Politics - 30 October 2006

I need to write a persuasive speech about a problem in the U.S.
I need to also figure out why the problem is important, what the most important cause of the problem is, and find a solution (a public policy) in which the problem can be reduced.
I can figure out the last part of my question, I just really need some topic suggestions.

When Mexicans become the majority in a few years. The census bureau has made it clear that by 2040 or so whites will be the minority, will you support Affirmitive Action for us then?

Conservatives' main argument about Iraq seems to be that liberals aren't offering any better ideas.

So my question is simply, do you all think we are handling the situation correctly now? Do you see the violence ending this decade? Next decade?

If not, what's your plan?

Okay so lets face it, complete communism (complete public sector) and complete capitalism (complete private sector) would never work. But I had to decide between the two, I'd personally choose capitalism.
Any opions and reasonings?

Nicaragua has passed a law banning all abortions, even for rape victims and women who risk dying in childbirth, in a move backed both by conservative and left wing politicians eager to win Catholic votes a week before a presidential election. The bill was passed in a 52-0 vote. Chile and El Salvador, have a similar blanket ban.

Doctors who carry out abortions on rape victims or women who could die at childbirth will face a four-to-eight-year jail sentence. The women will face the same penalty.

Do you agree with the law....or disagree?

We certainly want to turn over security to Iraqi forces, and a lot has been made about the number of military & police we've trained. However, it now seems that sectarian militias and even death squads exist within these groups. But still, other than us, they're the only "security" available.

So do you think the military and police we're training are helping solve the violence, or are they making it worse?

There are good arguments for both sides.

Why can't they just admit there were skeletons in the closet years before they were born? Stuff that has nothing to do with them now (slavery). Why must there always be someone to blame? Now they've "swapped" with Republicans. The blame game is what costs Dem votes.

Liberals think the way they do because they listen to Democracy Now, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NewYorkTimes, WashingtonPost. What do all this news sources have in common? They have a template and action line that must meet the editor's guidelines which is "anything that hurts the republicans" print it. Anything that hurts the democrats, don't print it, unless forced to by the Right Wing Watch Dogs. That is why when you talk to a LIBERAL, they are so far off in lala land, believing what they read, hear, and see from the "drive-by media" and left wing looneytunes. When they talk about Rush Limbaugh or the Fox Channel, the liberals don't listen but comment on what other people say about the "right" wing channels. Liberals themselves don't really hear it first hand, so they are clueless about LIBERAL ILLUSIONS like Air America, Democracy Now, and MoveOn.Org. So don't argue with a luney liberal, it is a waste of time.

75% Republican Why are liberals so scared to defend the very rights they abuse every night on answers? Is it the warm cozy feeling of hiding behind their computers and talking tough?

I mean, can you really "re-write" what torture is and what isn't?
Do you believe it's okay to inhumanly treat someone to get a confession or information?
