I voted for Bush and probably catch about three minutes of Fox News a month. Why does it drive liberals nuts that there is one news channel with a supposedly right-wing bent? There are plenty of other news channel that are center or left. I think it makes y'all look bad when I have to read "TYPICAL RIGHT-WING, FOX NEWS TOBY KEITH IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Do you feel threatened by it? Do you feel it contributed to the democratic losses in 2000 and 2004?

the congress recently ( today ) voted on a proposal to raise the minimum wage and turned it down. mostly because repubs voted against it. It has not been raised in many years and the working poor are being priced out of homes etc. What is the big deal to them? The congress gave themselves a handsome salary increase recently but begrudge the working poor a modest hike of $1.15 per hour. WHY? WHY ? WHY? It is not welfare, you have to have a job to benefit. It encourages people to get off welfare and poor Moms to not get abortions, so why wont they do it? Somebody please explain it to me. There have been so many cost of living increases in recent years so the working poor get poorer and poorer. soon we will be like Mexico with a rich upper class and a very poor lower class and nothing in between but fences and guard dogs. WHY?

One of the accusations aimed at President Bush by his detractors is to call him a "cowboy," as if this is some mark of shame, implying something sinister or simple-minded. I keep wondering why.

Have you ever watched a rodeo? They've started interviewing the contestants after they compete, giving the audience a little glimpse into the
character of these athletes, something like the ones conducted preceding title fights and following basketball and football games. They go something like this. "Cody, you made a spectacular ride, which moves you into first place. How do you feel about your position as the number one bull-rider in the country?" Well, ma'am, (notice the use of a term of respect, a vanishing social custom among most Americans under the
age of 30), I've been real lucky. I've drawn some good bulls and everything has fallen into place for me this year. Some of my competitors have had some injuries and bad luck. I just hope I can stay healthy." Before his closest competitor

I mean, why should a Down's Syndrome person get to vote if they don't even understand what the hell a simple parabola is? Shouldn't the presidency be voted on by our nation's most intelligent?

I am a 20 year old male with big goals, that even though their out of reach and I have no money I sill have the wish to try. I wish to go in to politics and join the Republican Party, I have started by taking some college classes this summer and I will be starting political science in the fall at Columbia Gorge Community College. The classes I am starting with are a reading, class to enhance my vocabulary, a math class to be able to transfer to OSU later on, a art class to relax, and finally a writing class to help my spelling and grammar, sense with out those any attempt to get in to a office is futile.

Would any of you be able to give me some advice and ideas on how to go about this? Are there any groups that can help me? Any thing and every thing will help me out.

Thank you

Does FOX NEWS, Sean Hannity and Antichrist Ann Coulter speak for The United States and George W. Bush?
Did the US go to WAR IN IRAQ for pre-war, 1991 antiquated weapons?
Is this why AMERICAN TROOPS are killing and dying in IRAQ?
Is the IRAQI PRESIDENT calling the shots for the UNITED STATES now?
Has the PENTAGON been shut down?

How can anybody be happy that WMD's even exist? Of course the ones found were useless, but that does not seem to matter to them.

THIS IS WHAT BUSH SAID BEFORE THE WAR.

"The U.S. military announced in 2004 in Iraq that several crates of the old shells had been uncovered and that they contained a blister agent that was no longer active. Neither the military nor the White House nor the CIA considered the shells to be evidence of what was alleged by the Bush administration to be a current Iraqi program to make chemical, biological and nuclear weapons."
