As I sit here and look out my window at 4 feet of snow I think to myself "man, my SUV sure is making it warm. Maybe I should trade it in for a Hybrid that doesn't have 4wheel drive or enough power to make it around in this incredibly warm weather."

Will you show Bank of America that you will not stand for them financing illegal immigration? If we don't stand up to protect our national sovereignty now, when will you?
And before anyone accuses me of being a racist, check out the people who are opposed to illegal immigration. Hell Tom Tancredo is a Mexican/American and he is leading the fight.

So, if you want to send a message to Bank of America, the goverment, and corporate America, here is your chance. Please, do something now?

He did so without even addressing the public. Secretly met with the leaders of Mexico and Canada and it was deliberatley kept secret from the America public.

Why is congress, the senate and all the major media outlets just going on like they don't know anything about it?

Shouldn't this be on the FRONT PAGE AND ON TV 24 HOURS A DAY? Is my tin foil hat too tight? WTF?!?! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

If our soldiers are fighting to prevent the next 9/11 from happening, isnt it our duty to do our part as well?

So if by listening to my phone calls would stop another 9/11, isnt that worth it?

Especially when theres too many men and women fighting to protect our freedoms and dying because they believe they are doing their part in this war against terrorists?

I graduated summa *** laude In May 2006 with a bachelors in Political Science. Since then, I have worked decent jobs but nothing with career potential. With a not-so-desireable major(and not wanting to work in politics), I haven't had the best luck find a good job, despite the fact that I frequently receive compliments from my superiors, and take a lot of pride in the work I do. Here's my question, since I would like to get involved in business, is it a good idea to apply for a lower-level job(maybe not even requiring a college degree) with a large corporation, and then work my way up from within? I feel if I could just get my foot in the door, I would be fine. Does anyone have any experience with this, or know someone who does? Thanks.

Someone please explain to me if these people just dont know, why they would keep supporting such blatant falacies, such blatant neglect for our troops before during and after their service, and how they still stand by a president who even other republicans are realizing hes not good for this country?

It really didint hit me, until today, it has to be greed!
People arent that stupid, are they?
Only greed would make supporters support such a villianess tyrant whos done what bush has choosen to do.

Someone explain it to me

There are millions of our fellow Americans who will go to bed tonight; hungry, cold and without their medication. It breaks my heart to think of one hungry, cold child, women or man in my country. It makes me sick that we can't even take care of our own. Does anyone know why our welfare system will refuse to help out the truly needy while there are some people on welfare who are just too lazy to get a job?

Building 18 by walter reed hospital is yet another perfect example of how our troops, who fight suffer terrible injuires and need rehabilitation, are not getting what they need with training, with equipment, with rehabilitation, and per my other question posted, even after death.

Roach infested, run down buildings is all our Troops deserve, when they go to Walter Reed hosptial, after proving their patriotism for this country's faulty governments leadership.

So lets tally it all up....They wait in super long lines just trying to call the VA, they have prescription costs being risen and patient care cost escalaing to look forward to with republicans new VA cuts to come, and now they cant even live in decent housing units while they get rehabilitated, for missing arms and legs, and everything else they come back with.

All this while 10 billion + went unaccounted for, and the many many more billion has been wasted over the years.

There is an old saying among detectives, "to whom the good".
If you follow the logic of this statement, was the purpose of the war to gain access to the Iraqi oil, or to raise the price of oil to the point where domestic production is profitable? The oil companies have posted record profits since the war began.

of Hilary Clinton. We are constantly hearing what the men think of her, but I don't know how the women feel. Men say mean things about her because she's a woman. If it wasn't her not being so nice to her aides, it would be something else ... her weight, or her hair, or her clothes or the way she walks. Men just do not want a woman to EVER run this country, period, but they would never admit that. They want to always be on top!

The technology for alternate energy sources is now available. If we want we stop foreign oil coming in, in 5-8 years. But the government is not doing anything. Is it possible that the oil companies have bribed the elected officials, and so they would not do anything to hurt the oil giants ? What do you think?

When it comes to politics, why does everyone have to be either conservative or liberal. Can't you just be an individual person with different thoughts or feelings all working towards one common goal? Everytime you hear about elections you always hear the same thing "will it be a win for the republicans or the democrats?" When the hell did we decide that our whole system was based off of blue or red? Can't you just be a group of people who agree or disagree on certain subjects? My problem is both sides need to just shut up and stop arguing with each other. If you just put that aside, maybe together, we can focous on things that need change. Pretty soon, it turns to hatred. I'm so sick of liberals calling conservatives rednecks and conservatives calling liberals hippies. Stop getting mad at each other and fix out the problems in society. Pointing fingers and constantly blaming the other individual or group doesn't solve problems. Remember hitler?

Does anyone else find this annoying?
