It's been a few months since the gov't started minting those golden presidential dollar coins and I still haven't seen one. Have any of you?

They can do only one thing.

They cannot dictate troop levels or how long the troops will be there, that is the constitutional job of the President, not congress.

So if they will not do their jobs, what can we do?

They can fund or not. Why will they not do their job?

& Should George Tenet give back his Presidential Medal of Freedom? I think so! We were all lied to to bring us to war & NOW the Republicans are lying to themselves about why we should stay!

Of all the Republicans, Democrats and all the other parties, is there one person who stands out? It's John McCain for me but, I would like to know your views, give me a reason if you would like to and maybe you can change some minds. I definately want the best person in office in 2008 election.

It has little in common with the other countries, it's on the verge of becoming a quasi-theocrasy, doesn't even recognize that all the present EU countries exist (Crete), and moreover, the vast majority of Turkey isn't even in Europe?

I have nothing against Turkey, nor am I even European; but I'm curious what Europeans (or whoever) thinks about this. It just seems like a very odd partnership.

Do you not find their arguments supporting the position specious at best?

We elect people to do the right thing based on a set of rules, the constitution. Bush is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

For those that say the people spoke, you should have spoken when Bush was last elected, and you can speak again at the next election, until then it is HIS job to do. I find it an admirable quality that despite an intense pressure from the SOCIALIST minority that Bush stands fast in his duties.

I get a good laugh when socialists use the phrase "all americans". They do not speak for me. They seem to want rulers to change policy daily based on polls, or maybe better we just have daily elections for what we want them to do today. My guess is if many socialist issues were put to a general vote rather than through congress, the defeat would be resounding.

All Americans reject SOCIALISM? Hows that one sit comrade?

Bush is always saying "they hate us for our freedom" and he keeps working on taking our freedom away. It seems to me he's been more effective at advancing Al-Qeada's goals than Al-Qeada has been.

I am just wondering, my parent's were Democrats and I was a Republican but just lost complete faith in the Party so I went Independent although I support the Democratic agenda sometimes it seems to go too far but lately they kind of seem the same to me.

They asked the coliation to stay to protect the safety, so how come they don't pay a penny?

Is US really so kind that it is willing to donate all its money for world peace and freedom? Seems more like that it already recognized the mess it had created, so it's paying for the penalties already.

So Bush doesn't need Dem to tell he's wrong. The fact has been there for four years.

If there was another terrorist attack in America where thousands died, would the government round up all Muslims and Arabs and put them in internment camps similar to what happened to the Japanese after Pearl Harbor? Bush seems ready to do anything in the name of security these days, and I'm kind of worried.

and also allowed private practices to stay in business... like there are private and public schools?

and this way the government wouldn't be "doing it"... but businesses, probably a group of several businesses...

and such huge contracts would almost have to save billions just in the bulk alone...

comments?

While terrorists are certainly dangerous, and I am in no way espousing silencing or prosecuting any U.S. citizen based on their political beliefs, it's worth addressing. Terrorists killed 3000 on 9/11 and a few hundred others here and there over the past 20 years or so, but liberals are behind events such as the Roe v. Wade decision that has triggered a holocaust of 45,000,000 unborn children. They often cheer for our enemies such as Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and yes, even Bin Laden for "standing up to us". They've worked diligently to fill the media with every form of vulgarity known to Man, and a few heretofore unknown, which has coarsened and desensitized society, all for the sake of "freedom of expression". They assail and ridicule every traditional, wholesome, family-oriented, patriotic, moral foundation we have, speeding our society's headlong rush into decadence and decay, all the while wrapping themselves in the cloak of "patriotic dissent". How much longer can we endure?

his followers call themselves "Conservatives" since Bush's Government is even larger than the Democrat Bill Clinton's Govt.?

I think today's "Conservatives" are really "Theocrats". They are just too ignorant to realize it?

McCain Calls Iraq War 'Great Tragedy'
By JIM DAVENPORT
AP
COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 26) - Republican presidential contender John McCain called the Iraq war "a great tragedy" on Thursday, yet still decried a timetable for a U.S. withdrawal as the Senate voted to begin pulling out troops by Oct. 1.

"I'm aware of the patience of the American people. I read the polls. I'm not embarrassed to say that. I understand the frustration and sorrow that American people feel about this war. It's a great tragedy," said McCain, who was campaigning in this early voting state and missed the Senate vote on the bill containing the withdrawal timetable.

Earlier in the day, he predicted that the consequences of U.S. withdrawal would be severe.

"If we leave Iraq, there will be chaos, there will be genocide, and they will follow us home," the Arizona senator said, calling the war against al-Qaida "a struggle between good and evil."

On Thursday, the Senate followed the House's lead, brushing aside a veto threat and passing legislation that would order President Bush to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq by Oct. 1.

Many European ( former) Allies have condemned current USA
policies and questioned the legality of the Iraqi invasion.
Some have chickened out completely, but the French contribute to the force in Afghanistan ( considerably ).
But the friendship seems to have cooled so much, even though
it dates back to the American revolution, that I wonder if the Statue of Liberty the French people presented as a gift of
friendship ought to be demolished and returned.
That would seem to be the appropriate and honest thing to do
considering the prevailing attitude.

Or should the torch be replaced by two stretched out middle
fingers welcoming us European immigrants and visitors to reflect the
prevailing mood in the USA today.

I'm sorry but here in 'Old Europe' friendship does not mean you
tell somebody exactly what he wants to hear, if we think a friend is wrong you ought to tell him. We're old fashioned.
The French are very proud people, this rift might take years
to close again.

Check them out next time you see them barefoot or wearing sandals (and really, is there any other way?). Their toes are always dirty and usually misshapen, and at least one nail always seems to be afflicted with fungus. I think toes are the window to a person's soul.

Are people just cowards who have invented guns and other means to overcome their general inferiority, so that they can prey on helpless innocent animals? As it says in my Bible, every animal has a soul. If it doesn't say that in your Bible, it's time you bought a proper interpretation of the scriptures and threw that out-of-date version in the closest trash pile.

Our borders are from secure, they provide as much safty for Americans as the FDA does for our pet food!

We have not been attacked sence 9/11, Osoma has gotten what he wanted, and that was our troops out of Saudi Arabia.

So with bush giving into terrorist demands.

Is Terrorism really still a threat.

Dont say because we are fighting them in Iraq, trust me I am sure if they wanted to badly enough 11 or 12 of them can sneak into the U.S. No matter what country they are "Hiding in" if they really wanted to.

Is it because he told the truth about Bush's illegal war and said we should "make it a felony" to stay there? Is it because he said that when the pro-war Senators filibuster, that they should have a cloture vote every day at 12 o'clock so that the American People can see who's keeping the war going? If so, isn't that the way 70% of the American people feel and shouldn't he be included in debates? Wouldn't it be a violation of the "Fairness Doctrine" that Democrats support if the other Democrats refuse to let him debate them?

Why did CNN decide to pull Gravel from the debates?
