Or, was it the ultra-conservative Robert Novak who writes for the Chicago Sun-Times? He says "agents from her campaign office" have been spreading rumors that Senator Clinton has some damaging information about Senator Obama, but that they refuse to say what it is! What a bunch of garbage! What better way to get the Democrats fighting each other. This is what dirty politics is all about...starting a rumor about a "rumor".

Conservative Republicanism has an air of totalistic ideology. A disproportionate number of conservative intellectuals were once communists- first, the National Review crowd in the 1950's (Whittaker Chambers, James Burnham, Frank Meyer, Wildmoore Kendall) then the neo-conservatives of the 1970's (former Trotskyists Irving Kristol and Norman Podhoretz) They simply exchanged the primacy of the state for the primacy of the market. Taking all of this into consideration, doesn't the ideological style of Conservative Republicanism resemble Communism?

Didnt they USE the freedoms in America to become wealthy?

Didnt they USE the labor of another that was less fortunate?

Didnt we all decide to compete over our resources? capitalism? rather than socialism or communism? In capitalism what do the losers get? In other forms of govt the poor get assistance.

if the rich keep this up (taking soo much) wont the people eventually rise up?

Do you think the majority of people are brainwashed into supporting the elite?

Capitalism has worked so well for america because it has allowed them to rape other countries resources.

Amindinajad and Chavez are partners against the US to drive oil up to $200 per barrel. Seriously damaging the dollar and causeing the cost of imported goods to skyrocket. This would definately put us into a recession. OPEC is even talking about using a different currency on oil other than the dollar due to its loss of value. When will people wake up and see what damage this administration has done to our foreign policy and relations has done?

some European countries set it at 16 and there are no problems with the youth, at least compared to the U.S. Is there any reason in specific or is it just that the older generation feels too insecure and their control complex got the better of them?

When america went through the savings and loan scandals, Jimmy had the answer. But politicians didnt listen.
He said "We should send all the savings and loan people to the country of Irag.
That would solve two problems at once.
Isn't it time America turned to Jimmy for their answers?

If we have reached the so called 'tipping point' with regards to global warming, why is it gas guzzling 4x4's/SUV's are still being manufactured? I understand the economic implications if production ceased but if we really are on the edge and about to topple, shouldn't these sort of issues be on a government's agenda along with phasing out supermarket carrier bags and taxing families for for taking foreign holidays?

As a Jew myself, I feel that it is my responsibility to inform the rest of the Jewish community about the Human rights abuses being commited by our own nation of Israel. I fear that continuation of Israels human rights abuses in Gaza will forever tarnish the image of world Jewry and increase worldwide Anti-semitism. I want to know what I can do to convince other Jews to put pressure on Israel to stop the abuse of human rights abuses in occupied territories. Because the Jewish religion strongly believes that all humans are equal and the 10 commandments say to love thy neighbor. Can you give me advice on how I can lead and make a difference?

OPEC strats trade oil for the Euro and all imports become more expensive as our dollar falls because it is supported by oil? Will we be able to heat our homes or purchase food?

I am up for alternatives on fuel. One is to us the Reserve in the ground I.E. drilling as a stop gap way to lower fuel price. What is the solution to what seems to be a world wide fuel crisis?

That will lead to an economic crisis in the near future? Or what will be the economic impact if gas hit 200 a barrel per the VENZ. presiden's wishs?

The UK's nuclear weapons are stored in Scotland. The Scots government majority party the SNP want them out. The weapons are now due to be renewed at huge cost to the taxpayer. Getting rid of nuclear weapons from Scotland would effectively mean a nuclear-weapon free Britain, as there is nowhere else in the UK suitable to store them.

Scotland has not recently or ever been the subject of threats of nuclear attack. Despite the Ministry of Defence's assertion that the base is safe from intruders, the base where the weapons are stored is frequently illegally entered and damage or occupation performed by protestors from the general public, usually senior citizens, hippies and nuns.

Is it safe to store these weapons here? Is it legal?


Example of the base's vulnerability:

Everyone knows that Iran and the US are on bad terms. Fact is that Iran, their president, doesn't like the US or Israel.

From this article, it seems that Iran and Venezuela want to hurt the US economy. So there for, it would be in the best interest of Iran to provoke a war between Iran and Israel and/or the US. If we are dragged into a war with Iran, the price of Oil would go higher, and our economy would be for fragile.

Any thoughts?
Please read the article, no stupid comments please!

3 Billion a day cost for a out opf control military, added to an already record national debt of 10 Trillion. That, combined with suprprime debacle, rising oil, record personal debts, health care crisis, record trade deficit, sinking Dollar, helpless fed, maniac Bush and a pension crisis, waiting to sink the ship. Why can't we stop meddling.

Added cost to feul right now what a great idea. Many people can not afford to heat their houses, so when extra cost is added to feul people will have trouble oh say eating? You fuel cost go up and then food goes up.

What do you think of this wonderful plan.

Please be honest. What is it that has directly effected your everyday life?

It's not gay marriage because you couldn't do that with Clinton in office either.

It's not privacy unless you're a criminal.

Economy is debatable.

If you have a loved on in the war, that's their choice. And in case you forgot, there was a war going on in the Clinton years too.... I know. My cousin Danny died in it.


I ask this question because some ignorant douche typed this:
"We should respond by impeaching and imprisoning Bush and Cheney, but we wont. We'll roll over like they did in Nazi Germany."

How you can minimize Germany's experience to you not being able to get abortion on demand or get married to the same sex to the issues of 1930s-40s in Germany is beyond me. The last time I checked, we are not killing our own people in concentration camps for being the wrong race, religion, or sexual preference.

No matter what you want to say about Republicans, it's sick to minimize the holocaust like that.

Since the government is so concerned with not offending people, they have taken away prayer is school, posting the ten commandments in government buildings, even many places do not allow the nativity scene on government property. So, with this thinking, shouldn't the senators, congressmen and all members of the government have to work during the "Christmas" break, and not take a break, including delivering the mail. That is if they do not want to offend anyone.

There are the ailments directly blamed on smoking, but we should not forget that the weak smoker's body is more likely to catch almost any disease that is going around. And he is bad for the economy, since he is mentally less sound, less focused, less acceptable to other workers (nervous, stinky breath), and more likely to be absent form work.
