If the so-called fairness doctrine is passed by Congress, can Savage, Rush, Hannity, etc take time away from Katie Couric and the like on NBC and CBS? Or do the liberals not want to hear both sides of the story, only destroy talk radio?

A new Newsweek poll out this weekend exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events.

Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?"

That total is actually up 5 points since September 2004.

Further, a majority of people couldn't identify Saudia Arabia as the country of origin of most of the 9/11 hijackers, even given the question in multiple choice format. 20% answered Iraq, while 14% believed the hijackers came from Iran.

What's your stance and why?
Do we serve the ideals of equality better by getting rid of affirmative action or by mandating universities, corperations, etc, to meet quotas?

When Nancy Pelosi went to Syria she probably violated the Logan Act by interfering in negotiations with another country. Diplomatic negotiations are part of the Executive Branch function and not that of the Legislative. In addition to playing Diplomat, a message she gave to Syria from Israel was not conveyed properly and left Israel denying what Pelosi said.
What they fail to understand is that representatives of the Bush Administration (or any President’s Administration) are allowed to conduct these kinds of meetings. once again, Diplomacy is an Executive Branch function and therefore the President or his representatives are authorized to participate in them.
Pelosi is a member of the Legislative Branch and does not belong playing Diplomat. Who is she trying to be, Condi Rice?

Is it not logical that we have a criminal investigation? It would be rational to refute the 9/11 Commission, on page 172 of their report, stating that the question of who bankrolled the September 11th attacks was "of little practical significance." This would not be the case in a real investigation

P.S. I hope you don't think USAMA BIN LADEN was the conspirator. Hes not even wanted for 9/11. Don't believe me? Look at the FBIs most wanted list and read for yourself. Propaganda is powerful, it can make you believe things without any facts, and than later deny the truth. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.htm

Ron Paul supporters thinks he's going to win. He's no Bush, and never will be. Hope they enjoy their cheese with their French whine (wine). He's not going to win.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich has recently introduced a resolution in the House (H.Res. 333) to impeach Cheney for his involvement in decieving and lying to Congress, the intelligence community, and the American people about reasons for going to war against Iraq and inciting another war against Iran on false pretenses. Go to - http://kucinich.house.gov/UploadedFiles/int2.pdf
This resolution carries substantially more weight than former Attorney General Ramsey Clarke's articles of impeachment drawn up several years ago when this war started. Is Kucinich barking up the wrong tree and following a pipe dream or is this possibly the beginning of the end for his reign of terror in Washington and the Middle East? For years we've been focussing too much attention on the spokesman for this ongoing nightmare, G.W. Bush, when all along it was Cheney and his cadre of henchmen who have really been running the show. Wake up and smell the oil, America!

Believe that they're entitled to have Spanish spoken everywhere they go? Don't expect Americans to speak Spanish as this is America. I used to work at a government agency, and they used to come in, and expect people there to speak Spanish. Like it was an entitlement. It seems like they would hate it when people didn't "espeakay Spaneesh." I can understand for medical care...not for every flipping government service. I don't go to other countries and make demands. Why do Hispanics think they are entitled? Is it because they're becoming the mojority in America?

1) There wouldn't have been any Al Qaeda in Iraq, like the 1000s that are there now making it a terrorists state, because of the presence of US troops.

2) The US military would still be in containment mode of Iraq w/ the no fly zones. (Costing about $25 Billion a year rather than the current $350 Billion).

3) There wouldn't be any sectarian/civil war

4) No US troops getting blown up by IEDs. (in fact, there would be few if any US military deaths).

5) Al Qaeda terrorists wouldn't be getting all the on the job training they are getting from US troops right now.

6) And Iran's greatest enemy in the Mideast (other than Israel) Saddam, would still be a major threat & thus maintain the balance of Sunni & Shiite power in that fagile region.

I'm not saying appeasement is a good thing but sometimes (NOT all) it can be a heck of lot smarter especilly when we find out that Saddam had nothing to do w/ 9/11?

I think some people are stupid enough to do that. No, don't say "how do you think George Bush got elected?" Ron Paul is not even a to tier candidate. He's just running for president as an ego boost. Please don't vote for the worst. Keep America the best...vote for the best.

By the way "Vote for the Worst" are the freaks that kept Sanjaya alive on American Idol. The people who vote for the worst candidate.
