I really like Ron Paul and what he stands for....he seems to be someone who is real and wants to honestly talk about the issues.

For the Democrats...take a look at him too, i think there is a lot to like about him.

Do you think it was a mistake or just a reflection of what Pres. G.W. Bush thinks of our constitiontional rights, "Just a goddamn piece of paper" ?

I know that anyone with a PhD, or MD would probably be intelligent enough not to be a politician, but I would like to know what their address would be. The rules of etiquette would dictate that they not be called "Mr. President", but the term "Dr. President" sounds odd. What do you think that they would be called?

I want to know what they see as the future of free trade. Will the agreements begin to include protections for the workers in other countries? The North American Union. Can it be stopped? Will they get rid of the Patriot Act? I will find it difficult to vote unless these issues are debated.

...Didn't the Democrats tell you that the 20,000 would be too many, and yet not enough. ...That opening those "just a few more troops, I promise, just a few" floodgates, and you don't know where it will end. In short, didn't we foretell the future as to the bottomlessness of the pit of misery for the United Sates, that is Iraq?

We could gloat over being right -- and cons being wrong over and over again -- if only Bush wasn't killing more Americans than Osama Bin Laden's boys did on 9/11.

With the Colbert Report being the most popular news show on television, you'd think Americans would stand up for their freedom and say no to Bush for once. We shouldn't even be in Iraq, their civil war is none of our business.

I have absolutely no belief he will (Saddam disarm). This is something I have followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. There may be progress, he may be destroying the Samud missiles, but there is no accounting for the chemical and biological stocks. I just respectfully disagree about the proximate cause of any action that might be taken is. I also believe for now nearly 20 years, the principle reason why women and children have suffered in Iraq is because of his leadership.

The real question is how does someone bring about a disarmament of someone with such a proven track record with a commitment, if not obsession, with weapons of mass destruction?

This is not a Republican.

It doesn't seem that they fit into the Republican or Democratic party, since no candidate from either party claims to be an atheist. In fact, they don't even claim to be agnostic. They all claim to follow a religion. So if atheist want representation shouldn't they form their own party?

Bush vows swift action in FBI records scandal

ANCHORENA PARK, Uruguay (Reuters) - President Bush pledged swift action on Saturday over findings that the FBI illegally or improperly obtained private records during terrorism and espionage investigations.

Bush, visiting Uruguay on a Latin American tour, insisted he had confidence in FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, despite a Justice Department report of FBI misconduct that has sparked a congressional outcry.

The report added fuel to the fire for the Democratic Party and others criticizing the Bush administration for weakening protections of civil liberties in its war on terrorism after the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.

The report by Inspector General Glenn Fine's office rebuked the FBI for demanding, without a court order, customer records from telephone companies, Internet service providers, banks and credit card firms.
