Universal Health Care, a la Hillary, would be a complete disaster to our ecomony. Yet, some people think it is a God-given right, and not a privilege.

How about this: don't buy the biggest house, the SUV, every toy available (boat, vacation home, RV, off-road racers, etc.), stop shopping for the latest trends ...

Instead, save, invest, work your money, so you can buy insurance and be grateful that the MD you end up seeing actually wants to practice medicine and wasn't brought into med school on affirmative action.

If American businesses are to be internationally successful other countries have to buy them. Our military doesn't seem to be capable of that much, we haven't made Iraq better and we probably wouldn't even be able to hold our own there if it weren't for the militaries of other countries. We're not the most populous, we're not the most rich, and we don't even have the largest movie industry (Bollywood in India does).

So where is this superpower status coming from?

Does he believe that if America is at war with Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan, and Venezuela at the same time, then the American people will say "Let's postpone the 2008 election until the wars have been won?"

I'm a Democrat all the way, but I guess I better to learn to skip over the Republican questions and answers. It is not helping matters when I get a message from an asker attacking me because I don't share his views.
Are any of you dems out there having problems or getting nasty messages from those who love the gop and hate the dems?
Isn't it my right to think what I want and isn't this a country of free speech?
I've been accused of twisting the Bible and hating rebubs just because i don't share the republican view.

Only 3,400 American dead but hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead by USA actions in Iraq. No WMD, only an invasion and a great oil grab by a confused USA president. Halliburton? Cheney? Rumsfeld? Rice? Wolfie? USA can do better. Wait until the Iraqi immigrants arrive.

I’m confused about this. I don’t know whether I’m a leftie or a rightie. It goes like this, im pro choice, anti the death penalty (within reason), pro euthanasia (again within reason, i.e. terminal illness). This is what confuses me; I think I am a contradiction!
I have very good reasons for believing in what I do, my question I suppose is what side of the fence do I sit on? Or should I just shut up and stay sitting on that fence?

I am sick of living in a Nanny state! i am a grown man and don't like to be told I am not allowed to smoke in a pub, buy a hot sausage roll (I may die) etc. Health and safety and moral panic are neutering our freedoms. Choice is the key. Allow smoking and non smoking pubs, and if someone makes a choice to do something they are responsible towards the outcome - not central government.

Gov't stats show that guns owned by law abiding citizens are used more than criminals use their illegal guns. Citizens who defend their lives and property keep the crime stats down, there is NO room to interpret these facts, make LEGAL guns go away and only the crooks have guns and a bigger pool of victims!
"being necessary to the security of a free State", and prohibits Congress from infringement of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms."
you cannot keep an arm (gun or other form of weapon) if it is taken from you, and bearing it means carrying it upon one's person.
The leftist rant, now is that this is a collective right and not an individual right
how does that follow as it is nested in 9 PERSONAL rights and NOT self described to be different than the intended holder of said right?
Why do the anti gun people have ARMED security, if they are SO against the right to keep and bear arms?
