I believe if some one is convicted of molesting a child they should get life with no parole, ever.

I believe taxes should be lower because so much money is wasted on pork barrel projects and if gov. had less money it would be forced to spend it more wisely and that tax returns should be one page and be completed in five minutes or less.

Dependency on foreign oil is a national security issuse and should be treated that way by congress and the president.

All nonviolent drug offenders should be set free and drug addiction should be treated as a medical problem not a legal problem. Marijuana should be legal and treated like alcohol.

Abortion should be legal, but government should do everything it can to lower the number. Including better education and contraceptives.

We should not sell weapons to any other country.

We should pressure Israel at least somewhat to achieve middle east peace. We should treat all partys the same way at the peace table.

how can any rational human being consider what's going on in Iraq spreading democracy? Why do they have to lie so much? They should just come clean and say why they really send our troops to war and to die unnecessarily . Bush should just admit that the war in Iraq is just part of a much larger plan for U.S. nationalistic supremacy.

I took my daughter for her first dental exam today. She's three.
We are fairly new to the area, so I had never visited this particular clinic before. I chose it because it was on the list of dentists in my area that our insurance covers and they could get us in the soonest. When I scheduled the appointment, I made it clear that she was very little and had not ever been to a dentist before. They said they wanted her to watch me have my teeth cleaned and then they'd do her. I told them I didn't think this would work, but they insisted that's how they do it so I went along with them. When we got to the clinic, we waited over an hour and she was getting tired from waiting when they finally took us to the exam room. They wanted her to sit on the floor. I said "No I don't think she's gonna sit on the floor, and she's tired. Just do her exam and I'll reschedule mine." The doctor started chuckling and said it was amusing someone with a "chubby kid" was so afraid of germs...

OK, I have been guilty of this before, but there are people on both sides who claim that the other side "hates America".

The Liberals hate America because they're "wimps and friends of terrorists"
The Conservatives hate America because they're "greedy businessmen and racists"

But do any of us REALLY hate America? I know I don't. Except for a VERY few amount of people in this country, we all love America. Heck, I'll bet even those nutty conspiracy theorists are glad to live here.

We need to quit letting all this political B.S. get in the way of our country. We have let politicians erode our rights and our way of life for so long, it will soon be gone.

In the next election, vote for a candidate who is good for AMERICA, not good for some other country!!

We all love America, we just all have different opinions on how to make it a greater country. Except my opinion's better.
He he he!

...And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

I have repeatedly heard comments about how the administration linked Iraq to 9/11 to justify the war. However, I don't recall them EVER specifcally making that link. I am well informed and keep up on the news, and as I recall it was all about containing Saddam and his WMDs - not anything to do with 9/11.

My question is: What specific examples are there, if there are any, of the administration explicitly linking Iraq to 9/11? I would like citations, please. I very much want to know if this is just misinformation, or if they really did link it.

Note, this is a serious questions. No flame wars or extremist answers, please.

Let's take a look at the statisics:
From the getgo, our troops were undersupplied as far as body armor and supplies, given faulty Humvees, and insufficiant medical care (re walter reed and all the other insufficent hospitals with "waiting lists" ) all the while private contractors such as Haliburton overcharged the pentagon, when the money that was overspent could have gone to getting our troops the supplies they need.

Now congress has put their foot down: Get us out of this war. Get the troops out of harms way.

Think about it Righties....you're looking worse by the day.

With all the information that is out there, news reports, and everything else. I am still shocked to see how many people still support Bush. I suppose they are the idiots like Tranny Coulter, Lush Bimbaugh and the rich scammers like dead Ken Lay.

And the radical right has the gall to blame everyone else but themselves. I'm amazed at the stupidity.

"Artist" Cosimo Cavallaro, will release his newest sculpture, “My Sweet Lord,” an anatomically correct six-foot statue of the Savior made entirely of milk chocolate - in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel.

Isn’t it time we demand common decency? How about a little respect for others beliefs? I have no problem with free expression—he has the right to create any vile piece of trash he wants. But doesn’t this belong in a private gallery and NOT on public display?

And before you lefties start calling me a neo-con who is trying to stilfle ‘free speech’, (or that I have a problem with nudity in art), what if Cavallaro decide to make 6 foot chocolate anatomically correct naked Mohammed? Would there be consequences for such a disdainful display? I can guarantee you that his ‘artwork’ would get NO public attention and that he’d be called a bigot trying to incite the Muslim community—Hillary and Obama most likely leading the charge.

Don't Christians deserve the same respect?

Now that it comes out she resigns from the committee. She needs to be investigated for her votes, actions as a committee chair and ranking member. Plus her junkets to see military bases her husband was constructing should solicit an ethics charge and fine for improper use of government funds.

I find that any party with any lasting power, eventually builds bad habits and tends to lend an ear to only the most lucrative voice. This is Republicans and Democrats and I guess ANY party that takes power for a prolonged amount of time. I guarantee you the same old habits and lobbyists will be waiting for Republicans when they get back in power, just like they were when Democrats got back in in November. Its the same old leaders, handing down recommendations to the best asskissers taking their place. The cycle continues. Democrats tell us things will be much different when they get in power, but they will do the same as the Reps. They will address the most current, headline issues and deal with them accordingly. Then they will slip back behind the whitehouse curtain and Americans will stop paying attention. Thats when all the bad stuff happens. When nobodies looking. People tend have a "sports" mentality about politics, and its real bad for us.

I am 57 - I distinctly remember that it was the Democrats dragging us into Vietnam and the Republicans fighting to get us out. Nixon signed the orders to withdraw and brought the troops home. Now, the Republicans act like to do the same in Iraq would be tantamount to treason - So is it me or what?
