The "Mother of Five" who has promised to clean up Washington has a son who has been hired by Info USA at $180,000 a year as "Vice President of Stragegic Planning", without having any experience and being able to keep his day job as a loan officer in California. Info USA was cited by the New York Times for compiling lists of names purchased by scam artists who cheat elderly Alzheimers patients into thinking that they had ordered expensive merchandise. Once the victim provided their financial information, their accounts were emptied. I'm sure that mom's new job had nothing to do with junior's cushy deal. Of course, since he didn't have to show up for work at Info USA's offices in Nebraska, he probably wasn't involved in the scam. Ethics in action!

The one thing the United States can never do is back the same President. We came awful close with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy, but the first admidistration was plagued by haunting remains of anti/,Revolutionary's Lincoln never won back the South, and John F. had pulled this country to its closest the day he was shot and killed. Is this our strentgh or our weakness. Are we going to continue to seperate our values of our leaders? Ronald Reagan easily stole my grandfather's ( a true blue teamester, Demorcrat all the way....) vote away from his party because as he put it, " He is one tough cowboy" for years I debated with him for casting such a careless vote, never once had he agreed. Isn't loyality a wonderful quality?

Why is it wrong to not want religion and government combined? I think it keeps it fair to all of the religions in this country. For me it is either all religions or none. The U.S. just has too many religions and we could never satisfy everyone. It leads to arguments. I just think we should keep it out . Then one religion will not be superior to any other.

These spiders were genetically mutated by a doctor who in the movie actually cared more about those damn spiders than he did about human lives.

At the end when he died, someone else comes along and tells one of the heros of the movie that they're gonna cover it all up and report that the people who got attacked by the spiders and were injured suffered "hallucinations".


That's totally wrong. Their friends and family members of the injured and killed have a right to know the truth about what really happened.


If this happened in real life, wouldn't the truth defintiely be exposed and the injured people and the family of the ones killed have justice, the truth revealed and a lucriative financial compentasation?

Like I said, that ending really bothered me and really upset me.

As a conservative who is outraged at our lack of border security and immigration reform over Bush's 6 years in office, it seems to me he gave the Hillary EXACTLY the bill she wanted. Amnesty for 12 million illegals. Still a border that is as porous as ever, and to top it off, a guest worker program. Bush has never been conservative. Never really tried to be. But when he turn into a liberal? And where was I when it happened?

everyone thinks that he's the worst pres. we have ever had. "he's breaking the law, he's killing our troops" bla bla bla. first of all, that wire tapping, what a great idea!!! if he can track terrorist from this, great!!! stop it befor it happens. tace the call and put a 50 cal, right between their eyes.
"he's killing out troops" thats just bull. i have a total of 7 years in the middle east. sure alot of troops are crying. but they signed up for it!! let them cry. if you read into this alittle more, i he's also making a statement. he's letting everyone know that if your even thinking of messing with the u.s you'll pay the price. has anyone seen any planes crashing into buildings? any bombs on u.s soil? no! they have tried and been cought befor it could happen.
i don't really think alot of you have the right to even talk about it unless you have been in the armed forces, been shot at or seen your friends die. just sit at your computers and complain.

They both turn to inhumane actions when they can't get their way.

I don't trust neither one of them.

Is english only laws equal racism?

I'm in favor of english being the national language of the US and surprised it isn't or am I just missing it? I'm filipino and my family immigrated here in '86 and we understood that if we plan to succeed in the states it is to learn the language. But we have not forgotten our national language. No law that I know of prohibits that.

Dearies, there is NO excuse that :1/ you are under 30 :) 2/ you are hardcore "patriots", 3/ your education sucked, or 4/ as the true americans, you dont give a flying fvck.
Just a thought after browsing all those totally senseless Q&A's.
There may be perhaps one valid, or thought provoking question/ answer in 50 /fifty/ or so.

USA’s aid, in terms of percentage of their GNP has almost always been lower than any other industrialized nation in the world, though paradoxically since 2000, their dollar amount has been the highest. (Only since 2004 have they move up from last place, by just one or two places.)
