Politics - 29 June 2007

In my entire life - I've only met one person who holds an overtly extremist political view. The hundreds of other people I know are for the most part moderate - whether they are Democratic, Libertarian, or Republican - they are all for the most part moderate. Who are these extremists? Not what you've heard in the news or heard a politician elude to . . . but real people - your neighbors, your family & friends, etc,? Do you think the media and the politicians are taking a very small political view and blowing it up for their own personal gains? Again, who and where are these people?

With levels of obese people rising along with the levels of adverts telling you how to eat and exercise properly, how to be healthy and how damaging being obese is, i wonder, are a majority of people simply to stupid to look after themselves. People smoke, drink and do drugs even though they know it could and may kill them, and yet they still do it, despite all the warnings they continue, essentially killing themselves. So should the government take on a more facist approach to managing its population, is it there duty to make people do what it is in thier best intrests to do, because apparently a large amount of people are simply incapable or unwilling to do it for themselves.

and the Democratic/African American relationship? Both parties pander to the voting block to get elected and then completely ignore the base that won them the election when they are in office. Any thoughts . . . Thanks in advance.

If a candidate has enough money to run with his funds and private donations, do you think that it is better or worse for the constituency he represents?

In a hypothetical situation where an amendment to ban gay marriage reached a final senate vote needing only a majority, the vote is 50-50 requiring the VP to cast the tie breaking vote. Knowing that his political career is probably going to be pretty much over after his term as VP (at least as an elected official), does he vote against it, thus allowing his openly gay daughter to have the chance at marriage? Or does he continue to push the ultra-conservative ideals of the administration and vote for it?

I don't know if you've been reading about the Iranian protests over rationed gasoline . . . but it gave me a thought. The Iranian's own one of the largest oil fields in the world. They do not have the refining technology to process the crude - which is why they claim to be developing nuclear energy. Could this entire problem go away if we helped them build a refinery instead of turning to nuclear power?

I thought Free speech included the right to be offensive, especially politically offensive.

My father identified himself as a conservative Democrat, then as an Independent. He is a blue-collared worker since he runs the production line at his work who is part of the Teamster's Union, so he votes for the candidates that most support unions. He says he voted for Reagan when he ran for President because of how crappy of a President Jimmy Carter was, so Reagan was one of the only alternatives. He says that he thinks JFK, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton were good Presidents, even though they had different political stances.

a democratic President next election than any democrat could have ever hope to do. His fear campaign is basically over, it no longer works. So why do so many republicans still insist on such baseless, outrageous statements and still try using fear to garner votes? Tax and spend...well just who is going to pay for this Iraq fiasco? Cut and run, that was Reagan in Beirut not democrats. They're going to take our guns, it's never happened and never will and let's not forget gays and abortion destroying America. Has the hate and fear message finally gotten to the end of its road?

Complain about immigrants entering the US when they themselves illegally entered Iraq and destroyed everything in sight. They then massacred hundreds of thousand s of Iraqis and tortured prisoners at Abu Grahab and they have caused civil conflict between the Shia and Sunni communities. How can these people complain about immigrants entering the US when they are happy to enter other peoples countries themselves in order to steal natural resources like oil?

CNN

"...Tariq Aziz was perhaps the Iraqi official most recognized by westerners, with his white hair, glasses and articulate statements in fluent English.

A Christian in the top hierarchy of Baghdad, Aziz was also a dyed-in-the-wool member of the ruling Baath party..."
