Politics - 2 November 2006

Consider:
What if a democrat lamblasted a republican veteran? Can't you just see the outrage of questioning someone's honorable service where they laid their life on the line?

We wouldn't even get to it,- if democrats had the Abermoff money laundering scandal, and the Foley sexual harassment of boys on their agenda to defend. But, because Republicans are the guilty ones here, they have to distract us with front page news of a democrat's military service. As if that's more important than who is currently involoved in one illegal action after another.

Remember what Republicans did with Clinton, -who had consentual heterosexual sex with an adult. Yes, he was disgusting to cheat on his wife. But, what if he had done so with a boy, as the Republican party glosses over?

Why is it that R stands for Rhetoric these days?

If only the Democrats would stand up and speak as well as they served. Then we'd have something.

I'm referring to the ad where the young white woman says she met Ford at the Playboy Super Bowl party and coyly says "Harold... call me!"

For one thing, I'm glad to see that a black man can run in a state governor election, something that would not have been possible years ago. I definitely approve of interracial relationdhips (I'm in one) so in a way, it's kind of cool that the ad has an interracial theme. But two questions:

1) Was it necessary to use a white woman? If it had been a black woman in the ad, this would not even be an issue.

2) Is it also possible the ad was to call attention to the fact that Ford (an extremely light-skinned man who could pass for white) is actually black? I mean, was the real purpose to call attention to his ethnicity to those who might not have known he was black?

Does this sound like Kerry was talking about Bush? NO!

If it was a joke he would have said that immediately. Instead, he dug his heels in and said, "I will not apologize...." If it was a joke he would have apologized and restated the joke...he didn't! His comments just show his continued hatred towards the US military.

War is peace.
Wrong is right.
Up is down.
Death is life.
Lies are truth.
Bill Clinton did it.

I don't know about you, but that does not give me much comfort. Do you find it comforting to know we have just enough troops to "make do"? If I was on the ground there I would want more support that just enough to "make do".

They impeached Clinton for a minor dalliance in which he didn't even get to third base. But taking the Constitution and pushing it through the shredder, why is that just fine and dandy?

President Bush repeatedly echoes the same cliché:

“We’re fighting them (terrorists) over there so we don’t have to fight them here.”

This makes no sense whatsoever. How did this invasion of a sovereign nation, supposedly to uncover an arsenal of WMD, turn into a global war on terrorism? If we end the war tomorrow and redeploy all our troops, are we to believe that all the terrorists in Iraq will hop on a plane and come to America? How does the war in Iraq prevent terrorist attacks elsewhere? This rationale to continue the war just doesn’t make sense. Terrorism is a global issue. Terrorists live in virtually every major country in the world. There were few, if any terrorists in Iraq before we invaded this country. The growing numbers of insurgents are there because we’re there. How do we measure victory in Iraq? What events need to take place before we declare victory in Iraq and proclaim that we have won the global war on terrorism. Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

Are you tired of the negative, name calling, judgemental politics of personal insult and issue avoidance? Are you interested in being part of the tiniest beginnings of change? I know I am. I am a liberal who is willing to pledge to avoid name calling, judgement and personal attacks, and begin seriously discussing issues with anyone interested. Join me in this pledge. It's a small beginning but een if it only impacts a handful of people here on Answers it will be a good start. If leaders (of all party's) will not lead we must step in front and lead them.
Lincoln's words still hold true today, "A nation divided against itself cannot stand". Let's begin the stand as citizens against divisiveness.

If you are interested in beginning true reasoned discourse email me, contact me on 360 or answer here.

Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demand for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the.............

IRS Form 1040 violates the federal Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and is therefore a legally invalid form. Under the Public Protection clause of the PRA, no person can be penalized for failing to file a 1040 if the IRS fails to fully comply with the PRA.

The IRS Individual Form 1040 has not and cannot comply with the requirements of the PRA because no existing statute authorizes the IRS to impose or collect the federal income tax from individuals. That lack of bona fide authority makes it impossible for IRS to avoid violating the PRA. IRS Form 1040 has not had a valid OMB(Office of Management and Budget) control number since 1982.
