I read these sniveling posters talk about how the so-called terrorists kill innocent people,

Excuse me for stating the following but didn't the United States drop A-Bombs upon women and children; Wow! What a monsterous image! Wholesale mega death of innocent women and children!

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional
heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford , Texas . Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States , George W. Bush.

In other words, how much do you REALLY know about the presidential candidates? Is the information you obtain based on media input or your own personal research?

Gordon Brown, against advice stole my savings in 1997 and now I have to survive on state means, less than half of that which I had saved, and food handouts. Should the government pay restitution to all those affected. That is about 50% of the population.

Has something very strange and deceptive been starting to rot and stink 'really bad' lately?
Troop surge- emergency funding, but without some kind of 'backstory', George, what's really going on???
Starting our 5th year in Iraq and it's suddenly an "emergency"?

If the Bush argument is so honest and true - where's all the facts? 911 the nations largest/worst crime scene - sterilized? Clues and evidence all cleaned away? WHY?

Why?

Why 911 seems like such a perfect Bush talking point- fear fear fear, terrorism, 911, ...scared yet? Got Duct tape?
The plan is perfect for making us afraid - it seems, is it a big lie? Forget the anthrax- please forget the anthrax - we got 911 and its far more effective canard for all reasons to borrow money from China, and wreck the economy and give war-time tax breaks to Big Oil- hello?
"Fight them over there"?
with our loose borders- does that make any sense? My point- where's th P.R. to squash this -
WhiteHouse DOES want us to believe they are truthful- don't they??
..maybe we'd just like to know... something fishy going on...you can bet - the appearance secrecy is a big mistake

I have a friend who claims she works for the Pentagon; however, her stories do not match up. Is there a way to find out if someone works for the government and/or the military? Is there a searchable database online that doesn't cost money?

A woman who claims Bill Clinton raped her in 1978 has repeated her accusation on national television, as Hillary Clinton launched her long-awaited book that essentially ignored the allegation.


Juanita Broaddrick (courtesy: Fox News)

Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home administrator, said during an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes program, that Clinton, while he was still attorney general of Arkansas, sexually assaulted her.

At first known as "Jane Doe No. 5" in Kenneth Starr's impeachment report to Congress, she had filed an affidavit in the Paula Jones case, at first denying Clinton had made any unwelcome sexual advances to her. But Broaddrick later claimed to investigators for independent counsel Starr that she was raped.

A Clinton campaign worker at the time, she described a meeting in her hotel room in which Clinton held her down forcibly on a bed and bit her lips while engaging in sexual intercourse. After the encounter, Clinton allegedly told her not to worry because he was sterile.

She first told her story to the Wall Street Journal in 1999.

Clinton, through his attorneys shortly after the Journal report appeared, claimed the allegations were false. But Broaddrick, in her interview, said the former two-term president assaulted her, then "casually" asked her to put ice on her swollen bottom lip he had bitten during the alleged attack.

"Then he … put on his sun glasses and walked out the door," Broaddrick said.

By law King Herod declared that Innocent children should be killed. Like wise by rule of law the Decent and Innocent of the US will be destroyed?

By rule of law the Innocent and the vulnerable are aborted every day so no you can not protect your grand children from being destroyed.

By rule of law you can not seek a place to live with others you feel safe with, as this is discrimination so your life and the lives of your loved ones as well as all of your possessions are at the whim of whom ever wishes to live in your neighborhood and the law will provide them the money to do so.

By rule of law no you can not protect the borders of your country , you must allow others to take your jobs and your life away.

And Now Congress wants to stop our military from protecting this country by stopping them from doing there job.

America do you get it yet?
