Politics - 16 October 2006

America is supremely powerful - BUT...! - IF most other Western countries decided to isolate Washington and stuck to it the USA would soon be rendered ineffective and driven back within its own borders, where it belongs - (instead of running around telling the whole planet what to do...!)

who gives a damn what amendment it violates, if you are not doing anything wrong then why should you worry about it you dumbasses, when the founding fathers wrote the constitution they didn't have radical islamic terrorists destroying everthing they were writing the constitution for in the first place. common sense will tell you that if you are worried about the patriot act then why don't you just join the terrorists cause thats what you are doing by voting against it

Politicians are no different than they were 100 years ago. Before that, sure things were different. But getting into Washington is like getting into Heaven for most politicians, though the means of getting there are much different, in that they are sinister and deceitful. Things aren't working now, because the public is too smart, and we've got much more access to public records. I'll admit that the media is always slanted in one direction or the other, but people are standing up. It's not just the Republicans... it's the Democrats too.

There must be something we can do to out-smart these guys. We need to find a way to get genuine, honest people into office, who will not be swayed by the men in black that seem to make figure-heads of our politicians. We must find a way to prevent our legislators from selling out to lobbyists who offer them nice dinners and more time in office.

Who wants to go streaking?


Sorry, don't know where that came from... Lemonade anyone?

I was thinking about about the whole issue of Israels right to exist, and thought occured to me. One of the main things Israelis point to in regard to this issue us that they consider the area their ancient "homeland." While this may be true, using that logic shouldn't we be negotiating with some indian tribes for the control of the United States? Seems like a rather absurd rational to me.

Of course, I don't think the Israelis should up and leave at this point, it has been like 60 years, but I will say this, that was a rather mashugana spot to choose to put your country. Wouldn't South America have been much more pleasent?

The invasion of Iraq has cost 655,000 Iraqis their lives. That is the conclusion of a study financed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for International Studies and conducted by physicians under the direction of Johns Hopkins University.

When asked about the report, President Bush stated, "I don't consider it a credible report." Bush, of course, is not reality-based, and he knows that any unfavorable news is "enemy propaganda."

Also, The New York Times (Oct. 11) reports that Department of Veterans Affairs documents show that about one in five U.S. soldiers who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan have suffered at least partial disability.

What percentage of these deaths were insurgents
or "terrorists"?

The Military Commissions Act of 2006 was passed by the Senate over two weeks ago yet, Bush has not actually signed HR 6166 and it doesn't become law until his signature is on it.

The big question at the moment is why Bush has delayed signing the legislation HE ENDORSED even in the midst of fast-tracking other bills of little significance?

WHAT THE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006 "LEGISLATES"

- Doesn't suspend, as is accommodated for in the Constitution, but completely abolishes Habeas Corpus permanently - the right of the detainee to see the evidence against him and not be locked up for eternity based on the arbitrary will of the state.

- Contains a definition of "wrongfully aiding the enemy" which labels all American citizens who breach their "allegiance" to President Bush and the actions of his government as terrorists subject to possible arrest, torture and conviction in front of a military tribunal.

the answers. The answers people post are 90% opinion and 10% manipulated facts. Here are the facts:
WASHINGTON — The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said .http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,200499,00.html
Consider these shocking facts:
• Found: 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium
• Found: 1,500 gallons of chemical weapons
• Found: Roadside bomb loaded with sarin gas
• Found: 1,000 radioactive materials--ideal for radioactive dirty bombs
• Found: 17 chemical warheads--some containing cyclosarin, a nerve agent five times more powerful than sarin
http://www.humanevents.com/sarticle.php?id=10101
I think those facts cover the Iraq portion of Bush
Tell me people, what is it that you disagree with? Or is it that you are just a bit mad that the Republicans are ruling every branch of government?

Hey,

I have been researching why the US went to war. So far I found that missiles were found in Iraq (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2666955.stm
Iraqi Warheads Found) but I don't know how that relates to the US. I know that it does in some way, so could someone provide a link to CNN or BBC or some other credible site that tells me how and why the US went to war?

I'm trying to decide if I'm with or against Bush on that issue, and I need that information as the deciding factor.


Also, if you have info why we shouldn't have gone to war, please post it. Post the CRUDENTIALS too; a link to the site. dont just say "we shouldn't have gone to war because it costs to much" or something....provide a link from a trusted news source or something saything that.

Thanks for helping me out

They have done nothing in the last 7 years. All they can do is talk bad about Bush. Have you heard any answers from them? NO! Why? because they don't have any. Do they even have one person able to lead? NO! Wake up and never vote for them again...
