Why does Dubya try to use words he can't pronounce and doesn't know the meaning of? And, how many more troops and soldiers is he going to send to be murdered? He's a catholic with blood on his hands? What about the innocent people who die in the middle east because of him? Is it logical to conclude he his a mass murderer directly or perhaps indirectly?

So far, the only presidents we've had are white men! Would you be willing to see a woman in office?

Serious answers please. I am truly trying to understand if the invasion was justified, because I do not see that merely ridding the Iraqis of Saddam justifies all the civilian deaths, way exceeding the harm Saddam caused to his people. I am begging for a real explanation. Gosh I wish BUSH would give me one that makes sense?

blame liberals the same way that conservatives blamed liberals when the war in Vietnam went down in history as an American failure?

Or

Have conservatives done such an effective job at stiffling liberal dissent that conservatives will have no one else to blame but themselves if the war in Iraq goes down in history as an American failure?

We need campaign finance reform.

Campaign contributions and the influence they wield are the primary source of corruption of government officials.

We give huge tax breaks to corporations who in turn spend huge sums of money on campaign contributions. This, in effect, makes campaigns publicly funded but without the fairness of true public funding and with all the corporate strings attached for future contributions.

Thoughts?

Your voices were ignored before Bush decided to wage war on Saddam and Iraq, on the basis that Saddam has links to Al-Queda and would slingshot nukes your way. This has now been proved false, and yet you are silent. 100 or more people die everyday in Iraq - America has no solution to this problem and i find it very damn strange that Insurgents or Al-queda would go around and blow up poor innocent Iraqi people, what have they to GAIN from this? Just because you hear something on your 'GOVERNMENT OWNED' OR INFLUENCED news channels does not necessarily mean you know something, you just know what they have told you and nothing more. However, your attitude towards people in Iraq is damn right RACIST. Yes! Let them die like filthy dogs, deep down inside we really hate those Muslims and anything which is different to our superior way of living. The outer crust - the fake understandings and feelings is a curtain hiding the true face of your evil, which is reveiled when you allow....

and how it is almost impossible to get another party elected, like libertarian. So, I was thinking, that if a canidate ran for a position as a democrat or republican and won office, and then when election came around again, that canidate declared he was from another party, like libertarian, do you think he/she would be elected? (that is if he/she did a good job in office). And if you think so, do you think that this could be the way to get other people besides demos, and repubs into office? I know there are a few independent canidates in office right now, but not really enough to do much.
