Will Mr Bush admit to failure before his term is up?

Just wondering, if the Democrats do not retake the House or Senate, what is their next move. Please, I am asking seriously. I believe that if the Democrats do not at least retake the House, they are in real danger of being marginalized at best, and becoming a non-factor in future elections at worst. I'm a Republican, but I don't think a severely weakened Democratic party in the nations best interest.

Like EU, Canada and USA will retain their own countries' identities but their economies and borders will merge. What are the pros and cons of such merger?

Considering the natural oil reserves Canada has (2nd largest in the world) - it might not be that beneficial for Canada to join such a union.

Let me begin by saying that I am not opposed to conservatism. I believe in economic and fiscal conservative policies, but I do not understand the religious right.

They want to reintroduce God and "family values" to America. In doing so they want to ban gay marriage, abortion, euthanasia, and emphasize the traditional nuclear family. I understand how that lines up with their values.

My question is, how do things such as torture, lying to the American people, and promoting the wealthy fall in line with those values?

Like I said, I am an economic conservative so I support tax cuts for the wealthy (included in tax cuts across the board) assuming governmental fiscal responsibility. I just don't see how that matches up with Christian ideals.

Christian thought says that the meek will inherit the earth and that we should look out for the poor. It also says it's very hard for rich men to enter heaven. So how is favoring the wealthy Christian?

How is torture Christian?

Why do we focus on these and other trivial issues?

Why do we waste three weeks in the Senate debating a flag burning amendment to the Constitution?

Why do we care about gay marriage?

When there's a war in Iraq, our education system (excluding college) is failing compared to most other OECD (developed) countries, crime is increasing, poverty is increasing, North Korea has nukes, Iran is getting nukes, Hugo Chavez is trying to turn Latin America communist, Sudanese children are being murdered relentlessly, Somalia is becoming Talibanized, the Sub-Saharan AIDS epidemic, etc. why do we care about such trivial issues?

Is it not pathetic that the masses are so easily focused on these unimportant matters?

The politicians, it seems, simply exploit the masses by bringing up issues that don't really matter, but they know are easy to draw the attention of America. Then they fail to address real ones.

Is there any realistic way to fix this problem? I fail to see one; maybe you're smarter.

When democrats raise taxes to pay for the Bush spending spree and Giveaways will we be so short sided as to blame the democrats for being responcible enough to pay our debts .Or should we do like all good republicans and file for bankruptcy .Wipe the slate clean and start from scratch .Its like going to re-hab when you walk out you are free from your past because that was not really you somehow .
I get it now .you just have to lie to yourself every minute of every day and tell yourself that you are ok often enough till you believe it .
How does a person live with themselves when its time to tell the family with a sick child that they have reached the limits of the insurance policy and the treatments will no longer be paid by them .How do they walk around after the fill up the pockets of all their friends with money taken out of people savings that they loaned to there college buddies and familys to buy homes with and then declare the company banckrupt leaving tax payers to foot the bil

Just because you are gay, it dosen't make you a pedifile, a drunk, or a molestion victim. Do the Republicans think we are stupid? OMG!!! It is as if they are trying to piss on our collective foot and tell us it raining. Thoughts?

And be really prepared to back-up your comments with PROOF and FACTS. Long diatribes and web site referrals do not impress me. Say it like a MAN or WOMAN. RESPECTFUL and in YOUR own WORDS.

This nation all the way down to this forum is as crazy as Kim Jong II. They label based on one opinion, and you either have to be a liberal or conservative, no inbetween. I say yes to pro choice, I'm a stinky liberal hippy, I say yes to the death penalty, i'm a conservative religious wacko. Why can't I support a woman's right to choose and support the death penalty, why can't I support harsh treatment of terrorists and support the pulling out of iraq?

Ethics and Morals should always be upheld, and should be something that politicians should have in mind. Yet, a lot of times when these political figures get into a tight spot or are short of votes, they invoke God to run beside them, do people actually believe that God is their running mate? It is truly sad when they would use someone's faith and devotion as a tool to undermine their intelligence for their own political and personal gain.

City in Iraq seized by insurgents. Does this sound like America is winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis...?
