It's starting to feel to me like Bush is doing so badly, and sliding on down the drain so quickly, that Dems could have a public orgy on Pennsylvania Avenue and still win the election.

Or do you think it is patriotic in the truest sense of the word?

"Only an insignificant fraction of scientists deny the global warming crisis. The time for debate is over. The science is settled."

S o said Al Gore ... in 1992. Amazingly, he made his claims despite much evidence of their falsity. A Gallup poll at the time reported that 53% of scientists actively involved in global climate research did not believe global warming had occurred; 30% weren't sure; and only 17% believed global warming had begun. Even a Greenpeace poll showed 47% of climatologists didn't think a runaway greenhouse effect was imminent; only 36% thought it possible and a mere 13% thought it probable.

Today, Al Gore is making the same claims of a scientific consensus, as do the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and hundreds of government agencies and environmental groups around the world.

The above slogan has been around for a long time, and has been frequently used by opponents of gun control for as long as I can remember. What I want to know is who, specifically, came up with that particular slogan.

Please note that I am not asking for individuals' views on gun control. While gun control is an interesting topic, it is beyond the scope of this question. I'm only interested in the origen of the slogan.

When a true Christian is faced with a difficult decision, the litmus test for such a decision ultimately comes down to one question: “What would Jesus do?” What, if any, of Bush’s policies or decisions resulted from his claim to be a true Christian? And by the way, simply saying that he’s pro-life doesn’t cut it. What has he legislated, proposed, or what adopted policies exemplify his Christianity? What distinguishes talking the talk from walking the walk?

young people must start out their lives in severe debt from student loans because they wanted an education?...i dont think making it completely public would help for many reasons. so what are your thoughts on a possible solution..how can we get costs for college lowered. i know the universities get government help, so why dont they lower tuition?

Just curious, since you guys find really stupid reasons to dislike candidates, I wondered whether this fact would have any impact?

Putin warned that Moscow could take "retaliatory steps" if Washington proceeds with plans to build a missile defense system for Europe, including possibly aiming nuclear weapons at targets on the continent.

Iran's top security official called the U.S. plans for the missile defense shield a "joke," saying Iranian missiles do not have the capability to reach Europe.

Do you think we are just looking like weak prey to the rest of the world?

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;

3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;

4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;

6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;

7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;

8. One to viciously smear #7;

9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;

10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

With the indictment now filed, will Democrat leadership ask Rep. Jefferson to resign from the House? After all, they've demanded resignations from Republicans for far less.

It sounds crazy, I know, but I just finished a job reading high school essays from the state of North Carolina, and I was shocked by how many students believed that Iraq was responsible for 9-11. Is it their fault for being so ignorant, or have they been tricked by the administration and goofball conservative media like Limbaugh, Hannity, Fox News etc?

Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m a junior at Umass Lowell. I’m a music education major. I never was that interested in politics but now as I’m getting older I’m finding myself more and more interested.
Is there a book that you know of that is a good intro to politics that isn’t a textbook?
At this point, I also don’t even know what I would be considered, democrat or republican! I need some help! I'm looking for a book that isn't too biased (but of course, bias is almost inevitable..) :-)

Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you so much!!

Christianity versus Islam?

If so, why haven't other Christian nations joined the fight?

How do we fight a religion versus fighting a nation-state?

Remember when the FBI first searched his office and home? the GOP was outraged. Hastert and Delay DEMANDED all item be returned to Jefferson. They even held hearings. They complained to Bush and the Justice dept. What did the GOP NOT want the FBI to find, and how many GOP members will he bring down with him?


And it was clearly not a privacy issue from the party that brought us Big Brother, the PAT ACT, and warrantless wiretapping.
