Hussein was an enemy of Iran. Do you think he would want Iran to have nuclear power and perhaps the possibilities of make the "Bomb?" Do you think the USA lost a valuable ally when they ousted Hussein? Remember, Iran and Iraq fought a bloody war in the 80's and Hussein is Sunni while Iran is Shi'a.

You are so pathetic! The right rules. The dems are turning on themselves and blaming Kerry for their loses.

If you look at the red/blue map it looks like the libs were trying to leave the country on elections day, half went east, half went west.

Looks like you'll get to hate us bastards for another 4 years you liberal moron, all majority of the House and Senate of us, can you say m-a-n-d-a-t-e?! You film making fags are so out of touch with the real world...

With all of the complaints about the record profits of the big oil companies, why aren't people investing money in the stocks? Why do they want to punish the companies by taxing them for doing well? Don't these people, some of whom have IRA's and 401K's and stocks and mutual funds, realize that they are only punishing themselves by hurting profits which eventually has a trickle-down effect on the economy?

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

Democrat Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question. Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 911?Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day, and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican Answer: BANG!

Southerner’s Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click….(sounds of reloading). BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.

Why are not the major news out lets covering all the unanswered questions about 9/11. The first duty of the press is to serve and to inform, sadly like our politicians..they must have been bought off.

Why do you dislike like him as a President and/or person? Do you think the media and Hollywood has been an influence in your decision or did you come to your conclusion based on your own findings?

I'd like to hear honest opinions and facts if you have them.
No arguements here, I will respect all opinions.

Prior to 1948 ISRAEL DID NOT EXIST ANYWHERE ON THE MAP

By 1948 Jews in the UN Helped create a rogue country called israel.

In retrospect Israel is a fake country that has been around only a few years. To get palestine Jews had to Massacre hundreds of thousands of palestinians fromn Palestine and Drive millions of them out of their homes. Now Israel threatens the security of the middle east. Why cant their just be a UN resolution to return Palestine to the palestinians and ask jews to relocate to other countries

What would need to happen is that the United States would have to approach just about every country with nuclear weapons and say "all right, here's the deal: disarm your nuclear weapons. WE WILL DO THE SAME (put in all caps because that's the important bit)." And then do it. We wouldn't wait for other countries to go first; we would disarm our weapons, and make it perfectly clear that we were doing so.

What would have to happen to make this work? Is this feasible? Would other countries warm up to us if we did this, or would they see it as an opening and attack us? Am I just being naive? I know it's probably not as simple as what I've just described, but I think that in order to truly get rid of nuclear weapons, the US would have to take the initiative.

What does everyone else think?

(Oh, and PLEASE no conservative/liberal bashing. I know it's hard, but you can do it. I have faith in you. Or something.)

AUGUST 29--the day that Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast--should be a date etched in memory like September 11. No one knows the full number of casualties from the hurricane catastrophe, but they are almost certainly higher than September 11. So is the damage and the impact on ordinary people’s lives.

We can't forget this folks.

7,000 of net new jobs were in manufacturing, where wages and benefits are still the best. The big increases were in construction (a gain of 46,000) and especially services (a gain of 135,000), the lowest-wage sector of the economy.

Roughly one in every six jobs in manufacturing has disappeared since 2001--a net decline of 2.8 million.

The difference has been made up by employment growth in the service sector.

In fact, the overall net growth in private-sector employment--a net increase of 2 million between 2001 and the projection for the end of 2006--is almost entirely accounted for by the increased military budget.

Simply put, the money that’s disappearing from working people’s paychecks is showing up on the bottom lines in Corporate America.

What happens when all we do is work in the service industry and these Corporations move as they always do, following international markets?

In every part of their lives, U.S. workers are having a harder time making ends meet.

I mean, don't call me a peace-loving liberal, but can't we sort of get along? I know that we have different opinions, but neither of our opinions are ultimatley, truly, indefinitley correct. I think that this may come down to the science between the ways that boys and girls treat each other during early adolescence. It's possible that all liberals and conservatives are mean to each other because we all crushes on each other!!
Did you ever think of that?

I was reading an interview with her and she said that her first priority is "being a Christian", while her second priority is being a "mean-spirited Conservative."
Ok, I can respect that her first priority is her religion. Actually, I admire her for that. Unfortuatley, one would think that making a living from other peoples' pain and slandering everything that the majority of our country stands for would kind of offset however many times she prays. She called the wives' of the men who died in the 9/11 attacks "witches". Ironically, I'm relatively sure that she is the one who would burst into flames if she walked into a church. I'm sure right this second, God is looking down on her, watching her practice her belittling insults in front of an already cracked mirror, just shaking his head.
I don't know many devout Christians who pride themselves on being mean-spirited. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that God did not intend all of his followers to be acid-tongued, morons, right?

It started by Marco Polo a spy sent by the Roman Catholic Church that lead to the Crusade War in the Middle East.
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Sikes & Picko aggreement was formed to divide the Arab World between Brittin and France.
WWI was for colonization, and WWII was for retaking and Colonizing. NATO was formed based on the Winner Colonizing Countries, and UN was formed based on the same thing.
Many of the answers were driven towards that Jews are Jews because of faith and all Arabs are moslems, and that is not true and proves to me the ignorance of many people with racist background. Jews are being used as tool.
Research about the Skulls and Bones and read article at www.whatreallyhappened.com were you would find many answers.
There is a hidden war driven by the western white man using the newly created terrorist state to cause desctruction in the middle East and to weaken the Arab Unity. So the white Western Power comes in and take what is left of the middle east

I'm not bitter about the elections. Got over that a long time ago. In fact, I wish our Pres. well. I wish him every success because when he succeeds - we share the victories. But, being a little superstitious, I'm beginning to wonder if the poor guy is just a jinx on the planet. What do you think?
