Politics - 23 October 2006

In a nutshell, here are my policy ideas...

I'm for marriage for everyone, Gays, Lesbians, Straights.
I believe religion has no place in legislation.
I believe in our citizens' right to keep and bear arms.
I WOULD NOT open up the Arctic to oil drilling.
I WOULD encourage any and all alternative fuel methods, like fuel cells, etc.
I am for the death penalty if we know for sure the person really committed murder.
Legal abortion across the board.
I would commit America to a 40% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
I would create a government jobs bank aimed at giving the poor and homeless jobs. Hell, most of the people working gov't jobs today don't seem to care about doing their jobs right, so give 'em to those who deserve a chance.
I would create an American adoption campaign. Adopt an American orphan, not one from China or Africa.
I would, if possible, put a cap on the price of houses and real estate, and discourage RE speculation.
Do I have your vote?

I always hear that we have a good economy or a bad economy, but I never see a difference. I am being completely bi-partisian here. Whether it was "Reaganomics" or Bush Sr.'s "recession", Bill Clintons "Boom" then "recession" or George Bush's current "Boom". Over ALL of these years, I have never been laid off, nor have I ever seen any more significant wage increases. Things have always been evenly tough financially. I would never know that we are in a recession or a boom unless I watched the news.

that it would somewhat discourage the ignorant populace here in 'POLITICS?? I'm not one to complain without offering a solution to a problem. And, understanding the effects of advertising, I think it would somewhat deflate the hell-bent fools on here. Certainly not permanent, but it's a start. Can you be positive enough to even try?

Putting aside any and all prejudisms and just focusing on the requirements (expirience, knowledge, and support of peers) for anyone to lead the United States of America, does anyone believe Sen Barack Obama will be elected in 2008?

Will it be Israel or America that goes to war with Iran and if so is it post elections in November that they are all waiting for ?

Iran invites West to return to nuclear talks

Tehran Times Political Desk
TEHRAN -- Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki on Saturday invited the major Western powers to return to the negotiating table to resolve the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

“We advise them to return to negotiations and not to retry the path that they have already tried,” Mottaki told reporters at a joint press conference after a meeting with Belarusian Foreign Minister Sergei Martynov.

Mottaki stated that Tehran sees no reason for suspending uranium enrichment.

“Enrichment of uranium by the Islamic Republic is legal and one of its rights under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),” he said.

All the inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities indicate no deviation toward weaponization, he added.

Obviously an inexperienced Republican, otherwise he would have mailed the threatening letter shortly before the election.

And then the judge can force them to change their name from a news channel to a neo-conservative fantasy channel -- at least that much would be accurate.

Canada = America's Sieberia ?

WINNIPEG (CBC) - An American teacher convicted of having sex with a 15-year-old student has been exiled to Canada as punishment in an unusual case that has immigration experts questioning its legality.

A U.S. judge gave Malcolm Watson a choice between serving as much as a year behind bars or agreeing to a three-year exile in Canada. Watson, a 35-year-old former teacher at Buffalo Seminary in New York state, chose Canada.


Under the sentence for sexual abuse imposed by Cheektowaga town court, Watson can enter the United States only to report to his probation officer. Watson already lives across the border in Fort Erie, Ont., with his Canadian wife and three children. The sentence starts Monday.


Robert Kolken, a Buffalo immigration lawyer, told the Toronto Star that exiling a citizen is unheard of.


"I don't see how a judge sitting in a criminal court in the U.S. can lawfully banish a citizen as a condition of sentencing," he said.
