US troops fighting in Iraq knowing that they would be in great danger to spite the Democrats in Congress or would he bring them home to their families & safety? In other words, would Bush play with the lives of US troops for his personal benefit?

the army in their support -- will drop off the remains of the dead at the nearest airport. What a dishonour to our troops that lay their ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you republicans for your support!!! You ingrates!!!!

Another fairness issue, raised by Rep. Bart Stupak (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., is the Pentagon's practice of transporting the remains of military personnel killed in Iraq only to the nearest major airport. Stupak said it "imposes a burden on the family and friends when they should instead receive our support." He has introduced legislation to require the DOD to deliver the remains to the military or civilian airport chosen by the family.

"You don't see anyone who has money putting their children into the military," she said. "I'm all for our soldiers. Without them our country wouldn't be where we are today, but this war just doesn't seem right. Like the Vietnam one. It's not right."

I know I don't, because I know that of, by and for the people will be replaced with of, by and for the corporation! That is exactly what is happening though! Under the North American Union the US Constitution will gradually be replaced by the Constitution of the North American Union and we, or our ancestors, will become nothing more than pieces of the corporate machinery.
This is not a partisan issue. This is not a lib/con issue. This is not a race issue. This is an issue of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"! Both political parties are selling us out!

Is this symptomatic of the man having principles that he actually believes in (no one ever seriously suggested this of Clinton) or is it something else?

Per the usual, non-answers will be reported. This means:
1 - telling me how you FEEL,
2 - ranting and raving (about Bush or Clinton), and
3 - not answering the question.

Now, the wack-jobs among you know who you are so, please, only answer if you have something meaningful to say - got it?

Pay NO attention to the nay sayers for they want the wealthy few to retain rule & control or things to remain the same! If you want a more progressive society you have to include more citizens! This structure is extremely exclusive under Fascist Capitalism! You would be reversing the roles making government & business under public LCM rule & control.

today many girls get pregnant just to get their free council flat. I'm someone who believes if you cant afford to bring up a child... you shouldnt have one. There are many families in the world waiting for babies to adopt, who can afford and will give the child a good up-bringing... reducing the number of chavs and the ammount of tax we have to pay within this country. I believe if you can't bring up a child without the support of the government... the child should be taken away.

Okay, I don't meant to start another political catfight on here. I'm a middle-of-the-road kind of guy, so I don't presently prefer one side or the other. I really don't know why such a significant number of people in this country dislike Hillary Clinton. I don't think that it's because she is a woman. Maybe it's simply because of who her husband is? Some of the really hateful stuff I hear people spouting seems to go beyond your typical far-right ranting. But whenever I ask those people (or even the less angry people) no one is able to give me any clear reason. It always boils down to, "I don't know, I just don't like her."

So if we could have a serious, mature discussion about this, I'd appreciate it.

I have recently paid off and cut up all credit cards. Do you think that all Americans should do the same?

It is such a relief to not have all that debt hanging over my head. I also pay cash for EVERYTHING now...if I don't have the cash...I don't have what it is that I wanted.

If everyone in the US was to do this, how would it effect the banking institutions as well as our society as a whole?
