the public in liquid assets, he might owe the people more (in terms of explanations and upright and honest behaviour).

After all, it has been suggested that good candidates just don't want to run for political office anymore because they are not being paid enough, or what they are worth.

As technically underpaid employees, politicians are kept in a state of partial hunger, on account of which they might turn vicious on the people. They could become like the wolf in Duran Duran's song called 'Hungry Like the Wolf'. When I mention they are technically underpaid as employees, I mean that they are underpaid on the monetary system. They are maybe trying to make it up.

I think the American public possibly should get together and raise money to impactfully increase his liquid assets through his salary. Maybe if the funds were raised through a registered charity initiated on his behalf it would be a good idea.

What do your think?

That's the Democratic agenda folks waste no time to raise taxes and create humongus Hoopla and begin "Ye Olde Payback" for Clinton being caught inserting $20.00 cigars into Monica's Oval in the Oval office...

Here we go, now the Far Left Wing Liberal ACLU Adoring Democrats will waste the next 2 years on committees and Impeachment?! Whoopee!!!

And lets all get ready to support, "Hillary's Hug A Misunderstood Muslim Homocide Bomber" program!

Wow so exciting and creative those Liberals!
